"kjv","1","1","1","In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
"kjv","1","1","2","And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
"kjv","1","1","3","And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
"kjv","1","1","4","And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
"kjv","1","1","5","And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
"kjv","1","1","6","And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."
"kjv","1","1","7","And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so."
"kjv","1","1","8","And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
"kjv","1","1","9","And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so."
"kjv","1","1","10","And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."
"kjv","1","1","11","And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."
"kjv","1","1","12","And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
"kjv","1","1","13","And the evening and the morning were the third day."
"kjv","1","1","14","And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:"
"kjv","1","1","15","And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so."
"kjv","1","1","16","And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also."
"kjv","1","1","17","And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,"
"kjv","1","1","18","And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good."
"kjv","1","1","19","And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
"kjv","1","1","20","And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven."
"kjv","1","1","21","And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
"kjv","1","1","22","And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth."
"kjv","1","1","23","And the evening and the morning were the fifth day."
"kjv","1","1","24","And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so."
"kjv","1","1","25","And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
"kjv","1","1","26","And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
"kjv","1","1","27","So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
"kjv","1","1","28","And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
"kjv","1","1","29","And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
"kjv","1","1","30","And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so."
"kjv","1","1","31","And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
"kjv","1","2","1","Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them."
"kjv","1","2","2","And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."
"kjv","1","2","3","And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."
"kjv","1","2","4","These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,"
"kjv","1","2","5","And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground."
"kjv","1","2","6","But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."
"kjv","1","2","7","And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
"kjv","1","2","8","And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."
"kjv","1","2","9","And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
"kjv","1","2","10","And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."
"kjv","1","2","11","The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;"
"kjv","1","2","12","And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone."
"kjv","1","2","13","And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia."
"kjv","1","2","14","And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates."
"kjv","1","2","15","And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it."
"kjv","1","2","16","And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:"
"kjv","1","2","17","But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
"kjv","1","2","18","And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."
"kjv","1","2","19","And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof."
"kjv","1","2","20","And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him."
"kjv","1","2","21","And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;"
"kjv","1","2","22","And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man."
"kjv","1","2","23","And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
"kjv","1","2","24","Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
"kjv","1","2","25","And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
"kjv","1","3","1","Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
"kjv","1","3","2","And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:"
"kjv","1","3","3","But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."
"kjv","1","3","4","And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"
"kjv","1","3","5","For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."
"kjv","1","3","6","And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."
"kjv","1","3","7","And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."
"kjv","1","3","8","And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden."
"kjv","1","3","9","And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"
"kjv","1","3","10","And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
"kjv","1","3","11","And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"
"kjv","1","3","12","And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."
"kjv","1","3","13","And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
"kjv","1","3","14","And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:"
"kjv","1","3","15","And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
"kjv","1","3","16","Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
"kjv","1","3","17","And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;"
"kjv","1","3","18","Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;"
"kjv","1","3","19","In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
"kjv","1","3","20","And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."
"kjv","1","3","21","Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them."
"kjv","1","3","22","And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:"
"kjv","1","3","23","Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken."
"kjv","1","3","24","So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
"kjv","1","4","1","And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD."
"kjv","1","4","2","And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."
"kjv","1","4","3","And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","1","4","4","And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:"
"kjv","1","4","5","But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell."
"kjv","1","4","6","And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?"
"kjv","1","4","7","If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."
"kjv","1","4","8","And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."
"kjv","1","4","9","And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
"kjv","1","4","10","And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."
"kjv","1","4","11","And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;"
"kjv","1","4","12","When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth."
"kjv","1","4","13","And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear."
"kjv","1","4","14","Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me."
"kjv","1","4","15","And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him."
"kjv","1","4","16","And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden."
"kjv","1","4","17","And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch."
"kjv","1","4","18","And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech."
"kjv","1","4","19","And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah."
"kjv","1","4","20","And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle."
"kjv","1","4","21","And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ."
"kjv","1","4","22","And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah."
"kjv","1","4","23","And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt."
"kjv","1","4","24","If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold."
"kjv","1","4","25","And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew."
"kjv","1","4","26","And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD."
"kjv","1","5","1","This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;"
"kjv","1","5","2","Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
"kjv","1","5","3","And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:"
"kjv","1","5","4","And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","5","And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","6","And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:"
"kjv","1","5","7","And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","8","And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","9","And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:"
"kjv","1","5","10","And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","11","And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","12","And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:"
"kjv","1","5","13","And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","14","And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","15","And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:"
"kjv","1","5","16","And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","17","And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","18","And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:"
"kjv","1","5","19","And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","20","And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","21","And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:"
"kjv","1","5","22","And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","23","And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:"
"kjv","1","5","24","And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."
"kjv","1","5","25","And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:"
"kjv","1","5","26","And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","27","And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","28","And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:"
"kjv","1","5","29","And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed."
"kjv","1","5","30","And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"kjv","1","5","31","And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died."
"kjv","1","5","32","And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
"kjv","1","6","1","And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,"
"kjv","1","6","2","That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."
"kjv","1","6","3","And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
"kjv","1","6","4","There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
"kjv","1","6","5","And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
"kjv","1","6","6","And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."
"kjv","1","6","7","And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
"kjv","1","6","8","But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD."
"kjv","1","6","9","These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."
"kjv","1","6","10","And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
"kjv","1","6","11","The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."
"kjv","1","6","12","And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth."
"kjv","1","6","13","And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."
"kjv","1","6","14","Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch."
"kjv","1","6","15","And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits."
"kjv","1","6","16","A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it."
"kjv","1","6","17","And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die."
"kjv","1","6","18","But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee."
"kjv","1","6","19","And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."
"kjv","1","6","20","Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive."
"kjv","1","6","21","And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them."
"kjv","1","6","22","Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."
"kjv","1","7","1","And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation."
"kjv","1","7","2","Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female."
"kjv","1","7","3","Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth."
"kjv","1","7","4","For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth."
"kjv","1","7","5","And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him."
"kjv","1","7","6","And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth."
"kjv","1","7","7","And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood."
"kjv","1","7","8","Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,"
"kjv","1","7","9","There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah."
"kjv","1","7","10","And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth."
"kjv","1","7","11","In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
"kjv","1","7","12","And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights."
"kjv","1","7","13","In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;"
"kjv","1","7","14","They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort."
"kjv","1","7","15","And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life."
"kjv","1","7","16","And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in."
"kjv","1","7","17","And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth."
"kjv","1","7","18","And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters."
"kjv","1","7","19","And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered."
"kjv","1","7","20","Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered."
"kjv","1","7","21","And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:"
"kjv","1","7","22","All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died."
"kjv","1","7","23","And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark."
"kjv","1","7","24","And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."
"kjv","1","8","1","And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;"
"kjv","1","8","2","The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;"
"kjv","1","8","3","And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated."
"kjv","1","8","4","And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."
"kjv","1","8","5","And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen."
"kjv","1","8","6","And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:"
"kjv","1","8","7","And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth."
"kjv","1","8","8","Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;"
"kjv","1","8","9","But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark."
"kjv","1","8","10","And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;"
"kjv","1","8","11","And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth."
"kjv","1","8","12","And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more."
"kjv","1","8","13","And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry."
"kjv","1","8","14","And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried."
"kjv","1","8","15","And God spake unto Noah, saying,"
"kjv","1","8","16","Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee."
"kjv","1","8","17","Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth."
"kjv","1","8","18","And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:"
"kjv","1","8","19","Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark."
"kjv","1","8","20","And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar."
"kjv","1","8","21","And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done."
"kjv","1","8","22","While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
"kjv","1","9","1","And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."
"kjv","1","9","2","And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered."
"kjv","1","9","3","Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things."
"kjv","1","9","4","But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat."
"kjv","1","9","5","And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man."
"kjv","1","9","6","Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."
"kjv","1","9","7","And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein."
"kjv","1","9","8","And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,"
"kjv","1","9","9","And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;"
"kjv","1","9","10","And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth."
"kjv","1","9","11","And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth."
"kjv","1","9","12","And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:"
"kjv","1","9","13","I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth."
"kjv","1","9","14","And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:"
"kjv","1","9","15","And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh."
"kjv","1","9","16","And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."
"kjv","1","9","17","And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."
"kjv","1","9","18","And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan."
"kjv","1","9","19","These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread."
"kjv","1","9","20","And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:"
"kjv","1","9","21","And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent."
"kjv","1","9","22","And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without."
"kjv","1","9","23","And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness."
"kjv","1","9","24","And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him."
"kjv","1","9","25","And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren."
"kjv","1","9","26","And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."
"kjv","1","9","27","God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."
"kjv","1","9","28","And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years."
"kjv","1","9","29","And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."
"kjv","1","10","1","Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood."
"kjv","1","10","2","The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras."
"kjv","1","10","3","And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah."
"kjv","1","10","4","And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim."
"kjv","1","10","5","By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."
"kjv","1","10","6","And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan."
"kjv","1","10","7","And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan."
"kjv","1","10","8","And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth."
"kjv","1","10","9","He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."
"kjv","1","10","10","And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."
"kjv","1","10","11","Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,"
"kjv","1","10","12","And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city."
"kjv","1","10","13","And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,"
"kjv","1","10","14","And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim."
"kjv","1","10","15","And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,"
"kjv","1","10","16","And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,"
"kjv","1","10","17","And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,"
"kjv","1","10","18","And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad."
"kjv","1","10","19","And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha."
"kjv","1","10","20","These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations."
"kjv","1","10","21","Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born."
"kjv","1","10","22","The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram."
"kjv","1","10","23","And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash."
"kjv","1","10","24","And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber."
"kjv","1","10","25","And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan."
"kjv","1","10","26","And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,"
"kjv","1","10","27","And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,"
"kjv","1","10","28","And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,"
"kjv","1","10","29","And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan."
"kjv","1","10","30","And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east."
"kjv","1","10","31","These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations."
"kjv","1","10","32","These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood."
"kjv","1","11","1","And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech."
"kjv","1","11","2","And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there."
"kjv","1","11","3","And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar."
"kjv","1","11","4","And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
"kjv","1","11","5","And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded."
"kjv","1","11","6","And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
"kjv","1","11","7","Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
"kjv","1","11","8","So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."
"kjv","1","11","9","Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
"kjv","1","11","10","These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:"
"kjv","1","11","11","And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","12","And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:"
"kjv","1","11","13","And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","14","And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:"
"kjv","1","11","15","And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","16","And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:"
"kjv","1","11","17","And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","18","And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:"
"kjv","1","11","19","And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","20","And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:"
"kjv","1","11","21","And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","22","And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:"
"kjv","1","11","23","And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","24","And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:"
"kjv","1","11","25","And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","1","11","26","And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran."
"kjv","1","11","27","Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot."
"kjv","1","11","28","And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees."
"kjv","1","11","29","And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah."
"kjv","1","11","30","But Sarai was barren; she had no child."
"kjv","1","11","31","And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there."
"kjv","1","11","32","And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran."
"kjv","1","12","1","Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:"
"kjv","1","12","2","And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:"
"kjv","1","12","3","And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
"kjv","1","12","4","So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."
"kjv","1","12","5","And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came."
"kjv","1","12","6","And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land."
"kjv","1","12","7","And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him."
"kjv","1","12","8","And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD."
"kjv","1","12","9","And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south."
"kjv","1","12","10","And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land."
"kjv","1","12","11","And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:"
"kjv","1","12","12","Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive."
"kjv","1","12","13","Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee."
"kjv","1","12","14","And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair."
"kjv","1","12","15","The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house."
"kjv","1","12","16","And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels."
"kjv","1","12","17","And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife."
"kjv","1","12","18","And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?"
"kjv","1","12","19","Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way."
"kjv","1","12","20","And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had."
"kjv","1","13","1","And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south."
"kjv","1","13","2","And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."
"kjv","1","13","3","And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;"
"kjv","1","13","4","Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD."
"kjv","1","13","5","And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents."
"kjv","1","13","6","And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together."
"kjv","1","13","7","And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land."
"kjv","1","13","8","And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren."
"kjv","1","13","9","Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left."
"kjv","1","13","10","And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar."
"kjv","1","13","11","Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other."
"kjv","1","13","12","Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom."
"kjv","1","13","13","But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly."
"kjv","1","13","14","And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:"
"kjv","1","13","15","For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."
"kjv","1","13","16","And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered."
"kjv","1","13","17","Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee."
"kjv","1","13","18","Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD."
"kjv","1","14","1","And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;"
"kjv","1","14","2","That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar."
"kjv","1","14","3","All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea."
"kjv","1","14","4","Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled."
"kjv","1","14","5","And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,"
"kjv","1","14","6","And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness."
"kjv","1","14","7","And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar."
"kjv","1","14","8","And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;"
"kjv","1","14","9","With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five."
"kjv","1","14","10","And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain."
"kjv","1","14","11","And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way."
"kjv","1","14","12","And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed."
"kjv","1","14","13","And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram."
"kjv","1","14","14","And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan."
"kjv","1","14","15","And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus."
"kjv","1","14","16","And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people."
"kjv","1","14","17","And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale."
"kjv","1","14","18","And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God."
"kjv","1","14","19","And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:"
"kjv","1","14","20","And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all."
"kjv","1","14","21","And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself."
"kjv","1","14","22","And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,"
"kjv","1","14","23","That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:"
"kjv","1","14","24","Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion."
"kjv","1","15","1","After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward."
"kjv","1","15","2","And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?"
"kjv","1","15","3","And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir."
"kjv","1","15","4","And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir."
"kjv","1","15","5","And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."
"kjv","1","15","6","And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness."
"kjv","1","15","7","And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it."
"kjv","1","15","8","And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?"
"kjv","1","15","9","And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
"kjv","1","15","10","And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not."
"kjv","1","15","11","And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away."
"kjv","1","15","12","And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him."
"kjv","1","15","13","And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;"
"kjv","1","15","14","And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."
"kjv","1","15","15","And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age."
"kjv","1","15","16","But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
"kjv","1","15","17","And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces."
"kjv","1","15","18","In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"
"kjv","1","15","19","The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,"
"kjv","1","15","20","And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,"
"kjv","1","15","21","And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
"kjv","1","16","1","Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar."
"kjv","1","16","2","And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai."
"kjv","1","16","3","And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife."
"kjv","1","16","4","And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes."
"kjv","1","16","5","And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee."
"kjv","1","16","6","But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face."
"kjv","1","16","7","And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur."
"kjv","1","16","8","And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai."
"kjv","1","16","9","And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands."
"kjv","1","16","10","And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude."
"kjv","1","16","11","And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction."
"kjv","1","16","12","And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
"kjv","1","16","13","And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?"
"kjv","1","16","14","Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered."
"kjv","1","16","15","And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael."
"kjv","1","16","16","And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram."
"kjv","1","17","1","And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect."
"kjv","1","17","2","And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly."
"kjv","1","17","3","And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,"
"kjv","1","17","4","As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations."
"kjv","1","17","5","Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee."
"kjv","1","17","6","And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee."
"kjv","1","17","7","And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."
"kjv","1","17","8","And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."
"kjv","1","17","9","And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations."
"kjv","1","17","10","This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised."
"kjv","1","17","11","And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you."
"kjv","1","17","12","And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed."
"kjv","1","17","13","He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant."
"kjv","1","17","14","And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant."
"kjv","1","17","15","And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be."
"kjv","1","17","16","And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her."
"kjv","1","17","17","Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?"
"kjv","1","17","18","And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!"
"kjv","1","17","19","And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."
"kjv","1","17","20","And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."
"kjv","1","17","21","But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."
"kjv","1","17","22","And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham."
"kjv","1","17","23","And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him."
"kjv","1","17","24","And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
"kjv","1","17","25","And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
"kjv","1","17","26","In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son."
"kjv","1","17","27","And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him."
"kjv","1","18","1","And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;"
"kjv","1","18","2","And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,"
"kjv","1","18","3","And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:"
"kjv","1","18","4","Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:"
"kjv","1","18","5","And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said."
"kjv","1","18","6","And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth."
"kjv","1","18","7","And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it."
"kjv","1","18","8","And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat."
"kjv","1","18","9","And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent."
"kjv","1","18","10","And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him."
"kjv","1","18","11","Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women."
"kjv","1","18","12","Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
"kjv","1","18","13","And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?"
"kjv","1","18","14","Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
"kjv","1","18","15","Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh."
"kjv","1","18","16","And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way."
"kjv","1","18","17","And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;"
"kjv","1","18","18","Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?"
"kjv","1","18","19","For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."
"kjv","1","18","20","And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;"
"kjv","1","18","21","I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know."
"kjv","1","18","22","And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD."
"kjv","1","18","23","And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?"
"kjv","1","18","24","Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?"
"kjv","1","18","25","That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
"kjv","1","18","26","And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes."
"kjv","1","18","27","And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:"
"kjv","1","18","28","Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it."
"kjv","1","18","29","And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake."
"kjv","1","18","30","And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
"kjv","1","18","31","And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake."
"kjv","1","18","32","And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake."
"kjv","1","18","33","And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place."
"kjv","1","19","1","And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;"
"kjv","1","19","2","And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night."
"kjv","1","19","3","And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat."
"kjv","1","19","4","But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:"
"kjv","1","19","5","And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them."
"kjv","1","19","6","And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,"
"kjv","1","19","7","And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly."
"kjv","1","19","8","Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof."
"kjv","1","19","9","And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door."
"kjv","1","19","10","But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door."
"kjv","1","19","11","And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door."
"kjv","1","19","12","And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:"
"kjv","1","19","13","For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it."
"kjv","1","19","14","And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law."
"kjv","1","19","15","And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city."
"kjv","1","19","16","And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city."
"kjv","1","19","17","And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed."
"kjv","1","19","18","And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:"
"kjv","1","19","19","Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:"
"kjv","1","19","20","Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live."
"kjv","1","19","21","And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken."
"kjv","1","19","22","Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar."
"kjv","1","19","23","The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar."
"kjv","1","19","24","Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;"
"kjv","1","19","25","And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."
"kjv","1","19","26","But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."
"kjv","1","19","27","And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:"
"kjv","1","19","28","And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace."
"kjv","1","19","29","And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt."
"kjv","1","19","30","And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters."
"kjv","1","19","31","And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:"
"kjv","1","19","32","Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father."
"kjv","1","19","33","And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose."
"kjv","1","19","34","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father."
"kjv","1","19","35","And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose."
"kjv","1","19","36","Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father."
"kjv","1","19","37","And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day."
"kjv","1","19","38","And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day."
"kjv","1","20","1","And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar."
"kjv","1","20","2","And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah."
"kjv","1","20","3","But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife."
"kjv","1","20","4","But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?"
"kjv","1","20","5","Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this."
"kjv","1","20","6","And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her."
"kjv","1","20","7","Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine."
"kjv","1","20","8","Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid."
"kjv","1","20","9","Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done."
"kjv","1","20","10","And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?"
"kjv","1","20","11","And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake."
"kjv","1","20","12","And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife."
"kjv","1","20","13","And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother."
"kjv","1","20","14","And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife."
"kjv","1","20","15","And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee."
"kjv","1","20","16","And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved."
"kjv","1","20","17","So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children."
"kjv","1","20","18","For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife."
"kjv","1","21","1","And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken."
"kjv","1","21","2","For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him."
"kjv","1","21","3","And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac."
"kjv","1","21","4","And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him."
"kjv","1","21","5","And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him."
"kjv","1","21","6","And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me."
"kjv","1","21","7","And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age."
"kjv","1","21","8","And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned."
"kjv","1","21","9","And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking."
"kjv","1","21","10","Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac."
"kjv","1","21","11","And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son."
"kjv","1","21","12","And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called."
"kjv","1","21","13","And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed."
"kjv","1","21","14","And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba."
"kjv","1","21","15","And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs."
"kjv","1","21","16","And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept."
"kjv","1","21","17","And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is."
"kjv","1","21","18","Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation."
"kjv","1","21","19","And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."
"kjv","1","21","20","And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer."
"kjv","1","21","21","And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","21","22","And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:"
"kjv","1","21","23","Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned."
"kjv","1","21","24","And Abraham said, I will swear."
"kjv","1","21","25","And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away."
"kjv","1","21","26","And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day."
"kjv","1","21","27","And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant."
"kjv","1","21","28","And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves."
"kjv","1","21","29","And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?"
"kjv","1","21","30","And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well."
"kjv","1","21","31","Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them."
"kjv","1","21","32","Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines."
"kjv","1","21","33","And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God."
"kjv","1","21","34","And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days."
"kjv","1","22","1","And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am."
"kjv","1","22","2","And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."
"kjv","1","22","3","And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him."
"kjv","1","22","4","Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off."
"kjv","1","22","5","And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you."
"kjv","1","22","6","And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together."
"kjv","1","22","7","And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"
"kjv","1","22","8","And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together."
"kjv","1","22","9","And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood."
"kjv","1","22","10","And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son."
"kjv","1","22","11","And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I."
"kjv","1","22","12","And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me."
"kjv","1","22","13","And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son."
"kjv","1","22","14","And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen."
"kjv","1","22","15","And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,"
"kjv","1","22","16","And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:"
"kjv","1","22","17","That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;"
"kjv","1","22","18","And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice."
"kjv","1","22","19","So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba."
"kjv","1","22","20","And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;"
"kjv","1","22","21","Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,"
"kjv","1","22","22","And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
"kjv","1","22","23","And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother."
"kjv","1","22","24","And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah."
"kjv","1","23","1","And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah."
"kjv","1","23","2","And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her."
"kjv","1","23","3","And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,"
"kjv","1","23","4","I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."
"kjv","1","23","5","And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,"
"kjv","1","23","6","Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead."
"kjv","1","23","7","And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth."
"kjv","1","23","8","And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,"
"kjv","1","23","9","That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you."
"kjv","1","23","10","And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,"
"kjv","1","23","11","Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead."
"kjv","1","23","12","And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land."
"kjv","1","23","13","And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there."
"kjv","1","23","14","And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,"
"kjv","1","23","15","My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead."
"kjv","1","23","16","And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant."
"kjv","1","23","17","And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure"
"kjv","1","23","18","Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city."
"kjv","1","23","19","And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","1","23","20","And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth."
"kjv","1","24","1","And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things."
"kjv","1","24","2","And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:"
"kjv","1","24","3","And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:"
"kjv","1","24","4","But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac."
"kjv","1","24","5","And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?"
"kjv","1","24","6","And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again."
"kjv","1","24","7","The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence."
"kjv","1","24","8","And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again."
"kjv","1","24","9","And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter."
"kjv","1","24","10","And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor."
"kjv","1","24","11","And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water."
"kjv","1","24","12","And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham."
"kjv","1","24","13","Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:"
"kjv","1","24","14","And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master."
"kjv","1","24","15","And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder."
"kjv","1","24","16","And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up."
"kjv","1","24","17","And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher."
"kjv","1","24","18","And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink."
"kjv","1","24","19","And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking."
"kjv","1","24","20","And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels."
"kjv","1","24","21","And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not."
"kjv","1","24","22","And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;"
"kjv","1","24","23","And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?"
"kjv","1","24","24","And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor."
"kjv","1","24","25","She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."
"kjv","1","24","26","And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD."
"kjv","1","24","27","And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren."
"kjv","1","24","28","And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things."
"kjv","1","24","29","And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well."
"kjv","1","24","30","And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well."
"kjv","1","24","31","And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."
"kjv","1","24","32","And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him."
"kjv","1","24","33","And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on."
"kjv","1","24","34","And he said, I am Abraham's servant."
"kjv","1","24","35","And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses."
"kjv","1","24","36","And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath."
"kjv","1","24","37","And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:"
"kjv","1","24","38","But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son."
"kjv","1","24","39","And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me."
"kjv","1","24","40","And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:"
"kjv","1","24","41","Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath."
"kjv","1","24","42","And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:"
"kjv","1","24","43","Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;"
"kjv","1","24","44","And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son."
"kjv","1","24","45","And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee."
"kjv","1","24","46","And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also."
"kjv","1","24","47","And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands."
"kjv","1","24","48","And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son."
"kjv","1","24","49","And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."
"kjv","1","24","50","Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good."
"kjv","1","24","51","Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken."
"kjv","1","24","52","And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth."
"kjv","1","24","53","And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things."
"kjv","1","24","54","And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master."
"kjv","1","24","55","And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go."
"kjv","1","24","56","And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master."
"kjv","1","24","57","And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth."
"kjv","1","24","58","And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go."
"kjv","1","24","59","And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men."
"kjv","1","24","60","And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them."
"kjv","1","24","61","And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way."
"kjv","1","24","62","And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country."
"kjv","1","24","63","And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming."
"kjv","1","24","64","And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel."
"kjv","1","24","65","For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself."
"kjv","1","24","66","And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done."
"kjv","1","24","67","And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."
"kjv","1","25","1","Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah."
"kjv","1","25","2","And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah."
"kjv","1","25","3","And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim."
"kjv","1","25","4","And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah."
"kjv","1","25","5","And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac."
"kjv","1","25","6","But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country."
"kjv","1","25","7","And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years."
"kjv","1","25","8","Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people."
"kjv","1","25","9","And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;"
"kjv","1","25","10","The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife."
"kjv","1","25","11","And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi."
"kjv","1","25","12","Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:"
"kjv","1","25","13","And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,"
"kjv","1","25","14","And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,"
"kjv","1","25","15","Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:"
"kjv","1","25","16","These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations."
"kjv","1","25","17","And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people."
"kjv","1","25","18","And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren."
"kjv","1","25","19","And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:"
"kjv","1","25","20","And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian."
"kjv","1","25","21","And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived."
"kjv","1","25","22","And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD."
"kjv","1","25","23","And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger."
"kjv","1","25","24","And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb."
"kjv","1","25","25","And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau."
"kjv","1","25","26","And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them."
"kjv","1","25","27","And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents."
"kjv","1","25","28","And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob."
"kjv","1","25","29","And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:"
"kjv","1","25","30","And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom."
"kjv","1","25","31","And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright."
"kjv","1","25","32","And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?"
"kjv","1","25","33","And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob."
"kjv","1","25","34","Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright."
"kjv","1","26","1","And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar."
"kjv","1","26","2","And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:"
"kjv","1","26","3","Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;"
"kjv","1","26","4","And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;"
"kjv","1","26","5","Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
"kjv","1","26","6","And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:"
"kjv","1","26","7","And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon."
"kjv","1","26","8","And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife."
"kjv","1","26","9","And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her."
"kjv","1","26","10","And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us."
"kjv","1","26","11","And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","1","26","12","Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him."
"kjv","1","26","13","And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:"
"kjv","1","26","14","For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him."
"kjv","1","26","15","For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth."
"kjv","1","26","16","And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we."
"kjv","1","26","17","And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there."
"kjv","1","26","18","And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them."
"kjv","1","26","19","And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water."
"kjv","1","26","20","And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him."
"kjv","1","26","21","And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah."
"kjv","1","26","22","And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
"kjv","1","26","23","And he went up from thence to Beersheba."
"kjv","1","26","24","And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake."
"kjv","1","26","25","And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well."
"kjv","1","26","26","Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army."
"kjv","1","26","27","And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
"kjv","1","26","28","And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;"
"kjv","1","26","29","That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD."
"kjv","1","26","30","And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink."
"kjv","1","26","31","And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace."
"kjv","1","26","32","And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water."
"kjv","1","26","33","And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day."
"kjv","1","26","34","And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:"
"kjv","1","26","35","Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah."
"kjv","1","27","1","And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I."
"kjv","1","27","2","And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:"
"kjv","1","27","3","Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;"
"kjv","1","27","4","And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die."
"kjv","1","27","5","And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it."
"kjv","1","27","6","And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,"
"kjv","1","27","7","Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death."
"kjv","1","27","8","Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee."
"kjv","1","27","9","Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:"
"kjv","1","27","10","And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death."
"kjv","1","27","11","And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:"
"kjv","1","27","12","My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing."
"kjv","1","27","13","And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them."
"kjv","1","27","14","And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved."
"kjv","1","27","15","And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:"
"kjv","1","27","16","And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:"
"kjv","1","27","17","And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob."
"kjv","1","27","18","And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?"
"kjv","1","27","19","And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me."
"kjv","1","27","20","And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me."
"kjv","1","27","21","And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not."
"kjv","1","27","22","And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
"kjv","1","27","23","And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him."
"kjv","1","27","24","And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am."
"kjv","1","27","25","And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank."
"kjv","1","27","26","And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
"kjv","1","27","27","And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:"
"kjv","1","27","28","Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:"
"kjv","1","27","29","Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee."
"kjv","1","27","30","And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting."
"kjv","1","27","31","And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me."
"kjv","1","27","32","And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau."
"kjv","1","27","33","And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed."
"kjv","1","27","34","And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father."
"kjv","1","27","35","And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath taken away thy blessing."
"kjv","1","27","36","And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?"
"kjv","1","27","37","And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?"
"kjv","1","27","38","And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept."
"kjv","1","27","39","And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;"
"kjv","1","27","40","And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck."
"kjv","1","27","41","And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob."
"kjv","1","27","42","And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee."
"kjv","1","27","43","Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;"
"kjv","1","27","44","And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;"
"kjv","1","27","45","Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?"
"kjv","1","27","46","And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?"
"kjv","1","28","1","And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan."
"kjv","1","28","2","Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother."
"kjv","1","28","3","And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;"
"kjv","1","28","4","And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham."
"kjv","1","28","5","And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother."
"kjv","1","28","6","When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;"
"kjv","1","28","7","And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;"
"kjv","1","28","8","And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;"
"kjv","1","28","9","Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife."
"kjv","1","28","10","And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran."
"kjv","1","28","11","And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep."
"kjv","1","28","12","And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it."
"kjv","1","28","13","And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;"
"kjv","1","28","14","And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
"kjv","1","28","15","And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of."
"kjv","1","28","16","And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not."
"kjv","1","28","17","And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
"kjv","1","28","18","And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it."
"kjv","1","28","19","And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first."
"kjv","1","28","20","And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,"
"kjv","1","28","21","So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:"
"kjv","1","28","22","And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee."
"kjv","1","29","1","Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east."
"kjv","1","29","2","And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth."
"kjv","1","29","3","And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place."
"kjv","1","29","4","And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we."
"kjv","1","29","5","And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him."
"kjv","1","29","6","And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep."
"kjv","1","29","7","And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them."
"kjv","1","29","8","And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep."
"kjv","1","29","9","And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them."
"kjv","1","29","10","And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother."
"kjv","1","29","11","And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept."
"kjv","1","29","12","And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father."
"kjv","1","29","13","And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things."
"kjv","1","29","14","And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month."
"kjv","1","29","15","And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?"
"kjv","1","29","16","And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel."
"kjv","1","29","17","Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured."
"kjv","1","29","18","And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter."
"kjv","1","29","19","And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me."
"kjv","1","29","20","And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her."
"kjv","1","29","21","And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her."
"kjv","1","29","22","And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast."
"kjv","1","29","23","And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her."
"kjv","1","29","24","And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid."
"kjv","1","29","25","And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?"
"kjv","1","29","26","And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn."
"kjv","1","29","27","Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years."
"kjv","1","29","28","And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also."
"kjv","1","29","29","And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid."
"kjv","1","29","30","And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years."
"kjv","1","29","31","And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren."
"kjv","1","29","32","And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me."
"kjv","1","29","33","And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon."
"kjv","1","29","34","And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi."
"kjv","1","29","35","And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing."
"kjv","1","30","1","And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die."
"kjv","1","30","2","And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?"
"kjv","1","30","3","And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her."
"kjv","1","30","4","And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her."
"kjv","1","30","5","And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son."
"kjv","1","30","6","And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan."
"kjv","1","30","7","And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son."
"kjv","1","30","8","And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali."
"kjv","1","30","9","When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife."
"kjv","1","30","10","And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son."
"kjv","1","30","11","And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad."
"kjv","1","30","12","And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son."
"kjv","1","30","13","And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher."
"kjv","1","30","14","And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes."
"kjv","1","30","15","And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes."
"kjv","1","30","16","And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night."
"kjv","1","30","17","And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son."
"kjv","1","30","18","And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar."
"kjv","1","30","19","And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son."
"kjv","1","30","20","And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun."
"kjv","1","30","21","And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah."
"kjv","1","30","22","And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb."
"kjv","1","30","23","And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:"
"kjv","1","30","24","And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son."
"kjv","1","30","25","And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country."
"kjv","1","30","26","Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee."
"kjv","1","30","27","And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake."
"kjv","1","30","28","And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it."
"kjv","1","30","29","And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me."
"kjv","1","30","30","For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?"
"kjv","1","30","31","And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock."
"kjv","1","30","32","I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire."
"kjv","1","30","33","So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me."
"kjv","1","30","34","And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word."
"kjv","1","30","35","And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons."
"kjv","1","30","36","And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks."
"kjv","1","30","37","And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods."
"kjv","1","30","38","And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink."
"kjv","1","30","39","And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted."
"kjv","1","30","40","And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle."
"kjv","1","30","41","And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods."
"kjv","1","30","42","But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's."
"kjv","1","30","43","And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses."
"kjv","1","31","1","And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory."
"kjv","1","31","2","And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before."
"kjv","1","31","3","And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee."
"kjv","1","31","4","And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,"
"kjv","1","31","5","And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me."
"kjv","1","31","6","And ye know that with all my power I have served your father."
"kjv","1","31","7","And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me."
"kjv","1","31","8","If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstreaked."
"kjv","1","31","9","Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me."
"kjv","1","31","10","And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled."
"kjv","1","31","11","And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I."
"kjv","1","31","12","And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee."
"kjv","1","31","13","I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred."
"kjv","1","31","14","And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?"
"kjv","1","31","15","Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money."
"kjv","1","31","16","For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do."
"kjv","1","31","17","Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;"
"kjv","1","31","18","And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","1","31","19","And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's."
"kjv","1","31","20","And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled."
"kjv","1","31","21","So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead."
"kjv","1","31","22","And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled."
"kjv","1","31","23","And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead."
"kjv","1","31","24","And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad."
"kjv","1","31","25","Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead."
"kjv","1","31","26","And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?"
"kjv","1","31","27","Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?"
"kjv","1","31","28","And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing."
"kjv","1","31","29","It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad."
"kjv","1","31","30","And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?"
"kjv","1","31","31","And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me."
"kjv","1","31","32","With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them."
"kjv","1","31","33","And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent."
"kjv","1","31","34","Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not."
"kjv","1","31","35","And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images."
"kjv","1","31","36","And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?"
"kjv","1","31","37","Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both."
"kjv","1","31","38","This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten."
"kjv","1","31","39","That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night."
"kjv","1","31","40","Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes."
"kjv","1","31","41","Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times."
"kjv","1","31","42","Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight."
"kjv","1","31","43","And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?"
"kjv","1","31","44","Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee."
"kjv","1","31","45","And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar."
"kjv","1","31","46","And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap."
"kjv","1","31","47","And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed."
"kjv","1","31","48","And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;"
"kjv","1","31","49","And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another."
"kjv","1","31","50","If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee."
"kjv","1","31","51","And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;"
"kjv","1","31","52","This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm."
"kjv","1","31","53","The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac."
"kjv","1","31","54","Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount."
"kjv","1","31","55","And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place."
"kjv","1","32","1","And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him."
"kjv","1","32","2","And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim."
"kjv","1","32","3","And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom."
"kjv","1","32","4","And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:"
"kjv","1","32","5","And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight."
"kjv","1","32","6","And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him."
"kjv","1","32","7","Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;"
"kjv","1","32","8","And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape."
"kjv","1","32","9","And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:"
"kjv","1","32","10","I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands."
"kjv","1","32","11","Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children."
"kjv","1","32","12","And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude."
"kjv","1","32","13","And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;"
"kjv","1","32","14","Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,"
"kjv","1","32","15","Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals."
"kjv","1","32","16","And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove."
"kjv","1","32","17","And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?"
"kjv","1","32","18","Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us."
"kjv","1","32","19","And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him."
"kjv","1","32","20","And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me."
"kjv","1","32","21","So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company."
"kjv","1","32","22","And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok."
"kjv","1","32","23","And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had."
"kjv","1","32","24","And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day."
"kjv","1","32","25","And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him."
"kjv","1","32","26","And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me."
"kjv","1","32","27","And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob."
"kjv","1","32","28","And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed."
"kjv","1","32","29","And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there."
"kjv","1","32","30","And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
"kjv","1","32","31","And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh."
"kjv","1","32","32","Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank."
"kjv","1","33","1","And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids."
"kjv","1","33","2","And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost."
"kjv","1","33","3","And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother."
"kjv","1","33","4","And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept."
"kjv","1","33","5","And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant."
"kjv","1","33","6","Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves."
"kjv","1","33","7","And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves."
"kjv","1","33","8","And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord."
"kjv","1","33","9","And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself."
"kjv","1","33","10","And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me."
"kjv","1","33","11","Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it."
"kjv","1","33","12","And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee."
"kjv","1","33","13","And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die."
"kjv","1","33","14","Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir."
"kjv","1","33","15","And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord."
"kjv","1","33","16","So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir."
"kjv","1","33","17","And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth."
"kjv","1","33","18","And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city."
"kjv","1","33","19","And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money."
"kjv","1","33","20","And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel."
"kjv","1","34","1","And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land."
"kjv","1","34","2","And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her."
"kjv","1","34","3","And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel."
"kjv","1","34","4","And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife."
"kjv","1","34","5","And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come."
"kjv","1","34","6","And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him."
"kjv","1","34","7","And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done."
"kjv","1","34","8","And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife."
"kjv","1","34","9","And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you."
"kjv","1","34","10","And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein."
"kjv","1","34","11","And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give."
"kjv","1","34","12","Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife."
"kjv","1","34","13","And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:"
"kjv","1","34","14","And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:"
"kjv","1","34","15","But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;"
"kjv","1","34","16","Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people."
"kjv","1","34","17","But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone."
"kjv","1","34","18","And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son."
"kjv","1","34","19","And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father."
"kjv","1","34","20","And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,"
"kjv","1","34","21","These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters."
"kjv","1","34","22","Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised."
"kjv","1","34","23","Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us."
"kjv","1","34","24","And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city."
"kjv","1","34","25","And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males."
"kjv","1","34","26","And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out."
"kjv","1","34","27","The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister."
"kjv","1","34","28","They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,"
"kjv","1","34","29","And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house."
"kjv","1","34","30","And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house."
"kjv","1","34","31","And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?"
"kjv","1","35","1","And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother."
"kjv","1","35","2","Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:"
"kjv","1","35","3","And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."
"kjv","1","35","4","And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem."
"kjv","1","35","5","And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob."
"kjv","1","35","6","So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him."
"kjv","1","35","7","And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother."
"kjv","1","35","8","But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth."
"kjv","1","35","9","And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him."
"kjv","1","35","10","And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel."
"kjv","1","35","11","And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;"
"kjv","1","35","12","And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land."
"kjv","1","35","13","And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him."
"kjv","1","35","14","And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon."
"kjv","1","35","15","And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel."
"kjv","1","35","16","And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour."
"kjv","1","35","17","And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also."
"kjv","1","35","18","And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin."
"kjv","1","35","19","And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem."
"kjv","1","35","20","And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day."
"kjv","1","35","21","And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar."
"kjv","1","35","22","And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:"
"kjv","1","35","23","The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:"
"kjv","1","35","24","The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:"
"kjv","1","35","25","And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:"
"kjv","1","35","26","And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram."
"kjv","1","35","27","And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned."
"kjv","1","35","28","And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years."
"kjv","1","35","29","And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him."
"kjv","1","36","1","Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom."
"kjv","1","36","2","Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;"
"kjv","1","36","3","And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth."
"kjv","1","36","4","And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;"
"kjv","1","36","5","And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","1","36","6","And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob."
"kjv","1","36","7","For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle."
"kjv","1","36","8","Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom."
"kjv","1","36","9","And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:"
"kjv","1","36","10","These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau."
"kjv","1","36","11","And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz."
"kjv","1","36","12","And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife."
"kjv","1","36","13","And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife."
"kjv","1","36","14","And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah."
"kjv","1","36","15","These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,"
"kjv","1","36","16","Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah."
"kjv","1","36","17","And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife."
"kjv","1","36","18","And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife."
"kjv","1","36","19","These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes."
"kjv","1","36","20","These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,"
"kjv","1","36","21","And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom."
"kjv","1","36","22","And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna."
"kjv","1","36","23","And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam."
"kjv","1","36","24","And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father."
"kjv","1","36","25","And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah."
"kjv","1","36","26","And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran."
"kjv","1","36","27","The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan."
"kjv","1","36","28","The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran."
"kjv","1","36","29","These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,"
"kjv","1","36","30","Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir."
"kjv","1","36","31","And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel."
"kjv","1","36","32","And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah."
"kjv","1","36","33","And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead."
"kjv","1","36","34","And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead."
"kjv","1","36","35","And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith."
"kjv","1","36","36","And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead."
"kjv","1","36","37","And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead."
"kjv","1","36","38","And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead."
"kjv","1","36","39","And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab."
"kjv","1","36","40","And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,"
"kjv","1","36","41","Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,"
"kjv","1","36","42","Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,"
"kjv","1","36","43","Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites."
"kjv","1","37","1","And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","1","37","2","These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report."
"kjv","1","37","3","Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours."
"kjv","1","37","4","And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him."
"kjv","1","37","5","And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more."
"kjv","1","37","6","And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:"
"kjv","1","37","7","For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf."
"kjv","1","37","8","And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words."
"kjv","1","37","9","And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
"kjv","1","37","10","And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?"
"kjv","1","37","11","And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying."
"kjv","1","37","12","And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem."
"kjv","1","37","13","And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I."
"kjv","1","37","14","And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem."
"kjv","1","37","15","And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?"
"kjv","1","37","16","And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks."
"kjv","1","37","17","And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan."
"kjv","1","37","18","And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him."
"kjv","1","37","19","And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh."
"kjv","1","37","20","Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams."
"kjv","1","37","21","And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him."
"kjv","1","37","22","And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again."
"kjv","1","37","23","And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;"
"kjv","1","37","24","And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it."
"kjv","1","37","25","And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt."
"kjv","1","37","26","And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?"
"kjv","1","37","27","Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content."
"kjv","1","37","28","Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt."
"kjv","1","37","29","And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes."
"kjv","1","37","30","And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?"
"kjv","1","37","31","And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;"
"kjv","1","37","32","And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no."
"kjv","1","37","33","And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces."
"kjv","1","37","34","And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days."
"kjv","1","37","35","And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him."
"kjv","1","37","36","And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard."
"kjv","1","38","1","And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah."
"kjv","1","38","2","And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her."
"kjv","1","38","3","And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er."
"kjv","1","38","4","And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan."
"kjv","1","38","5","And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him."
"kjv","1","38","6","And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar."
"kjv","1","38","7","And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him."
"kjv","1","38","8","And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother."
"kjv","1","38","9","And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother."
"kjv","1","38","10","And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also."
"kjv","1","38","11","Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house."
"kjv","1","38","12","And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite."
"kjv","1","38","13","And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep."
"kjv","1","38","14","And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife."
"kjv","1","38","15","When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face."
"kjv","1","38","16","And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?"
"kjv","1","38","17","And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?"
"kjv","1","38","18","And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him."
"kjv","1","38","19","And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood."
"kjv","1","38","20","And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not."
"kjv","1","38","21","Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place."
"kjv","1","38","22","And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place."
"kjv","1","38","23","And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her."
"kjv","1","38","24","And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."
"kjv","1","38","25","When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff."
"kjv","1","38","26","And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more."
"kjv","1","38","27","And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb."
"kjv","1","38","28","And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first."
"kjv","1","38","29","And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez."
"kjv","1","38","30","And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah."
"kjv","1","39","1","And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither."
"kjv","1","39","2","And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian."
"kjv","1","39","3","And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand."
"kjv","1","39","4","And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand."
"kjv","1","39","5","And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field."
"kjv","1","39","6","And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured."
"kjv","1","39","7","And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me."
"kjv","1","39","8","But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;"
"kjv","1","39","9","There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
"kjv","1","39","10","And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her."
"kjv","1","39","11","And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within."
"kjv","1","39","12","And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out."
"kjv","1","39","13","And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,"
"kjv","1","39","14","That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:"
"kjv","1","39","15","And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out."
"kjv","1","39","16","And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home."
"kjv","1","39","17","And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:"
"kjv","1","39","18","And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out."
"kjv","1","39","19","And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled."
"kjv","1","39","20","And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison."
"kjv","1","39","21","But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison."
"kjv","1","39","22","And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it."
"kjv","1","39","23","The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper."
"kjv","1","40","1","And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt."
"kjv","1","40","2","And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers."
"kjv","1","40","3","And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound."
"kjv","1","40","4","And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward."
"kjv","1","40","5","And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison."
"kjv","1","40","6","And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad."
"kjv","1","40","7","And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?"
"kjv","1","40","8","And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you."
"kjv","1","40","9","And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;"
"kjv","1","40","10","And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:"
"kjv","1","40","11","And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
"kjv","1","40","12","And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:"
"kjv","1","40","13","Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler."
"kjv","1","40","14","But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:"
"kjv","1","40","15","For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."
"kjv","1","40","16","When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:"
"kjv","1","40","17","And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head."
"kjv","1","40","18","And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:"
"kjv","1","40","19","Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee."
"kjv","1","40","20","And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants."
"kjv","1","40","21","And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:"
"kjv","1","40","22","But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them."
"kjv","1","40","23","Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him."
"kjv","1","41","1","And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river."
"kjv","1","41","2","And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow."
"kjv","1","41","3","And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river."
"kjv","1","41","4","And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke."
"kjv","1","41","5","And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good."
"kjv","1","41","6","And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them."
"kjv","1","41","7","And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream."
"kjv","1","41","8","And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","41","9","Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:"
"kjv","1","41","10","Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:"
"kjv","1","41","11","And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream."
"kjv","1","41","12","And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret."
"kjv","1","41","13","And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged."
"kjv","1","41","14","Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","41","15","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it."
"kjv","1","41","16","And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace."
"kjv","1","41","17","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:"
"kjv","1","41","18","And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:"
"kjv","1","41","19","And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:"
"kjv","1","41","20","And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:"
"kjv","1","41","21","And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke."
"kjv","1","41","22","And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:"
"kjv","1","41","23","And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:"
"kjv","1","41","24","And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me."
"kjv","1","41","25","And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do."
"kjv","1","41","26","The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one."
"kjv","1","41","27","And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine."
"kjv","1","41","28","This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","41","29","Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:"
"kjv","1","41","30","And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;"
"kjv","1","41","31","And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous."
"kjv","1","41","32","And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass."
"kjv","1","41","33","Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","34","Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years."
"kjv","1","41","35","And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities."
"kjv","1","41","36","And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine."
"kjv","1","41","37","And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants."
"kjv","1","41","38","And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?"
"kjv","1","41","39","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:"
"kjv","1","41","40","Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou."
"kjv","1","41","41","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","42","And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;"
"kjv","1","41","43","And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","44","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","45","And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","46","And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","47","And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls."
"kjv","1","41","48","And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same."
"kjv","1","41","49","And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number."
"kjv","1","41","50","And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him."
"kjv","1","41","51","And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."
"kjv","1","41","52","And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."
"kjv","1","41","53","And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended."
"kjv","1","41","54","And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread."
"kjv","1","41","55","And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do."
"kjv","1","41","56","And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","41","57","And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands."
"kjv","1","42","1","Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?"
"kjv","1","42","2","And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die."
"kjv","1","42","3","And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt."
"kjv","1","42","4","But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him."
"kjv","1","42","5","And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","1","42","6","And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth."
"kjv","1","42","7","And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food."
"kjv","1","42","8","And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him."
"kjv","1","42","9","And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come."
"kjv","1","42","10","And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come."
"kjv","1","42","11","We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies."
"kjv","1","42","12","And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come."
"kjv","1","42","13","And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not."
"kjv","1","42","14","And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:"
"kjv","1","42","15","Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither."
"kjv","1","42","16","Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies."
"kjv","1","42","17","And he put them all together into ward three days."
"kjv","1","42","18","And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:"
"kjv","1","42","19","If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:"
"kjv","1","42","20","But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so."
"kjv","1","42","21","And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us."
"kjv","1","42","22","And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required."
"kjv","1","42","23","And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter."
"kjv","1","42","24","And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes."
"kjv","1","42","25","Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them."
"kjv","1","42","26","And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence."
"kjv","1","42","27","And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth."
"kjv","1","42","28","And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?"
"kjv","1","42","29","And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,"
"kjv","1","42","30","The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country."
"kjv","1","42","31","And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:"
"kjv","1","42","32","We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","1","42","33","And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:"
"kjv","1","42","34","And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land."
"kjv","1","42","35","And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid."
"kjv","1","42","36","And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me."
"kjv","1","42","37","And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again."
"kjv","1","42","38","And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave."
"kjv","1","43","1","And the famine was sore in the land."
"kjv","1","43","2","And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food."
"kjv","1","43","3","And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you."
"kjv","1","43","4","If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:"
"kjv","1","43","5","But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you."
"kjv","1","43","6","And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?"
"kjv","1","43","7","And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?"
"kjv","1","43","8","And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones."
"kjv","1","43","9","I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:"
"kjv","1","43","10","For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time."
"kjv","1","43","11","And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:"
"kjv","1","43","12","And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:"
"kjv","1","43","13","Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:"
"kjv","1","43","14","And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."
"kjv","1","43","15","And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph."
"kjv","1","43","16","And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon."
"kjv","1","43","17","And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house."
"kjv","1","43","18","And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses."
"kjv","1","43","19","And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,"
"kjv","1","43","20","And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:"
"kjv","1","43","21","And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand."
"kjv","1","43","22","And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks."
"kjv","1","43","23","And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them."
"kjv","1","43","24","And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender."
"kjv","1","43","25","And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there."
"kjv","1","43","26","And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth."
"kjv","1","43","27","And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?"
"kjv","1","43","28","And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance."
"kjv","1","43","29","And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son."
"kjv","1","43","30","And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there."
"kjv","1","43","31","And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread."
"kjv","1","43","32","And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians."
"kjv","1","43","33","And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another."
"kjv","1","43","34","And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him."
"kjv","1","44","1","And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth."
"kjv","1","44","2","And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken."
"kjv","1","44","3","As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses."
"kjv","1","44","4","And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?"
"kjv","1","44","5","Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing."
"kjv","1","44","6","And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words."
"kjv","1","44","7","And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:"
"kjv","1","44","8","Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?"
"kjv","1","44","9","With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen."
"kjv","1","44","10","And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless."
"kjv","1","44","11","Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack."
"kjv","1","44","12","And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack."
"kjv","1","44","13","Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city."
"kjv","1","44","14","And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground."
"kjv","1","44","15","And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?"
"kjv","1","44","16","And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found."
"kjv","1","44","17","And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father."
"kjv","1","44","18","Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","44","19","My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?"
"kjv","1","44","20","And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him."
"kjv","1","44","21","And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him."
"kjv","1","44","22","And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die."
"kjv","1","44","23","And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more."
"kjv","1","44","24","And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord."
"kjv","1","44","25","And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food."
"kjv","1","44","26","And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us."
"kjv","1","44","27","And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:"
"kjv","1","44","28","And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:"
"kjv","1","44","29","And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave."
"kjv","1","44","30","Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;"
"kjv","1","44","31","It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave."
"kjv","1","44","32","For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever."
"kjv","1","44","33","Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren."
"kjv","1","44","34","For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father."
"kjv","1","45","1","Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren."
"kjv","1","45","2","And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard."
"kjv","1","45","3","And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence."
"kjv","1","45","4","And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt."
"kjv","1","45","5","Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."
"kjv","1","45","6","For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest."
"kjv","1","45","7","And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance."
"kjv","1","45","8","So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","1","45","9","Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:"
"kjv","1","45","10","And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:"
"kjv","1","45","11","And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty."
"kjv","1","45","12","And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you."
"kjv","1","45","13","And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither."
"kjv","1","45","14","And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck."
"kjv","1","45","15","Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him."
"kjv","1","45","16","And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants."
"kjv","1","45","17","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;"
"kjv","1","45","18","And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land."
"kjv","1","45","19","Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come."
"kjv","1","45","20","Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours."
"kjv","1","45","21","And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way."
"kjv","1","45","22","To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment."
"kjv","1","45","23","And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way."
"kjv","1","45","24","So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way."
"kjv","1","45","25","And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,"
"kjv","1","45","26","And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not."
"kjv","1","45","27","And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:"
"kjv","1","45","28","And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die."
"kjv","1","46","1","And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac."
"kjv","1","46","2","And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I."
"kjv","1","46","3","And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:"
"kjv","1","46","4","I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes."
"kjv","1","46","5","And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him."
"kjv","1","46","6","And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:"
"kjv","1","46","7","His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt."
"kjv","1","46","8","And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn."
"kjv","1","46","9","And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi."
"kjv","1","46","10","And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman."
"kjv","1","46","11","And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari."
"kjv","1","46","12","And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul."
"kjv","1","46","13","And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron."
"kjv","1","46","14","And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel."
"kjv","1","46","15","These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three."
"kjv","1","46","16","And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli."
"kjv","1","46","17","And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel."
"kjv","1","46","18","These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls."
"kjv","1","46","19","The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin."
"kjv","1","46","20","And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him."
"kjv","1","46","21","And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard."
"kjv","1","46","22","These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen."
"kjv","1","46","23","And the sons of Dan; Hushim."
"kjv","1","46","24","And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem."
"kjv","1","46","25","These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven."
"kjv","1","46","26","All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;"
"kjv","1","46","27","And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten."
"kjv","1","46","28","And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen."
"kjv","1","46","29","And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while."
"kjv","1","46","30","And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive."
"kjv","1","46","31","And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;"
"kjv","1","46","32","And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have."
"kjv","1","46","33","And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?"
"kjv","1","46","34","That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians."
"kjv","1","47","1","Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen."
"kjv","1","47","2","And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","47","3","And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers."
"kjv","1","47","4","They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen."
"kjv","1","47","5","And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:"
"kjv","1","47","6","The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle."
"kjv","1","47","7","And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","47","8","And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?"
"kjv","1","47","9","And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."
"kjv","1","47","10","And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh."
"kjv","1","47","11","And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded."
"kjv","1","47","12","And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families."
"kjv","1","47","13","And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine."
"kjv","1","47","14","And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house."
"kjv","1","47","15","And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth."
"kjv","1","47","16","And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail."
"kjv","1","47","17","And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year."
"kjv","1","47","18","When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:"
"kjv","1","47","19","Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate."
"kjv","1","47","20","And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's."
"kjv","1","47","21","And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof."
"kjv","1","47","22","Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands."
"kjv","1","47","23","Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land."
"kjv","1","47","24","And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones."
"kjv","1","47","25","And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants."
"kjv","1","47","26","And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's."
"kjv","1","47","27","And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly."
"kjv","1","47","28","And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years."
"kjv","1","47","29","And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:"
"kjv","1","47","30","But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said."
"kjv","1","47","31","And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head."
"kjv","1","48","1","And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim."
"kjv","1","48","2","And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed."
"kjv","1","48","3","And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,"
"kjv","1","48","4","And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession."
"kjv","1","48","5","And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine."
"kjv","1","48","6","And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance."
"kjv","1","48","7","And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem."
"kjv","1","48","8","And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?"
"kjv","1","48","9","And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them."
"kjv","1","48","10","Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them."
"kjv","1","48","11","And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed."
"kjv","1","48","12","And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth."
"kjv","1","48","13","And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him."
"kjv","1","48","14","And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn."
"kjv","1","48","15","And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,"
"kjv","1","48","16","The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
"kjv","1","48","17","And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head."
"kjv","1","48","18","And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head."
"kjv","1","48","19","And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations."
"kjv","1","48","20","And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh."
"kjv","1","48","21","And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers."
"kjv","1","48","22","Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow."
"kjv","1","49","1","And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days."
"kjv","1","49","2","Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father."
"kjv","1","49","3","Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:"
"kjv","1","49","4","Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch."
"kjv","1","49","5","Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations."
"kjv","1","49","6","O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall."
"kjv","1","49","7","Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel."
"kjv","1","49","8","Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee."
"kjv","1","49","9","Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?"
"kjv","1","49","10","The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be."
"kjv","1","49","11","Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:"
"kjv","1","49","12","His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk."
"kjv","1","49","13","Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon."
"kjv","1","49","14","Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:"
"kjv","1","49","15","And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute."
"kjv","1","49","16","Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","1","49","17","Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward."
"kjv","1","49","18","I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD."
"kjv","1","49","19","Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last."
"kjv","1","49","20","Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties."
"kjv","1","49","21","Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words."
"kjv","1","49","22","Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:"
"kjv","1","49","23","The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:"
"kjv","1","49","24","But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)"
"kjv","1","49","25","Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:"
"kjv","1","49","26","The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."
"kjv","1","49","27","Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil."
"kjv","1","49","28","All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them."
"kjv","1","49","29","And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,"
"kjv","1","49","30","In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace."
"kjv","1","49","31","There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah."
"kjv","1","49","32","The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth."
"kjv","1","49","33","And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people."
"kjv","1","50","1","And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him."
"kjv","1","50","2","And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel."
"kjv","1","50","3","And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days."
"kjv","1","50","4","And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,"
"kjv","1","50","5","My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again."
"kjv","1","50","6","And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear."
"kjv","1","50","7","And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,"
"kjv","1","50","8","And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen."
"kjv","1","50","9","And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company."
"kjv","1","50","10","And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days."
"kjv","1","50","11","And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan."
"kjv","1","50","12","And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:"
"kjv","1","50","13","For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre."
"kjv","1","50","14","And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father."
"kjv","1","50","15","And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him."
"kjv","1","50","16","And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,"
"kjv","1","50","17","So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him."
"kjv","1","50","18","And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants."
"kjv","1","50","19","And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?"
"kjv","1","50","20","But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."
"kjv","1","50","21","Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them."
"kjv","1","50","22","And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years."
"kjv","1","50","23","And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees."
"kjv","1","50","24","And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
"kjv","1","50","25","And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence."
"kjv","1","50","26","So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt."
"kjv","2","1","1","Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob."
"kjv","2","1","2","Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,"
"kjv","2","1","3","Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,"
"kjv","2","1","4","Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher."
"kjv","2","1","5","And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already."
"kjv","2","1","6","And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation."
"kjv","2","1","7","And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them."
"kjv","2","1","8","Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph."
"kjv","2","1","9","And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:"
"kjv","2","1","10","Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land."
"kjv","2","1","11","Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses."
"kjv","2","1","12","But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel."
"kjv","2","1","13","And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:"
"kjv","2","1","14","And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour."
"kjv","2","1","15","And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:"
"kjv","2","1","16","And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live."
"kjv","2","1","17","But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive."
"kjv","2","1","18","And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?"
"kjv","2","1","19","And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them."
"kjv","2","1","20","Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty."
"kjv","2","1","21","And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses."
"kjv","2","1","22","And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive."
"kjv","2","2","1","And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi."
"kjv","2","2","2","And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months."
"kjv","2","2","3","And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink."
"kjv","2","2","4","And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him."
"kjv","2","2","5","And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it."
"kjv","2","2","6","And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children."
"kjv","2","2","7","Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?"
"kjv","2","2","8","And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother."
"kjv","2","2","9","And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it."
"kjv","2","2","10","And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water."
"kjv","2","2","11","And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren."
"kjv","2","2","12","And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand."
"kjv","2","2","13","And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?"
"kjv","2","2","14","And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known."
"kjv","2","2","15","Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well."
"kjv","2","2","16","Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock."
"kjv","2","2","17","And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock."
"kjv","2","2","18","And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?"
"kjv","2","2","19","And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock."
"kjv","2","2","20","And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread."
"kjv","2","2","21","And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter."
"kjv","2","2","22","And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land."
"kjv","2","2","23","And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage."
"kjv","2","2","24","And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob."
"kjv","2","2","25","And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them."
"kjv","2","3","1","Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb."
"kjv","2","3","2","And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed."
"kjv","2","3","3","And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
"kjv","2","3","4","And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I."
"kjv","2","3","5","And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."
"kjv","2","3","6","Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God."
"kjv","2","3","7","And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;"
"kjv","2","3","8","And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites."
"kjv","2","3","9","Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them."
"kjv","2","3","10","Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."
"kjv","2","3","11","And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
"kjv","2","3","12","And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."
"kjv","2","3","13","And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?"
"kjv","2","3","14","And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
"kjv","2","3","15","And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."
"kjv","2","3","16","Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:"
"kjv","2","3","17","And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey."
"kjv","2","3","18","And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God."
"kjv","2","3","19","And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand."
"kjv","2","3","20","And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go."
"kjv","2","3","21","And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:"
"kjv","2","3","22","But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","4","1","And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee."
"kjv","2","4","2","And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod."
"kjv","2","4","3","And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it."
"kjv","2","4","4","And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:"
"kjv","2","4","5","That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee."
"kjv","2","4","6","And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow."
"kjv","2","4","7","And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh."
"kjv","2","4","8","And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign."
"kjv","2","4","9","And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land."
"kjv","2","4","10","And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."
"kjv","2","4","11","And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?"
"kjv","2","4","12","Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say."
"kjv","2","4","13","And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send."
"kjv","2","4","14","And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart."
"kjv","2","4","15","And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do."
"kjv","2","4","16","And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God."
"kjv","2","4","17","And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs."
"kjv","2","4","18","And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace."
"kjv","2","4","19","And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life."
"kjv","2","4","20","And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand."
"kjv","2","4","21","And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go."
"kjv","2","4","22","And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:"
"kjv","2","4","23","And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn."
"kjv","2","4","24","And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him."
"kjv","2","4","25","Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me."
"kjv","2","4","26","So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision."
"kjv","2","4","27","And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him."
"kjv","2","4","28","And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him."
"kjv","2","4","29","And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:"
"kjv","2","4","30","And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people."
"kjv","2","4","31","And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped."
"kjv","2","5","1","And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness."
"kjv","2","5","2","And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go."
"kjv","2","5","3","And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword."
"kjv","2","5","4","And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens."
"kjv","2","5","5","And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens."
"kjv","2","5","6","And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,"
"kjv","2","5","7","Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves."
"kjv","2","5","8","And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God."
"kjv","2","5","9","Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words."
"kjv","2","5","10","And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw."
"kjv","2","5","11","Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished."
"kjv","2","5","12","So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw."
"kjv","2","5","13","And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw."
"kjv","2","5","14","And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?"
"kjv","2","5","15","Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?"
"kjv","2","5","16","There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people."
"kjv","2","5","17","But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD."
"kjv","2","5","18","Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks."
"kjv","2","5","19","And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task."
"kjv","2","5","20","And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:"
"kjv","2","5","21","And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us."
"kjv","2","5","22","And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?"
"kjv","2","5","23","For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all."
"kjv","2","6","1","Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land."
"kjv","2","6","2","And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:"
"kjv","2","6","3","And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them."
"kjv","2","6","4","And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers."
"kjv","2","6","5","And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant."
"kjv","2","6","6","Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:"
"kjv","2","6","7","And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","6","8","And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD."
"kjv","2","6","9","And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage."
"kjv","2","6","10","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","2","6","11","Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
"kjv","2","6","12","And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"
"kjv","2","6","13","And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","6","14","These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben."
"kjv","2","6","15","And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon."
"kjv","2","6","16","And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years."
"kjv","2","6","17","The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families."
"kjv","2","6","18","And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years."
"kjv","2","6","19","And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations."
"kjv","2","6","20","And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years."
"kjv","2","6","21","And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri."
"kjv","2","6","22","And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri."
"kjv","2","6","23","And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar."
"kjv","2","6","24","And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites."
"kjv","2","6","25","And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families."
"kjv","2","6","26","These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies."
"kjv","2","6","27","These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron."
"kjv","2","6","28","And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,"
"kjv","2","6","29","That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee."
"kjv","2","6","30","And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?"
"kjv","2","7","1","And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet."
"kjv","2","7","2","Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land."
"kjv","2","7","3","And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","7","4","But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments."
"kjv","2","7","5","And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
"kjv","2","7","6","And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they."
"kjv","2","7","7","And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh."
"kjv","2","7","8","And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"kjv","2","7","9","When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent."
"kjv","2","7","10","And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent."
"kjv","2","7","11","Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments."
"kjv","2","7","12","For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods."
"kjv","2","7","13","And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said."
"kjv","2","7","14","And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go."
"kjv","2","7","15","Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand."
"kjv","2","7","16","And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear."
"kjv","2","7","17","Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood."
"kjv","2","7","18","And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river."
"kjv","2","7","19","And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone."
"kjv","2","7","20","And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood."
"kjv","2","7","21","And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","7","22","And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said."
"kjv","2","7","23","And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also."
"kjv","2","7","24","And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river."
"kjv","2","7","25","And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river."
"kjv","2","8","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"kjv","2","8","2","And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:"
"kjv","2","8","3","And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:"
"kjv","2","8","4","And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants."
"kjv","2","8","5","And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","8","6","And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","8","7","And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","8","8","Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD."
"kjv","2","8","9","And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?"
"kjv","2","8","10","And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God."
"kjv","2","8","11","And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only."
"kjv","2","8","12","And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh."
"kjv","2","8","13","And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields."
"kjv","2","8","14","And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank."
"kjv","2","8","15","But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said."
"kjv","2","8","16","And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","8","17","And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","8","18","And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast."
"kjv","2","8","19","Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said."
"kjv","2","8","20","And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"kjv","2","8","21","Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are."
"kjv","2","8","22","And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth."
"kjv","2","8","23","And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be."
"kjv","2","8","24","And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies."
"kjv","2","8","25","And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land."
"kjv","2","8","26","And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?"
"kjv","2","8","27","We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us."
"kjv","2","8","28","And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me."
"kjv","2","8","29","And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."
"kjv","2","8","30","And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD."
"kjv","2","8","31","And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one."
"kjv","2","8","32","And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go."
"kjv","2","9","1","Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"kjv","2","9","2","For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,"
"kjv","2","9","3","Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain."
"kjv","2","9","4","And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel."
"kjv","2","9","5","And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land."
"kjv","2","9","6","And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one."
"kjv","2","9","7","And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go."
"kjv","2","9","8","And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh."
"kjv","2","9","9","And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","9","10","And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast."
"kjv","2","9","11","And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","9","12","And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses."
"kjv","2","9","13","And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"kjv","2","9","14","For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth."
"kjv","2","9","15","For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth."
"kjv","2","9","16","And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth."
"kjv","2","9","17","As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?"
"kjv","2","9","18","Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now."
"kjv","2","9","19","Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die."
"kjv","2","9","20","He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:"
"kjv","2","9","21","And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field."
"kjv","2","9","22","And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","9","23","And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","9","24","So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation."
"kjv","2","9","25","And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field."
"kjv","2","9","26","Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail."
"kjv","2","9","27","And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked."
"kjv","2","9","28","Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer."
"kjv","2","9","29","And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the Lord's."
"kjv","2","9","30","But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God."
"kjv","2","9","31","And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled."
"kjv","2","9","32","But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up."
"kjv","2","9","33","And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth."
"kjv","2","9","34","And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants."
"kjv","2","9","35","And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses."
"kjv","2","10","1","And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:"
"kjv","2","10","2","And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD."
"kjv","2","10","3","And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me."
"kjv","2","10","4","Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:"
"kjv","2","10","5","And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:"
"kjv","2","10","6","And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh."
"kjv","2","10","7","And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?"
"kjv","2","10","8","And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?"
"kjv","2","10","9","And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD."
"kjv","2","10","10","And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you."
"kjv","2","10","11","Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence."
"kjv","2","10","12","And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left."
"kjv","2","10","13","And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts."
"kjv","2","10","14","And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such."
"kjv","2","10","15","For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","10","16","Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you."
"kjv","2","10","17","Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only."
"kjv","2","10","18","And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD."
"kjv","2","10","19","And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt."
"kjv","2","10","20","But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go."
"kjv","2","10","21","And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."
"kjv","2","10","22","And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:"
"kjv","2","10","23","They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
"kjv","2","10","24","And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you."
"kjv","2","10","25","And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God."
"kjv","2","10","26","Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither."
"kjv","2","10","27","But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go."
"kjv","2","10","28","And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die."
"kjv","2","10","29","And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more."
"kjv","2","11","1","And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether."
"kjv","2","11","2","Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold."
"kjv","2","11","3","And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people."
"kjv","2","11","4","And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:"
"kjv","2","11","5","And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts."
"kjv","2","11","6","And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more."
"kjv","2","11","7","But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel."
"kjv","2","11","8","And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger."
"kjv","2","11","9","And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","11","10","And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land."
"kjv","2","12","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,"
"kjv","2","12","2","This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you."
"kjv","2","12","3","Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:"
"kjv","2","12","4","And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb."
"kjv","2","12","5","Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:"
"kjv","2","12","6","And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening."
"kjv","2","12","7","And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it."
"kjv","2","12","8","And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it."
"kjv","2","12","9","Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof."
"kjv","2","12","10","And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire."
"kjv","2","12","11","And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover."
"kjv","2","12","12","For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD."
"kjv","2","12","13","And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","12","14","And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever."
"kjv","2","12","15","Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel."
"kjv","2","12","16","And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you."
"kjv","2","12","17","And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever."
"kjv","2","12","18","In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even."
"kjv","2","12","19","Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land."
"kjv","2","12","20","Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread."
"kjv","2","12","21","Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover."
"kjv","2","12","22","And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning."
"kjv","2","12","23","For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."
"kjv","2","12","24","And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever."
"kjv","2","12","25","And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service."
"kjv","2","12","26","And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?"
"kjv","2","12","27","That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped."
"kjv","2","12","28","And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they."
"kjv","2","12","29","And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle."
"kjv","2","12","30","And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead."
"kjv","2","12","31","And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said."
"kjv","2","12","32","Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also."
"kjv","2","12","33","And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men."
"kjv","2","12","34","And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders."
"kjv","2","12","35","And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:"
"kjv","2","12","36","And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","12","37","And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children."
"kjv","2","12","38","And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle."
"kjv","2","12","39","And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual."
"kjv","2","12","40","Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years."
"kjv","2","12","41","And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","12","42","It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations."
"kjv","2","12","43","And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:"
"kjv","2","12","44","But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof."
"kjv","2","12","45","A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof."
"kjv","2","12","46","In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof."
"kjv","2","12","47","All the congregation of Israel shall keep it."
"kjv","2","12","48","And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof."
"kjv","2","12","49","One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you."
"kjv","2","12","50","Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they."
"kjv","2","12","51","And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies."
"kjv","2","13","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","2","13","2","Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine."
"kjv","2","13","3","And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten."
"kjv","2","13","4","This day came ye out in the month Abib."
"kjv","2","13","5","And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month."
"kjv","2","13","6","Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD."
"kjv","2","13","7","Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters."
"kjv","2","13","8","And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt."
"kjv","2","13","9","And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt."
"kjv","2","13","10","Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year."
"kjv","2","13","11","And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,"
"kjv","2","13","12","That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD'S."
"kjv","2","13","13","And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem."
"kjv","2","13","14","And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:"
"kjv","2","13","15","And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem."
"kjv","2","13","16","And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt."
"kjv","2","13","17","And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:"
"kjv","2","13","18","But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","13","19","And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you."
"kjv","2","13","20","And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness."
"kjv","2","13","21","And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:"
"kjv","2","13","22","He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people."
"kjv","2","14","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","2","14","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea."
"kjv","2","14","3","For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in."
"kjv","2","14","4","And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so."
"kjv","2","14","5","And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
"kjv","2","14","6","And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:"
"kjv","2","14","7","And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them."
"kjv","2","14","8","And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand."
"kjv","2","14","9","But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon."
"kjv","2","14","10","And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD."
"kjv","2","14","11","And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?"
"kjv","2","14","12","Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."
"kjv","2","14","13","And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever."
"kjv","2","14","14","The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."
"kjv","2","14","15","And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:"
"kjv","2","14","16","But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."
"kjv","2","14","17","And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen."
"kjv","2","14","18","And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen."
"kjv","2","14","19","And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:"
"kjv","2","14","20","And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night."
"kjv","2","14","21","And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided."
"kjv","2","14","22","And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."
"kjv","2","14","23","And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen."
"kjv","2","14","24","And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,"
"kjv","2","14","25","And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","14","26","And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen."
"kjv","2","14","27","And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea."
"kjv","2","14","28","And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them."
"kjv","2","14","29","But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."
"kjv","2","14","30","Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore."
"kjv","2","14","31","And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses."
"kjv","2","15","1","Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
"kjv","2","15","2","The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him."
"kjv","2","15","3","The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name."
"kjv","2","15","4","Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea."
"kjv","2","15","5","The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone."
"kjv","2","15","6","Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy."
"kjv","2","15","7","And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble."
"kjv","2","15","8","And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea."
"kjv","2","15","9","The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them."
"kjv","2","15","10","Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters."
"kjv","2","15","11","Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?"
"kjv","2","15","12","Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them."
"kjv","2","15","13","Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation."
"kjv","2","15","14","The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina."
"kjv","2","15","15","Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away."
"kjv","2","15","16","Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased."
"kjv","2","15","17","Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established."
"kjv","2","15","18","The LORD shall reign for ever and ever."
"kjv","2","15","19","For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea."
"kjv","2","15","20","And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances."
"kjv","2","15","21","And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
"kjv","2","15","22","So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water."
"kjv","2","15","23","And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah."
"kjv","2","15","24","And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?"
"kjv","2","15","25","And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,"
"kjv","2","15","26","And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee."
"kjv","2","15","27","And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters."
"kjv","2","16","1","And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","16","2","And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:"
"kjv","2","16","3","And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
"kjv","2","16","4","Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no."
"kjv","2","16","5","And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."
"kjv","2","16","6","And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:"
"kjv","2","16","7","And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?"
"kjv","2","16","8","And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD."
"kjv","2","16","9","And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings."
"kjv","2","16","10","And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud."
"kjv","2","16","11","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","2","16","12","I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","2","16","13","And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host."
"kjv","2","16","14","And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground."
"kjv","2","16","15","And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat."
"kjv","2","16","16","This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents."
"kjv","2","16","17","And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less."
"kjv","2","16","18","And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating."
"kjv","2","16","19","And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning."
"kjv","2","16","20","Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them."
"kjv","2","16","21","And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted."
"kjv","2","16","22","And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses."
"kjv","2","16","23","And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning."
"kjv","2","16","24","And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein."
"kjv","2","16","25","And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field."
"kjv","2","16","26","Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none."
"kjv","2","16","27","And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none."
"kjv","2","16","28","And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?"
"kjv","2","16","29","See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."
"kjv","2","16","30","So the people rested on the seventh day."
"kjv","2","16","31","And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey."
"kjv","2","16","32","And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","16","33","And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations."
"kjv","2","16","34","As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept."
"kjv","2","16","35","And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan."
"kjv","2","16","36","Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah."
"kjv","2","17","1","And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink."
"kjv","2","17","2","Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?"
"kjv","2","17","3","And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"
"kjv","2","17","4","And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me."
"kjv","2","17","5","And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go."
"kjv","2","17","6","Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel."
"kjv","2","17","7","And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?"
"kjv","2","17","8","Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim."
"kjv","2","17","9","And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand."
"kjv","2","17","10","So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill."
"kjv","2","17","11","And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed."
"kjv","2","17","12","But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
"kjv","2","17","13","And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","2","17","14","And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
"kjv","2","17","15","And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:"
"kjv","2","17","16","For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
"kjv","2","18","1","When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;"
"kjv","2","18","2","Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,"
"kjv","2","18","3","And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:"
"kjv","2","18","4","And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:"
"kjv","2","18","5","And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:"
"kjv","2","18","6","And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her."
"kjv","2","18","7","And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent."
"kjv","2","18","8","And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them."
"kjv","2","18","9","And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","18","10","And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians."
"kjv","2","18","11","Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them."
"kjv","2","18","12","And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God."
"kjv","2","18","13","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening."
"kjv","2","18","14","And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?"
"kjv","2","18","15","And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:"
"kjv","2","18","16","When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws."
"kjv","2","18","17","And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good."
"kjv","2","18","18","Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone."
"kjv","2","18","19","Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:"
"kjv","2","18","20","And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do."
"kjv","2","18","21","Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:"
"kjv","2","18","22","And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee."
"kjv","2","18","23","If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace."
"kjv","2","18","24","So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said."
"kjv","2","18","25","And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens."
"kjv","2","18","26","And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves."
"kjv","2","18","27","And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land."
"kjv","2","19","1","In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai."
"kjv","2","19","2","For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount."
"kjv","2","19","3","And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;"
"kjv","2","19","4","Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself."
"kjv","2","19","5","Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:"
"kjv","2","19","6","And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel."
"kjv","2","19","7","And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him."
"kjv","2","19","8","And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD."
"kjv","2","19","9","And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD."
"kjv","2","19","10","And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,"
"kjv","2","19","11","And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai."
"kjv","2","19","12","And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:"
"kjv","2","19","13","There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount."
"kjv","2","19","14","And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes."
"kjv","2","19","15","And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives."
"kjv","2","19","16","And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled."
"kjv","2","19","17","And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount."
"kjv","2","19","18","And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly."
"kjv","2","19","19","And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice."
"kjv","2","19","20","And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up."
"kjv","2","19","21","And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish."
"kjv","2","19","22","And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them."
"kjv","2","19","23","And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it."
"kjv","2","19","24","And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them."
"kjv","2","19","25","So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them."
"kjv","2","20","1","And God spake all these words, saying,"
"kjv","2","20","2","I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
"kjv","2","20","3","Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"kjv","2","20","4","Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
"kjv","2","20","5","Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"
"kjv","2","20","6","And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
"kjv","2","20","7","Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
"kjv","2","20","8","Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
"kjv","2","20","9","Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:"
"kjv","2","20","10","But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:"
"kjv","2","20","11","For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
"kjv","2","20","12","Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
"kjv","2","20","13","Thou shalt not kill."
"kjv","2","20","14","Thou shalt not commit adultery."
"kjv","2","20","15","Thou shalt not steal."
"kjv","2","20","16","Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."
"kjv","2","20","17","Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's."
"kjv","2","20","18","And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off."
"kjv","2","20","19","And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die."
"kjv","2","20","20","And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not."
"kjv","2","20","21","And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was."
"kjv","2","20","22","And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven."
"kjv","2","20","23","Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold."
"kjv","2","20","24","An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee."
"kjv","2","20","25","And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it."
"kjv","2","20","26","Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon."
"kjv","2","21","1","Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them."
"kjv","2","21","2","If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing."
"kjv","2","21","3","If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him."
"kjv","2","21","4","If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself."
"kjv","2","21","5","And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:"
"kjv","2","21","6","Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever."
"kjv","2","21","7","And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do."
"kjv","2","21","8","If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her."
"kjv","2","21","9","And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters."
"kjv","2","21","10","If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish."
"kjv","2","21","11","And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money."
"kjv","2","21","12","He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death."
"kjv","2","21","13","And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee."
"kjv","2","21","14","But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die."
"kjv","2","21","15","And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death."
"kjv","2","21","16","And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","2","21","17","And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","2","21","18","And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:"
"kjv","2","21","19","If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed."
"kjv","2","21","20","And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished."
"kjv","2","21","21","Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money."
"kjv","2","21","22","If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine."
"kjv","2","21","23","And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,"
"kjv","2","21","24","Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,"
"kjv","2","21","25","Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
"kjv","2","21","26","And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake."
"kjv","2","21","27","And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake."
"kjv","2","21","28","If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit."
"kjv","2","21","29","But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death."
"kjv","2","21","30","If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him."
"kjv","2","21","31","Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him."
"kjv","2","21","32","If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned."
"kjv","2","21","33","And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;"
"kjv","2","21","34","The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his."
"kjv","2","21","35","And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide."
"kjv","2","21","36","Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own."
"kjv","2","22","1","If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep."
"kjv","2","22","2","If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him."
"kjv","2","22","3","If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft."
"kjv","2","22","4","If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double."
"kjv","2","22","5","If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution."
"kjv","2","22","6","If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution."
"kjv","2","22","7","If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double."
"kjv","2","22","8","If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods."
"kjv","2","22","9","For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour."
"kjv","2","22","10","If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:"
"kjv","2","22","11","Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good."
"kjv","2","22","12","And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof."
"kjv","2","22","13","If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn."
"kjv","2","22","14","And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good."
"kjv","2","22","15","But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire."
"kjv","2","22","16","And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife."
"kjv","2","22","17","If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins."
"kjv","2","22","18","Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
"kjv","2","22","19","Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","2","22","20","He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed."
"kjv","2","22","21","Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","22","22","Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child."
"kjv","2","22","23","If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;"
"kjv","2","22","24","And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless."
"kjv","2","22","25","If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury."
"kjv","2","22","26","If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:"
"kjv","2","22","27","For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious."
"kjv","2","22","28","Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people."
"kjv","2","22","29","Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me."
"kjv","2","22","30","Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me."
"kjv","2","22","31","And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs."
"kjv","2","23","1","Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness."
"kjv","2","23","2","Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:"
"kjv","2","23","3","Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause."
"kjv","2","23","4","If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again."
"kjv","2","23","5","If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him."
"kjv","2","23","6","Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause."
"kjv","2","23","7","Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked."
"kjv","2","23","8","And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous."
"kjv","2","23","9","Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","2","23","10","And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:"
"kjv","2","23","11","But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard."
"kjv","2","23","12","Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed."

"kjv","2","24","11","And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink."
"kjv","2","24","12","And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them."

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

"kjv","2","38","4","And he made for the altar a brazen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it."
"kjv","2","38","5","And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves."
"kjv","2","38","6","And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass."
"kjv","2","38","7","And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards."
"kjv","2","38","8","And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","2","38","9","And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:"
"kjv","2","38","10","Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver."
"kjv","2","38","11","And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver."

"kjv","2","38","22","And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","2","38","23","And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen."
"kjv","2","38","24","All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary."
"kjv","2","38","25","And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:"
"kjv","2","38","26","A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men."
"kjv","2","38","27","And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket."

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

"kjv","3","14","19","And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:"
"kjv","3","14","20","And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean."
"kjv","3","14","21","And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;"

"kjv","3","16","4","He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on."
"kjv","3","16","5","And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering."
"kjv","3","16","6","And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house."
"kjv","3","16","7","And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","3","16","8","And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat."
"kjv","3","16","9","And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering."
"kjv","3","16","10","But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness."
"kjv","3","16","11","And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:"
"kjv","3","16","12","And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:"
"kjv","3","16","13","And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:"
"kjv","3","16","14","And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times."
"kjv","3","16","15","Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:"
"kjv","3","16","16","And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness."
"kjv","3","16","17","And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel."
"kjv","3","16","18","And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about."
"kjv","3","16","19","And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel."
"kjv","3","16","20","And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:"
"kjv","3","16","21","And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:"
"kjv","3","16","22","And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness."
"kjv","3","16","23","And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:"
"kjv","3","16","24","And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people."
"kjv","3","16","25","And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar."
"kjv","3","16","26","And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp."
"kjv","3","16","27","And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung."
"kjv","3","16","28","And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp."
"kjv","3","16","29","And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:"
"kjv","3","16","30","For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD."
"kjv","3","16","31","It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever."
"kjv","3","16","32","And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:"
"kjv","3","16","33","And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation."
"kjv","3","16","34","And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","3","17","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","17","2","Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,"
"kjv","3","17","3","What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,"
"kjv","3","17","4","And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:"
"kjv","3","17","5","To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","17","6","And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","17","7","And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations."
"kjv","3","17","8","And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,"
"kjv","3","17","9","And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people."
"kjv","3","17","10","And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people."
"kjv","3","17","11","For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."
"kjv","3","17","12","Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood."
"kjv","3","17","13","And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust."
"kjv","3","17","14","For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off."
"kjv","3","17","15","And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean."
"kjv","3","17","16","But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity."
"kjv","3","18","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","18","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","18","3","After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances."
"kjv","3","18","4","Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","18","5","Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","18","6","None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","18","7","The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness."
"kjv","3","18","8","The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness."
"kjv","3","18","9","The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover."
"kjv","3","18","10","The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness."
"kjv","3","18","11","The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness."
"kjv","3","18","12","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman."
"kjv","3","18","13","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister; for she is thy mother's near kinswoman."
"kjv","3","18","14","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt."
"kjv","3","18","15","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness."
"kjv","3","18","16","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness."
"kjv","3","18","17","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness."
"kjv","3","18","18","Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time."
"kjv","3","18","19","Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness."
"kjv","3","18","20","Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her."
"kjv","3","18","21","And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","18","22","Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
"kjv","3","18","23","Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion."
"kjv","3","18","24","Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:"
"kjv","3","18","25","And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants."
"kjv","3","18","26","Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:"
"kjv","3","18","27","(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)"
"kjv","3","18","28","That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you."
"kjv","3","18","29","For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people."
"kjv","3","18","30","Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","19","2","Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy."
"kjv","3","19","3","Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","4","Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","5","And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will."
"kjv","3","19","6","It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire."
"kjv","3","19","7","And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted."
"kjv","3","19","8","Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
"kjv","3","19","9","And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest."
"kjv","3","19","10","And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","11","Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another."
"kjv","3","19","12","And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","13","Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning."
"kjv","3","19","14","Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","15","Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour."
"kjv","3","19","16","Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","17","Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him."
"kjv","3","19","18","Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","19","Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee."
"kjv","3","19","20","And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free."
"kjv","3","19","21","And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering."
"kjv","3","19","22","And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him."
"kjv","3","19","23","And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of."
"kjv","3","19","24","But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal."
"kjv","3","19","25","And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","26","Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times."
"kjv","3","19","27","Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."
"kjv","3","19","28","Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","29","Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness."
"kjv","3","19","30","Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","31","Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","32","Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","19","33","And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him."
"kjv","3","19","34","But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","19","35","Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure."
"kjv","3","19","36","Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","3","19","37","Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","20","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","20","2","Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones."
"kjv","3","20","3","And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name."
"kjv","3","20","4","And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:"
"kjv","3","20","5","Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people."
"kjv","3","20","6","And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people."
"kjv","3","20","7","Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","20","8","And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you."
"kjv","3","20","9","For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him."
"kjv","3","20","10","And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","3","20","11","And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
"kjv","3","20","12","And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them."
"kjv","3","20","13","If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
"kjv","3","20","14","And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you."
"kjv","3","20","15","And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast."
"kjv","3","20","16","And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
"kjv","3","20","17","And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity."
"kjv","3","20","18","And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people."
"kjv","3","20","19","And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity."
"kjv","3","20","20","And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless."
"kjv","3","20","21","And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless."
"kjv","3","20","22","Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out."
"kjv","3","20","23","And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them."
"kjv","3","20","24","But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people."
"kjv","3","20","25","Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean."
"kjv","3","20","26","And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine."
"kjv","3","20","27","A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them."
"kjv","3","21","1","And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:"
"kjv","3","21","2","But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,"
"kjv","3","21","3","And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled."
"kjv","3","21","4","But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself."
"kjv","3","21","5","They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh."
"kjv","3","21","6","They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy."
"kjv","3","21","7","They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God."
"kjv","3","21","8","Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy."
"kjv","3","21","9","And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."
"kjv","3","21","10","And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;"
"kjv","3","21","11","Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;"
"kjv","3","21","12","Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","21","13","And he shall take a wife in her virginity."
"kjv","3","21","14","A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife."
"kjv","3","21","15","Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him."
"kjv","3","21","16","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","21","17","Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God."
"kjv","3","21","18","For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,"
"kjv","3","21","19","Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,"
"kjv","3","21","20","Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;"
"kjv","3","21","21","No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God."
"kjv","3","21","22","He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy."
"kjv","3","21","23","Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them."
"kjv","3","21","24","And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel."
"kjv","3","22","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","22","2","Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","3","Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","4","What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;"
"kjv","3","22","5","Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;"
"kjv","3","22","6","The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water."
"kjv","3","22","7","And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food."
"kjv","3","22","8","That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","9","They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them."
"kjv","3","22","10","There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing."
"kjv","3","22","11","But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat."
"kjv","3","22","12","If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things."
"kjv","3","22","13","But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof."
"kjv","3","22","14","And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing."
"kjv","3","22","15","And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;"
"kjv","3","22","16","Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them."
"kjv","3","22","17","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","22","18","Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;"
"kjv","3","22","19","Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats."
"kjv","3","22","20","But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you."
"kjv","3","22","21","And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein."
"kjv","3","22","22","Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","23","Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted."
"kjv","3","22","24","Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land."
"kjv","3","22","25","Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you."
"kjv","3","22","26","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","22","27","When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","28","And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day."
"kjv","3","22","29","And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will."
"kjv","3","22","30","On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","31","Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","22","32","Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,"
"kjv","3","22","33","That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","23","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts."
"kjv","3","23","3","Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings."
"kjv","3","23","4","These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons."
"kjv","3","23","5","In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover."
"kjv","3","23","6","And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread."
"kjv","3","23","7","In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
"kjv","3","23","8","But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
"kjv","3","23","9","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","23","10","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:"
"kjv","3","23","11","And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it."
"kjv","3","23","12","And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","13","And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin."
"kjv","3","23","14","And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings."
"kjv","3","23","15","And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:"
"kjv","3","23","16","Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","17","Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","18","And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","19","Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings."
"kjv","3","23","20","And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest."
"kjv","3","23","21","And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations."
"kjv","3","23","22","And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","23","23","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","23","24","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation."
"kjv","3","23","25","Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","26","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","23","27","Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","28","And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","23","29","For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people."
"kjv","3","23","30","And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people."
"kjv","3","23","31","Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings."
"kjv","3","23","32","It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath."
"kjv","3","23","33","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","23","34","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","35","On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein."
"kjv","3","23","36","Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein."
"kjv","3","23","37","These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:"
"kjv","3","23","38","Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","23","39","Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath."
"kjv","3","23","40","And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days."
"kjv","3","23","41","And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month."
"kjv","3","23","42","Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:"
"kjv","3","23","43","That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","23","44","And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD."
"kjv","3","24","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","24","2","Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually."
"kjv","3","24","3","Without the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations."
"kjv","3","24","4","He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually."
"kjv","3","24","5","And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake."
"kjv","3","24","6","And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD."
"kjv","3","24","7","And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","24","8","Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant."
"kjv","3","24","9","And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute."
"kjv","3","24","10","And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;"
"kjv","3","24","11","And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)"
"kjv","3","24","12","And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them."
"kjv","3","24","13","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","24","14","Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him."
"kjv","3","24","15","And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin."
"kjv","3","24","16","And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death."
"kjv","3","24","17","And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","3","24","18","And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast."
"kjv","3","24","19","And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;"
"kjv","3","24","20","Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again."
"kjv","3","24","21","And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death."
"kjv","3","24","22","Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","24","23","And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","3","25","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,"
"kjv","3","25","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","25","3","Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;"
"kjv","3","25","4","But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard."
"kjv","3","25","5","That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land."
"kjv","3","25","6","And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,"
"kjv","3","25","7","And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat."
"kjv","3","25","8","And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years."
"kjv","3","25","9","Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land."
"kjv","3","25","10","And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
"kjv","3","25","11","A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed."
"kjv","3","25","12","For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field."
"kjv","3","25","13","In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession."
"kjv","3","25","14","And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:"
"kjv","3","25","15","According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:"
"kjv","3","25","16","According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee."
"kjv","3","25","17","Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","25","18","Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety."
"kjv","3","25","19","And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety."
"kjv","3","25","20","And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:"
"kjv","3","25","21","Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years."
"kjv","3","25","22","And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store."
"kjv","3","25","23","The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me."
"kjv","3","25","24","And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land."
"kjv","3","25","25","If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold."
"kjv","3","25","26","And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;"
"kjv","3","25","27","Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession."
"kjv","3","25","28","But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession."
"kjv","3","25","29","And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it."
"kjv","3","25","30","And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee."
"kjv","3","25","31","But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee."
"kjv","3","25","32","Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time."
"kjv","3","25","33","And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel."
"kjv","3","25","34","But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession."
"kjv","3","25","35","And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee."
"kjv","3","25","36","Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee."
"kjv","3","25","37","Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase."
"kjv","3","25","38","I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God."
"kjv","3","25","39","And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:"
"kjv","3","25","40","But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee:"
"kjv","3","25","41","And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return."
"kjv","3","25","42","For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen."
"kjv","3","25","43","Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God."
"kjv","3","25","44","Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids."
"kjv","3","25","45","Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession."
"kjv","3","25","46","And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour."
"kjv","3","25","47","And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:"
"kjv","3","25","48","After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:"
"kjv","3","25","49","Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself."
"kjv","3","25","50","And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him."
"kjv","3","25","51","If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for."
"kjv","3","25","52","And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption."
"kjv","3","25","53","And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight."
"kjv","3","25","54","And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him."
"kjv","3","25","55","For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","26","1","Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","3","26","2","Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","26","3","If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;"
"kjv","3","26","4","Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit."
"kjv","3","26","5","And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely."
"kjv","3","26","6","And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land."
"kjv","3","26","7","And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword."
"kjv","3","26","8","And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword."
"kjv","3","26","9","For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you."
"kjv","3","26","10","And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new."
"kjv","3","26","11","And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you."
"kjv","3","26","12","And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people."
"kjv","3","26","13","I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright."
"kjv","3","26","14","But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;"
"kjv","3","26","15","And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:"
"kjv","3","26","16","I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it."
"kjv","3","26","17","And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you."
"kjv","3","26","18","And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins."
"kjv","3","26","19","And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:"
"kjv","3","26","20","And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits."
"kjv","3","26","21","And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins."
"kjv","3","26","22","I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate."
"kjv","3","26","23","And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;"
"kjv","3","26","24","Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins."
"kjv","3","26","25","And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy."
"kjv","3","26","26","And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied."
"kjv","3","26","27","And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;"
"kjv","3","26","28","Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins."
"kjv","3","26","29","And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat."
"kjv","3","26","30","And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you."
"kjv","3","26","31","And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours."
"kjv","3","26","32","And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it."
"kjv","3","26","33","And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste."
"kjv","3","26","34","Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths."
"kjv","3","26","35","As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it."
"kjv","3","26","36","And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth."
"kjv","3","26","37","And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies."
"kjv","3","26","38","And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up."
"kjv","3","26","39","And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them."
"kjv","3","26","40","If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;"
"kjv","3","26","41","And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:"
"kjv","3","26","42","Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land."
"kjv","3","26","43","The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes."
"kjv","3","26","44","And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God."
"kjv","3","26","45","But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD."
"kjv","3","26","46","These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","3","27","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","3","27","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation."
"kjv","3","27","3","And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary."
"kjv","3","27","4","And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels."
"kjv","3","27","5","And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels."
"kjv","3","27","6","And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver."
"kjv","3","27","7","And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels."
"kjv","3","27","8","But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him."
"kjv","3","27","9","And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy."
"kjv","3","27","10","He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy."
"kjv","3","27","11","And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:"
"kjv","3","27","12","And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be."
"kjv","3","27","13","But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation."
"kjv","3","27","14","And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand."
"kjv","3","27","15","And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his."
"kjv","3","27","16","And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver."
"kjv","3","27","17","If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand."
"kjv","3","27","18","But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy estimation."
"kjv","3","27","19","And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him."
"kjv","3","27","20","And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more."
"kjv","3","27","21","But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's."
"kjv","3","27","22","And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;"
"kjv","3","27","23","Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","27","24","In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong."
"kjv","3","27","25","And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel."
"kjv","3","27","26","Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD'S."
"kjv","3","27","27","And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation."
"kjv","3","27","28","Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","27","29","None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","3","27","30","And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S: it is holy unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","27","31","And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof."
"kjv","3","27","32","And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD."
"kjv","3","27","33","He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed."
"kjv","3","27","34","These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai."
"kjv","4","1","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,"
"kjv","4","1","2","Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;"
"kjv","4","1","3","From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies."
"kjv","4","1","4","And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers."

"kjv","4","1","18","And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls."
"kjv","4","1","19","As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai."
"kjv","4","1","20","And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;"

"kjv","4","2","33","But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","4","2","34","And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers."

"kjv","4","3","13","Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD."
"kjv","4","3","14","And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,"

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

"kjv","4","7","77","And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Pagiel the son of Ocran."
"kjv","4","7","78","On the twelfth day Ahira the son of Enan, prince of the children of Naphtali, offered:"
"kjv","4","7","79","His offering was one silver charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering:"
"kjv","4","7","80","One golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense:"
"kjv","4","7","81","One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year, for a burnt offering:"
"kjv","4","7","82","One kid of the goats for a sin offering:"
"kjv","4","7","83","And for a sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year: this was the offering of Ahira the son of Enan."
"kjv","4","7","84","This was the dedication of the altar, in the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel: twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold:"
"kjv","4","7","85","Each charger of silver weighing an hundred and thirty shekels, each bowl seventy: all the silver vessels weighed two thousand and four hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:"
"kjv","4","7","86","The golden spoons were twelve, full of incense, weighing ten shekels apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary: all the gold of the spoons was an hundred and twenty shekels."
"kjv","4","7","87","All the oxen for the burnt offering were twelve bullocks, the rams twelve, the lambs of the first year twelve, with their meat offering: and the kids of the goats for sin offering twelve."
"kjv","4","7","88","And all the oxen for the sacrifice of the peace offerings were twenty and four bullocks, the rams sixty, the he goats sixty, the lambs of the first year sixty. This was the dedication of the altar, after that it was anointed."
"kjv","4","7","89","And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him."
"kjv","4","8","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","8","2","Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick."
"kjv","4","8","3","And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","4","8","4","And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick."
"kjv","4","8","5","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","8","6","Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them."
"kjv","4","8","7","And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean."
"kjv","4","8","8","Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering."
"kjv","4","8","9","And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:"
"kjv","4","8","10","And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:"
"kjv","4","8","11","And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD."
"kjv","4","8","12","And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites."
"kjv","4","8","13","And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","8","14","Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine."
"kjv","4","8","15","And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering."
"kjv","4","8","16","For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me."
"kjv","4","8","17","For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself."
"kjv","4","8","18","And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","8","19","And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary."
"kjv","4","8","20","And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them."
"kjv","4","8","21","And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them."
"kjv","4","8","22","And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them."
"kjv","4","8","23","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","8","24","This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:"
"kjv","4","8","25","And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:"
"kjv","4","8","26","But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge."
"kjv","4","9","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,"
"kjv","4","9","2","Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season."
"kjv","4","9","3","In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it."
"kjv","4","9","4","And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover."
"kjv","4","9","5","And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","9","6","And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:"
"kjv","4","9","7","And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?"
"kjv","4","9","8","And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you."
"kjv","4","9","9","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","9","10","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","9","11","The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs."
"kjv","4","9","12","They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it."
"kjv","4","9","13","But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin."
"kjv","4","9","14","And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land."
"kjv","4","9","15","And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning."
"kjv","4","9","16","So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night."
"kjv","4","9","17","And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents."
"kjv","4","9","18","At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents."
"kjv","4","9","19","And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not."
"kjv","4","9","20","And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed."
"kjv","4","9","21","And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed."
"kjv","4","9","22","Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed."
"kjv","4","9","23","At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","4","10","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","10","2","Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps."
"kjv","4","10","3","And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","4","10","4","And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee."
"kjv","4","10","5","When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward."
"kjv","4","10","6","When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys."
"kjv","4","10","7","But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm."
"kjv","4","10","8","And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations."
"kjv","4","10","9","And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies."
"kjv","4","10","10","Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","4","10","11","And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony."
"kjv","4","10","12","And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran."
"kjv","4","10","13","And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","4","10","14","In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab."
"kjv","4","10","15","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar."
"kjv","4","10","16","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon."
"kjv","4","10","17","And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle."
"kjv","4","10","18","And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur."
"kjv","4","10","19","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai."
"kjv","4","10","20","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel."
"kjv","4","10","21","And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came."
"kjv","4","10","22","And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud."
"kjv","4","10","23","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur."
"kjv","4","10","24","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni."
"kjv","4","10","25","And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai."
"kjv","4","10","26","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran."
"kjv","4","10","27","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan."
"kjv","4","10","28","Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward."
"kjv","4","10","29","And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel."
"kjv","4","10","30","And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred."
"kjv","4","10","31","And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes."
"kjv","4","10","32","And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee."
"kjv","4","10","33","And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them."
"kjv","4","10","34","And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp."
"kjv","4","10","35","And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee."
"kjv","4","10","36","And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel."
"kjv","4","11","1","And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp."
"kjv","4","11","2","And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched."
"kjv","4","11","3","And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them."
"kjv","4","11","4","And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?"
"kjv","4","11","5","We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:"
"kjv","4","11","6","But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes."
"kjv","4","11","7","And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium."
"kjv","4","11","8","And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil."
"kjv","4","11","9","And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it."
"kjv","4","11","10","Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased."
"kjv","4","11","11","And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?"
"kjv","4","11","12","Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?"
"kjv","4","11","13","Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat."
"kjv","4","11","14","I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me."
"kjv","4","11","15","And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness."
"kjv","4","11","16","And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee."
"kjv","4","11","17","And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone."
"kjv","4","11","18","And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat."
"kjv","4","11","19","Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;"
"kjv","4","11","20","But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?"
"kjv","4","11","21","And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month."
"kjv","4","11","22","Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?"
"kjv","4","11","23","And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not."
"kjv","4","11","24","And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle."
"kjv","4","11","25","And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease."
"kjv","4","11","26","But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp."
"kjv","4","11","27","And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp."
"kjv","4","11","28","And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them."
"kjv","4","11","29","And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"
"kjv","4","11","30","And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel."
"kjv","4","11","31","And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth."
"kjv","4","11","32","And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp."
"kjv","4","11","33","And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague."
"kjv","4","11","34","And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted."
"kjv","4","11","35","And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth."
"kjv","4","12","1","And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman."
"kjv","4","12","2","And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it."
"kjv","4","12","3","(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)"
"kjv","4","12","4","And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out."
"kjv","4","12","5","And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth."
"kjv","4","12","6","And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream."
"kjv","4","12","7","My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house."
"kjv","4","12","8","With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"
"kjv","4","12","9","And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed."
"kjv","4","12","10","And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous."
"kjv","4","12","11","And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned."
"kjv","4","12","12","Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb."
"kjv","4","12","13","And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee."
"kjv","4","12","14","And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again."
"kjv","4","12","15","And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again."
"kjv","4","12","16","And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran."
"kjv","4","13","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","13","2","Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them."
"kjv","4","13","3","And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","13","4","And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur."
"kjv","4","13","5","Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori."
"kjv","4","13","6","Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh."
"kjv","4","13","7","Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph."
"kjv","4","13","8","Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun."
"kjv","4","13","9","Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu."
"kjv","4","13","10","Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi."
"kjv","4","13","11","Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi."
"kjv","4","13","12","Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli."
"kjv","4","13","13","Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael."
"kjv","4","13","14","Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi."
"kjv","4","13","15","Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi."
"kjv","4","13","16","These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua."
"kjv","4","13","17","And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:"
"kjv","4","13","18","And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;"
"kjv","4","13","19","And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;"
"kjv","4","13","20","And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes."
"kjv","4","13","21","So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath."
"kjv","4","13","22","And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)"
"kjv","4","13","23","And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs."
"kjv","4","13","24","The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence."
"kjv","4","13","25","And they returned from searching of the land after forty days."
"kjv","4","13","26","And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land."
"kjv","4","13","27","And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it."
"kjv","4","13","28","Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there."
"kjv","4","13","29","The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan."
"kjv","4","13","30","And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it."
"kjv","4","13","31","But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
"kjv","4","13","32","And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature."
"kjv","4","13","33","And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
"kjv","4","14","1","And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night."
"kjv","4","14","2","And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!"
"kjv","4","14","3","And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?"
"kjv","4","14","4","And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."
"kjv","4","14","5","Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","14","6","And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:"
"kjv","4","14","7","And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land."
"kjv","4","14","8","If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey."
"kjv","4","14","9","Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not."
"kjv","4","14","10","But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","14","11","And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?"
"kjv","4","14","12","I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they."
"kjv","4","14","13","And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)"
"kjv","4","14","14","And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night."
"kjv","4","14","15","Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,"
"kjv","4","14","16","Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness."
"kjv","4","14","17","And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,"
"kjv","4","14","18","The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation."
"kjv","4","14","19","Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
"kjv","4","14","20","And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:"
"kjv","4","14","21","But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD."
"kjv","4","14","22","Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;"
"kjv","4","14","23","Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:"
"kjv","4","14","24","But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it."
"kjv","4","14","25","(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea."
"kjv","4","14","26","And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"kjv","4","14","27","How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me."
"kjv","4","14","28","Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:"
"kjv","4","14","29","Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,"
"kjv","4","14","30","Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."
"kjv","4","14","31","But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised."
"kjv","4","14","32","But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness."
"kjv","4","14","33","And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness."
"kjv","4","14","34","After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise."
"kjv","4","14","35","I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
"kjv","4","14","36","And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,"
"kjv","4","14","37","Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD."
"kjv","4","14","38","But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still."
"kjv","4","14","39","And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly."
"kjv","4","14","40","And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned."
"kjv","4","14","41","And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper."
"kjv","4","14","42","Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies."
"kjv","4","14","43","For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you."
"kjv","4","14","44","But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp."
"kjv","4","14","45","Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah."
"kjv","4","15","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","15","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,"
"kjv","4","15","3","And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:"
"kjv","4","15","4","Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil."
"kjv","4","15","5","And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb."
"kjv","4","15","6","Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil."
"kjv","4","15","7","And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","15","8","And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:"
"kjv","4","15","9","Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil."
"kjv","4","15","10","And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","15","11","Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid."
"kjv","4","15","12","According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number."
"kjv","4","15","13","All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","15","14","And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do."
"kjv","4","15","15","One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD."
"kjv","4","15","16","One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you."
"kjv","4","15","17","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","15","18","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,"
"kjv","4","15","19","Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","15","20","Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it."
"kjv","4","15","21","Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations."
"kjv","4","15","22","And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,"
"kjv","4","15","23","Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;"
"kjv","4","15","24","Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering."
"kjv","4","15","25","And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:"
"kjv","4","15","26","And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance."
"kjv","4","15","27","And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering."
"kjv","4","15","28","And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him."
"kjv","4","15","29","Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them."
"kjv","4","15","30","But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
"kjv","4","15","31","Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him."
"kjv","4","15","32","And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day."
"kjv","4","15","33","And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation."
"kjv","4","15","34","And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him."
"kjv","4","15","35","And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp."
"kjv","4","15","36","And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","4","15","37","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","15","38","Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:"
"kjv","4","15","39","And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:"
"kjv","4","15","40","That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God."
"kjv","4","15","41","I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","4","16","1","Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:"
"kjv","4","16","2","And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:"
"kjv","4","16","3","And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?"
"kjv","4","16","4","And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:"
"kjv","4","16","5","And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him."
"kjv","4","16","6","This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;"
"kjv","4","16","7","And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi."
"kjv","4","16","8","And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:"
"kjv","4","16","9","Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?"
"kjv","4","16","10","And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?"
"kjv","4","16","11","For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?"
"kjv","4","16","12","And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:"
"kjv","4","16","13","Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?"
"kjv","4","16","14","Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up."
"kjv","4","16","15","And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
"kjv","4","16","16","And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:"
"kjv","4","16","17","And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer."
"kjv","4","16","18","And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron."
"kjv","4","16","19","And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation."
"kjv","4","16","20","And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"kjv","4","16","21","Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
"kjv","4","16","22","And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?"
"kjv","4","16","23","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","16","24","Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
"kjv","4","16","25","And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him."
"kjv","4","16","26","And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins."
"kjv","4","16","27","So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children."
"kjv","4","16","28","And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind."
"kjv","4","16","29","If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me."
"kjv","4","16","30","But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD."
"kjv","4","16","31","And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:"
"kjv","4","16","32","And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods."
"kjv","4","16","33","They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation."
"kjv","4","16","34","And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also."
"kjv","4","16","35","And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense."
"kjv","4","16","36","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","16","37","Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed."
"kjv","4","16","38","The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","16","39","And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:"
"kjv","4","16","40","To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","4","16","41","But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD."
"kjv","4","16","42","And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared."
"kjv","4","16","43","And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","4","16","44","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","16","45","Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces."
"kjv","4","16","46","And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun."
"kjv","4","16","47","And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people."
"kjv","4","16","48","And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed."
"kjv","4","16","49","Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah."
"kjv","4","16","50","And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed."
"kjv","4","17","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","17","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod."
"kjv","4","17","3","And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers."
"kjv","4","17","4","And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you."
"kjv","4","17","5","And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you."
"kjv","4","17","6","And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods."
"kjv","4","17","7","And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness."
"kjv","4","17","8","And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."
"kjv","4","17","9","And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod."
"kjv","4","17","10","And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not."
"kjv","4","17","11","And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he."
"kjv","4","17","12","And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish."
"kjv","4","17","13","Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?"
"kjv","4","18","1","And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood."
"kjv","4","18","2","And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness."
"kjv","4","18","3","And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die."
"kjv","4","18","4","And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you."
"kjv","4","18","5","And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","18","6","And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","4","18","7","Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
"kjv","4","18","8","And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever."
"kjv","4","18","9","This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons."
"kjv","4","18","10","In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee."
"kjv","4","18","11","And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it."
"kjv","4","18","12","All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee."
"kjv","4","18","13","And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it."
"kjv","4","18","14","Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine."
"kjv","4","18","15","Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem."
"kjv","4","18","16","And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs."
"kjv","4","18","17","But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD."
"kjv","4","18","18","And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine."
"kjv","4","18","19","All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee."
"kjv","4","18","20","And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","18","21","And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","4","18","22","Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die."
"kjv","4","18","23","But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance."
"kjv","4","18","24","But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance."
"kjv","4","18","25","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","18","26","Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe."
"kjv","4","18","27","And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress."
"kjv","4","18","28","Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest."
"kjv","4","18","29","Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it."
"kjv","4","18","30","Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress."
"kjv","4","18","31","And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","4","18","32","And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die."
"kjv","4","19","1","And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"kjv","4","19","2","This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:"
"kjv","4","19","3","And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:"
"kjv","4","19","4","And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:"
"kjv","4","19","5","And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:"
"kjv","4","19","6","And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer."
"kjv","4","19","7","Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even."
"kjv","4","19","8","And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even."
"kjv","4","19","9","And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin."
"kjv","4","19","10","And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever."
"kjv","4","19","11","He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days."
"kjv","4","19","12","He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean."
"kjv","4","19","13","Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him."
"kjv","4","19","14","This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days."
"kjv","4","19","15","And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean."
"kjv","4","19","16","And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days."
"kjv","4","19","17","And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:"
"kjv","4","19","18","And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:"
"kjv","4","19","19","And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even."
"kjv","4","19","20","But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean."
"kjv","4","19","21","And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even."
"kjv","4","19","22","And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even."
"kjv","4","20","1","Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there."
"kjv","4","20","2","And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron."
"kjv","4","20","3","And the people chided with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!"
"kjv","4","20","4","And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?"
"kjv","4","20","5","And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink."
"kjv","4","20","6","And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them."
"kjv","4","20","7","And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,"
"kjv","4","20","8","Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink."
"kjv","4","20","9","And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him."
"kjv","4","20","10","And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?"
"kjv","4","20","11","And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also."
"kjv","4","20","12","And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."
"kjv","4","20","13","This is the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them."
"kjv","4","20","14","And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:"
"kjv","4","20","15","How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:"
"kjv","4","20","16","And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:"
"kjv","4","20","17","Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders."
"kjv","4","20","18","And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword."
"kjv","4","20","19","And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet."
"kjv","4","20","20","And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand."
"kjv","4","20","21","Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him."
"kjv","4","20","22","And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor."
"kjv","4","20","23","And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,"
"kjv","4","20","24","Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah."
"kjv","4","20","25","Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:"
"kjv","4","20","26","And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there."
"kjv","4","20","27","And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation."
"kjv","4","20","28","And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount."
"kjv","4","20","29","And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel."
"kjv","4","21","1","And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners."
"kjv","4","21","2","And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
"kjv","4","21","3","And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah."
"kjv","4","21","4","And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way."
"kjv","4","21","5","And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread."
"kjv","4","21","6","And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died."
"kjv","4","21","7","Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people."
"kjv","4","21","8","And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."
"kjv","4","21","9","And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."
"kjv","4","21","10","And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth."
"kjv","4","21","11","And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising."
"kjv","4","21","12","From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared."
"kjv","4","21","13","From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites."
"kjv","4","21","14","Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,"
"kjv","4","21","15","And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab."
"kjv","4","21","16","And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
"kjv","4","21","17","Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:"
"kjv","4","21","18","The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:"
"kjv","4","21","19","And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:"
"kjv","4","21","20","And from Bamoth in the valley that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon."
"kjv","4","21","21","And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,"
"kjv","4","21","22","Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders."
"kjv","4","21","23","And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel."
"kjv","4","21","24","And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong."
"kjv","4","21","25","And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof."
"kjv","4","21","26","For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon."
"kjv","4","21","27","Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:"
"kjv","4","21","28","For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon."
"kjv","4","21","29","Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites."
"kjv","4","21","30","We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba."
"kjv","4","21","31","Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites."
"kjv","4","21","32","And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there."
"kjv","4","21","33","And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei."
"kjv","4","21","34","And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon."
"kjv","4","21","35","So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land."
"kjv","4","22","1","And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho."
"kjv","4","22","2","And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites."
"kjv","4","22","3","And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel."
"kjv","4","22","4","And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time."
"kjv","4","22","5","He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:"
"kjv","4","22","6","Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed."
"kjv","4","22","7","And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak."
"kjv","4","22","8","And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam."
"kjv","4","22","9","And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?"
"kjv","4","22","10","And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,"
"kjv","4","22","11","Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out."
"kjv","4","22","12","And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed."
"kjv","4","22","13","And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you."
"kjv","4","22","14","And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us."
"kjv","4","22","15","And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they."
"kjv","4","22","16","And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:"
"kjv","4","22","17","For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people."
"kjv","4","22","18","And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more."
"kjv","4","22","19","Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more."
"kjv","4","22","20","And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do."
"kjv","4","22","21","And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab."
"kjv","4","22","22","And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him."
"kjv","4","22","23","And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way."
"kjv","4","22","24","But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side."
"kjv","4","22","25","And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again."
"kjv","4","22","26","And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left."
"kjv","4","22","27","And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff."
"kjv","4","22","28","And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?"
"kjv","4","22","29","And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee."
"kjv","4","22","30","And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay."
"kjv","4","22","31","Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face."
"kjv","4","22","32","And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:"
"kjv","4","22","33","And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive."
"kjv","4","22","34","And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again."
"kjv","4","22","35","And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak."
"kjv","4","22","36","And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast."
"kjv","4","22","37","And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?"
"kjv","4","22","38","And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak."
"kjv","4","22","39","And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth."
"kjv","4","22","40","And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him."
"kjv","4","22","41","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people."
"kjv","4","23","1","And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams."
"kjv","4","23","2","And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram."
"kjv","4","23","3","And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place."
"kjv","4","23","4","And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram."
"kjv","4","23","5","And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak."
"kjv","4","23","6","And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab."
"kjv","4","23","7","And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel."
"kjv","4","23","8","How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?"
"kjv","4","23","9","For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations."
"kjv","4","23","10","Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!"
"kjv","4","23","11","And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether."
"kjv","4","23","12","And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?"
"kjv","4","23","13","And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence."
"kjv","4","23","14","And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar."
"kjv","4","23","15","And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder."
"kjv","4","23","16","And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus."
"kjv","4","23","17","And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?"
"kjv","4","23","18","And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:"
"kjv","4","23","19","God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
"kjv","4","23","20","Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it."
"kjv","4","23","21","He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them."
"kjv","4","23","22","God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn."
"kjv","4","23","23","Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!"
"kjv","4","23","24","Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain."
"kjv","4","23","25","And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."
"kjv","4","23","26","But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?"
"kjv","4","23","27","And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence."
"kjv","4","23","28","And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon."
"kjv","4","23","29","And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams."
"kjv","4","23","30","And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar."
"kjv","4","24","1","And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness."
"kjv","4","24","2","And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him."
"kjv","4","24","3","And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:"
"kjv","4","24","4","He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:"

"kjv","4","24","7","He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted."
"kjv","4","24","8","God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows."

"kjv","4","24","11","Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour."
"kjv","4","24","12","And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,"
"kjv","4","24","13","If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?"

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

"kjv","5","24","9","Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt."
"kjv","5","24","10","When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge."
"kjv","5","24","11","Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee."
"kjv","5","24","12","And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge:"
"kjv","5","24","13","In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","24","14","Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:"
"kjv","5","24","15","At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee."
"kjv","5","24","16","The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin."
"kjv","5","24","17","Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:"
"kjv","5","24","18","But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing."
"kjv","5","24","19","When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands."
"kjv","5","24","20","When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow."
"kjv","5","24","21","When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow."
"kjv","5","24","22","And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing."
"kjv","5","25","1","If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked."
"kjv","5","25","2","And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number."
"kjv","5","25","3","Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee."
"kjv","5","25","4","Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn."
"kjv","5","25","5","If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her."
"kjv","5","25","6","And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel."
"kjv","5","25","7","And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother."
"kjv","5","25","8","Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;"
"kjv","5","25","9","Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house."
"kjv","5","25","10","And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed."
"kjv","5","25","11","When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:"
"kjv","5","25","12","Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."
"kjv","5","25","13","Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small."
"kjv","5","25","14","Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small."
"kjv","5","25","15","But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
"kjv","5","25","16","For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","25","17","Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;"
"kjv","5","25","18","How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God."
"kjv","5","25","19","Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it."
"kjv","5","26","1","And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;"
"kjv","5","26","2","That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there."
"kjv","5","26","3","And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us."
"kjv","5","26","4","And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","26","5","And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:"
"kjv","5","26","6","And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:"
"kjv","5","26","7","And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:"
"kjv","5","26","8","And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:"
"kjv","5","26","9","And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey."
"kjv","5","26","10","And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:"
"kjv","5","26","11","And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you."
"kjv","5","26","12","When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;"
"kjv","5","26","13","Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:"
"kjv","5","26","14","I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me."
"kjv","5","26","15","Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey."
"kjv","5","26","16","This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul."
"kjv","5","26","17","Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:"
"kjv","5","26","18","And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;"
"kjv","5","26","19","And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken."
"kjv","5","27","1","And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day."
"kjv","5","27","2","And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:"
"kjv","5","27","3","And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee."
"kjv","5","27","4","Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster."
"kjv","5","27","5","And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them."
"kjv","5","27","6","Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:"
"kjv","5","27","7","And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","27","8","And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly."
"kjv","5","27","9","And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","27","10","Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day."
"kjv","5","27","11","And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,"
"kjv","5","27","12","These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:"
"kjv","5","27","13","And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali."
"kjv","5","27","14","And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,"
"kjv","5","27","15","Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","16","Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","17","Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","18","Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","19","Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","20","Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","21","Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","22","Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","23","Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","24","Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","25","Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","27","26","Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"kjv","5","28","1","And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:"
"kjv","5","28","2","And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","28","3","Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field."
"kjv","5","28","4","Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep."
"kjv","5","28","5","Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store."
"kjv","5","28","6","Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out."
"kjv","5","28","7","The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways."
"kjv","5","28","8","The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
"kjv","5","28","9","The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways."
"kjv","5","28","10","And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee."
"kjv","5","28","11","And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee."
"kjv","5","28","12","The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow."
"kjv","5","28","13","And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:"
"kjv","5","28","14","And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them."
"kjv","5","28","15","But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:"
"kjv","5","28","16","Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field."
"kjv","5","28","17","Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store."
"kjv","5","28","18","Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep."
"kjv","5","28","19","Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out."
"kjv","5","28","20","The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me."
"kjv","5","28","21","The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it."
"kjv","5","28","22","The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish."
"kjv","5","28","23","And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron."

"kjv","5","28","25","The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth."
"kjv","5","28","26","And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away."
"kjv","5","28","27","The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed."
"kjv","5","28","28","The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:"
"kjv","5","28","29","And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee."
"kjv","5","28","30","Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof."
"kjv","5","28","31","Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them."
"kjv","5","28","32","Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand."
"kjv","5","28","33","The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:"
"kjv","5","28","34","So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."
"kjv","5","28","35","The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head."
"kjv","5","28","36","The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone."
"kjv","5","28","37","And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee."
"kjv","5","28","38","Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it."

"kjv","5","28","41","Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity."
"kjv","5","28","42","All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume."
"kjv","5","28","43","The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low."
"kjv","5","28","44","He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail."
"kjv","5","28","45","Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:"
"kjv","5","28","46","And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever."
"kjv","5","28","47","Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;"
"kjv","5","28","48","Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee."
"kjv","5","28","49","The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;"
"kjv","5","28","50","A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:"
"kjv","5","28","51","And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee."
"kjv","5","28","52","And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee."
"kjv","5","28","53","And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:"
"kjv","5","28","54","So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:"
"kjv","5","28","55","So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates."
"kjv","5","28","56","The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,"
"kjv","5","28","57","And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates."
"kjv","5","28","58","If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;"
"kjv","5","28","59","Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance."
"kjv","5","28","60","Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee."
"kjv","5","28","61","Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
"kjv","5","28","62","And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God."
"kjv","5","28","63","And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it."
"kjv","5","28","64","And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone."
"kjv","5","28","65","And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:"
"kjv","5","28","66","And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:"
"kjv","5","28","67","In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."
"kjv","5","28","68","And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you."
"kjv","5","29","1","These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb."
"kjv","5","29","2","And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;"
"kjv","5","29","3","The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:"
"kjv","5","29","4","Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day."
"kjv","5","29","5","And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot."
"kjv","5","29","6","Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","5","29","7","And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:"
"kjv","5","29","8","And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh."
"kjv","5","29","9","Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do."
"kjv","5","29","10","Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,"
"kjv","5","29","11","Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:"
"kjv","5","29","12","That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:"
"kjv","5","29","13","That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
"kjv","5","29","14","Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;"
"kjv","5","29","15","But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:"
"kjv","5","29","16","(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;"
"kjv","5","29","17","And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)"
"kjv","5","29","18","Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;"
"kjv","5","29","19","And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:"
"kjv","5","29","20","The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven."
"kjv","5","29","21","And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:"
"kjv","5","29","22","So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;"
"kjv","5","29","23","And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:"
"kjv","5","29","24","Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?"
"kjv","5","29","25","Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:"
"kjv","5","29","26","For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:"
"kjv","5","29","27","And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:"
"kjv","5","29","28","And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day."
"kjv","5","29","29","The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law."
"kjv","5","30","1","And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,"
"kjv","5","30","2","And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;"
"kjv","5","30","3","That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee."
"kjv","5","30","4","If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:"
"kjv","5","30","5","And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers."
"kjv","5","30","6","And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."
"kjv","5","30","7","And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee."
"kjv","5","30","8","And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day."
"kjv","5","30","9","And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:"
"kjv","5","30","10","If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul."
"kjv","5","30","11","For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off."
"kjv","5","30","12","It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?"
"kjv","5","30","13","Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?"
"kjv","5","30","14","But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it."
"kjv","5","30","15","See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;"
"kjv","5","30","16","In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it."
"kjv","5","30","17","But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;"
"kjv","5","30","18","I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it."
"kjv","5","30","19","I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"
"kjv","5","30","20","That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
"kjv","5","31","1","And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel."
"kjv","5","31","2","And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan."
"kjv","5","31","3","The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said."
"kjv","5","31","4","And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed."
"kjv","5","31","5","And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you."
"kjv","5","31","6","Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
"kjv","5","31","7","And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it."
"kjv","5","31","8","And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
"kjv","5","31","9","And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel."
"kjv","5","31","10","And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,"
"kjv","5","31","11","When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
"kjv","5","31","12","Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:"
"kjv","5","31","13","And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it."
"kjv","5","31","14","And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","5","31","15","And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle."
"kjv","5","31","16","And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them."
"kjv","5","31","17","Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?"
"kjv","5","31","18","And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods."
"kjv","5","31","19","Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel."
"kjv","5","31","20","For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant."
"kjv","5","31","21","And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware."
"kjv","5","31","22","Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel."
"kjv","5","31","23","And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee."
"kjv","5","31","24","And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,"
"kjv","5","31","25","That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","5","31","26","Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee."
"kjv","5","31","27","For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?"
"kjv","5","31","28","Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them."
"kjv","5","31","29","For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands."
"kjv","5","31","30","And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended."
"kjv","5","32","1","Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth."
"kjv","5","32","2","My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:"
"kjv","5","32","3","Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God."
"kjv","5","32","4","He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he."
"kjv","5","32","5","They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation."
"kjv","5","32","6","Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?"
"kjv","5","32","7","Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee."
"kjv","5","32","8","When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."
"kjv","5","32","9","For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance."
"kjv","5","32","10","He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye."
"kjv","5","32","11","As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:"
"kjv","5","32","12","So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him."
"kjv","5","32","13","He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;"
"kjv","5","32","14","Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape."
"kjv","5","32","15","But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation."
"kjv","5","32","16","They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger."
"kjv","5","32","17","They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not."
"kjv","5","32","18","Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee."
"kjv","5","32","19","And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters."
"kjv","5","32","20","And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith."
"kjv","5","32","21","They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation."
"kjv","5","32","22","For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."
"kjv","5","32","23","I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them."
"kjv","5","32","24","They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust."
"kjv","5","32","25","The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs."
"kjv","5","32","26","I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:"
"kjv","5","32","27","Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this."
"kjv","5","32","28","For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them."
"kjv","5","32","29","O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!"
"kjv","5","32","30","How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?"
"kjv","5","32","31","For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges."
"kjv","5","32","32","For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:"
"kjv","5","32","33","Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps."
"kjv","5","32","34","Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?"
"kjv","5","32","35","To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste."
"kjv","5","32","36","For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left."
"kjv","5","32","37","And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,"
"kjv","5","32","38","Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection."
"kjv","5","32","39","See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand."
"kjv","5","32","40","For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever."
"kjv","5","32","41","If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me."
"kjv","5","32","42","I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy."
"kjv","5","32","43","Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people."
"kjv","5","32","44","And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun."
"kjv","5","32","45","And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:"
"kjv","5","32","46","And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law."
"kjv","5","32","47","For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it."
"kjv","5","32","48","And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,"
"kjv","5","32","49","Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:"
"kjv","5","32","50","And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:"
"kjv","5","32","51","Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel."
"kjv","5","32","52","Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel."
"kjv","5","33","1","And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death."
"kjv","5","33","2","And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them."
"kjv","5","33","3","Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words."
"kjv","5","33","4","Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob."
"kjv","5","33","5","And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together."
"kjv","5","33","6","Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few."
"kjv","5","33","7","And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies."
"kjv","5","33","8","And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;"
"kjv","5","33","9","Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant."
"kjv","5","33","10","They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar."
"kjv","5","33","11","Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again."
"kjv","5","33","12","And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders."
"kjv","5","33","13","And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,"
"kjv","5","33","14","And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,"
"kjv","5","33","15","And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,"
"kjv","5","33","16","And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren."
"kjv","5","33","17","His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."
"kjv","5","33","18","And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents."
"kjv","5","33","19","They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand."
"kjv","5","33","20","And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad; he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head."
"kjv","5","33","21","And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel."
"kjv","5","33","22","And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan."
"kjv","5","33","23","And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south."
"kjv","5","33","24","And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil."
"kjv","5","33","25","Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be."
"kjv","5","33","26","There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky."
"kjv","5","33","27","The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them."
"kjv","5","33","28","Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew."
"kjv","5","33","29","Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places."
"kjv","5","34","1","And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,"
"kjv","5","34","2","And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,"
"kjv","5","34","3","And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar."
"kjv","5","34","4","And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither."
"kjv","5","34","5","So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","5","34","6","And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day."
"kjv","5","34","7","And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated."
"kjv","5","34","8","And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended."
"kjv","5","34","9","And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","5","34","10","And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,"
"kjv","5","34","11","In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,"
"kjv","5","34","12","And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel."
"kjv","6","1","1","Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,"
"kjv","6","1","2","Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","1","3","Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses."
"kjv","6","1","4","From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast."
"kjv","6","1","5","There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
"kjv","6","1","6","Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them."
"kjv","6","1","7","Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest."
"kjv","6","1","8","This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
"kjv","6","1","9","Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
"kjv","6","1","10","Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,"
"kjv","6","1","11","Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it."
"kjv","6","1","12","And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,"
"kjv","6","1","13","Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land."
"kjv","6","1","14","Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;"
"kjv","6","1","15","Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising."
"kjv","6","1","16","And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go."
"kjv","6","1","17","According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses."
"kjv","6","1","18","Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage."
"kjv","6","2","1","And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there."
"kjv","6","2","2","And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country."
"kjv","6","2","3","And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country."
"kjv","6","2","4","And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:"
"kjv","6","2","5","And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them."
"kjv","6","2","6","But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof."
"kjv","6","2","7","And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate."
"kjv","6","2","8","And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;"
"kjv","6","2","9","And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you."
"kjv","6","2","10","For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed."
"kjv","6","2","11","And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath."
"kjv","6","2","12","Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:"
"kjv","6","2","13","And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death."
"kjv","6","2","14","And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee."
"kjv","6","2","15","Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall."
"kjv","6","2","16","And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way."
"kjv","6","2","17","And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear."
"kjv","6","2","18","Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee."
"kjv","6","2","19","And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him."
"kjv","6","2","20","And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear."
"kjv","6","2","21","And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window."
"kjv","6","2","22","And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not."
"kjv","6","2","23","So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:"
"kjv","6","2","24","And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us."
"kjv","6","3","1","And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over."
"kjv","6","3","2","And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;"
"kjv","6","3","3","And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it."
"kjv","6","3","4","Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore."
"kjv","6","3","5","And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."
"kjv","6","3","6","And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people."
"kjv","6","3","7","And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee."
"kjv","6","3","8","And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan."
"kjv","6","3","9","And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God."
"kjv","6","3","10","And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites."
"kjv","6","3","11","Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan."
"kjv","6","3","12","Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man."
"kjv","6","3","13","And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap."
"kjv","6","3","14","And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;"
"kjv","6","3","15","And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)"
"kjv","6","3","16","That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."
"kjv","6","3","17","And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan."
"kjv","6","4","1","And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,"
"kjv","6","4","2","Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,"
"kjv","6","4","3","And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night."
"kjv","6","4","4","Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:"
"kjv","6","4","5","And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:"
"kjv","6","4","6","That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?"
"kjv","6","4","7","Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever."
"kjv","6","4","8","And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there."
"kjv","6","4","9","And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day."
"kjv","6","4","10","For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over."
"kjv","6","4","11","And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people."
"kjv","6","4","12","And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:"
"kjv","6","4","13","About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho."
"kjv","6","4","14","On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life."
"kjv","6","4","15","And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,"
"kjv","6","4","16","Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan."
"kjv","6","4","17","Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan."
"kjv","6","4","18","And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before."
"kjv","6","4","19","And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho."
"kjv","6","4","20","And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal."
"kjv","6","4","21","And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?"
"kjv","6","4","22","Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land."
"kjv","6","4","23","For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:"
"kjv","6","4","24","That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever."
"kjv","6","5","1","And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","5","2","At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
"kjv","6","5","3","And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins."
"kjv","6","5","4","And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt."
"kjv","6","5","5","Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised."
"kjv","6","5","6","For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."
"kjv","6","5","7","And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way."
"kjv","6","5","8","And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole."
"kjv","6","5","9","And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day."
"kjv","6","5","10","And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho."
"kjv","6","5","11","And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day."
"kjv","6","5","12","And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year."
"kjv","6","5","13","And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?"
"kjv","6","5","14","And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?"
"kjv","6","5","15","And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so."
"kjv","6","6","1","Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in."
"kjv","6","6","2","And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour."
"kjv","6","6","3","And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days."
"kjv","6","6","4","And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets."
"kjv","6","6","5","And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him."
"kjv","6","6","6","And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."
"kjv","6","6","7","And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD."
"kjv","6","6","8","And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them."
"kjv","6","6","9","And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets."
"kjv","6","6","10","And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout."
"kjv","6","6","11","So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp."
"kjv","6","6","12","And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD."
"kjv","6","6","13","And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets."
"kjv","6","6","14","And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days."
"kjv","6","6","15","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times."
"kjv","6","6","16","And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city."
"kjv","6","6","17","And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent."
"kjv","6","6","18","And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it."
"kjv","6","6","19","But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD."
"kjv","6","6","20","So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city."
"kjv","6","6","21","And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","6","6","22","But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her."
"kjv","6","6","23","And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel."
"kjv","6","6","24","And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","6","6","25","And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho."
"kjv","6","6","26","And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it."
"kjv","6","6","27","So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country."
"kjv","6","7","1","But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","7","2","And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai."
"kjv","6","7","3","And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few."
"kjv","6","7","4","So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai."
"kjv","6","7","5","And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water."
"kjv","6","7","6","And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads."
"kjv","6","7","7","And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!"
"kjv","6","7","8","O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!"
"kjv","6","7","9","For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?"
"kjv","6","7","10","And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?"
"kjv","6","7","11","Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff."
"kjv","6","7","12","Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you."
"kjv","6","7","13","Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you."
"kjv","6","7","14","In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man."
"kjv","6","7","15","And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel."
"kjv","6","7","16","So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:"
"kjv","6","7","17","And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:"
"kjv","6","7","18","And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken."
"kjv","6","7","19","And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me."
"kjv","6","7","20","And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:"
"kjv","6","7","21","When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it."
"kjv","6","7","22","So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it."
"kjv","6","7","23","And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD."
"kjv","6","7","24","And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor."
"kjv","6","7","25","And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones."
"kjv","6","7","26","And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day."
"kjv","6","8","1","And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:"
"kjv","6","8","2","And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it."
"kjv","6","8","3","So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night."
"kjv","6","8","4","And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:"
"kjv","6","8","5","And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,"
"kjv","6","8","6","(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them."
"kjv","6","8","7","Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand."
"kjv","6","8","8","And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you."
"kjv","6","8","9","Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people."
"kjv","6","8","10","And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai."
"kjv","6","8","11","And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai."
"kjv","6","8","12","And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city."
"kjv","6","8","13","And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley."
"kjv","6","8","14","And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city."
"kjv","6","8","15","And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness."
"kjv","6","8","16","And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city."
"kjv","6","8","17","And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel."
"kjv","6","8","18","And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city."
"kjv","6","8","19","And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire."
"kjv","6","8","20","And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers."
"kjv","6","8","21","And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai."
"kjv","6","8","22","And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape."
"kjv","6","8","23","And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua."
"kjv","6","8","24","And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","6","8","25","And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai."
"kjv","6","8","26","For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai."
"kjv","6","8","27","Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua."
"kjv","6","8","28","And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day."
"kjv","6","8","29","And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day."
"kjv","6","8","30","Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,"
"kjv","6","8","31","As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings."
"kjv","6","8","32","And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","8","33","And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel."
"kjv","6","8","34","And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law."
"kjv","6","8","35","There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them."
"kjv","6","9","1","And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;"
"kjv","6","9","2","That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord."
"kjv","6","9","3","And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,"
"kjv","6","9","4","They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;"
"kjv","6","9","5","And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy."
"kjv","6","9","6","And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us."
"kjv","6","9","7","And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?"
"kjv","6","9","8","And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?"
"kjv","6","9","9","And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,"
"kjv","6","9","10","And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth."
"kjv","6","9","11","Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us."
"kjv","6","9","12","This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:"
"kjv","6","9","13","And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey."
"kjv","6","9","14","And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD."
"kjv","6","9","15","And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them."
"kjv","6","9","16","And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them."
"kjv","6","9","17","And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim."
"kjv","6","9","18","And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes."
"kjv","6","9","19","But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them."
"kjv","6","9","20","This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them."
"kjv","6","9","21","And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them."
"kjv","6","9","22","And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?"
"kjv","6","9","23","Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."
"kjv","6","9","24","And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing."
"kjv","6","9","25","And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do."
"kjv","6","9","26","And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not."
"kjv","6","9","27","And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose."
"kjv","6","10","1","Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;"
"kjv","6","10","2","That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty."
"kjv","6","10","3","Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,"
"kjv","6","10","4","Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","10","5","Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it."
"kjv","6","10","6","And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us."
"kjv","6","10","7","So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour."
"kjv","6","10","8","And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
"kjv","6","10","9","Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night."
"kjv","6","10","10","And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah."
"kjv","6","10","11","And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
"kjv","6","10","12","Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
"kjv","6","10","13","And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
"kjv","6","10","14","And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."
"kjv","6","10","15","And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
"kjv","6","10","16","But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah."
"kjv","6","10","17","And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah."
"kjv","6","10","18","And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:"
"kjv","6","10","19","And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand."
"kjv","6","10","20","And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities."
"kjv","6","10","21","And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","10","22","Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave."
"kjv","6","10","23","And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon."
"kjv","6","10","24","And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them."
"kjv","6","10","25","And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight."
"kjv","6","10","26","And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening."
"kjv","6","10","27","And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day."
"kjv","6","10","28","And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho."
"kjv","6","10","29","Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:"
"kjv","6","10","30","And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho."
"kjv","6","10","31","And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:"
"kjv","6","10","32","And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah."
"kjv","6","10","33","Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining."
"kjv","6","10","34","And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:"
"kjv","6","10","35","And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish."
"kjv","6","10","36","And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:"
"kjv","6","10","37","And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein."
"kjv","6","10","38","And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:"
"kjv","6","10","39","And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king."
"kjv","6","10","40","So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded."
"kjv","6","10","41","And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon."
"kjv","6","10","42","And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel."
"kjv","6","10","43","And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
"kjv","6","11","1","And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
"kjv","6","11","2","And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,"
"kjv","6","11","3","And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh."
"kjv","6","11","4","And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many."
"kjv","6","11","5","And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel."
"kjv","6","11","6","And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."
"kjv","6","11","7","So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them."
"kjv","6","11","8","And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining."
"kjv","6","11","9","And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire."
"kjv","6","11","10","And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms."
"kjv","6","11","11","And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire."
"kjv","6","11","12","And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded."
"kjv","6","11","13","But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn."
"kjv","6","11","14","And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe."
"kjv","6","11","15","As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","6","11","16","So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;"
"kjv","6","11","17","Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them."
"kjv","6","11","18","Joshua made war a long time with all those kings."
"kjv","6","11","19","There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle."
"kjv","6","11","20","For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","6","11","21","And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities."
"kjv","6","11","22","There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained."
"kjv","6","11","23","So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war."
"kjv","6","12","1","Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:"
"kjv","6","12","2","Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;"
"kjv","6","12","3","And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:"
"kjv","6","12","4","And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,"
"kjv","6","12","5","And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon."
"kjv","6","12","6","Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh."
"kjv","6","12","7","And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;"
"kjv","6","12","8","In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:"
"kjv","6","12","9","The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;"
"kjv","6","12","10","The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;"
"kjv","6","12","11","The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;"
"kjv","6","12","12","The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;"
"kjv","6","12","13","The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;"

"kjv","6","13","1","Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed."
"kjv","6","13","2","This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,"
"kjv","6","13","3","From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:"
"kjv","6","13","4","From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:"
"kjv","6","13","5","And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath."
"kjv","6","13","6","All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee."
"kjv","6","13","7","Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,"
"kjv","6","13","8","With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;"
"kjv","6","13","9","From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;"
"kjv","6","13","10","And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;"

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

"kjv","6","15","62","And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages."
"kjv","6","15","63","As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day."
"kjv","6","16","1","And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel."
"kjv","6","16","2","And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,"
"kjv","6","16","3","And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea."
"kjv","6","16","4","So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance."
"kjv","6","16","5","And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;"
"kjv","6","16","6","And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;"
"kjv","6","16","7","And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan."
"kjv","6","16","8","The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families."
"kjv","6","16","9","And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages."
"kjv","6","16","10","And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute."
"kjv","6","17","1","There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan."
"kjv","6","17","2","There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families."
"kjv","6","17","3","But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah."
"kjv","6","17","4","And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father."
"kjv","6","17","5","And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;"
"kjv","6","17","6","Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead."
"kjv","6","17","7","And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah."
"kjv","6","17","8","Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;"
"kjv","6","17","9","And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:"
"kjv","6","17","10","Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east."
"kjv","6","17","11","And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries."
"kjv","6","17","12","Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land."
"kjv","6","17","13","Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out."
"kjv","6","17","14","And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?"
"kjv","6","17","15","And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee."
"kjv","6","17","16","And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel."
"kjv","6","17","17","And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:"
"kjv","6","17","18","But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong."
"kjv","6","18","1","And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them."
"kjv","6","18","2","And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance."
"kjv","6","18","3","And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?"
"kjv","6","18","4","Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me."
"kjv","6","18","5","And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north."
"kjv","6","18","6","Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God."
"kjv","6","18","7","But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."
"kjv","6","18","8","And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh."
"kjv","6","18","9","And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh."
"kjv","6","18","10","And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions."
"kjv","6","18","11","And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph."
"kjv","6","18","12","And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven."
"kjv","6","18","13","And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron."
"kjv","6","18","14","And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter."
"kjv","6","18","15","And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:"
"kjv","6","18","16","And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,"
"kjv","6","18","17","And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,"
"kjv","6","18","18","And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:"
"kjv","6","18","19","And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast."
"kjv","6","18","20","And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families."
"kjv","6","18","21","Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz."
"kjv","6","18","22","And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,"
"kjv","6","18","23","And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,"
"kjv","6","18","24","And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:"
"kjv","6","18","25","Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,"
"kjv","6","18","26","And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,"
"kjv","6","18","27","And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,"
"kjv","6","18","28","And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families."
"kjv","6","19","1","And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah."
"kjv","6","19","2","And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,"
"kjv","6","19","3","And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,"

"kjv","6","19","7","Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:"
"kjv","6","19","8","And all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families."
"kjv","6","19","9","Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them."
"kjv","6","19","10","And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:"
"kjv","6","19","11","And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;"
"kjv","6","19","12","And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia."

"kjv","6","19","46","And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho."
"kjv","6","19","47","And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father."
"kjv","6","19","48","This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages."
"kjv","6","19","49","When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:"
"kjv","6","19","50","According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein."
"kjv","6","19","51","These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country."
"kjv","6","20","1","The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,"
"kjv","6","20","2","Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:"
"kjv","6","20","3","That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood."
"kjv","6","20","4","And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them."
"kjv","6","20","5","And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime."
"kjv","6","20","6","And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled."
"kjv","6","20","7","And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah."
"kjv","6","20","8","And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh."
"kjv","6","20","9","These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation."
"kjv","6","21","1","Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;"
"kjv","6","21","2","And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle."
"kjv","6","21","3","And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs."
"kjv","6","21","4","And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities."
"kjv","6","21","5","And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities."
"kjv","6","21","6","And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities."
"kjv","6","21","7","The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities."
"kjv","6","21","8","And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","6","21","9","And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name,"
"kjv","6","21","10","Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot."
"kjv","6","21","11","And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it."
"kjv","6","21","12","But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession."
"kjv","6","21","13","Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","14","And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","15","And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","16","And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes."
"kjv","6","21","17","And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","18","Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","19","All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs."
"kjv","6","21","20","And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim."
"kjv","6","21","21","For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","22","And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","23","And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","24","Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","25","And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities."
"kjv","6","21","26","All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained."
"kjv","6","21","27","And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities."
"kjv","6","21","28","And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","29","Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","30","And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","31","Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","32","And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities."
"kjv","6","21","33","All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs."
"kjv","6","21","34","And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","35","Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","36","And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","37","Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities."
"kjv","6","21","38","And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,"
"kjv","6","21","39","Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all."
"kjv","6","21","40","So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities."
"kjv","6","21","41","All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs."
"kjv","6","21","42","These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities."
"kjv","6","21","43","And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein."
"kjv","6","21","44","And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand."
"kjv","6","21","45","There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass."
"kjv","6","22","1","Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,"
"kjv","6","22","2","And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:"
"kjv","6","22","3","Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God."
"kjv","6","22","4","And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan."
"kjv","6","22","5","But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
"kjv","6","22","6","So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents."
"kjv","6","22","7","Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,"
"kjv","6","22","8","And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."
"kjv","6","22","9","And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","6","22","10","And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to."
"kjv","6","22","11","And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel."
"kjv","6","22","12","And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them."
"kjv","6","22","13","And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,"
"kjv","6","22","14","And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel."
"kjv","6","22","15","And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,"
"kjv","6","22","16","Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?"
"kjv","6","22","17","Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,"
"kjv","6","22","18","But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel."
"kjv","6","22","19","Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God."
"kjv","6","22","20","Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity."
"kjv","6","22","21","Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,"
"kjv","6","22","22","The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)"
"kjv","6","22","23","That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;"
"kjv","6","22","24","And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?"
"kjv","6","22","25","For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD."
"kjv","6","22","26","Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:"
"kjv","6","22","27","But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD."
"kjv","6","22","28","Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you."
"kjv","6","22","29","God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle."
"kjv","6","22","30","And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them."
"kjv","6","22","31","And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."
"kjv","6","22","32","And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again."
"kjv","6","22","33","And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt."
"kjv","6","22","34","And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God."
"kjv","6","23","1","And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age."
"kjv","6","23","2","And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:"
"kjv","6","23","3","And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you."
"kjv","6","23","4","Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward."
"kjv","6","23","5","And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you."
"kjv","6","23","6","Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;"
"kjv","6","23","7","That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:"
"kjv","6","23","8","But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day."
"kjv","6","23","9","For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day."
"kjv","6","23","10","One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you."
"kjv","6","23","11","Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God."
"kjv","6","23","12","Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:"
"kjv","6","23","13","Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you."
"kjv","6","23","14","And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof."
"kjv","6","23","15","Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you."
"kjv","6","23","16","When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you."
"kjv","6","24","1","And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God."
"kjv","6","24","2","And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods."
"kjv","6","24","3","And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac."
"kjv","6","24","4","And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt."
"kjv","6","24","5","I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out."
"kjv","6","24","6","And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea."
"kjv","6","24","7","And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season."
"kjv","6","24","8","And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you."
"kjv","6","24","9","Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:"
"kjv","6","24","10","But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand."
"kjv","6","24","11","And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand."
"kjv","6","24","12","And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow."
"kjv","6","24","13","And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat."
"kjv","6","24","14","Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD."
"kjv","6","24","15","And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
"kjv","6","24","16","And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;"
"kjv","6","24","17","For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:"
"kjv","6","24","18","And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God."
"kjv","6","24","19","And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins."
"kjv","6","24","20","If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good."
"kjv","6","24","21","And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD."
"kjv","6","24","22","And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses."
"kjv","6","24","23","Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","6","24","24","And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey."
"kjv","6","24","25","So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem."
"kjv","6","24","26","And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD."
"kjv","6","24","27","And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God."
"kjv","6","24","28","So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance."
"kjv","6","24","29","And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old."
"kjv","6","24","30","And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash."
"kjv","6","24","31","And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel."
"kjv","6","24","32","And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph."
"kjv","6","24","33","And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim."
"kjv","7","1","1","Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?"
"kjv","7","1","2","And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand."
"kjv","7","1","3","And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him."
"kjv","7","1","4","And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men."
"kjv","7","1","5","And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites."
"kjv","7","1","6","But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes."
"kjv","7","1","7","And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died."
"kjv","7","1","8","Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire."
"kjv","7","1","9","And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley."
"kjv","7","1","10","And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai."
"kjv","7","1","11","And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:"
"kjv","7","1","12","And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife."
"kjv","7","1","13","And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
"kjv","7","1","14","And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?"
"kjv","7","1","15","And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs."
"kjv","7","1","16","And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people."
"kjv","7","1","17","And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah."
"kjv","7","1","18","Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof."
"kjv","7","1","19","And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
"kjv","7","1","20","And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak."
"kjv","7","1","21","And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day."
"kjv","7","1","22","And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them."
"kjv","7","1","23","And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)"
"kjv","7","1","24","And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy."
"kjv","7","1","25","And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family."
"kjv","7","1","26","And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day."
"kjv","7","1","27","Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land."
"kjv","7","1","28","And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out."
"kjv","7","1","29","Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them."
"kjv","7","1","30","Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries."
"kjv","7","1","31","Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:"
"kjv","7","1","32","But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out."
"kjv","7","1","33","Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them."
"kjv","7","1","34","And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:"
"kjv","7","1","35","But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries."
"kjv","7","1","36","And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward."
"kjv","7","2","1","And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you."
"kjv","7","2","2","And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?"
"kjv","7","2","3","Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you."
"kjv","7","2","4","And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept."
"kjv","7","2","5","And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD."
"kjv","7","2","6","And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land."
"kjv","7","2","7","And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel."
"kjv","7","2","8","And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old."
"kjv","7","2","9","And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash."
"kjv","7","2","10","And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel."
"kjv","7","2","11","And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:"
"kjv","7","2","12","And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger."
"kjv","7","2","13","And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth."
"kjv","7","2","14","And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies."
"kjv","7","2","15","Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed."
"kjv","7","2","16","Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them."
"kjv","7","2","17","And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so."
"kjv","7","2","18","And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them."
"kjv","7","2","19","And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way."
"kjv","7","2","20","And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;"
"kjv","7","2","21","I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:"
"kjv","7","2","22","That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not."
"kjv","7","2","23","Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua."
"kjv","7","3","1","Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;"
"kjv","7","3","2","Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;"
"kjv","7","3","3","Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath."
"kjv","7","3","4","And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","7","3","5","And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:"
"kjv","7","3","6","And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods."
"kjv","7","3","7","And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves."
"kjv","7","3","8","Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years."
"kjv","7","3","9","And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother."
"kjv","7","3","10","And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim."
"kjv","7","3","11","And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
"kjv","7","3","12","And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD."
"kjv","7","3","13","And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees."
"kjv","7","3","14","So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years."
"kjv","7","3","15","But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab."
"kjv","7","3","16","But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh."
"kjv","7","3","17","And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man."
"kjv","7","3","18","And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present."
"kjv","7","3","19","But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him."
"kjv","7","3","20","And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat."
"kjv","7","3","21","And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:"
"kjv","7","3","22","And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out."
"kjv","7","3","23","Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them."
"kjv","7","3","24","When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber."
"kjv","7","3","25","And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth."
"kjv","7","3","26","And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath."
"kjv","7","3","27","And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them."
"kjv","7","3","28","And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over."
"kjv","7","3","29","And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man."
"kjv","7","3","30","So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years."
"kjv","7","3","31","And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel."
"kjv","7","4","1","And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead."
"kjv","7","4","2","And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles."
"kjv","7","4","3","And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel."
"kjv","7","4","4","And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time."
"kjv","7","4","5","And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment."
"kjv","7","4","6","And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?"
"kjv","7","4","7","And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand."
"kjv","7","4","8","And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go."
"kjv","7","4","9","And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."
"kjv","7","4","10","And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him."
"kjv","7","4","11","Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh."
"kjv","7","4","12","And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor."
"kjv","7","4","13","And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon."
"kjv","7","4","14","And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."
"kjv","7","4","15","And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet."
"kjv","7","4","16","But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left."
"kjv","7","4","17","Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite."
"kjv","7","4","18","And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle."
"kjv","7","4","19","And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him."
"kjv","7","4","20","Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No."
"kjv","7","4","21","Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died."
"kjv","7","4","22","And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples."
"kjv","7","4","23","So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel."
"kjv","7","4","24","And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan."
"kjv","7","5","1","Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,"
"kjv","7","5","2","Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves."
"kjv","7","5","3","Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","7","5","4","LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water."
"kjv","7","5","5","The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","7","5","6","In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways."
"kjv","7","5","7","The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel."
"kjv","7","5","8","They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?"
"kjv","7","5","9","My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD."
"kjv","7","5","10","Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way."
"kjv","7","5","11","They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates."
"kjv","7","5","12","Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam."
"kjv","7","5","13","Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty."
"kjv","7","5","14","Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer."
"kjv","7","5","15","And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart."
"kjv","7","5","16","Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart."
"kjv","7","5","17","Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches."
"kjv","7","5","18","Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field."
"kjv","7","5","19","The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money."
"kjv","7","5","20","They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."
"kjv","7","5","21","The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength."
"kjv","7","5","22","Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones."
"kjv","7","5","23","Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty."
"kjv","7","5","24","Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent."
"kjv","7","5","25","He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish."
"kjv","7","5","26","She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples."
"kjv","7","5","27","At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead."
"kjv","7","5","28","The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?"
"kjv","7","5","29","Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,"
"kjv","7","5","30","Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?"
"kjv","7","5","31","So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years."
"kjv","7","6","1","And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years."
"kjv","7","6","2","And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds."
"kjv","7","6","3","And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;"
"kjv","7","6","4","And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass."
"kjv","7","6","5","For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it."
"kjv","7","6","6","And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD."
"kjv","7","6","7","And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,"
"kjv","7","6","8","That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;"
"kjv","7","6","9","And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;"
"kjv","7","6","10","And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice."
"kjv","7","6","11","And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites."
"kjv","7","6","12","And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour."
"kjv","7","6","13","And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites."
"kjv","7","6","14","And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?"
"kjv","7","6","15","And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house."
"kjv","7","6","16","And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man."
"kjv","7","6","17","And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me."
"kjv","7","6","18","Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again."
"kjv","7","6","19","And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it."
"kjv","7","6","20","And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so."
"kjv","7","6","21","Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight."
"kjv","7","6","22","And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face."
"kjv","7","6","23","And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die."
"kjv","7","6","24","Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."
"kjv","7","6","25","And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:"
"kjv","7","6","26","And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down."
"kjv","7","6","27","Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night."
"kjv","7","6","28","And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built."
"kjv","7","6","29","And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing."
"kjv","7","6","30","Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it."
"kjv","7","6","31","And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar."
"kjv","7","6","32","Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar."
"kjv","7","6","33","Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel."
"kjv","7","6","34","But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him."
"kjv","7","6","35","And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them."
"kjv","7","6","36","And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,"
"kjv","7","6","37","Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said."
"kjv","7","6","38","And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water."
"kjv","7","6","39","And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew."
"kjv","7","6","40","And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground."
"kjv","7","7","1","Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley."
"kjv","7","7","2","And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me."
"kjv","7","7","3","Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand."
"kjv","7","7","4","And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go."
"kjv","7","7","5","So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink."
"kjv","7","7","6","And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water."
"kjv","7","7","7","And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place."
"kjv","7","7","8","So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley."
"kjv","7","7","9","And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand."
"kjv","7","7","10","But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:"
"kjv","7","7","11","And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host."
"kjv","7","7","12","And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude."
"kjv","7","7","13","And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along."
"kjv","7","7","14","And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host."
"kjv","7","7","15","And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian."
"kjv","7","7","16","And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers."
"kjv","7","7","17","And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do."
"kjv","7","7","18","When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon."
"kjv","7","7","19","So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands."
"kjv","7","7","20","And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon."
"kjv","7","7","21","And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled."
"kjv","7","7","22","And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath."
"kjv","7","7","23","And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites."
"kjv","7","7","24","And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan."
"kjv","7","7","25","And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan."
"kjv","7","8","1","And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply."
"kjv","7","8","2","And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?"
"kjv","7","8","3","God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that."
"kjv","7","8","4","And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them."
"kjv","7","8","5","And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."
"kjv","7","8","6","And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?"
"kjv","7","8","7","And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
"kjv","7","8","8","And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him."
"kjv","7","8","9","And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower."
"kjv","7","8","10","Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword."
"kjv","7","8","11","And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure."
"kjv","7","8","12","And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host."
"kjv","7","8","13","And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,"
"kjv","7","8","14","And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men."
"kjv","7","8","15","And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?"
"kjv","7","8","16","And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth."
"kjv","7","8","17","And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city."
"kjv","7","8","18","Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king."
"kjv","7","8","19","And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you."
"kjv","7","8","20","And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth."
"kjv","7","8","21","Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks."
"kjv","7","8","22","Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian."
"kjv","7","8","23","And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you."
"kjv","7","8","24","And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)"
"kjv","7","8","25","And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey."
"kjv","7","8","26","And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks."
"kjv","7","8","27","And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house."
"kjv","7","8","28","Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon."
"kjv","7","8","29","And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house."
"kjv","7","8","30","And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives."
"kjv","7","8","31","And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech."
"kjv","7","8","32","And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."
"kjv","7","8","33","And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god."
"kjv","7","8","34","And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:"
"kjv","7","8","35","Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel."
"kjv","7","9","1","And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,"
"kjv","7","9","2","Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh."
"kjv","7","9","3","And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother."
"kjv","7","9","4","And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him."
"kjv","7","9","5","And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself."
"kjv","7","9","6","And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem."
"kjv","7","9","7","And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you."
"kjv","7","9","8","The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us."
"kjv","7","9","9","But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
"kjv","7","9","10","And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us."
"kjv","7","9","11","But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
"kjv","7","9","12","Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us."
"kjv","7","9","13","And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?"
"kjv","7","9","14","Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us."
"kjv","7","9","15","And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon."
"kjv","7","9","16","Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;"
"kjv","7","9","17","(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:"
"kjv","7","9","18","And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)"
"kjv","7","9","19","If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:"
"kjv","7","9","20","But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech."
"kjv","7","9","21","And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother."
"kjv","7","9","22","When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,"
"kjv","7","9","23","Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:"
"kjv","7","9","24","That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren."
"kjv","7","9","25","And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech."
"kjv","7","9","26","And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him."
"kjv","7","9","27","And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech."
"kjv","7","9","28","And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?"
"kjv","7","9","29","And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out."
"kjv","7","9","30","And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled."
"kjv","7","9","31","And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee."
"kjv","7","9","32","Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:"
"kjv","7","9","33","And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion."
"kjv","7","9","34","And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies."
"kjv","7","9","35","And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait."
"kjv","7","9","36","And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men."
"kjv","7","9","37","And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim."
"kjv","7","9","38","Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them."
"kjv","7","9","39","And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech."
"kjv","7","9","40","And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate."
"kjv","7","9","41","And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem."
"kjv","7","9","42","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech."
"kjv","7","9","43","And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them."
"kjv","7","9","44","And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them."
"kjv","7","9","45","And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt."
"kjv","7","9","46","And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith."
"kjv","7","9","47","And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together."
"kjv","7","9","48","And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an ax in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done."
"kjv","7","9","49","And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women."
"kjv","7","9","50","Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it."
"kjv","7","9","51","But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower."
"kjv","7","9","52","And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire."
"kjv","7","9","53","And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull."
"kjv","7","9","54","Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died."
"kjv","7","9","55","And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place."
"kjv","7","9","56","Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:"
"kjv","7","9","57","And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal."
"kjv","7","10","1","And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim."
"kjv","7","10","2","And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir."
"kjv","7","10","3","And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years."
"kjv","7","10","4","And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead."
"kjv","7","10","5","And Jair died, and was buried in Camon."
"kjv","7","10","6","And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him."
"kjv","7","10","7","And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon."
"kjv","7","10","8","And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead."
"kjv","7","10","9","Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed."
"kjv","7","10","10","And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim."
"kjv","7","10","11","And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?"
"kjv","7","10","12","The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand."
"kjv","7","10","13","Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more."
"kjv","7","10","14","Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation."
"kjv","7","10","15","And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day."
"kjv","7","10","16","And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel."
"kjv","7","10","17","Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh."
"kjv","7","10","18","And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
"kjv","7","11","1","Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah."
"kjv","7","11","2","And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman."
"kjv","7","11","3","Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him."
"kjv","7","11","4","And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel."
"kjv","7","11","5","And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:"
"kjv","7","11","6","And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon."
"kjv","7","11","7","And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?"
"kjv","7","11","8","And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
"kjv","7","11","9","And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?"
"kjv","7","11","10","And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words."
"kjv","7","11","11","Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh."
"kjv","7","11","12","And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?"
"kjv","7","11","13","And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably."
"kjv","7","11","14","And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:"
"kjv","7","11","15","And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:"
"kjv","7","11","16","But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;"
"kjv","7","11","17","Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh."
"kjv","7","11","18","Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab."
"kjv","7","11","19","And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place."
"kjv","7","11","20","But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel."
"kjv","7","11","21","And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country."
"kjv","7","11","22","And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan."
"kjv","7","11","23","So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?"
"kjv","7","11","24","Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess."
"kjv","7","11","25","And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,"
"kjv","7","11","26","While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?"
"kjv","7","11","27","Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon."
"kjv","7","11","28","Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him."
"kjv","7","11","29","Then the spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon."
"kjv","7","11","30","And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,"
"kjv","7","11","31","Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."
"kjv","7","11","32","So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands."
"kjv","7","11","33","And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel."
"kjv","7","11","34","And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter."
"kjv","7","11","35","And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back."
"kjv","7","11","36","And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon."
"kjv","7","11","37","And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows."
"kjv","7","11","38","And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains."
"kjv","7","11","39","And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,"
"kjv","7","11","40","That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year."
"kjv","7","12","1","And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire."
"kjv","7","12","2","And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands."
"kjv","7","12","3","And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?"
"kjv","7","12","4","Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites."
"kjv","7","12","5","And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;"
"kjv","7","12","6","Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."
"kjv","7","12","7","And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead."
"kjv","7","12","8","And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel."
"kjv","7","12","9","And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years."
"kjv","7","12","10","Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem."
"kjv","7","12","11","And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years."
"kjv","7","12","12","And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun."
"kjv","7","12","13","And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel."
"kjv","7","12","14","And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years."
"kjv","7","12","15","And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites."
"kjv","7","13","1","And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years."
"kjv","7","13","2","And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not."
"kjv","7","13","3","And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son."
"kjv","7","13","4","Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:"
"kjv","7","13","5","For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","7","13","6","Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:"
"kjv","7","13","7","But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death."
"kjv","7","13","8","Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born."
"kjv","7","13","9","And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her."
"kjv","7","13","10","And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day."
"kjv","7","13","11","And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am."
"kjv","7","13","12","And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?"
"kjv","7","13","13","And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware."
"kjv","7","13","14","She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe."
"kjv","7","13","15","And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee."
"kjv","7","13","16","And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD."
"kjv","7","13","17","And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?"
"kjv","7","13","18","And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?"
"kjv","7","13","19","So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on."
"kjv","7","13","20","For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground."
"kjv","7","13","21","But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD."
"kjv","7","13","22","And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God."
"kjv","7","13","23","But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these."
"kjv","7","13","24","And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him."
"kjv","7","13","25","And the spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol."
"kjv","7","14","1","And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines."
"kjv","7","14","2","And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife."
"kjv","7","14","3","Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well."
"kjv","7","14","4","But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel."
"kjv","7","14","5","Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him."
"kjv","7","14","6","And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done."
"kjv","7","14","7","And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well."
"kjv","7","14","8","And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion."
"kjv","7","14","9","And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion."
"kjv","7","14","10","So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do."
"kjv","7","14","11","And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him."
"kjv","7","14","12","And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:"
"kjv","7","14","13","But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it."
"kjv","7","14","14","And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle."
"kjv","7","14","15","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?"
"kjv","7","14","16","And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?"
"kjv","7","14","17","And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people."
"kjv","7","14","18","And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle."
"kjv","7","14","19","And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house."
"kjv","7","14","20","But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend."
"kjv","7","15","1","But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in."
"kjv","7","15","2","And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her."
"kjv","7","15","3","And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure."
"kjv","7","15","4","And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails."
"kjv","7","15","5","And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives."
"kjv","7","15","6","Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire."
"kjv","7","15","7","And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease."
"kjv","7","15","8","And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam."
"kjv","7","15","9","Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi."
"kjv","7","15","10","And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us."
"kjv","7","15","11","Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them."
"kjv","7","15","12","And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves."
"kjv","7","15","13","And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock."
"kjv","7","15","14","And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands."
"kjv","7","15","15","And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith."
"kjv","7","15","16","And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men."
"kjv","7","15","17","And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi."
"kjv","7","15","18","And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
"kjv","7","15","19","But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day."
"kjv","7","15","20","And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years."
"kjv","7","16","1","Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her."
"kjv","7","16","2","And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him."
"kjv","7","16","3","And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron."
"kjv","7","16","4","And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah."
"kjv","7","16","5","And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver."
"kjv","7","16","6","And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee."
"kjv","7","16","7","And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
"kjv","7","16","8","Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them."
"kjv","7","16","9","Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known."
"kjv","7","16","10","And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound."
"kjv","7","16","11","And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."
"kjv","7","16","12","Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread."
"kjv","7","16","13","And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web."
"kjv","7","16","14","And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web."
"kjv","7","16","15","And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth."
"kjv","7","16","16","And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;"
"kjv","7","16","17","That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
"kjv","7","16","18","And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand."
"kjv","7","16","19","And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him."
"kjv","7","16","20","And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him."
"kjv","7","16","21","But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house."
"kjv","7","16","22","Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven."
"kjv","7","16","23","Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
"kjv","7","16","24","And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us."
"kjv","7","16","25","And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars."
"kjv","7","16","26","And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them."
"kjv","7","16","27","Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport."
"kjv","7","16","28","And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."
"kjv","7","16","29","And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left."
"kjv","7","16","30","And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life."
"kjv","7","16","31","Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years."
"kjv","7","17","1","And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah."
"kjv","7","17","2","And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son."
"kjv","7","17","3","And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee."
"kjv","7","17","4","Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah."
"kjv","7","17","5","And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest."
"kjv","7","17","6","In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
"kjv","7","17","7","And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there."
"kjv","7","17","8","And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed."
"kjv","7","17","9","And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place."
"kjv","7","17","10","And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in."
"kjv","7","17","11","And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons."
"kjv","7","17","12","And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah."
"kjv","7","17","13","Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest."
"kjv","7","18","1","In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","7","18","2","And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there."
"kjv","7","18","3","When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?"
"kjv","7","18","4","And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest."
"kjv","7","18","5","And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
"kjv","7","18","6","And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go."
"kjv","7","18","7","Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man."
"kjv","7","18","8","And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?"
"kjv","7","18","9","And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land."
"kjv","7","18","10","When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth."
"kjv","7","18","11","And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war."
"kjv","7","18","12","And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim."
"kjv","7","18","13","And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah."
"kjv","7","18","14","Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do."
"kjv","7","18","15","And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him."
"kjv","7","18","16","And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate."
"kjv","7","18","17","And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war."
"kjv","7","18","18","And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?"
"kjv","7","18","19","And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?"
"kjv","7","18","20","And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people."
"kjv","7","18","21","So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them."
"kjv","7","18","22","And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan."
"kjv","7","18","23","And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?"
"kjv","7","18","24","And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?"
"kjv","7","18","25","And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household."
"kjv","7","18","26","And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house."
"kjv","7","18","27","And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire."
"kjv","7","18","28","And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein."
"kjv","7","18","29","And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first."
"kjv","7","18","30","And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land."
"kjv","7","18","31","And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh."
"kjv","7","19","1","And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah."
"kjv","7","19","2","And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months."
"kjv","7","19","3","And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him."
"kjv","7","19","4","And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there."
"kjv","7","19","5","And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way."
"kjv","7","19","6","And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry."
"kjv","7","19","7","And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again."
"kjv","7","19","8","And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them."
"kjv","7","19","9","And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home."
"kjv","7","19","10","But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him."
"kjv","7","19","11","And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it."
"kjv","7","19","12","And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah."
"kjv","7","19","13","And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah."
"kjv","7","19","14","And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin."
"kjv","7","19","15","And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging."
"kjv","7","19","16","And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites."
"kjv","7","19","17","And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?"
"kjv","7","19","18","And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house."
"kjv","7","19","19","Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing."
"kjv","7","19","20","And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street."
"kjv","7","19","21","So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink."
"kjv","7","19","22","Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him."
"kjv","7","19","23","And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly."
"kjv","7","19","24","Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing."
"kjv","7","19","25","But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go."
"kjv","7","19","26","Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light."
"kjv","7","19","27","And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold."
"kjv","7","19","28","And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place."
"kjv","7","19","29","And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel."
"kjv","7","19","30","And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds."
"kjv","7","20","1","Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh."
"kjv","7","20","2","And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword."
"kjv","7","20","3","(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?"
"kjv","7","20","4","And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge."
"kjv","7","20","5","And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead."
"kjv","7","20","6","And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel."
"kjv","7","20","7","Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel."
"kjv","7","20","8","And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house."
"kjv","7","20","9","But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;"
"kjv","7","20","10","And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel."
"kjv","7","20","11","So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man."
"kjv","7","20","12","And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?"
"kjv","7","20","13","Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:"
"kjv","7","20","14","But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel."
"kjv","7","20","15","And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men."
"kjv","7","20","16","Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss."
"kjv","7","20","17","And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war."
"kjv","7","20","18","And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first."
"kjv","7","20","19","And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah."
"kjv","7","20","20","And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah."
"kjv","7","20","21","And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men."
"kjv","7","20","22","And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day."
"kjv","7","20","23","(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)"
"kjv","7","20","24","And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day."
"kjv","7","20","25","And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword."
"kjv","7","20","26","Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD."
"kjv","7","20","27","And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,"
"kjv","7","20","28","And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand."
"kjv","7","20","29","And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah."
"kjv","7","20","30","And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times."
"kjv","7","20","31","And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel."
"kjv","7","20","32","And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways."
"kjv","7","20","33","And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah."
"kjv","7","20","34","And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them."
"kjv","7","20","35","And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword."
"kjv","7","20","36","So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah."
"kjv","7","20","37","And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","7","20","38","Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city."
"kjv","7","20","39","And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle."
"kjv","7","20","40","But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven."
"kjv","7","20","41","And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them."
"kjv","7","20","42","Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them."
"kjv","7","20","43","Thus they enclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising."
"kjv","7","20","44","And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour."
"kjv","7","20","45","And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them."
"kjv","7","20","46","So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour."
"kjv","7","20","47","But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months."
"kjv","7","20","48","And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to."
"kjv","7","21","1","Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife."
"kjv","7","21","2","And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;"
"kjv","7","21","3","And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?"
"kjv","7","21","4","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings."
"kjv","7","21","5","And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death."
"kjv","7","21","6","And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day."
"kjv","7","21","7","How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?"
"kjv","7","21","8","And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly."
"kjv","7","21","9","For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there."
"kjv","7","21","10","And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children."
"kjv","7","21","11","And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man."
"kjv","7","21","12","And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan."
"kjv","7","21","13","And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them."
"kjv","7","21","14","And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not."
"kjv","7","21","15","And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","7","21","16","Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"
"kjv","7","21","17","And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel."
"kjv","7","21","18","Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin."
"kjv","7","21","19","Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah."
"kjv","7","21","20","Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;"
"kjv","7","21","21","And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin."
"kjv","7","21","22","And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty."
"kjv","7","21","23","And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them."
"kjv","7","21","24","And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance."
"kjv","7","21","25","In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
"kjv","8","1","1","Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons."
"kjv","8","1","2","And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there."
"kjv","8","1","3","And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons."
"kjv","8","1","4","And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years."
"kjv","8","1","5","And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband."
"kjv","8","1","6","Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread."
"kjv","8","1","7","Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah."
"kjv","8","1","8","And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me."
"kjv","8","1","9","The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept."
"kjv","8","1","10","And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people."
"kjv","8","1","11","And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?"
"kjv","8","1","12","Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;"
"kjv","8","1","13","Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me."
"kjv","8","1","14","And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her."
"kjv","8","1","15","And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law."
"kjv","8","1","16","And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:"
"kjv","8","1","17","Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."
"kjv","8","1","18","When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her."
"kjv","8","1","19","So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?"
"kjv","8","1","20","And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me."
"kjv","8","1","21","I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?"
"kjv","8","1","22","So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest."
"kjv","8","2","1","And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz."
"kjv","8","2","2","And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter."
"kjv","8","2","3","And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech."
"kjv","8","2","4","And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee."
"kjv","8","2","5","Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?"
"kjv","8","2","6","And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:"
"kjv","8","2","7","And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house."
"kjv","8","2","8","Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:"
"kjv","8","2","9","Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn."
"kjv","8","2","10","Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?"
"kjv","8","2","11","And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore."
"kjv","8","2","12","The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust."
"kjv","8","2","13","Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens."
"kjv","8","2","14","And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left."
"kjv","8","2","15","And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:"
"kjv","8","2","16","And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not."
"kjv","8","2","17","So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley."
"kjv","8","2","18","And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed."
"kjv","8","2","19","And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz."
"kjv","8","2","20","And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen."
"kjv","8","2","21","And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest."
"kjv","8","2","22","And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field."
"kjv","8","2","23","So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law."
"kjv","8","3","1","Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?"
"kjv","8","3","2","And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor."
"kjv","8","3","3","Wash thy self therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking."
"kjv","8","3","4","And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do."
"kjv","8","3","5","And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do."
"kjv","8","3","6","And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her."
"kjv","8","3","7","And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down."
"kjv","8","3","8","And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet."
"kjv","8","3","9","And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman."
"kjv","8","3","10","And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich."
"kjv","8","3","11","And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman."
"kjv","8","3","12","And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I."
"kjv","8","3","13","Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning."
"kjv","8","3","14","And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor."
"kjv","8","3","15","Also he said, Bring the veil that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city."
"kjv","8","3","16","And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her."
"kjv","8","3","17","And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law."
"kjv","8","3","18","Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day."
"kjv","8","4","1","Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down."
"kjv","8","4","2","And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down."
"kjv","8","4","3","And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:"
"kjv","8","4","4","And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it."
"kjv","8","4","5","Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance."
"kjv","8","4","6","And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it."
"kjv","8","4","7","Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel."
"kjv","8","4","8","Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe."
"kjv","8","4","9","And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi."
"kjv","8","4","10","Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day."
"kjv","8","4","11","And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:"
"kjv","8","4","12","And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman."
"kjv","8","4","13","So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son."
"kjv","8","4","14","And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel."
"kjv","8","4","15","And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him."
"kjv","8","4","16","And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it."
"kjv","8","4","17","And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David."
"kjv","8","4","18","Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,"
"kjv","8","4","19","And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,"
"kjv","8","4","20","And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,"
"kjv","8","4","21","And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,"
"kjv","8","4","22","And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David."
"kjv","9","1","1","Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:"
"kjv","9","1","2","And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children."
"kjv","9","1","3","And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there."
"kjv","9","1","4","And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:"
"kjv","9","1","5","But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb."
"kjv","9","1","6","And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb."
"kjv","9","1","7","And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat."
"kjv","9","1","8","Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?"
"kjv","9","1","9","So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD."
"kjv","9","1","10","And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore."
"kjv","9","1","11","And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."
"kjv","9","1","12","And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth."
"kjv","9","1","13","Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken."
"kjv","9","1","14","And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee."
"kjv","9","1","15","And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD."
"kjv","9","1","16","Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto."
"kjv","9","1","17","Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him."
"kjv","9","1","18","And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad."
"kjv","9","1","19","And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her."
"kjv","9","1","20","Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD."
"kjv","9","1","21","And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow."
"kjv","9","1","22","But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever."
"kjv","9","1","23","And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him."
"kjv","9","1","24","And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young."
"kjv","9","1","25","And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli."
"kjv","9","1","26","And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","1","27","For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:"
"kjv","9","1","28","Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there."
"kjv","9","2","1","And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation."
"kjv","9","2","2","There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God."
"kjv","9","2","3","Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed."
"kjv","9","2","4","The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength."
"kjv","9","2","5","They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble."
"kjv","9","2","6","The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up."
"kjv","9","2","7","The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up."
"kjv","9","2","8","He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he hath set the world upon them."
"kjv","9","2","9","He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail."
"kjv","9","2","10","The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
"kjv","9","2","11","And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest."
"kjv","9","2","12","Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD."
"kjv","9","2","13","And the priests' custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;"
"kjv","9","2","14","And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that came thither."
"kjv","9","2","15","Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw."
"kjv","9","2","16","And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force."
"kjv","9","2","17","Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD."
"kjv","9","2","18","But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod."
"kjv","9","2","19","Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice."
"kjv","9","2","20","And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home."
"kjv","9","2","21","And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD."
"kjv","9","2","22","Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","9","2","23","And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people."
"kjv","9","2","24","Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord's people to transgress."
"kjv","9","2","25","If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them."
"kjv","9","2","26","And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men."
"kjv","9","2","27","And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?"
"kjv","9","2","28","And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?"
"kjv","9","2","29","Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?"
"kjv","9","2","30","Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed."
"kjv","9","2","31","Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house."
"kjv","9","2","32","And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever."
"kjv","9","2","33","And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age."
"kjv","9","2","34","And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them."
"kjv","9","2","35","And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever."
"kjv","9","2","36","And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread."
"kjv","9","3","1","And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision."
"kjv","9","3","2","And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;"
"kjv","9","3","3","And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;"
"kjv","9","3","4","That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I."
"kjv","9","3","5","And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down."
"kjv","9","3","6","And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again."
"kjv","9","3","7","Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him."
"kjv","9","3","8","And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child."
"kjv","9","3","9","Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place."
"kjv","9","3","10","And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth."
"kjv","9","3","11","And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle."
"kjv","9","3","12","In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end."
"kjv","9","3","13","For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not."
"kjv","9","3","14","And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever."
"kjv","9","3","15","And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision."
"kjv","9","3","16","Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I."
"kjv","9","3","17","And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee."
"kjv","9","3","18","And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good."
"kjv","9","3","19","And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground."
"kjv","9","3","20","And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD."
"kjv","9","3","21","And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD."
"kjv","9","4","1","And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek."
"kjv","9","4","2","And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men."
"kjv","9","4","3","And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies."
"kjv","9","4","4","So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God."
"kjv","9","4","5","And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again."
"kjv","9","4","6","And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp."
"kjv","9","4","7","And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore."
"kjv","9","4","8","Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness."
"kjv","9","4","9","Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight."
"kjv","9","4","10","And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen."
"kjv","9","4","11","And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain."
"kjv","9","4","12","And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head."
"kjv","9","4","13","And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out."
"kjv","9","4","14","And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli."
"kjv","9","4","15","Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see."
"kjv","9","4","16","And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?"
"kjv","9","4","17","And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken."
"kjv","9","4","18","And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
"kjv","9","4","19","And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her."
"kjv","9","4","20","And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it."
"kjv","9","4","21","And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband."
"kjv","9","4","22","And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken."
"kjv","9","5","1","And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod."
"kjv","9","5","2","When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon."
"kjv","9","5","3","And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again."
"kjv","9","5","4","And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him."
"kjv","9","5","5","Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day."
"kjv","9","5","6","But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof."
"kjv","9","5","7","And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god."
"kjv","9","5","8","They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither."
"kjv","9","5","9","And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts."
"kjv","9","5","10","Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people."
"kjv","9","5","11","So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there."
"kjv","9","5","12","And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven."
"kjv","9","6","1","And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months."
"kjv","9","6","2","And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place."
"kjv","9","6","3","And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you."
"kjv","9","6","4","Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords."
"kjv","9","6","5","Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land."
"kjv","9","6","6","Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?"
"kjv","9","6","7","Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:"
"kjv","9","6","8","And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go."
"kjv","9","6","9","And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us."
"kjv","9","6","10","And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:"
"kjv","9","6","11","And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods."
"kjv","9","6","12","And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh."
"kjv","9","6","13","And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it."
"kjv","9","6","14","And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","6","15","And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","6","16","And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day."
"kjv","9","6","17","And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;"
"kjv","9","6","18","And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite."
"kjv","9","6","19","And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter."
"kjv","9","6","20","And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?"
"kjv","9","6","21","And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you."
"kjv","9","7","1","And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD."
"kjv","9","7","2","And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD."
"kjv","9","7","3","And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","7","4","Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only."
"kjv","9","7","5","And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","7","6","And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh."
"kjv","9","7","7","And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","7","8","And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","7","9","And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him."
"kjv","9","7","10","And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel."
"kjv","9","7","11","And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar."
"kjv","9","7","12","Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us."
"kjv","9","7","13","So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel."
"kjv","9","7","14","And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites."
"kjv","9","7","15","And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life."
"kjv","9","7","16","And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places."
"kjv","9","7","17","And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","8","1","And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel."
"kjv","9","8","2","Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba."
"kjv","9","8","3","And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment."
"kjv","9","8","4","Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,"
"kjv","9","8","5","And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."
"kjv","9","8","6","But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","8","7","And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them."
"kjv","9","8","8","According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee."
"kjv","9","8","9","Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them."
"kjv","9","8","10","And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king."
"kjv","9","8","11","And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots."
"kjv","9","8","12","And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots."
"kjv","9","8","13","And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers."
"kjv","9","8","14","And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants."
"kjv","9","8","15","And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants."
"kjv","9","8","16","And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work."
"kjv","9","8","17","He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants."
"kjv","9","8","18","And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day."
"kjv","9","8","19","Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;"
"kjv","9","8","20","That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."
"kjv","9","8","21","And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD."
"kjv","9","8","22","And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city."
"kjv","9","9","1","Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power."
"kjv","9","9","2","And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people."
"kjv","9","9","3","And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses."
"kjv","9","9","4","And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not."
"kjv","9","9","5","And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us."
"kjv","9","9","6","And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go."
"kjv","9","9","7","Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?"
"kjv","9","9","8","And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way."
"kjv","9","9","9","(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"
"kjv","9","9","10","Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was."
"kjv","9","9","11","And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?"
"kjv","9","9","12","And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:"
"kjv","9","9","13","As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him."
"kjv","9","9","14","And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place."
"kjv","9","9","15","Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,"
"kjv","9","9","16","To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me."
"kjv","9","9","17","And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people."
"kjv","9","9","18","Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is."
"kjv","9","9","19","And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart."
"kjv","9","9","20","And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?"
"kjv","9","9","21","And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?"
"kjv","9","9","22","And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons."
"kjv","9","9","23","And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee."
"kjv","9","9","24","And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day."
"kjv","9","9","25","And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house."
"kjv","9","9","26","And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad."
"kjv","9","9","27","And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God."
"kjv","9","10","1","Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?"
"kjv","9","10","2","When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?"
"kjv","9","10","3","Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:"
"kjv","9","10","4","And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands."
"kjv","9","10","5","After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:"
"kjv","9","10","6","And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man."
"kjv","9","10","7","And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee."
"kjv","9","10","8","And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do."
"kjv","9","10","9","And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day."
"kjv","9","10","10","And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them."
"kjv","9","10","11","And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
"kjv","9","10","12","And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?"
"kjv","9","10","13","And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place."
"kjv","9","10","14","And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel."
"kjv","9","10","15","And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you."
"kjv","9","10","16","And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not."
"kjv","9","10","17","And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;"
"kjv","9","10","18","And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:"
"kjv","9","10","19","And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."
"kjv","9","10","20","And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken."
"kjv","9","10","21","When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found."
"kjv","9","10","22","Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff."
"kjv","9","10","23","And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward."
"kjv","9","10","24","And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king."
"kjv","9","10","25","Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house."
"kjv","9","10","26","And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched."
"kjv","9","10","27","But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace."
"kjv","9","11","1","Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee."
"kjv","9","11","2","And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel."
"kjv","9","11","3","And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee."
"kjv","9","11","4","Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept."
"kjv","9","11","5","And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh."
"kjv","9","11","6","And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly."
"kjv","9","11","7","And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent."
"kjv","9","11","8","And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand."
"kjv","9","11","9","And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad."
"kjv","9","11","10","Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you."
"kjv","9","11","11","And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together."
"kjv","9","11","12","And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death."
"kjv","9","11","13","And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel."
"kjv","9","11","14","Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
"kjv","9","11","15","And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly."
"kjv","9","12","1","And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you."
"kjv","9","12","2","And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day."
"kjv","9","12","3","Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you."
"kjv","9","12","4","And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand."
"kjv","9","12","5","And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness."
"kjv","9","12","6","And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","9","12","7","Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers."
"kjv","9","12","8","When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place."
"kjv","9","12","9","And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them."
"kjv","9","12","10","And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee."
"kjv","9","12","11","And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe."
"kjv","9","12","12","And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king."
"kjv","9","12","13","Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you."
"kjv","9","12","14","If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:"
"kjv","9","12","15","But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers."
"kjv","9","12","16","Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes."
"kjv","9","12","17","Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king."
"kjv","9","12","18","So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel."
"kjv","9","12","19","And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king."
"kjv","9","12","20","And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;"
"kjv","9","12","21","And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain."
"kjv","9","12","22","For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people."
"kjv","9","12","23","Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:"
"kjv","9","12","24","Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you."
"kjv","9","12","25","But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king."
"kjv","9","13","1","Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,"
"kjv","9","13","2","Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent."
"kjv","9","13","3","And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear."
"kjv","9","13","4","And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal."
"kjv","9","13","5","And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven."
"kjv","9","13","6","When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits."
"kjv","9","13","7","And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling."
"kjv","9","13","8","And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him."
"kjv","9","13","9","And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering."
"kjv","9","13","10","And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him."
"kjv","9","13","11","And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;"
"kjv","9","13","12","Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering."
"kjv","9","13","13","And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever."
"kjv","9","13","14","But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee."
"kjv","9","13","15","And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men."
"kjv","9","13","16","And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash."
"kjv","9","13","17","And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:"
"kjv","9","13","18","And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness."
"kjv","9","13","19","Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:"
"kjv","9","13","20","But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his ax, and his mattock."
"kjv","9","13","21","Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads."
"kjv","9","13","22","So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found."
"kjv","9","13","23","And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash."
"kjv","9","14","1","Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father."
"kjv","9","14","2","And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;"
"kjv","9","14","3","And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone."
"kjv","9","14","4","And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh."
"kjv","9","14","5","The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah."
"kjv","9","14","6","And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few."
"kjv","9","14","7","And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart."
"kjv","9","14","8","Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them."
"kjv","9","14","9","If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them."
"kjv","9","14","10","But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us."
"kjv","9","14","11","And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves."
"kjv","9","14","12","And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel."
"kjv","9","14","13","And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him."
"kjv","9","14","14","And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow."
"kjv","9","14","15","And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling."
"kjv","9","14","16","And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another."
"kjv","9","14","17","Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there."
"kjv","9","14","18","And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel."
"kjv","9","14","19","And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand."
"kjv","9","14","20","And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture."
"kjv","9","14","21","Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan."
"kjv","9","14","22","Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle."
"kjv","9","14","23","So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven."
"kjv","9","14","24","And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food."
"kjv","9","14","25","And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground."
"kjv","9","14","26","And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath."
"kjv","9","14","27","But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened."
"kjv","9","14","28","Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint."
"kjv","9","14","29","Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey."
"kjv","9","14","30","How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?"
"kjv","9","14","31","And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint."
"kjv","9","14","32","And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood."
"kjv","9","14","33","Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day."
"kjv","9","14","34","And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there."
"kjv","9","14","35","And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD."
"kjv","9","14","36","And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God."
"kjv","9","14","37","And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day."
"kjv","9","14","38","And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day."
"kjv","9","14","39","For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him."
"kjv","9","14","40","Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee."
"kjv","9","14","41","Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped."
"kjv","9","14","42","And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken."
"kjv","9","14","43","Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die."
"kjv","9","14","44","And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan."
"kjv","9","14","45","And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not."
"kjv","9","14","46","Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place."
"kjv","9","14","47","So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them."
"kjv","9","14","48","And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them."
"kjv","9","14","49","Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:"
"kjv","9","14","50","And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle."
"kjv","9","14","51","And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel."
"kjv","9","14","52","And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him."
"kjv","9","15","1","Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD."
"kjv","9","15","2","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt."
"kjv","9","15","3","Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
"kjv","9","15","4","And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah."
"kjv","9","15","5","And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley."
"kjv","9","15","6","And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites."
"kjv","9","15","7","And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt."
"kjv","9","15","8","And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","9","15","9","But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly."
"kjv","9","15","10","Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,"
"kjv","9","15","11","It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night."
"kjv","9","15","12","And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal."
"kjv","9","15","13","And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD."
"kjv","9","15","14","And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?"
"kjv","9","15","15","And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."
"kjv","9","15","16","Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on."
"kjv","9","15","17","And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?"
"kjv","9","15","18","And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed."
"kjv","9","15","19","Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?"
"kjv","9","15","20","And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites."
"kjv","9","15","21","But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal."
"kjv","9","15","22","And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams."
"kjv","9","15","23","For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king."
"kjv","9","15","24","And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice."
"kjv","9","15","25","Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD."
"kjv","9","15","26","And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel."
"kjv","9","15","27","And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent."
"kjv","9","15","28","And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou."
"kjv","9","15","29","And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent."
"kjv","9","15","30","Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God."
"kjv","9","15","31","So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD."
"kjv","9","15","32","Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past."
"kjv","9","15","33","And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal."
"kjv","9","15","34","Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul."
"kjv","9","15","35","And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel."
"kjv","9","16","1","And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons."
"kjv","9","16","2","And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD."
"kjv","9","16","3","And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee."
"kjv","9","16","4","And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?"
"kjv","9","16","5","And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice."
"kjv","9","16","6","And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him."
"kjv","9","16","7","But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
"kjv","9","16","8","Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this."
"kjv","9","16","9","Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this."
"kjv","9","16","10","Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these."
"kjv","9","16","11","And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither."
"kjv","9","16","12","And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he."
"kjv","9","16","13","Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah."
"kjv","9","16","14","But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him."
"kjv","9","16","15","And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee."
"kjv","9","16","16","Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well."
"kjv","9","16","17","And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me."
"kjv","9","16","18","Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him."
"kjv","9","16","19","Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep."
"kjv","9","16","20","And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul."
"kjv","9","16","21","And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer."
"kjv","9","16","22","And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight."
"kjv","9","16","23","And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him."
"kjv","9","17","1","Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim."
"kjv","9","17","2","And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines."
"kjv","9","17","3","And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them."
"kjv","9","17","4","And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span."
"kjv","9","17","5","And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass."
"kjv","9","17","6","And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders."
"kjv","9","17","7","And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him."
"kjv","9","17","8","And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me."
"kjv","9","17","9","If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us."
"kjv","9","17","10","And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."
"kjv","9","17","11","When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid."
"kjv","9","17","12","Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul."
"kjv","9","17","13","And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah."
"kjv","9","17","14","And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul."
"kjv","9","17","15","But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem."
"kjv","9","17","16","And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days."
"kjv","9","17","17","And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;"
"kjv","9","17","18","And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge."
"kjv","9","17","19","Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."
"kjv","9","17","20","And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle."
"kjv","9","17","21","For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army."
"kjv","9","17","22","And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren."
"kjv","9","17","23","And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them."
"kjv","9","17","24","And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid."
"kjv","9","17","25","And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel."
"kjv","9","17","26","And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
"kjv","9","17","27","And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him."
"kjv","9","17","28","And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle."
"kjv","9","17","29","And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
"kjv","9","17","30","And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner."
"kjv","9","17","31","And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him."
"kjv","9","17","32","And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
"kjv","9","17","33","And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
"kjv","9","17","34","And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:"
"kjv","9","17","35","And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him."
"kjv","9","17","36","Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God."
"kjv","9","17","37","David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee."
"kjv","9","17","38","And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail."
"kjv","9","17","39","And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him."
"kjv","9","17","40","And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine."
"kjv","9","17","41","And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him."
"kjv","9","17","42","And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance."
"kjv","9","17","43","And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods."
"kjv","9","17","44","And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field."
"kjv","9","17","45","Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied."
"kjv","9","17","46","This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel."
"kjv","9","17","47","And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands."
"kjv","9","17","48","And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine."
"kjv","9","17","49","And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth."
"kjv","9","17","50","So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David."
"kjv","9","17","51","Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled."
"kjv","9","17","52","And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron."
"kjv","9","17","53","And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents."
"kjv","9","17","54","And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent."
"kjv","9","17","55","And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell."
"kjv","9","17","56","And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is."
"kjv","9","17","57","And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand."
"kjv","9","17","58","And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
"kjv","9","18","1","And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul."
"kjv","9","18","2","And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house."
"kjv","9","18","3","Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul."
"kjv","9","18","4","And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle."
"kjv","9","18","5","And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants."
"kjv","9","18","6","And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of music."
"kjv","9","18","7","And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."
"kjv","9","18","8","And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?"
"kjv","9","18","9","And Saul eyed David from that day and forward."
"kjv","9","18","10","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand."
"kjv","9","18","11","And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice."
"kjv","9","18","12","And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul."
"kjv","9","18","13","Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people."
"kjv","9","18","14","And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him."
"kjv","9","18","15","Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him."
"kjv","9","18","16","But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them."
"kjv","9","18","17","And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him."
"kjv","9","18","18","And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?"
"kjv","9","18","19","But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife."
"kjv","9","18","20","And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him."
"kjv","9","18","21","And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain."
"kjv","9","18","22","And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law."
"kjv","9","18","23","And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?"
"kjv","9","18","24","And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David."
"kjv","9","18","25","And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","18","26","And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired."
"kjv","9","18","27","Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife."
"kjv","9","18","28","And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him."
"kjv","9","18","29","And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually."
"kjv","9","18","30","Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by."
"kjv","9","19","1","And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David."
"kjv","9","19","2","But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:"
"kjv","9","19","3","And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee."
"kjv","9","19","4","And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:"
"kjv","9","19","5","For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?"
"kjv","9","19","6","And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain."
"kjv","9","19","7","And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past."
"kjv","9","19","8","And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him."
"kjv","9","19","9","And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand."
"kjv","9","19","10","And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night."
"kjv","9","19","11","Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain."
"kjv","9","19","12","So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped."
"kjv","9","19","13","And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth."
"kjv","9","19","14","And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick."
"kjv","9","19","15","And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him."
"kjv","9","19","16","And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster."
"kjv","9","19","17","And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?"
"kjv","9","19","18","So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth."
"kjv","9","19","19","And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah."
"kjv","9","19","20","And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied."
"kjv","9","19","21","And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also."
"kjv","9","19","22","Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah."
"kjv","9","19","23","And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah."
"kjv","9","19","24","And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?"
"kjv","9","20","1","And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?"
"kjv","9","20","2","And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so."
"kjv","9","20","3","And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death."
"kjv","9","20","4","Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee."
"kjv","9","20","5","And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even."
"kjv","9","20","6","If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family."
"kjv","9","20","7","If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him."
"kjv","9","20","8","Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?"
"kjv","9","20","9","And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?"
"kjv","9","20","10","Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?"
"kjv","9","20","11","And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field."
"kjv","9","20","12","And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;"
"kjv","9","20","13","The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father."
"kjv","9","20","14","And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:"
"kjv","9","20","15","But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth."
"kjv","9","20","16","So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies."
"kjv","9","20","17","And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul."
"kjv","9","20","18","Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty."
"kjv","9","20","19","And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel."
"kjv","9","20","20","And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark."
"kjv","9","20","21","And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth."
"kjv","9","20","22","But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away."
"kjv","9","20","23","And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever."
"kjv","9","20","24","So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat."
"kjv","9","20","25","And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty."
"kjv","9","20","26","Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean."
"kjv","9","20","27","And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?"
"kjv","9","20","28","And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:"
"kjv","9","20","29","And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table."
"kjv","9","20","30","Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?"
"kjv","9","20","31","For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die."
"kjv","9","20","32","And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?"
"kjv","9","20","33","And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David."
"kjv","9","20","34","So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame."
"kjv","9","20","35","And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him."
"kjv","9","20","36","And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him."
"kjv","9","20","37","And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?"
"kjv","9","20","38","And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master."
"kjv","9","20","39","But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter."
"kjv","9","20","40","And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city."
"kjv","9","20","41","And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded."
"kjv","9","20","42","And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city."
"kjv","9","21","1","Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?"
"kjv","9","21","2","And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place."
"kjv","9","21","3","Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present."
"kjv","9","21","4","And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women."
"kjv","9","21","5","And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel."
"kjv","9","21","6","So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away."
"kjv","9","21","7","Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul."
"kjv","9","21","8","And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."
"kjv","9","21","9","And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me."
"kjv","9","21","10","And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath."
"kjv","9","21","11","And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?"
"kjv","9","21","12","And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath."
"kjv","9","21","13","And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard."
"kjv","9","21","14","Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?"
"kjv","9","21","15","Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?"
"kjv","9","22","1","David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him."
"kjv","9","22","2","And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men."
"kjv","9","22","3","And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me."
"kjv","9","22","4","And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold."
"kjv","9","22","5","And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth."
"kjv","9","22","6","When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)"
"kjv","9","22","7","Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;"
"kjv","9","22","8","That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
"kjv","9","22","9","Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub."
"kjv","9","22","10","And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
"kjv","9","22","11","Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king."
"kjv","9","22","12","And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord."
"kjv","9","22","13","And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
"kjv","9","22","14","Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?"
"kjv","9","22","15","Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more."
"kjv","9","22","16","And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house."
"kjv","9","22","17","And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD."
"kjv","9","22","18","And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod."
"kjv","9","22","19","And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","9","22","20","And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David."
"kjv","9","22","21","And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests."
"kjv","9","22","22","And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house."
"kjv","9","22","23","Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard."
"kjv","9","23","1","Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors."
"kjv","9","23","2","Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah."
"kjv","9","23","3","And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
"kjv","9","23","4","Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah: for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand."
"kjv","9","23","5","So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah."
"kjv","9","23","6","And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand."
"kjv","9","23","7","And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars."
"kjv","9","23","8","And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men."
"kjv","9","23","9","And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod."
"kjv","9","23","10","Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake."
"kjv","9","23","11","Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down."
"kjv","9","23","12","Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up."
"kjv","9","23","13","Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth."
"kjv","9","23","14","And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand."
"kjv","9","23","15","And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood."
"kjv","9","23","16","And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God."
"kjv","9","23","17","And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth."
"kjv","9","23","18","And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house."
"kjv","9","23","19","Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?"
"kjv","9","23","20","Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand."
"kjv","9","23","21","And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me."
"kjv","9","23","22","Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtly."
"kjv","9","23","23","See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah."
"kjv","9","23","24","And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon."
"kjv","9","23","25","Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon."
"kjv","9","23","26","And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them."
"kjv","9","23","27","But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land."
"kjv","9","23","28","Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth."
"kjv","9","23","29","And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi."
"kjv","9","24","1","And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi."
"kjv","9","24","2","Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats."
"kjv","9","24","3","And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave."
"kjv","9","24","4","And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily."
"kjv","9","24","5","And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt."
"kjv","9","24","6","And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."
"kjv","9","24","7","So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way."
"kjv","9","24","8","David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself."
"kjv","9","24","9","And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?"
"kjv","9","24","10","Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed."
"kjv","9","24","11","Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it."
"kjv","9","24","12","The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee."
"kjv","9","24","13","As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee."
"kjv","9","24","14","After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea."
"kjv","9","24","15","The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand."
"kjv","9","24","16","And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept."
"kjv","9","24","17","And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil."
"kjv","9","24","18","And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not."
"kjv","9","24","19","For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day."
"kjv","9","24","20","And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand."
"kjv","9","24","21","Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house."
"kjv","9","24","22","And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold."
"kjv","9","25","1","And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran."
"kjv","9","25","2","And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel."
"kjv","9","25","3","Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb."
"kjv","9","25","4","And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep."
"kjv","9","25","5","And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:"
"kjv","9","25","6","And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast."
"kjv","9","25","7","And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel."
"kjv","9","25","8","Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David."
"kjv","9","25","9","And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased."
"kjv","9","25","10","And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master."
"kjv","9","25","11","Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?"
"kjv","9","25","12","So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings."
"kjv","9","25","13","And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff."
"kjv","9","25","14","But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them."
"kjv","9","25","15","But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:"
"kjv","9","25","16","They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep."
"kjv","9","25","17","Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him."
"kjv","9","25","18","Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses."
"kjv","9","25","19","And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal."
"kjv","9","25","20","And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them."
"kjv","9","25","21","Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good."
"kjv","9","25","22","So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall."
"kjv","9","25","23","And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,"
"kjv","9","25","24","And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid."
"kjv","9","25","25","Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send."
"kjv","9","25","26","Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal."
"kjv","9","25","27","And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord."
"kjv","9","25","28","I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days."
"kjv","9","25","29","Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling."
"kjv","9","25","30","And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;"
"kjv","9","25","31","That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid."
"kjv","9","25","32","And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:"
"kjv","9","25","33","And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand."
"kjv","9","25","34","For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall."
"kjv","9","25","35","So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person."
"kjv","9","25","36","And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light."
"kjv","9","25","37","But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone."
"kjv","9","25","38","And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died."
"kjv","9","25","39","And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife."
"kjv","9","25","40","And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife."
"kjv","9","25","41","And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."
"kjv","9","25","42","And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife."
"kjv","9","25","43","David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives."
"kjv","9","25","44","But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim."
"kjv","9","26","1","And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?"
"kjv","9","26","2","Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph."
"kjv","9","26","3","And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness."
"kjv","9","26","4","David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed."
"kjv","9","26","5","And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him."
"kjv","9","26","6","Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee."
"kjv","9","26","7","So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him."
"kjv","9","26","8","Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time."
"kjv","9","26","9","And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?"
"kjv","9","26","10","David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish."
"kjv","9","26","11","The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go."
"kjv","9","26","12","So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them."
"kjv","9","26","13","Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:"
"kjv","9","26","14","And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?"
"kjv","9","26","15","And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord."
"kjv","9","26","16","This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster."
"kjv","9","26","17","And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king."
"kjv","9","26","18","And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?"
"kjv","9","26","19","Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods."
"kjv","9","26","20","Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains."
"kjv","9","26","21","Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."
"kjv","9","26","22","And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it."
"kjv","9","26","23","The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed."
"kjv","9","26","24","And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation."
"kjv","9","26","25","Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place."
"kjv","9","27","1","And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand."
"kjv","9","27","2","And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath."
"kjv","9","27","3","And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife."
"kjv","9","27","4","And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him."
"kjv","9","27","5","And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?"
"kjv","9","27","6","Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day."
"kjv","9","27","7","And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months."
"kjv","9","27","8","And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt."
"kjv","9","27","9","And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish."
"kjv","9","27","10","And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites."
"kjv","9","27","11","And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","27","12","And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever."
"kjv","9","28","1","And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men."
"kjv","9","28","2","And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever."
"kjv","9","28","3","Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land."
"kjv","9","28","4","And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa."
"kjv","9","28","5","And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled."
"kjv","9","28","6","And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets."
"kjv","9","28","7","Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor."
"kjv","9","28","8","And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee."
"kjv","9","28","9","And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"
"kjv","9","28","10","And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing."
"kjv","9","28","11","Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel."
"kjv","9","28","12","And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul."
"kjv","9","28","13","And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth."
"kjv","9","28","14","And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself."
"kjv","9","28","15","And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do."
"kjv","9","28","16","Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?"
"kjv","9","28","17","And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:"
"kjv","9","28","18","Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day."
"kjv","9","28","19","Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","28","20","Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night."
"kjv","9","28","21","And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me."
"kjv","9","28","22","Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way."
"kjv","9","28","23","But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed."
"kjv","9","28","24","And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:"
"kjv","9","28","25","And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night."
"kjv","9","29","1","Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel."
"kjv","9","29","2","And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish."
"kjv","9","29","3","Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?"
"kjv","9","29","4","And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?"
"kjv","9","29","5","Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?"
"kjv","9","29","6","Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not."
"kjv","9","29","7","Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines."
"kjv","9","29","8","And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"
"kjv","9","29","9","And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle."
"kjv","9","29","10","Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart."
"kjv","9","29","11","So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel."
"kjv","9","30","1","And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;"
"kjv","9","30","2","And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way."
"kjv","9","30","3","So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives."
"kjv","9","30","4","Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep."
"kjv","9","30","5","And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite."
"kjv","9","30","6","And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God."
"kjv","9","30","7","And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David."
"kjv","9","30","8","And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all."
"kjv","9","30","9","So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed."
"kjv","9","30","10","But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor."
"kjv","9","30","11","And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;"
"kjv","9","30","12","And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights."
"kjv","9","30","13","And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick."
"kjv","9","30","14","We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
"kjv","9","30","15","And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company."
"kjv","9","30","16","And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah."
"kjv","9","30","17","And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled."
"kjv","9","30","18","And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives."
"kjv","9","30","19","And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all."
"kjv","9","30","20","And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil."
"kjv","9","30","21","And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them."
"kjv","9","30","22","Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart."
"kjv","9","30","23","Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand."
"kjv","9","30","24","For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike."
"kjv","9","30","25","And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day."
"kjv","9","30","26","And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;"
"kjv","9","30","27","To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,"
"kjv","9","30","28","And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,"
"kjv","9","30","29","And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,"
"kjv","9","30","30","And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,"
"kjv","9","30","31","And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt."
"kjv","9","31","1","Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa."
"kjv","9","31","2","And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons."
"kjv","9","31","3","And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers."
"kjv","9","31","4","Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it."
"kjv","9","31","5","And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him."
"kjv","9","31","6","So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together."
"kjv","9","31","7","And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them."
"kjv","9","31","8","And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa."
"kjv","9","31","9","And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people."
"kjv","9","31","10","And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan."
"kjv","9","31","11","And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;"
"kjv","9","31","12","All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there."
"kjv","9","31","13","And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days."
"kjv","10","1","1","Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;"
"kjv","10","1","2","It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance."
"kjv","10","1","3","And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped."
"kjv","10","1","4","And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."
"kjv","10","1","5","And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?"
"kjv","10","1","6","And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him."
"kjv","10","1","7","And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I."
"kjv","10","1","8","And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite."
"kjv","10","1","9","He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me."
"kjv","10","1","10","So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord."
"kjv","10","1","11","Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:"
"kjv","10","1","12","And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword."
"kjv","10","1","13","And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite."
"kjv","10","1","14","And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"
"kjv","10","1","15","And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died."
"kjv","10","1","16","And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S anointed."
"kjv","10","1","17","And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:"
"kjv","10","1","18","(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)"
"kjv","10","1","19","The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!"
"kjv","10","1","20","Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph."
"kjv","10","1","21","Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil."
"kjv","10","1","22","From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty."
"kjv","10","1","23","Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions."
"kjv","10","1","24","Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel."
"kjv","10","1","25","How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places."
"kjv","10","1","26","I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."
"kjv","10","1","27","How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!"
"kjv","10","2","1","And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron."
"kjv","10","2","2","So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite."
"kjv","10","2","3","And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron."
"kjv","10","2","4","And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul."
"kjv","10","2","5","And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him."
"kjv","10","2","6","And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing."
"kjv","10","2","7","Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them."
"kjv","10","2","8","But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;"
"kjv","10","2","9","And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel."
"kjv","10","2","10","Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David."
"kjv","10","2","11","And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months."
"kjv","10","2","12","And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon."
"kjv","10","2","13","And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool."
"kjv","10","2","14","And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise."
"kjv","10","2","15","Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David."
"kjv","10","2","16","And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon."
"kjv","10","2","17","And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David."
"kjv","10","2","18","And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe."
"kjv","10","2","19","And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner."
"kjv","10","2","20","Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am."
"kjv","10","2","21","And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him."
"kjv","10","2","22","And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?"
"kjv","10","2","23","Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still."
"kjv","10","2","24","Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon."
"kjv","10","2","25","And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill."
"kjv","10","2","26","Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?"
"kjv","10","2","27","And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother."
"kjv","10","2","28","So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more."
"kjv","10","2","29","And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim."
"kjv","10","2","30","And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel."
"kjv","10","2","31","But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died."
"kjv","10","2","32","And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day."
"kjv","10","3","1","Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker."
"kjv","10","3","2","And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;"
"kjv","10","3","3","And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;"
"kjv","10","3","4","And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;"
"kjv","10","3","5","And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron."
"kjv","10","3","6","And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul."
"kjv","10","3","7","And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?"
"kjv","10","3","8","Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?"
"kjv","10","3","9","So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;"
"kjv","10","3","10","To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
"kjv","10","3","11","And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him."
"kjv","10","3","12","And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee."
"kjv","10","3","13","And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face."
"kjv","10","3","14","And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
"kjv","10","3","15","And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish."
"kjv","10","3","16","And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned."
"kjv","10","3","17","And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:"
"kjv","10","3","18","Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies."
"kjv","10","3","19","And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin."
"kjv","10","3","20","So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast."
"kjv","10","3","21","And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace."
"kjv","10","3","22","And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace."
"kjv","10","3","23","When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace."
"kjv","10","3","24","Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?"
"kjv","10","3","25","Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest."
"kjv","10","3","26","And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not."
"kjv","10","3","27","And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother."
"kjv","10","3","28","And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:"
"kjv","10","3","29","Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread."
"kjv","10","3","30","So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle."
"kjv","10","3","31","And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier."
"kjv","10","3","32","And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept."
"kjv","10","3","33","And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?"
"kjv","10","3","34","Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him."
"kjv","10","3","35","And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down."
"kjv","10","3","36","And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people."
"kjv","10","3","37","For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner."
"kjv","10","3","38","And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"
"kjv","10","3","39","And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness."
"kjv","10","4","1","And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled."
"kjv","10","4","2","And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin."
"kjv","10","4","3","And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)"
"kjv","10","4","4","And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth."
"kjv","10","4","5","And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon."
"kjv","10","4","6","And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped."
"kjv","10","4","7","For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night."
"kjv","10","4","8","And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed."
"kjv","10","4","9","And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,"
"kjv","10","4","10","When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:"
"kjv","10","4","11","How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
"kjv","10","4","12","And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron."
"kjv","10","5","1","Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh."
"kjv","10","5","2","Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel."
"kjv","10","5","3","So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel."
"kjv","10","5","4","David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years."
"kjv","10","5","5","In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah."
"kjv","10","5","6","And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither."
"kjv","10","5","7","Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David."
"kjv","10","5","8","And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house."
"kjv","10","5","9","So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward."
"kjv","10","5","10","And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him."
"kjv","10","5","11","And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house."
"kjv","10","5","12","And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake."
"kjv","10","5","13","And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David."
"kjv","10","5","14","And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,"
"kjv","10","5","15","Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,"
"kjv","10","5","16","And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet."
"kjv","10","5","17","But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold."
"kjv","10","5","18","The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim."
"kjv","10","5","19","And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand."
"kjv","10","5","20","And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim."
"kjv","10","5","21","And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them."
"kjv","10","5","22","And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim."
"kjv","10","5","23","And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees."
"kjv","10","5","24","And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines."
"kjv","10","5","25","And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer."
"kjv","10","6","1","Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand."
"kjv","10","6","2","And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims."
"kjv","10","6","3","And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart."
"kjv","10","6","4","And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark."
"kjv","10","6","5","And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals."
"kjv","10","6","6","And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it."
"kjv","10","6","7","And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God."
"kjv","10","6","8","And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day."
"kjv","10","6","9","And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?"
"kjv","10","6","10","So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite."
"kjv","10","6","11","And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household."
"kjv","10","6","12","And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness."
"kjv","10","6","13","And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings."
"kjv","10","6","14","And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod."
"kjv","10","6","15","So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet."
"kjv","10","6","16","And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart."
"kjv","10","6","17","And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD."
"kjv","10","6","18","And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","10","6","19","And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house."
"kjv","10","6","20","Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!"
"kjv","10","6","21","And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD."
"kjv","10","6","22","And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour."
"kjv","10","6","23","Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death."
"kjv","10","7","1","And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;"
"kjv","10","7","2","That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains."
"kjv","10","7","3","And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee."
"kjv","10","7","4","And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,"
"kjv","10","7","5","Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?"
"kjv","10","7","6","Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle."
"kjv","10","7","7","In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?"
"kjv","10","7","8","Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:"
"kjv","10","7","9","And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth."
"kjv","10","7","10","Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,"
"kjv","10","7","11","And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house."
"kjv","10","7","12","And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom."
"kjv","10","7","13","He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever."
"kjv","10","7","14","I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:"
"kjv","10","7","15","But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee."
"kjv","10","7","16","And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever."
"kjv","10","7","17","According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David."
"kjv","10","7","18","Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?"
"kjv","10","7","19","And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?"
"kjv","10","7","20","And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant."
"kjv","10","7","21","For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them."
"kjv","10","7","22","Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears."
"kjv","10","7","23","And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?"
"kjv","10","7","24","For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God."
"kjv","10","7","25","And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said."
"kjv","10","7","26","And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee."
"kjv","10","7","27","For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee."
"kjv","10","7","28","And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:"
"kjv","10","7","29","Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever."
"kjv","10","8","1","And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","10","8","2","And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts."
"kjv","10","8","3","David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates."
"kjv","10","8","4","And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots."
"kjv","10","8","5","And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men."
"kjv","10","8","6","Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went."
"kjv","10","8","7","And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","8","8","And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass."
"kjv","10","8","9","When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,"
"kjv","10","8","10","Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:"
"kjv","10","8","11","Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;"
"kjv","10","8","12","Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah."
"kjv","10","8","13","And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men."
"kjv","10","8","14","And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went."
"kjv","10","8","15","And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people."
"kjv","10","8","16","And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;"
"kjv","10","8","17","And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;"
"kjv","10","8","18","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers."
"kjv","10","9","1","And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
"kjv","10","9","2","And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he."
"kjv","10","9","3","And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet."
"kjv","10","9","4","And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar."
"kjv","10","9","5","Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar."
"kjv","10","9","6","Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!"
"kjv","10","9","7","And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually."
"kjv","10","9","8","And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?"
"kjv","10","9","9","Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house."
"kjv","10","9","10","Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants."
"kjv","10","9","11","Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons."
"kjv","10","9","12","And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth."
"kjv","10","9","13","So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet."
"kjv","10","10","1","And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","10","10","2","Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon."
"kjv","10","10","3","And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
"kjv","10","10","4","Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away."
"kjv","10","10","5","When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return."
"kjv","10","10","6","And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men."
"kjv","10","10","7","And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men."
"kjv","10","10","8","And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field."
"kjv","10","10","9","When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:"
"kjv","10","10","10","And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon."
"kjv","10","10","11","And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee."
"kjv","10","10","12","Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good."
"kjv","10","10","13","And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him."
"kjv","10","10","14","And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","10","15","And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together."
"kjv","10","10","16","And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them."
"kjv","10","10","17","And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him."
"kjv","10","10","18","And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there."
"kjv","10","10","19","And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more."
"kjv","10","11","1","And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","11","2","And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon."
"kjv","10","11","3","And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"
"kjv","10","11","4","And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house."
"kjv","10","11","5","And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child."
"kjv","10","11","6","And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David."
"kjv","10","11","7","And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered."
"kjv","10","11","8","And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king."
"kjv","10","11","9","But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house."
"kjv","10","11","10","And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?"
"kjv","10","11","11","And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing."
"kjv","10","11","12","And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow."
"kjv","10","11","13","And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house."
"kjv","10","11","14","And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah."
"kjv","10","11","15","And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die."
"kjv","10","11","16","And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were."
"kjv","10","11","17","And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also."
"kjv","10","11","18","Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;"
"kjv","10","11","19","And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,"
"kjv","10","11","20","And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?"
"kjv","10","11","21","Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."
"kjv","10","11","22","So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for."
"kjv","10","11","23","And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate."
"kjv","10","11","24","And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."
"kjv","10","11","25","Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him."
"kjv","10","11","26","And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband."
"kjv","10","11","27","And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD."
"kjv","10","12","1","And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor."
"kjv","10","12","2","The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:"
"kjv","10","12","3","But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter."
"kjv","10","12","4","And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him."
"kjv","10","12","5","And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:"
"kjv","10","12","6","And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."
"kjv","10","12","7","And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;"
"kjv","10","12","8","And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things."
"kjv","10","12","9","Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon."
"kjv","10","12","10","Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife."
"kjv","10","12","11","Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun."
"kjv","10","12","12","For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun."
"kjv","10","12","13","And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die."
"kjv","10","12","14","Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die."
"kjv","10","12","15","And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick."
"kjv","10","12","16","David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth."
"kjv","10","12","17","And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them."
"kjv","10","12","18","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?"
"kjv","10","12","19","But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead."
"kjv","10","12","20","Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat."
"kjv","10","12","21","Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread."
"kjv","10","12","22","And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?"
"kjv","10","12","23","But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."
"kjv","10","12","24","And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him."
"kjv","10","12","25","And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD."
"kjv","10","12","26","And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city."
"kjv","10","12","27","And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters."
"kjv","10","12","28","Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name."
"kjv","10","12","29","And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it."
"kjv","10","12","30","And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance."
"kjv","10","12","31","And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","13","1","And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her."
"kjv","10","13","2","And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her."
"kjv","10","13","3","But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtle man."
"kjv","10","13","4","And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister."
"kjv","10","13","5","And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand."
"kjv","10","13","6","So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand."
"kjv","10","13","7","Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat."
"kjv","10","13","8","So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes."
"kjv","10","13","9","And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him."
"kjv","10","13","10","And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother."
"kjv","10","13","11","And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister."
"kjv","10","13","12","And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly."
"kjv","10","13","13","And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee."
"kjv","10","13","14","Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her."
"kjv","10","13","15","Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone."
"kjv","10","13","16","And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her."
"kjv","10","13","17","Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her."
"kjv","10","13","18","And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her."
"kjv","10","13","19","And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying."
"kjv","10","13","20","And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house."
"kjv","10","13","21","But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth."
"kjv","10","13","22","And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar."
"kjv","10","13","23","And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons."
"kjv","10","13","24","And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant."
"kjv","10","13","25","And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him."
"kjv","10","13","26","Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?"
"kjv","10","13","27","But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him."
"kjv","10","13","28","Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant."
"kjv","10","13","29","And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled."
"kjv","10","13","30","And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left."
"kjv","10","13","31","Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent."
"kjv","10","13","32","And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar."
"kjv","10","13","33","Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead."
"kjv","10","13","34","But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him."
"kjv","10","13","35","And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is."
"kjv","10","13","36","And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore."
"kjv","10","13","37","But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day."
"kjv","10","13","38","So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years."
"kjv","10","13","39","And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead."
"kjv","10","14","1","Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom."
"kjv","10","14","2","And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:"
"kjv","10","14","3","And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth."
"kjv","10","14","4","And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king."
"kjv","10","14","5","And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead."
"kjv","10","14","6","And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him."
"kjv","10","14","7","And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth."
"kjv","10","14","8","And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee."
"kjv","10","14","9","And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless."
"kjv","10","14","10","And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more."
"kjv","10","14","11","Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth."
"kjv","10","14","12","Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on."
"kjv","10","14","13","And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished."
"kjv","10","14","14","For we must needs die, and are as water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him."
"kjv","10","14","15","Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid."
"kjv","10","14","16","For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God."
"kjv","10","14","17","Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee."
"kjv","10","14","18","Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak."
"kjv","10","14","19","And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:"
"kjv","10","14","20","To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth."
"kjv","10","14","21","And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again."
"kjv","10","14","22","And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant."
"kjv","10","14","23","So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","14","24","And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face."
"kjv","10","14","25","But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him."
"kjv","10","14","26","And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight."
"kjv","10","14","27","And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance."
"kjv","10","14","28","So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face."
"kjv","10","14","29","Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come."
"kjv","10","14","30","Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire."
"kjv","10","14","31","Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?"
"kjv","10","14","32","And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me."
"kjv","10","14","33","So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom."
"kjv","10","15","1","And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him."
"kjv","10","15","2","And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","10","15","3","And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee."
"kjv","10","15","4","Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!"
"kjv","10","15","5","And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him."
"kjv","10","15","6","And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel."
"kjv","10","15","7","And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron."
"kjv","10","15","8","For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD."
"kjv","10","15","9","And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron."
"kjv","10","15","10","But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron."
"kjv","10","15","11","And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing."
"kjv","10","15","12","And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom."
"kjv","10","15","13","And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
"kjv","10","15","14","And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."
"kjv","10","15","15","And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint."
"kjv","10","15","16","And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house."
"kjv","10","15","17","And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off."
"kjv","10","15","18","And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king."
"kjv","10","15","19","Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile."
"kjv","10","15","20","Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee."
"kjv","10","15","21","And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be."
"kjv","10","15","22","And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him."
"kjv","10","15","23","And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness."
"kjv","10","15","24","And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city."
"kjv","10","15","25","And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:"
"kjv","10","15","26","But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him."
"kjv","10","15","27","The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar."
"kjv","10","15","28","See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me."
"kjv","10","15","29","Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there."
"kjv","10","15","30","And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up."
"kjv","10","15","31","And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
"kjv","10","15","32","And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:"
"kjv","10","15","33","Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:"
"kjv","10","15","34","But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel."
"kjv","10","15","35","And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests."
"kjv","10","15","36","Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear."
"kjv","10","15","37","So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","16","1","And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine."
"kjv","10","16","2","And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink."
"kjv","10","16","3","And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father."
"kjv","10","16","4","Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king."
"kjv","10","16","5","And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came."
"kjv","10","16","6","And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left."
"kjv","10","16","7","And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:"
"kjv","10","16","8","The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man."
"kjv","10","16","9","Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head."
"kjv","10","16","10","And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?"
"kjv","10","16","11","And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him."
"kjv","10","16","12","It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day."
"kjv","10","16","13","And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust."
"kjv","10","16","14","And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there."
"kjv","10","16","15","And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him."
"kjv","10","16","16","And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king."
"kjv","10","16","17","And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?"
"kjv","10","16","18","And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide."
"kjv","10","16","19","And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence."
"kjv","10","16","20","Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do."
"kjv","10","16","21","And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong."
"kjv","10","16","22","So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel."
"kjv","10","16","23","And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom."
"kjv","10","17","1","Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:"
"kjv","10","17","2","And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:"
"kjv","10","17","3","And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace."
"kjv","10","17","4","And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel."
"kjv","10","17","5","Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith."
"kjv","10","17","6","And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou."
"kjv","10","17","7","And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time."
"kjv","10","17","8","For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people."
"kjv","10","17","9","Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom."
"kjv","10","17","10","And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men."
"kjv","10","17","11","Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person."
"kjv","10","17","12","So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one."
"kjv","10","17","13","Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there."
"kjv","10","17","14","And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom."
"kjv","10","17","15","Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled."
"kjv","10","17","16","Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him."
"kjv","10","17","17","Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David."
"kjv","10","17","18","Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down."
"kjv","10","17","19","And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known."
"kjv","10","17","20","And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","17","21","And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you."
"kjv","10","17","22","Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan."
"kjv","10","17","23","And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father."
"kjv","10","17","24","Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him."
"kjv","10","17","25","And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother."
"kjv","10","17","26","So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead."
"kjv","10","17","27","And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,"
"kjv","10","17","28","Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse,"
"kjv","10","17","29","And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness."
"kjv","10","18","1","And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them."
"kjv","10","18","2","And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also."
"kjv","10","18","3","But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city."
"kjv","10","18","4","And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands."
"kjv","10","18","5","And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom."
"kjv","10","18","6","So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;"
"kjv","10","18","7","Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men."
"kjv","10","18","8","For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured."
"kjv","10","18","9","And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away."
"kjv","10","18","10","And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak."
"kjv","10","18","11","And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? And I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle."
"kjv","10","18","12","And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom."
"kjv","10","18","13","Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me."
"kjv","10","18","14","Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak."
"kjv","10","18","15","And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him."
"kjv","10","18","16","And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people."
"kjv","10","18","17","And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent."
"kjv","10","18","18","Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place."
"kjv","10","18","19","Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies."
"kjv","10","18","20","And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead."
"kjv","10","18","21","Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran."
"kjv","10","18","22","Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?"
"kjv","10","18","23","But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi."
"kjv","10","18","24","And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone."
"kjv","10","18","25","And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near."
"kjv","10","18","26","And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings."
"kjv","10","18","27","And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings."
"kjv","10","18","28","And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king."
"kjv","10","18","29","And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was."
"kjv","10","18","30","And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still."
"kjv","10","18","31","And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee."
"kjv","10","18","32","And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is."
"kjv","10","18","33","And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!"
"kjv","10","19","1","And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom."
"kjv","10","19","2","And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son."
"kjv","10","19","3","And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle."
"kjv","10","19","4","But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!"
"kjv","10","19","5","And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;"
"kjv","10","19","6","In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well."
"kjv","10","19","7","Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now."
"kjv","10","19","8","Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent."
"kjv","10","19","9","And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom."
"kjv","10","19","10","And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?"
"kjv","10","19","11","And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house."
"kjv","10","19","12","Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?"
"kjv","10","19","13","And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab."
"kjv","10","19","14","And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants."
"kjv","10","19","15","So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan."
"kjv","10","19","16","And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David."
"kjv","10","19","17","And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king."
"kjv","10","19","18","And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;"
"kjv","10","19","19","And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart."
"kjv","10","19","20","For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."
"kjv","10","19","21","But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"
"kjv","10","19","22","And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?"
"kjv","10","19","23","Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him."
"kjv","10","19","24","And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace."
"kjv","10","19","25","And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?"
"kjv","10","19","26","And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame."
"kjv","10","19","27","And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes."
"kjv","10","19","28","For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?"
"kjv","10","19","29","And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land."
"kjv","10","19","30","And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house."
"kjv","10","19","31","And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan."
"kjv","10","19","32","Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man."
"kjv","10","19","33","And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","19","34","And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?"
"kjv","10","19","35","I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?"
"kjv","10","19","36","Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?"
"kjv","10","19","37","Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee."
"kjv","10","19","38","And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee."
"kjv","10","19","39","And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place."
"kjv","10","19","40","Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel."
"kjv","10","19","41","And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan?"
"kjv","10","19","42","And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?"
"kjv","10","19","43","And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel."
"kjv","10","20","1","And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel."
"kjv","10","20","2","So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem."
"kjv","10","20","3","And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood."
"kjv","10","20","4","Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present."
"kjv","10","20","5","So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him."
"kjv","10","20","6","And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us."
"kjv","10","20","7","And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri."
"kjv","10","20","8","When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out."
"kjv","10","20","9","And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him."
"kjv","10","20","10","But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri."
"kjv","10","20","11","And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab."
"kjv","10","20","12","And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still."
"kjv","10","20","13","When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri."
"kjv","10","20","14","And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him."
"kjv","10","20","15","And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down."
"kjv","10","20","16","Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee."
"kjv","10","20","17","And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear."
"kjv","10","20","18","Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter."
"kjv","10","20","19","I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"
"kjv","10","20","20","And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy."
"kjv","10","20","21","The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall."
"kjv","10","20","22","Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king."
"kjv","10","20","23","Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:"
"kjv","10","20","24","And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:"
"kjv","10","20","25","And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:"
"kjv","10","20","26","And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David."
"kjv","10","21","1","Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites."
"kjv","10","21","2","And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)"
"kjv","10","21","3","Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"
"kjv","10","21","4","And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you."
"kjv","10","21","5","And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,"
"kjv","10","21","6","Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them."
"kjv","10","21","7","But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul."
"kjv","10","21","8","But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:"
"kjv","10","21","9","And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest."
"kjv","10","21","10","And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night."
"kjv","10","21","11","And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done."
"kjv","10","21","12","And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:"
"kjv","10","21","13","And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged."
"kjv","10","21","14","And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land."
"kjv","10","21","15","Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint."
"kjv","10","21","16","And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David."
"kjv","10","21","17","But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel."
"kjv","10","21","18","And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant."
"kjv","10","21","19","And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam."
"kjv","10","21","20","And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant."
"kjv","10","21","21","And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him."
"kjv","10","21","22","These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants."
"kjv","10","22","1","And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:"
"kjv","10","22","2","And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;"
"kjv","10","22","3","The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence."
"kjv","10","22","4","I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies."
"kjv","10","22","5","When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;"
"kjv","10","22","6","The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;"
"kjv","10","22","7","In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears."
"kjv","10","22","8","Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth."
"kjv","10","22","9","There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it."
"kjv","10","22","10","He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet."
"kjv","10","22","11","And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind."
"kjv","10","22","12","And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies."
"kjv","10","22","13","Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled."
"kjv","10","22","14","The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice."
"kjv","10","22","15","And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them."
"kjv","10","22","16","And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils."
"kjv","10","22","17","He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;"
"kjv","10","22","18","He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me."
"kjv","10","22","19","They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay."
"kjv","10","22","20","He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me."
"kjv","10","22","21","The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me."
"kjv","10","22","22","For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God."
"kjv","10","22","23","For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them."
"kjv","10","22","24","I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity."
"kjv","10","22","25","Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight."
"kjv","10","22","26","With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright."
"kjv","10","22","27","With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury."
"kjv","10","22","28","And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down."
"kjv","10","22","29","For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness."
"kjv","10","22","30","For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall."
"kjv","10","22","31","As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him."
"kjv","10","22","32","For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?"
"kjv","10","22","33","God is my strength and power: And he maketh my way perfect."
"kjv","10","22","34","He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places."
"kjv","10","22","35","He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms."
"kjv","10","22","36","Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great."
"kjv","10","22","37","Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip."
"kjv","10","22","38","I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them."
"kjv","10","22","39","And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet."
"kjv","10","22","40","For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me."
"kjv","10","22","41","Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me."
"kjv","10","22","42","They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not."
"kjv","10","22","43","Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad."
"kjv","10","22","44","Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me."
"kjv","10","22","45","Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me."
"kjv","10","22","46","Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places."
"kjv","10","22","47","The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation."
"kjv","10","22","48","It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,"
"kjv","10","22","49","And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man."
"kjv","10","22","50","Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name."
"kjv","10","22","51","He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore."
"kjv","10","23","1","Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,"
"kjv","10","23","2","The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue."
"kjv","10","23","3","The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God."
"kjv","10","23","4","And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain."
"kjv","10","23","5","Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow."
"kjv","10","23","6","But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:"
"kjv","10","23","7","But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place."
"kjv","10","23","8","These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time."
"kjv","10","23","9","And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:"
"kjv","10","23","10","He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil."
"kjv","10","23","11","And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines."
"kjv","10","23","12","But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory."
"kjv","10","23","13","And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim."
"kjv","10","23","14","And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem."
"kjv","10","23","15","And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"
"kjv","10","23","16","And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD."
"kjv","10","23","17","And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men."
"kjv","10","23","18","And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three."
"kjv","10","23","19","Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three."
"kjv","10","23","20","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:"
"kjv","10","23","21","And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear."
"kjv","10","23","22","These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men."
"kjv","10","23","23","He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard."
"kjv","10","23","24","Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,"
"kjv","10","23","25","Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,"
"kjv","10","23","26","Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,"
"kjv","10","23","27","Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,"
"kjv","10","23","28","Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,"

"kjv","10","23","39","Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all."
"kjv","10","24","1","And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah."
"kjv","10","24","2","For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people."
"kjv","10","24","3","And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?"
"kjv","10","24","4","Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel."
"kjv","10","24","5","And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:"
"kjv","10","24","6","Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,"
"kjv","10","24","7","And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba."
"kjv","10","24","8","So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days."
"kjv","10","24","9","And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men."
"kjv","10","24","10","And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."
"kjv","10","24","11","For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,"
"kjv","10","24","12","Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee."
"kjv","10","24","13","So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me."
"kjv","10","24","14","And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man."
"kjv","10","24","15","So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men."
"kjv","10","24","16","And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite."
"kjv","10","24","17","And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house."
"kjv","10","24","18","And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite."
"kjv","10","24","19","And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded."
"kjv","10","24","20","And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground."
"kjv","10","24","21","And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people."
"kjv","10","24","22","And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood."
"kjv","10","24","23","All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee."
"kjv","10","24","24","And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver."
"kjv","10","24","25","And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel."
"kjv","11","1","1","Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat."
"kjv","11","1","2","Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat."
"kjv","11","1","3","So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king."
"kjv","11","1","4","And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not."
"kjv","11","1","5","Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him."
"kjv","11","1","6","And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom."
"kjv","11","1","7","And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him."
"kjv","11","1","8","But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah."
"kjv","11","1","9","And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:"
"kjv","11","1","10","But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not."
"kjv","11","1","11","Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?"
"kjv","11","1","12","Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon."
"kjv","11","1","13","Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?"
"kjv","11","1","14","Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words."
"kjv","11","1","15","And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king."
"kjv","11","1","16","And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?"
"kjv","11","1","17","And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne."
"kjv","11","1","18","And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:"
"kjv","11","1","19","And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called."
"kjv","11","1","20","And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him."
"kjv","11","1","21","Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders."
"kjv","11","1","22","And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in."
"kjv","11","1","23","And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground."
"kjv","11","1","24","And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?"
"kjv","11","1","25","For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah."
"kjv","11","1","26","But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called."
"kjv","11","1","27","Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
"kjv","11","1","28","Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king."
"kjv","11","1","29","And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,"
"kjv","11","1","30","Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day."
"kjv","11","1","31","Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever."
"kjv","11","1","32","And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king."
"kjv","11","1","33","The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:"
"kjv","11","1","34","And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon."
"kjv","11","1","35","Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah."
"kjv","11","1","36","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too."
"kjv","11","1","37","As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David."
"kjv","11","1","38","So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon."
"kjv","11","1","39","And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon."
"kjv","11","1","40","And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them."
"kjv","11","1","41","And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"
"kjv","11","1","42","And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings."
"kjv","11","1","43","And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king."
"kjv","11","1","44","And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:"
"kjv","11","1","45","And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard."
"kjv","11","1","46","And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom."
"kjv","11","1","47","And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed."
"kjv","11","1","48","And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it."
"kjv","11","1","49","And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way."
"kjv","11","1","50","And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar."
"kjv","11","1","51","And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword."
"kjv","11","1","52","And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die."
"kjv","11","1","53","So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house."
"kjv","11","2","1","Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,"
"kjv","11","2","2","I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;"
"kjv","11","2","3","And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:"
"kjv","11","2","4","That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel."
"kjv","11","2","5","Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet."
"kjv","11","2","6","Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace."
"kjv","11","2","7","But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother."
"kjv","11","2","8","And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword."
"kjv","11","2","9","Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood."
"kjv","11","2","10","So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David."
"kjv","11","2","11","And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem."
"kjv","11","2","12","Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly."
"kjv","11","2","13","And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably."
"kjv","11","2","14","He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on."
"kjv","11","2","15","And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD."
"kjv","11","2","16","And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on."
"kjv","11","2","17","And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife."
"kjv","11","2","18","And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king."
"kjv","11","2","19","Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand."
"kjv","11","2","20","Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay."
"kjv","11","2","21","And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife."
"kjv","11","2","22","And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."
"kjv","11","2","23","Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life."
"kjv","11","2","24","Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day."
"kjv","11","2","25","And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died."
"kjv","11","2","26","And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted."
"kjv","11","2","27","So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh."
"kjv","11","2","28","Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar."
"kjv","11","2","29","And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him."
"kjv","11","2","30","And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me."
"kjv","11","2","31","And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father."
"kjv","11","2","32","And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah."
"kjv","11","2","33","Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD."
"kjv","11","2","34","So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness."
"kjv","11","2","35","And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar."
"kjv","11","2","36","And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither."
"kjv","11","2","37","For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head."
"kjv","11","2","38","And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days."
"kjv","11","2","39","And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath."
"kjv","11","2","40","And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath."
"kjv","11","2","41","And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again."
"kjv","11","2","42","And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good."
"kjv","11","2","43","Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?"
"kjv","11","2","44","The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;"
"kjv","11","2","45","And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever."
"kjv","11","2","46","So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon."
"kjv","11","3","1","And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about."
"kjv","11","3","2","Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days."
"kjv","11","3","3","And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places."
"kjv","11","3","4","And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar."
"kjv","11","3","5","In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee."
"kjv","11","3","6","And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day."
"kjv","11","3","7","And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in."
"kjv","11","3","8","And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude."
"kjv","11","3","9","Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?"
"kjv","11","3","10","And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing."
"kjv","11","3","11","And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;"
"kjv","11","3","12","Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee."
"kjv","11","3","13","And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days."
"kjv","11","3","14","And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days."
"kjv","11","3","15","And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants."
"kjv","11","3","16","Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him."
"kjv","11","3","17","And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house."
"kjv","11","3","18","And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house."
"kjv","11","3","19","And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it."
"kjv","11","3","20","And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom."
"kjv","11","3","21","And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear."
"kjv","11","3","22","And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king."
"kjv","11","3","23","Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living."
"kjv","11","3","24","And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king."
"kjv","11","3","25","And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
"kjv","11","3","26","Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it."
"kjv","11","3","27","Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof."
"kjv","11","3","28","And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment."
"kjv","11","4","1","So king Solomon was king over all Israel."
"kjv","11","4","2","And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,"
"kjv","11","4","3","Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder."
"kjv","11","4","4","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:"
"kjv","11","4","5","And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:"
"kjv","11","4","6","And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute."
"kjv","11","4","7","And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision."
"kjv","11","4","8","And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:"
"kjv","11","4","9","The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:"
"kjv","11","4","10","The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:"
"kjv","11","4","11","The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:"
"kjv","11","4","12","Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:"
"kjv","11","4","13","The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars:"
"kjv","11","4","14","Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:"
"kjv","11","4","15","Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:"
"kjv","11","4","16","Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:"
"kjv","11","4","17","Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:"
"kjv","11","4","18","Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:"
"kjv","11","4","19","Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land."
"kjv","11","4","20","Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry."
"kjv","11","4","21","And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life."
"kjv","11","4","22","And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,"
"kjv","11","4","23","Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl."
"kjv","11","4","24","For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him."
"kjv","11","4","25","And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon."
"kjv","11","4","26","And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen."
"kjv","11","4","27","And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing."
"kjv","11","4","28","Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge."
"kjv","11","4","29","And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore."
"kjv","11","4","30","And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt."
"kjv","11","4","31","For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about."
"kjv","11","4","32","And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five."
"kjv","11","4","33","And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes."
"kjv","11","4","34","And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom."
"kjv","11","5","1","And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David."
"kjv","11","5","2","And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,"
"kjv","11","5","3","Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet."
"kjv","11","5","4","But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent."
"kjv","11","5","5","And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name."
"kjv","11","5","6","Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians."
"kjv","11","5","7","And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people."
"kjv","11","5","8","And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir."
"kjv","11","5","9","My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
"kjv","11","5","10","So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire."
"kjv","11","5","11","And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year."
"kjv","11","5","12","And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together."
"kjv","11","5","13","And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men."
"kjv","11","5","14","And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy."
"kjv","11","5","15","And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;"
"kjv","11","5","16","Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work."
"kjv","11","5","17","And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house."
"kjv","11","5","18","And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house."
"kjv","11","6","1","And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
"kjv","11","6","2","And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits."
"kjv","11","6","3","And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house."
"kjv","11","6","4","And for the house he made windows of narrow lights."
"kjv","11","6","5","And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:"
"kjv","11","6","6","The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house."
"kjv","11","6","7","And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building."
"kjv","11","6","8","The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third."
"kjv","11","6","9","So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar."
"kjv","11","6","10","And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar."
"kjv","11","6","11","And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,"
"kjv","11","6","12","Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:"
"kjv","11","6","13","And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."
"kjv","11","6","14","So Solomon built the house, and finished it."
"kjv","11","6","15","And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir."
"kjv","11","6","16","And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place."
"kjv","11","6","17","And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long."
"kjv","11","6","18","And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen."
"kjv","11","6","19","And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD."
"kjv","11","6","20","And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar."
"kjv","11","6","21","So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold."
"kjv","11","6","22","And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold."
"kjv","11","6","23","And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high."
"kjv","11","6","24","And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits."
"kjv","11","6","25","And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size."
"kjv","11","6","26","The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub."
"kjv","11","6","27","And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house."
"kjv","11","6","28","And he overlaid the cherubims with gold."
"kjv","11","6","29","And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without."
"kjv","11","6","30","And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without."
"kjv","11","6","31","And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall."
"kjv","11","6","32","The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees."
"kjv","11","6","33","So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall."
"kjv","11","6","34","And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding."
"kjv","11","6","35","And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work."
"kjv","11","6","36","And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams."
"kjv","11","6","37","In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:"
"kjv","11","6","38","And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
"kjv","11","7","1","But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."
"kjv","11","7","2","He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars."
"kjv","11","7","3","And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row."
"kjv","11","7","4","And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks."
"kjv","11","7","5","And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks."
"kjv","11","7","6","And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them."
"kjv","11","7","7","Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other."
"kjv","11","7","8","And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch."
"kjv","11","7","9","All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court."
"kjv","11","7","10","And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits."
"kjv","11","7","11","And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars."
"kjv","11","7","12","And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house."
"kjv","11","7","13","And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre."
"kjv","11","7","14","He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work."
"kjv","11","7","15","For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about."
"kjv","11","7","16","And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:"
"kjv","11","7","17","And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter."
"kjv","11","7","18","And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter."
"kjv","11","7","19","And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits."
"kjv","11","7","20","And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter."
"kjv","11","7","21","And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz."
"kjv","11","7","22","And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished."
"kjv","11","7","23","And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about."
"kjv","11","7","24","And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast."
"kjv","11","7","25","It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward."
"kjv","11","7","26","And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths."
"kjv","11","7","27","And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it."
"kjv","11","7","28","And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:"
"kjv","11","7","29","And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work."
"kjv","11","7","30","And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition."
"kjv","11","7","31","And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round."
"kjv","11","7","32","And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit."
"kjv","11","7","33","And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten."
"kjv","11","7","34","And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself."
"kjv","11","7","35","And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same."
"kjv","11","7","36","For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about."
"kjv","11","7","37","After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size."
"kjv","11","7","38","Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver."
"kjv","11","7","39","And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south."
"kjv","11","7","40","And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:"
"kjv","11","7","41","The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;"
"kjv","11","7","42","And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;"
"kjv","11","7","43","And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;"
"kjv","11","7","44","And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;"
"kjv","11","7","45","And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass."
"kjv","11","7","46","In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan."
"kjv","11","7","47","And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out."
"kjv","11","7","48","And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,"
"kjv","11","7","49","And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,"
"kjv","11","7","50","And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple."
"kjv","11","7","51","So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","11","8","1","Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion."
"kjv","11","8","2","And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month."
"kjv","11","8","3","And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark."
"kjv","11","8","4","And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up."
"kjv","11","8","5","And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude."
"kjv","11","8","6","And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims."
"kjv","11","8","7","For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above."
"kjv","11","8","8","And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day."
"kjv","11","8","9","There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","11","8","10","And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,"
"kjv","11","8","11","So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD."
"kjv","11","8","12","Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness."
"kjv","11","8","13","I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever."
"kjv","11","8","14","And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)"
"kjv","11","8","15","And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,"
"kjv","11","8","16","Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel."
"kjv","11","8","17","And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","11","8","18","And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart."
"kjv","11","8","19","Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name."
"kjv","11","8","20","And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","11","8","21","And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","11","8","22","And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:"
"kjv","11","8","23","And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:"
"kjv","11","8","24","Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day."
"kjv","11","8","25","Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me."
"kjv","11","8","26","And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father."
"kjv","11","8","27","But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?"
"kjv","11","8","28","Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:"
"kjv","11","8","29","That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place."
"kjv","11","8","30","And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive."
"kjv","11","8","31","If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:"
"kjv","11","8","32","Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness."
"kjv","11","8","33","When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:"
"kjv","11","8","34","Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers."
"kjv","11","8","35","When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:"
"kjv","11","8","36","Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance."
"kjv","11","8","37","If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;"
"kjv","11","8","38","What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:"
"kjv","11","8","39","Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)"
"kjv","11","8","40","That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers."
"kjv","11","8","41","Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;"
"kjv","11","8","42","(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;"
"kjv","11","8","43","Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name."
"kjv","11","8","44","If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:"
"kjv","11","8","45","Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause."
"kjv","11","8","46","If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;"
"kjv","11","8","47","Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;"
"kjv","11","8","48","And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:"
"kjv","11","8","49","Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,"
"kjv","11","8","50","And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:"
"kjv","11","8","51","For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:"
"kjv","11","8","52","That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee."
"kjv","11","8","53","For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD."
"kjv","11","8","54","And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven."
"kjv","11","8","55","And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,"
"kjv","11","8","56","Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant."
"kjv","11","8","57","The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:"
"kjv","11","8","58","That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers."
"kjv","11","8","59","And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:"
"kjv","11","8","60","That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else."
"kjv","11","8","61","Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."
"kjv","11","8","62","And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD."
"kjv","11","8","63","And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD."
"kjv","11","8","64","The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings."
"kjv","11","8","65","And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days."
"kjv","11","8","66","On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people."
"kjv","11","9","1","And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,"
"kjv","11","9","2","That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon."
"kjv","11","9","3","And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually."
"kjv","11","9","4","And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:"
"kjv","11","9","5","Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel."
"kjv","11","9","6","But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:"
"kjv","11","9","7","Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:"
"kjv","11","9","8","And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?"
"kjv","11","9","9","And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil."
"kjv","11","9","10","And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,"
"kjv","11","9","11","(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee."
"kjv","11","9","12","And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not."
"kjv","11","9","13","And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day."
"kjv","11","9","14","And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold."
"kjv","11","9","15","And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer."
"kjv","11","9","16","For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife."
"kjv","11","9","17","And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,"
"kjv","11","9","18","And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,"
"kjv","11","9","19","And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion."
"kjv","11","9","20","And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,"
"kjv","11","9","21","Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day."
"kjv","11","9","22","But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen."
"kjv","11","9","23","These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work."
"kjv","11","9","24","But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo."
"kjv","11","9","25","And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house."
"kjv","11","9","26","And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom."
"kjv","11","9","27","And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon."
"kjv","11","9","28","And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon."
"kjv","11","10","1","And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions."
"kjv","11","10","2","And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart."
"kjv","11","10","3","And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not."
"kjv","11","10","4","And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,"
"kjv","11","10","5","And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her."
"kjv","11","10","6","And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom."
"kjv","11","10","7","Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard."
"kjv","11","10","8","Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom."
"kjv","11","10","9","Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice."
"kjv","11","10","10","And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon."
"kjv","11","10","11","And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones."
"kjv","11","10","12","And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day."
"kjv","11","10","13","And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants."
"kjv","11","10","14","Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,"
"kjv","11","10","15","Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country."
"kjv","11","10","16","And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target."
"kjv","11","10","17","And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon."
"kjv","11","10","18","Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold."
"kjv","11","10","19","The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays."
"kjv","11","10","20","And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom."
"kjv","11","10","21","And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon."
"kjv","11","10","22","For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."
"kjv","11","10","23","So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom."
"kjv","11","10","24","And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart."
"kjv","11","10","25","And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year."
"kjv","11","10","26","And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem."
"kjv","11","10","27","And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the vale, for abundance."
"kjv","11","10","28","And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price."
"kjv","11","10","29","And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means."
"kjv","11","11","1","But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;"
"kjv","11","11","2","Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love."
"kjv","11","11","3","And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart."
"kjv","11","11","4","For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father."
"kjv","11","11","5","For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites."
"kjv","11","11","6","And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father."
"kjv","11","11","7","Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon."
"kjv","11","11","8","And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods."
"kjv","11","11","9","And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,"
"kjv","11","11","10","And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded."
"kjv","11","11","11","Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant."
"kjv","11","11","12","Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son."
"kjv","11","11","13","Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen."
"kjv","11","11","14","And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom."
"kjv","11","11","15","For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;"
"kjv","11","11","16","(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)"
"kjv","11","11","17","That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child."
"kjv","11","11","18","And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land."
"kjv","11","11","19","And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen."
"kjv","11","11","20","And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh."
"kjv","11","11","21","And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country."
"kjv","11","11","22","Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise."
"kjv","11","11","23","And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:"
"kjv","11","11","24","And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus."
"kjv","11","11","25","And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria."
"kjv","11","11","26","And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king."
"kjv","11","11","27","And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father."
"kjv","11","11","28","And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph."
"kjv","11","11","29","And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:"
"kjv","11","11","30","And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:"
"kjv","11","11","31","And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:"
"kjv","11","11","32","(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)"
"kjv","11","11","33","Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father."
"kjv","11","11","34","Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:"
"kjv","11","11","35","But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes."
"kjv","11","11","36","And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there."
"kjv","11","11","37","And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel."
"kjv","11","11","38","And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee."
"kjv","11","11","39","And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever."
"kjv","11","11","40","Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon."
"kjv","11","11","41","And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?"
"kjv","11","11","42","And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years."
"kjv","11","11","43","And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","12","1","And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king."
"kjv","11","12","2","And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)"
"kjv","11","12","3","That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,"
"kjv","11","12","4","Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee."
"kjv","11","12","5","And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed."
"kjv","11","12","6","And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?"
"kjv","11","12","7","And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever."
"kjv","11","12","8","But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:"
"kjv","11","12","9","And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?"
"kjv","11","12","10","And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins."
"kjv","11","12","11","And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
"kjv","11","12","12","So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day."
"kjv","11","12","13","And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;"
"kjv","11","12","14","And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
"kjv","11","12","15","Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
"kjv","11","12","16","So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents."
"kjv","11","12","17","But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them."
"kjv","11","12","18","Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem."
"kjv","11","12","19","So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day."
"kjv","11","12","20","And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only."
"kjv","11","12","21","And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon."
"kjv","11","12","22","But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,"
"kjv","11","12","23","Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,"
"kjv","11","12","24","Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","11","12","25","Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel."
"kjv","11","12","26","And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:"
"kjv","11","12","27","If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah."
"kjv","11","12","28","Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","11","12","29","And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan."
"kjv","11","12","30","And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan."
"kjv","11","12","31","And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi."
"kjv","11","12","32","And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made."
"kjv","11","12","33","So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense."
"kjv","11","13","1","And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense."
"kjv","11","13","2","And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee."
"kjv","11","13","3","And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out."
"kjv","11","13","4","And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him."
"kjv","11","13","5","The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD."
"kjv","11","13","6","And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before."
"kjv","11","13","7","And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward."
"kjv","11","13","8","And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:"
"kjv","11","13","9","For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest."
"kjv","11","13","10","So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel."
"kjv","11","13","11","Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father."
"kjv","11","13","12","And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah."
"kjv","11","13","13","And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,"
"kjv","11","13","14","And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am."
"kjv","11","13","15","Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread."
"kjv","11","13","16","And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:"
"kjv","11","13","17","For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest."
"kjv","11","13","18","He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him."
"kjv","11","13","19","So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water."
"kjv","11","13","20","And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:"
"kjv","11","13","21","And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,"
"kjv","11","13","22","But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers."
"kjv","11","13","23","And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back."
"kjv","11","13","24","And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase."
"kjv","11","13","25","And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt."
"kjv","11","13","26","And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him."
"kjv","11","13","27","And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him."
"kjv","11","13","28","And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass."
"kjv","11","13","29","And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him."
"kjv","11","13","30","And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!"
"kjv","11","13","31","And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:"
"kjv","11","13","32","For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass."
"kjv","11","13","33","After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places."
"kjv","11","13","34","And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth."
"kjv","11","14","1","At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick."
"kjv","11","14","2","And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people."
"kjv","11","14","3","And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child."
"kjv","11","14","4","And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age."
"kjv","11","14","5","And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman."
"kjv","11","14","6","And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings."
"kjv","11","14","7","Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,"
"kjv","11","14","8","And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;"
"kjv","11","14","9","But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:"
"kjv","11","14","10","Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone."
"kjv","11","14","11","Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","11","14","12","Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die."
"kjv","11","14","13","And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam."
"kjv","11","14","14","Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now."
"kjv","11","14","15","For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger."
"kjv","11","14","16","And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin."
"kjv","11","14","17","And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;"
"kjv","11","14","18","And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet."
"kjv","11","14","19","And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","11","14","20","And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","14","21","And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess."
"kjv","11","14","22","And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done."
"kjv","11","14","23","For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree."
"kjv","11","14","24","And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel."
"kjv","11","14","25","And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:"
"kjv","11","14","26","And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made."
"kjv","11","14","27","And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house."
"kjv","11","14","28","And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber."
"kjv","11","14","29","Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","11","14","30","And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days."
"kjv","11","14","31","And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","15","1","Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah."
"kjv","11","15","2","Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom."
"kjv","11","15","3","And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father."
"kjv","11","15","4","Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:"
"kjv","11","15","5","Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite."
"kjv","11","15","6","And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life."
"kjv","11","15","7","Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam."
"kjv","11","15","8","And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","15","9","And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah."
"kjv","11","15","10","And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom."
"kjv","11","15","11","And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father."
"kjv","11","15","12","And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made."
"kjv","11","15","13","And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron."
"kjv","11","15","14","But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days."
"kjv","11","15","15","And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels."
"kjv","11","15","16","And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days."
"kjv","11","15","17","And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah."
"kjv","11","15","18","Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,"
"kjv","11","15","19","There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
"kjv","11","15","20","So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali."
"kjv","11","15","21","And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah."
"kjv","11","15","22","Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah."
"kjv","11","15","23","The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet."
"kjv","11","15","24","And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","15","25","And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years."
"kjv","11","15","26","And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"kjv","11","15","27","And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon."
"kjv","11","15","28","Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","15","29","And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:"
"kjv","11","15","30","Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger."
"kjv","11","15","31","Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","11","15","32","And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days."
"kjv","11","15","33","In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years."
"kjv","11","15","34","And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"kjv","11","16","1","Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,"
"kjv","11","16","2","Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;"
"kjv","11","16","3","Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
"kjv","11","16","4","Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat."
"kjv","11","16","5","Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","11","16","6","So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","16","7","And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him."
"kjv","11","16","8","In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years."
"kjv","11","16","9","And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah."
"kjv","11","16","10","And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","16","11","And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends."
"kjv","11","16","12","Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,"
"kjv","11","16","13","For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities."
"kjv","11","16","14","Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","11","16","15","In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines."
"kjv","11","16","16","And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp."
"kjv","11","16","17","And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah."
"kjv","11","16","18","And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,"
"kjv","11","16","19","For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin."
"kjv","11","16","20","Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","11","16","21","Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri."
"kjv","11","16","22","But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned."
"kjv","11","16","23","In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah."
"kjv","11","16","24","And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria."
"kjv","11","16","25","But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him."
"kjv","11","16","26","For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities."
"kjv","11","16","27","Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","11","16","28","So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","16","29","And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years."
"kjv","11","16","30","And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him."
"kjv","11","16","31","And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him."
"kjv","11","16","32","And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria."
"kjv","11","16","33","And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him."
"kjv","11","16","34","In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun."
"kjv","11","17","1","And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."
"kjv","11","17","2","And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,"
"kjv","11","17","3","Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan."
"kjv","11","17","4","And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there."
"kjv","11","17","5","So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan."
"kjv","11","17","6","And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook."
"kjv","11","17","7","And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land."
"kjv","11","17","8","And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,"
"kjv","11","17","9","Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."
"kjv","11","17","10","So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink."
"kjv","11","17","11","And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand."
"kjv","11","17","12","And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
"kjv","11","17","13","And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son."
"kjv","11","17","14","For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth."
"kjv","11","17","15","And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days."
"kjv","11","17","16","And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah."
"kjv","11","17","17","And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him."
"kjv","11","17","18","And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?"
"kjv","11","17","19","And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed."
"kjv","11","17","20","And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?"
"kjv","11","17","21","And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again."
"kjv","11","17","22","And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived."
"kjv","11","17","23","And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth."
"kjv","11","17","24","And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth."
"kjv","11","18","1","And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth."
"kjv","11","18","2","And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria."
"kjv","11","18","3","And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:"
"kjv","11","18","4","For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)"
"kjv","11","18","5","And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts."
"kjv","11","18","6","So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself."
"kjv","11","18","7","And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?"
"kjv","11","18","8","And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here."
"kjv","11","18","9","And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?"
"kjv","11","18","10","As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not."
"kjv","11","18","11","And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here."
"kjv","11","18","12","And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth."
"kjv","11","18","13","Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?"
"kjv","11","18","14","And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me."
"kjv","11","18","15","And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day."
"kjv","11","18","16","So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah."
"kjv","11","18","17","And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?"
"kjv","11","18","18","And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim."
"kjv","11","18","19","Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table."
"kjv","11","18","20","So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel."
"kjv","11","18","21","And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."
"kjv","11","18","22","Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men."
"kjv","11","18","23","Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:"
"kjv","11","18","24","And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken."
"kjv","11","18","25","And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under."
"kjv","11","18","26","And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made."
"kjv","11","18","27","And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked."
"kjv","11","18","28","And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them."
"kjv","11","18","29","And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded."
"kjv","11","18","30","And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down."
"kjv","11","18","31","And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:"
"kjv","11","18","32","And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed."
"kjv","11","18","33","And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood."
"kjv","11","18","34","And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time."
"kjv","11","18","35","And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water."
"kjv","11","18","36","And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word."
"kjv","11","18","37","Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again."
"kjv","11","18","38","Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."
"kjv","11","18","39","And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God."
"kjv","11","18","40","And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there."
"kjv","11","18","41","And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain."
"kjv","11","18","42","So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,"
"kjv","11","18","43","And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times."
"kjv","11","18","44","And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not."
"kjv","11","18","45","And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel."
"kjv","11","18","46","And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel."
"kjv","11","19","1","And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword."
"kjv","11","19","2","Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time."
"kjv","11","19","3","And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there."
"kjv","11","19","4","But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."
"kjv","11","19","5","And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat."
"kjv","11","19","6","And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again."
"kjv","11","19","7","And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee."
"kjv","11","19","8","And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God."
"kjv","11","19","9","And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?"
"kjv","11","19","10","And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
"kjv","11","19","11","And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:"
"kjv","11","19","12","And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."
"kjv","11","19","13","And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?"
"kjv","11","19","14","And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
"kjv","11","19","15","And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:"
"kjv","11","19","16","And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room."
"kjv","11","19","17","And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay."
"kjv","11","19","18","Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him."
"kjv","11","19","19","So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him."
"kjv","11","19","20","And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?"
"kjv","11","19","21","And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him."
"kjv","11","20","1","And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it."
"kjv","11","20","2","And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,"
"kjv","11","20","3","Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine."
"kjv","11","20","4","And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have."
"kjv","11","20","5","And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;"
"kjv","11","20","6","Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away."
"kjv","11","20","7","Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not."
"kjv","11","20","8","And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent."
"kjv","11","20","9","Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again."
"kjv","11","20","10","And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me."
"kjv","11","20","11","And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off."
"kjv","11","20","12","And it came to pass, when Benhadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city."
"kjv","11","20","13","And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","11","20","14","And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou."
"kjv","11","20","15","Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand."
"kjv","11","20","16","And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him."
"kjv","11","20","17","And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria."
"kjv","11","20","18","And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive."
"kjv","11","20","19","So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them."
"kjv","11","20","20","And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen."
"kjv","11","20","21","And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter."
"kjv","11","20","22","And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee."
"kjv","11","20","23","And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they."
"kjv","11","20","24","And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:"
"kjv","11","20","25","And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so."
"kjv","11","20","26","And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel."
"kjv","11","20","27","And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country."
"kjv","11","20","28","And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","11","20","29","And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day."
"kjv","11","20","30","But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber."
"kjv","11","20","31","And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life."
"kjv","11","20","32","So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother."
"kjv","11","20","33","Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot."
"kjv","11","20","34","And Benhadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away."
"kjv","11","20","35","And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him."
"kjv","11","20","36","Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him."
"kjv","11","20","37","Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him."
"kjv","11","20","38","So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face."
"kjv","11","20","39","And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver."
"kjv","11","20","40","And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it."
"kjv","11","20","41","And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets."
"kjv","11","20","42","And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people."
"kjv","11","20","43","And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria."
"kjv","11","21","1","And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria."
"kjv","11","21","2","And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money."
"kjv","11","21","3","And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee."
"kjv","11","21","4","And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread."
"kjv","11","21","5","But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?"
"kjv","11","21","6","And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard."
"kjv","11","21","7","And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
"kjv","11","21","8","So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth."
"kjv","11","21","9","And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:"
"kjv","11","21","10","And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die."
"kjv","11","21","11","And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them."
"kjv","11","21","12","They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people."
"kjv","11","21","13","And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died."
"kjv","11","21","14","Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead."
"kjv","11","21","15","And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead."
"kjv","11","21","16","And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it."
"kjv","11","21","17","And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,"
"kjv","11","21","18","Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it."
"kjv","11","21","19","And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine."
"kjv","11","21","20","And Ahab said to Elijah, hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee; because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD."
"kjv","11","21","21","Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,"
"kjv","11","21","22","And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin."
"kjv","11","21","23","And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel."
"kjv","11","21","24","Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat."
"kjv","11","21","25","But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up."
"kjv","11","21","26","And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel."
"kjv","11","21","27","And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly."
"kjv","11","21","28","And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,"
"kjv","11","21","29","Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house."
"kjv","11","22","1","And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel."
"kjv","11","22","2","And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel."
"kjv","11","22","3","And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?"
"kjv","11","22","4","And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses."
"kjv","11","22","5","And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day."
"kjv","11","22","6","Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king."
"kjv","11","22","7","And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?"
"kjv","11","22","8","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so."
"kjv","11","22","9","Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah."
"kjv","11","22","10","And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them."
"kjv","11","22","11","And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them."
"kjv","11","22","12","And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand."
"kjv","11","22","13","And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good."
"kjv","11","22","14","And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak."
"kjv","11","22","15","So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king."
"kjv","11","22","16","And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?"
"kjv","11","22","17","And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace."
"kjv","11","22","18","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?"
"kjv","11","22","19","And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left."
"kjv","11","22","20","And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner."
"kjv","11","22","21","And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him."
"kjv","11","22","22","And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so."
"kjv","11","22","23","Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee."
"kjv","11","22","24","But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?"
"kjv","11","22","25","And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself."
"kjv","11","22","26","And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;"
"kjv","11","22","27","And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace."
"kjv","11","22","28","And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you."
"kjv","11","22","29","So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead."
"kjv","11","22","30","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle."
"kjv","11","22","31","But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel."
"kjv","11","22","32","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out."
"kjv","11","22","33","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him."
"kjv","11","22","34","And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded."
"kjv","11","22","35","And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot."
"kjv","11","22","36","And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country."
"kjv","11","22","37","So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria."
"kjv","11","22","38","And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake."
"kjv","11","22","39","Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","11","22","40","So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","22","41","And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel."
"kjv","11","22","42","Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
"kjv","11","22","43","And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places."
"kjv","11","22","44","And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel."
"kjv","11","22","45","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","11","22","46","And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land."
"kjv","11","22","47","There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king."
"kjv","11","22","48","Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber."
"kjv","11","22","49","Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not."
"kjv","11","22","50","And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","11","22","51","Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel."
"kjv","11","22","52","And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:"
"kjv","11","22","53","For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done."
"kjv","12","1","1","Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab."
"kjv","12","1","2","And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease."
"kjv","12","1","3","But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?"
"kjv","12","1","4","Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed."
"kjv","12","1","5","And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?"
"kjv","12","1","6","And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die."
"kjv","12","1","7","And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
"kjv","12","1","8","And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite."
"kjv","12","1","9","Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down."
"kjv","12","1","10","And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty."
"kjv","12","1","11","Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly."
"kjv","12","1","12","And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty."
"kjv","12","1","13","And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight."
"kjv","12","1","14","Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight."
"kjv","12","1","15","And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king."
"kjv","12","1","16","And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die."
"kjv","12","1","17","So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son."
"kjv","12","1","18","Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","2","1","And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal."
"kjv","12","2","2","And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel."
"kjv","12","2","3","And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace."
"kjv","12","2","4","And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho."
"kjv","12","2","5","And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace."
"kjv","12","2","6","And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on."
"kjv","12","2","7","And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan."
"kjv","12","2","8","And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground."
"kjv","12","2","9","And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me."
"kjv","12","2","10","And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so."
"kjv","12","2","11","And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
"kjv","12","2","12","And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces."
"kjv","12","2","13","He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;"
"kjv","12","2","14","And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over."
"kjv","12","2","15","And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him."
"kjv","12","2","16","And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send."
"kjv","12","2","17","And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not."
"kjv","12","2","18","And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?"
"kjv","12","2","19","And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is nought, and the ground barren."
"kjv","12","2","20","And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him."
"kjv","12","2","21","And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land."
"kjv","12","2","22","So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake."
"kjv","12","2","23","And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head."
"kjv","12","2","24","And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."
"kjv","12","2","25","And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria."
"kjv","12","3","1","Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years."
"kjv","12","3","2","And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made."
"kjv","12","3","3","Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom."
"kjv","12","3","4","And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool."
"kjv","12","3","5","But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel."
"kjv","12","3","6","And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel."
"kjv","12","3","7","And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses."
"kjv","12","3","8","And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom."
"kjv","12","3","9","So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them."
"kjv","12","3","10","And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!"
"kjv","12","3","11","But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah."
"kjv","12","3","12","And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him."
"kjv","12","3","13","And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
"kjv","12","3","14","And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee."
"kjv","12","3","15","But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him."
"kjv","12","3","16","And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches."
"kjv","12","3","17","For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts."
"kjv","12","3","18","And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand."
"kjv","12","3","19","And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones."
"kjv","12","3","20","And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water."
"kjv","12","3","21","And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border."
"kjv","12","3","22","And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:"
"kjv","12","3","23","And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
"kjv","12","3","24","And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country."
"kjv","12","3","25","And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it."
"kjv","12","3","26","And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not."
"kjv","12","3","27","Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land."
"kjv","12","4","1","Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen."
"kjv","12","4","2","And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil."
"kjv","12","4","3","Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few."
"kjv","12","4","4","And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full."
"kjv","12","4","5","So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out."
"kjv","12","4","6","And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed."
"kjv","12","4","7","Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest."
"kjv","12","4","8","And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread."
"kjv","12","4","9","And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually."
"kjv","12","4","10","Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither."
"kjv","12","4","11","And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there."
"kjv","12","4","12","And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him."
"kjv","12","4","13","And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people."
"kjv","12","4","14","And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old."
"kjv","12","4","15","And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door."
"kjv","12","4","16","And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid."
"kjv","12","4","17","And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life."
"kjv","12","4","18","And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers."
"kjv","12","4","19","And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother."
"kjv","12","4","20","And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died."
"kjv","12","4","21","And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out."
"kjv","12","4","22","And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again."
"kjv","12","4","23","And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well."
"kjv","12","4","24","Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee."
"kjv","12","4","25","So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:"
"kjv","12","4","26","Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well."
"kjv","12","4","27","And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me."
"kjv","12","4","28","Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?"
"kjv","12","4","29","Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child."
"kjv","12","4","30","And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her."
"kjv","12","4","31","And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked."
"kjv","12","4","32","And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed."
"kjv","12","4","33","He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD."
"kjv","12","4","34","And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm."
"kjv","12","4","35","Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes."
"kjv","12","4","36","And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son."
"kjv","12","4","37","Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out."
"kjv","12","4","38","And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets."
"kjv","12","4","39","And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not."
"kjv","12","4","40","So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof."
"kjv","12","4","41","But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot."
"kjv","12","4","42","And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat."
"kjv","12","4","43","And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof."
"kjv","12","4","44","So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","12","5","1","Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper."
"kjv","12","5","2","And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife."
"kjv","12","5","3","And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy."
"kjv","12","5","4","And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel."
"kjv","12","5","5","And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment."
"kjv","12","5","6","And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy."
"kjv","12","5","7","And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me."
"kjv","12","5","8","And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."
"kjv","12","5","9","So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha."
"kjv","12","5","10","And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean."
"kjv","12","5","11","But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper."
"kjv","12","5","12","Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage."
"kjv","12","5","13","And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?"
"kjv","12","5","14","Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean."
"kjv","12","5","15","And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant."
"kjv","12","5","16","But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused."
"kjv","12","5","17","And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD."
"kjv","12","5","18","In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing."
"kjv","12","5","19","And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way."
"kjv","12","5","20","But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him."
"kjv","12","5","21","So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?"
"kjv","12","5","22","And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments."
"kjv","12","5","23","And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him."
"kjv","12","5","24","And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed."
"kjv","12","5","25","But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither."
"kjv","12","5","26","And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?"
"kjv","12","5","27","The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow."
"kjv","12","6","1","And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us."
"kjv","12","6","2","Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye."
"kjv","12","6","3","And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go."
"kjv","12","6","4","So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood."
"kjv","12","6","5","But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed."
"kjv","12","6","6","And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim."
"kjv","12","6","7","Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it."
"kjv","12","6","8","Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp."
"kjv","12","6","9","And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down."
"kjv","12","6","10","And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice."
"kjv","12","6","11","Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
"kjv","12","6","12","And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber."
"kjv","12","6","13","And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan."
"kjv","12","6","14","Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about."
"kjv","12","6","15","And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?"
"kjv","12","6","16","And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them."
"kjv","12","6","17","And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
"kjv","12","6","18","And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha."
"kjv","12","6","19","And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria."
"kjv","12","6","20","And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria."
"kjv","12","6","21","And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?"
"kjv","12","6","22","And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
"kjv","12","6","23","And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel."
"kjv","12","6","24","And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria."
"kjv","12","6","25","And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver."
"kjv","12","6","26","And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king."
"kjv","12","6","27","And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?"
"kjv","12","6","28","And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow."
"kjv","12","6","29","So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son."
"kjv","12","6","30","And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh."
"kjv","12","6","31","Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day."
"kjv","12","6","32","But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
"kjv","12","6","33","And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?"
"kjv","12","7","1","Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria."
"kjv","12","7","2","Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof."
"kjv","12","7","3","And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?"
"kjv","12","7","4","If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die."
"kjv","12","7","5","And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there."
"kjv","12","7","6","For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us."
"kjv","12","7","7","Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life."
"kjv","12","7","8","And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it."
"kjv","12","7","9","Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household."
"kjv","12","7","10","So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were."
"kjv","12","7","11","And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within."
"kjv","12","7","12","And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city."
"kjv","12","7","13","And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see."
"kjv","12","7","14","They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see."
"kjv","12","7","15","And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king."
"kjv","12","7","16","And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","12","7","17","And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him."
"kjv","12","7","18","And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:"
"kjv","12","7","19","And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof."
"kjv","12","7","20","And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died."
"kjv","12","8","1","Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years."
"kjv","12","8","2","And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years."
"kjv","12","8","3","And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land."
"kjv","12","8","4","And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done."
"kjv","12","8","5","And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."
"kjv","12","8","6","And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now."
"kjv","12","8","7","And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither."
"kjv","12","8","8","And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?"
"kjv","12","8","9","So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?"
"kjv","12","8","10","And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die."
"kjv","12","8","11","And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept."
"kjv","12","8","12","And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child."
"kjv","12","8","13","And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria."
"kjv","12","8","14","So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover."
"kjv","12","8","15","And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","8","16","And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign."
"kjv","12","8","17","Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","8","18","And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD."
"kjv","12","8","19","Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children."
"kjv","12","8","20","In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves."
"kjv","12","8","21","So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents."
"kjv","12","8","22","Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time."
"kjv","12","8","23","And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","8","24","And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","8","25","In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign."
"kjv","12","8","26","Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel."
"kjv","12","8","27","And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab."
"kjv","12","8","28","And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram."
"kjv","12","8","29","And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick."
"kjv","12","9","1","And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:"
"kjv","12","9","2","And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;"
"kjv","12","9","3","Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not."
"kjv","12","9","4","So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead."
"kjv","12","9","5","And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain."
"kjv","12","9","6","And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel."
"kjv","12","9","7","And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel."
"kjv","12","9","8","For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:"
"kjv","12","9","9","And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:"
"kjv","12","9","10","And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled."
"kjv","12","9","11","Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication."
"kjv","12","9","12","And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel."
"kjv","12","9","13","Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king."
"kjv","12","9","14","So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria."
"kjv","12","9","15","But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel."
"kjv","12","9","16","So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram."
"kjv","12","9","17","And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?"
"kjv","12","9","18","So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again."
"kjv","12","9","19","Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me."
"kjv","12","9","20","And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously."
"kjv","12","9","21","And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite."
"kjv","12","9","22","And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?"
"kjv","12","9","23","And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah."
"kjv","12","9","24","And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot."
"kjv","12","9","25","Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;"
"kjv","12","9","26","Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","12","9","27","But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there."
"kjv","12","9","28","And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David."
"kjv","12","9","29","And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah."
"kjv","12","9","30","And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window."
"kjv","12","9","31","And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?"
"kjv","12","9","32","And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs."
"kjv","12","9","33","And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot."
"kjv","12","9","34","And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter."
"kjv","12","9","35","And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands."
"kjv","12","9","36","Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:"
"kjv","12","9","37","And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel."
"kjv","12","10","1","And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,"
"kjv","12","10","2","Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;"
"kjv","12","10","3","Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house."
"kjv","12","10","4","But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?"
"kjv","12","10","5","And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes."
"kjv","12","10","6","Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up."
"kjv","12","10","7","And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel."
"kjv","12","10","8","And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning."
"kjv","12","10","9","And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?"
"kjv","12","10","10","Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah."
"kjv","12","10","11","So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining."
"kjv","12","10","12","And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,"
"kjv","12","10","13","Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen."
"kjv","12","10","14","And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them."
"kjv","12","10","15","And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot."
"kjv","12","10","16","And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot."
"kjv","12","10","17","And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah."
"kjv","12","10","18","And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much."
"kjv","12","10","19","Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal."
"kjv","12","10","20","And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it."
"kjv","12","10","21","And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another."
"kjv","12","10","22","And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments."
"kjv","12","10","23","And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only."
"kjv","12","10","24","And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him."
"kjv","12","10","25","And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal."
"kjv","12","10","26","And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them."
"kjv","12","10","27","And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day."
"kjv","12","10","28","Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel."
"kjv","12","10","29","Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan."
"kjv","12","10","30","And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel."
"kjv","12","10","31","But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin."
"kjv","12","10","32","In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;"
"kjv","12","10","33","From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan."
"kjv","12","10","34","Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","10","35","And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","10","36","And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years."
"kjv","12","11","1","And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal."
"kjv","12","11","2","But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain."
"kjv","12","11","3","And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land."
"kjv","12","11","4","And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son."
"kjv","12","11","5","And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;"
"kjv","12","11","6","And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down."
"kjv","12","11","7","And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king."
"kjv","12","11","8","And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in."
"kjv","12","11","9","And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest."
"kjv","12","11","10","And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD."
"kjv","12","11","11","And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple."
"kjv","12","11","12","And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king."
"kjv","12","11","13","And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD."
"kjv","12","11","14","And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason."
"kjv","12","11","15","But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","11","16","And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain."
"kjv","12","11","17","And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people."
"kjv","12","11","18","And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","11","19","And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings."
"kjv","12","11","20","And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house."
"kjv","12","11","21","Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign."
"kjv","12","12","1","In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba."
"kjv","12","12","2","And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him."
"kjv","12","12","3","But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places."
"kjv","12","12","4","And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,"
"kjv","12","12","5","Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found."
"kjv","12","12","6","But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house."
"kjv","12","12","7","Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."
"kjv","12","12","8","And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house."
"kjv","12","12","9","But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","12","10","And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","12","11","And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,"
"kjv","12","12","12","And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it."
"kjv","12","12","13","Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:"
"kjv","12","12","14","But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","12","15","Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully."
"kjv","12","12","16","The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'."
"kjv","12","12","17","Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","12","18","And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","12","19","And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","12","20","And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla."
"kjv","12","12","21","For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","13","1","In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years."
"kjv","12","13","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom."
"kjv","12","13","3","And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days."
"kjv","12","13","4","And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them."
"kjv","12","13","5","(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime."
"kjv","12","13","6","Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)"
"kjv","12","13","7","Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing."
"kjv","12","13","8","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","13","9","And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","13","10","In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years."
"kjv","12","13","11","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein."
"kjv","12","13","12","And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","13","13","And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel."
"kjv","12","13","14","Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof."
"kjv","12","13","15","And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows."
"kjv","12","13","16","And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands."
"kjv","12","13","17","And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them."
"kjv","12","13","18","And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed."
"kjv","12","13","19","And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice."
"kjv","12","13","20","And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year."
"kjv","12","13","21","And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet."
"kjv","12","13","22","But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz."
"kjv","12","13","23","And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet."
"kjv","12","13","24","So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","13","25","And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel."
"kjv","12","14","1","In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah."
"kjv","12","14","2","He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","14","3","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did."
"kjv","12","14","4","Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places."
"kjv","12","14","5","And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father."
"kjv","12","14","6","But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin."
"kjv","12","14","7","He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day."
"kjv","12","14","8","Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face."
"kjv","12","14","9","And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle."
"kjv","12","14","10","Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?"
"kjv","12","14","11","But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah."
"kjv","12","14","12","And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents."
"kjv","12","14","13","And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits."
"kjv","12","14","14","And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria."
"kjv","12","14","15","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","14","16","And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","14","17","And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
"kjv","12","14","18","And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","14","19","Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there."
"kjv","12","14","20","And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David."
"kjv","12","14","21","And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah."
"kjv","12","14","22","He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers."
"kjv","12","14","23","In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty and one years."
"kjv","12","14","24","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin."
"kjv","12","14","25","He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher."
"kjv","12","14","26","For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel."
"kjv","12","14","27","And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash."
"kjv","12","14","28","Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","14","29","And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","15","1","In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign."
"kjv","12","15","2","Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","15","3","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;"
"kjv","12","15","4","Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places."
"kjv","12","15","5","And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land."
"kjv","12","15","6","And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","15","7","So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","15","8","In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months."
"kjv","12","15","9","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin."
"kjv","12","15","10","And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","15","11","And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","12","15","12","This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass."
"kjv","12","15","13","Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria."
"kjv","12","15","14","For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","15","15","And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","12","15","16","Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up."
"kjv","12","15","17","In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria."
"kjv","12","15","18","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin."
"kjv","12","15","19","And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand."
"kjv","12","15","20","And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land."
"kjv","12","15","21","And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"kjv","12","15","22","And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","15","23","In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years."
"kjv","12","15","24","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin."
"kjv","12","15","25","But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room."
"kjv","12","15","26","And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","12","15","27","In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years."
"kjv","12","15","28","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin."
"kjv","12","15","29","In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria."
"kjv","12","15","30","And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah."
"kjv","12","15","31","And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","12","15","32","In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign."
"kjv","12","15","33","Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok."
"kjv","12","15","34","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done."
"kjv","12","15","35","Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","15","36","Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","15","37","In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah."
"kjv","12","15","38","And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","16","1","In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign."
"kjv","12","16","2","Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father."
"kjv","12","16","3","But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel."
"kjv","12","16","4","And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree."
"kjv","12","16","5","Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him."
"kjv","12","16","6","At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day."
"kjv","12","16","7","So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me."
"kjv","12","16","8","And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria."
"kjv","12","16","9","And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin."
"kjv","12","16","10","And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof."
"kjv","12","16","11","And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus."
"kjv","12","16","12","And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon."
"kjv","12","16","13","And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar."
"kjv","12","16","14","And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar."
"kjv","12","16","15","And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by."
"kjv","12","16","16","Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded."
"kjv","12","16","17","And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones."
"kjv","12","16","18","And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria."
"kjv","12","16","19","Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","16","20","And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","17","1","In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years."
"kjv","12","17","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him."
"kjv","12","17","3","Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents."
"kjv","12","17","4","And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison."
"kjv","12","17","5","Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years."
"kjv","12","17","6","In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes."
"kjv","12","17","7","For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,"
"kjv","12","17","8","And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made."
"kjv","12","17","9","And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city."
"kjv","12","17","10","And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:"
"kjv","12","17","11","And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:"
"kjv","12","17","12","For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing."
"kjv","12","17","13","Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets."
"kjv","12","17","14","Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God."
"kjv","12","17","15","And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them."
"kjv","12","17","16","And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal."
"kjv","12","17","17","And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
"kjv","12","17","18","Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only."
"kjv","12","17","19","Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made."
"kjv","12","17","20","And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight."
"kjv","12","17","21","For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin."
"kjv","12","17","22","For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;"
"kjv","12","17","23","Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day."
"kjv","12","17","24","And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof."
"kjv","12","17","25","And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them."
"kjv","12","17","26","Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land."
"kjv","12","17","27","Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land."
"kjv","12","17","28","Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD."
"kjv","12","17","29","Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt."
"kjv","12","17","30","And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,"
"kjv","12","17","31","And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim."
"kjv","12","17","32","So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places."
"kjv","12","17","33","They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence."
"kjv","12","17","34","Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;"
"kjv","12","17","35","With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:"
"kjv","12","17","36","But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice."
"kjv","12","17","37","And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods."
"kjv","12","17","38","And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods."
"kjv","12","17","39","But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies."
"kjv","12","17","40","Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner."
"kjv","12","17","41","So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day."
"kjv","12","18","1","Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign."
"kjv","12","18","2","Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah."
"kjv","12","18","3","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did."
"kjv","12","18","4","He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan."
"kjv","12","18","5","He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him."
"kjv","12","18","6","For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses."
"kjv","12","18","7","And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not."
"kjv","12","18","8","He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city."
"kjv","12","18","9","And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it."
"kjv","12","18","10","And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken."
"kjv","12","18","11","And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:"
"kjv","12","18","12","Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them."
"kjv","12","18","13","Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them."
"kjv","12","18","14","And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold."
"kjv","12","18","15","And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house."
"kjv","12","18","16","At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria."
"kjv","12","18","17","And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field."
"kjv","12","18","18","And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder."
"kjv","12","18","19","And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?"
"kjv","12","18","20","Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?"
"kjv","12","18","21","Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him."
"kjv","12","18","22","But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?"
"kjv","12","18","23","Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them."
"kjv","12","18","24","How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?"
"kjv","12","18","25","Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it."
"kjv","12","18","26","Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall."
"kjv","12","18","27","But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?"
"kjv","12","18","28","Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:"
"kjv","12","18","29","Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:"
"kjv","12","18","30","Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria."
"kjv","12","18","31","Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:"
"kjv","12","18","32","Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us."
"kjv","12","18","33","Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?"
"kjv","12","18","34","Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?"
"kjv","12","18","35","Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?"
"kjv","12","18","36","But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not."
"kjv","12","18","37","Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh."
"kjv","12","19","1","And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","19","2","And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz."
"kjv","12","19","3","And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth."
"kjv","12","19","4","It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left."
"kjv","12","19","5","So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah."
"kjv","12","19","6","And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me."
"kjv","12","19","7","Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."
"kjv","12","19","8","So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish."
"kjv","12","19","9","And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,"
"kjv","12","19","10","Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria."
"kjv","12","19","11","Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?"
"kjv","12","19","12","Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?"
"kjv","12","19","13","Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?"
"kjv","12","19","14","And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD."
"kjv","12","19","15","And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth."
"kjv","12","19","16","LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God."
"kjv","12","19","17","Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,"
"kjv","12","19","18","And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them."
"kjv","12","19","19","Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only."
"kjv","12","19","20","Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard."
"kjv","12","19","21","This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee."
"kjv","12","19","22","Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","12","19","23","By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel."
"kjv","12","19","24","I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places."
"kjv","12","19","25","Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps."
"kjv","12","19","26","Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up."
"kjv","12","19","27","But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me."
"kjv","12","19","28","Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest."
"kjv","12","19","29","And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof."
"kjv","12","19","30","And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward."
"kjv","12","19","31","For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this."
"kjv","12","19","32","Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it."
"kjv","12","19","33","By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD."
"kjv","12","19","34","For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake."
"kjv","12","19","35","And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses."
"kjv","12","19","36","So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh."
"kjv","12","19","37","And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","20","1","In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live."
"kjv","12","20","2","Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","12","20","3","I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore."
"kjv","12","20","4","And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,"
"kjv","12","20","5","Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","20","6","And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake."
"kjv","12","20","7","And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered."
"kjv","12","20","8","And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?"
"kjv","12","20","9","And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?"
"kjv","12","20","10","And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees."
"kjv","12","20","11","And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
"kjv","12","20","12","At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick."
"kjv","12","20","13","And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not."
"kjv","12","20","14","Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon."
"kjv","12","20","15","And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them."
"kjv","12","20","16","And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD."
"kjv","12","20","17","Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD."
"kjv","12","20","18","And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."
"kjv","12","20","19","Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?"
"kjv","12","20","20","And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","20","21","And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","21","1","Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah."
"kjv","12","21","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel."
"kjv","12","21","3","For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them."
"kjv","12","21","4","And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name."
"kjv","12","21","5","And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","21","6","And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
"kjv","12","21","7","And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:"
"kjv","12","21","8","Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them."
"kjv","12","21","9","But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel."
"kjv","12","21","10","And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,"
"kjv","12","21","11","Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:"
"kjv","12","21","12","Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle."
"kjv","12","21","13","And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down."
"kjv","12","21","14","And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;"
"kjv","12","21","15","Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day."
"kjv","12","21","16","Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD."
"kjv","12","21","17","Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","21","18","And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","21","19","Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah."
"kjv","12","21","20","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did."
"kjv","12","21","21","And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:"
"kjv","12","21","22","And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD."
"kjv","12","21","23","And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house."
"kjv","12","21","24","And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead."
"kjv","12","21","25","Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","21","26","And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","22","1","Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath."
"kjv","12","22","2","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left."
"kjv","12","22","3","And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","12","22","4","Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:"
"kjv","12","22","5","And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,"
"kjv","12","22","6","Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house."
"kjv","12","22","7","Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully."
"kjv","12","22","8","And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it."
"kjv","12","22","9","And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","22","10","And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king."
"kjv","12","22","11","And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes."
"kjv","12","22","12","And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,"
"kjv","12","22","13","Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us."
"kjv","12","22","14","So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her."
"kjv","12","22","15","And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,"
"kjv","12","22","16","Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:"
"kjv","12","22","17","Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched."
"kjv","12","22","18","But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;"
"kjv","12","22","19","Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD."
"kjv","12","22","20","Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again."
"kjv","12","23","1","And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","23","2","And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","23","3","And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant."
"kjv","12","23","4","And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel."
"kjv","12","23","5","And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven."
"kjv","12","23","6","And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people."
"kjv","12","23","7","And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove."
"kjv","12","23","8","And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city."
"kjv","12","23","9","Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren."
"kjv","12","23","10","And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech."
"kjv","12","23","11","And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire."
"kjv","12","23","12","And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron."
"kjv","12","23","13","And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile."
"kjv","12","23","14","And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men."
"kjv","12","23","15","Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove."
"kjv","12","23","16","And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words."
"kjv","12","23","17","Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel."
"kjv","12","23","18","And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria."
"kjv","12","23","19","And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel."
"kjv","12","23","20","And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","23","21","And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant."
"kjv","12","23","22","Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;"
"kjv","12","23","23","But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","23","24","Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","12","23","25","And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him."
"kjv","12","23","26","Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal."
"kjv","12","23","27","And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there."
"kjv","12","23","28","Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","23","29","In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him."
"kjv","12","23","30","And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead."
"kjv","12","23","31","Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah."
"kjv","12","23","32","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done."
"kjv","12","23","33","And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold."
"kjv","12","23","34","And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there."
"kjv","12","23","35","And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh."
"kjv","12","23","36","Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah."
"kjv","12","23","37","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done."
"kjv","12","24","1","In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him."
"kjv","12","24","2","And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets."
"kjv","12","24","3","Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;"
"kjv","12","24","4","And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon."
"kjv","12","24","5","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"kjv","12","24","6","So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","12","24","7","And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt."
"kjv","12","24","8","Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem."
"kjv","12","24","9","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done."
"kjv","12","24","10","At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged."
"kjv","12","24","11","And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it."
"kjv","12","24","12","And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign."
"kjv","12","24","13","And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said."
"kjv","12","24","14","And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land."
"kjv","12","24","15","And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon."
"kjv","12","24","16","And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon."
"kjv","12","24","17","And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah."
"kjv","12","24","18","Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah."
"kjv","12","24","19","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done."
"kjv","12","24","20","For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon."
"kjv","12","25","1","And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it: and they built forts against it round about."
"kjv","12","25","2","And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah."
"kjv","12","25","3","And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land."
"kjv","12","25","4","And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain."

"kjv","13","9","7","And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,"
"kjv","13","9","8","And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;"
"kjv","13","9","9","And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers."
"kjv","13","9","10","And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,"
"kjv","13","9","11","And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;"
"kjv","13","9","12","And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;"
"kjv","13","9","13","And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God."
"kjv","13","9","14","And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;"
"kjv","13","9","15","And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;"
"kjv","13","9","16","And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites."
"kjv","13","9","17","And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;"
"kjv","13","9","18","Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi."
"kjv","13","9","19","And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry."
"kjv","13","9","20","And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him."
"kjv","13","9","21","And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."
"kjv","13","9","22","All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office."
"kjv","13","9","23","So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards."
"kjv","13","9","24","In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south."
"kjv","13","9","25","And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them."
"kjv","13","9","26","For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God."
"kjv","13","9","27","And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them."
"kjv","13","9","28","And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale."
"kjv","13","9","29","Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices."
"kjv","13","9","30","And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices."
"kjv","13","9","31","And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans."
"kjv","13","9","32","And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath."
"kjv","13","9","33","And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night."
"kjv","13","9","34","These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem."
"kjv","13","9","35","And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:"
"kjv","13","9","36","And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,"
"kjv","13","9","37","And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth."
"kjv","13","9","38","And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren."
"kjv","13","9","39","And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal."
"kjv","13","9","40","And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah."
"kjv","13","9","41","And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz."
"kjv","13","9","42","And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;"
"kjv","13","9","43","And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son."
"kjv","13","9","44","And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel."
"kjv","13","10","1","Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa."
"kjv","13","10","2","And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul."
"kjv","13","10","3","And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers."
"kjv","13","10","4","Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it."
"kjv","13","10","5","And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died."
"kjv","13","10","6","So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together."
"kjv","13","10","7","And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them."
"kjv","13","10","8","And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa."
"kjv","13","10","9","And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people."
"kjv","13","10","10","And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon."
"kjv","13","10","11","And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,"
"kjv","13","10","12","They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days."
"kjv","13","10","13","So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;"
"kjv","13","10","14","And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse."
"kjv","13","11","1","Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh."
"kjv","13","11","2","And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel."
"kjv","13","11","3","Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel."
"kjv","13","11","4","And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land."
"kjv","13","11","5","And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David."
"kjv","13","11","6","And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief."
"kjv","13","11","7","And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David."
"kjv","13","11","8","And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city."
"kjv","13","11","9","So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him."
"kjv","13","11","10","These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel."
"kjv","13","11","11","And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time."
"kjv","13","11","12","And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties."
"kjv","13","11","13","He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines."
"kjv","13","11","14","And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance."
"kjv","13","11","15","Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim."
"kjv","13","11","16","And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem."
"kjv","13","11","17","And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!"
"kjv","13","11","18","And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,"
"kjv","13","11","19","And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest."
"kjv","13","11","20","And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three."
"kjv","13","11","21","Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three."
"kjv","13","11","22","Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day."
"kjv","13","11","23","And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear."
"kjv","13","11","24","These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties."
"kjv","13","11","25","Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard."
"kjv","13","11","26","Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,"
"kjv","13","11","27","Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,"
"kjv","13","11","28","Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,"
"kjv","13","11","29","Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,"

"kjv","13","11","41","Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,"
"kjv","13","11","42","Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,"
"kjv","13","11","43","Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,"

"kjv","13","11","47","Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite."
"kjv","13","12","1","Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war."
"kjv","13","12","2","They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin."
"kjv","13","12","3","The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,"
"kjv","13","12","4","And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,"
"kjv","13","12","5","Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,"

"kjv","13","12","7","And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor."
"kjv","13","12","8","And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;"
"kjv","13","12","9","Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,"
"kjv","13","12","10","Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,"
"kjv","13","12","11","Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,"
"kjv","13","12","12","Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,"
"kjv","13","12","13","Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh."
"kjv","13","12","14","These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand."
"kjv","13","12","15","These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west."
"kjv","13","12","16","And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David."
"kjv","13","12","17","And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it."
"kjv","13","12","18","Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band."
"kjv","13","12","19","And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads."
"kjv","13","12","20","As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh."
"kjv","13","12","21","And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host."
"kjv","13","12","22","For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God."
"kjv","13","12","23","And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","13","12","24","The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war."
"kjv","13","12","25","Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred."
"kjv","13","12","26","Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred."
"kjv","13","12","27","And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;"
"kjv","13","12","28","And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains."
"kjv","13","12","29","And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul."
"kjv","13","12","30","And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers."
"kjv","13","12","31","And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king."
"kjv","13","12","32","And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment."
"kjv","13","12","33","Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart."
"kjv","13","12","34","And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand."
"kjv","13","12","35","And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred."
"kjv","13","12","36","And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand."
"kjv","13","12","37","And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand."
"kjv","13","12","38","All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king."
"kjv","13","12","39","And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them."
"kjv","13","12","40","Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel."
"kjv","13","13","1","And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader."
"kjv","13","13","2","And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:"
"kjv","13","13","3","And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul."
"kjv","13","13","4","And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people."
"kjv","13","13","5","So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim."
"kjv","13","13","6","And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it."
"kjv","13","13","7","And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart."
"kjv","13","13","8","And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets."
"kjv","13","13","9","And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled."
"kjv","13","13","10","And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God."
"kjv","13","13","11","And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day."
"kjv","13","13","12","And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?"
"kjv","13","13","13","So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite."
"kjv","13","13","14","And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had."
"kjv","13","14","1","Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house."
"kjv","13","14","2","And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel."
"kjv","13","14","3","And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters."
"kjv","13","14","4","Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,"
"kjv","13","14","5","And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,"
"kjv","13","14","6","And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,"
"kjv","13","14","7","And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet."
"kjv","13","14","8","And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them."
"kjv","13","14","9","And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim."
"kjv","13","14","10","And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand."
"kjv","13","14","11","So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim."
"kjv","13","14","12","And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire."
"kjv","13","14","13","And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley."
"kjv","13","14","14","Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees."
"kjv","13","14","15","And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines."
"kjv","13","14","16","David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer."
"kjv","13","14","17","And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations."
"kjv","13","15","1","And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent."
"kjv","13","15","2","Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever."
"kjv","13","15","3","And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it."
"kjv","13","15","4","And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:"
"kjv","13","15","5","Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:"
"kjv","13","15","6","Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:"
"kjv","13","15","7","Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:"
"kjv","13","15","8","Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:"
"kjv","13","15","9","Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:"
"kjv","13","15","10","Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve."
"kjv","13","15","11","And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,"
"kjv","13","15","12","And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it."
"kjv","13","15","13","For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order."
"kjv","13","15","14","So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","13","15","15","And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD."
"kjv","13","15","16","And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy."
"kjv","13","15","17","So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;"
"kjv","13","15","18","And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters."
"kjv","13","15","19","So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;"
"kjv","13","15","20","And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;"
"kjv","13","15","21","And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel."
"kjv","13","15","22","And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful."
"kjv","13","15","23","And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark."
"kjv","13","15","24","And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark."
"kjv","13","15","25","So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy."
"kjv","13","15","26","And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams."
"kjv","13","15","27","And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen."
"kjv","13","15","28","Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps."
"kjv","13","15","29","And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart."
"kjv","13","16","1","So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God."
"kjv","13","16","2","And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD."
"kjv","13","16","3","And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine."
"kjv","13","16","4","And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:"
"kjv","13","16","5","Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;"
"kjv","13","16","6","Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God."
"kjv","13","16","7","Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren."
"kjv","13","16","8","Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people."
"kjv","13","16","9","Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works."
"kjv","13","16","10","Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD."
"kjv","13","16","11","Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually."
"kjv","13","16","12","Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;"
"kjv","13","16","13","O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones."
"kjv","13","16","14","He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth."
"kjv","13","16","15","Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;"
"kjv","13","16","16","Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;"
"kjv","13","16","17","And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,"
"kjv","13","16","18","Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;"
"kjv","13","16","19","When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it."
"kjv","13","16","20","And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;"
"kjv","13","16","21","He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,"
"kjv","13","16","22","Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm."
"kjv","13","16","23","Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation."
"kjv","13","16","24","Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations."
"kjv","13","16","25","For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods."
"kjv","13","16","26","For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens."
"kjv","13","16","27","Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place."
"kjv","13","16","28","Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength."
"kjv","13","16","29","Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness."
"kjv","13","16","30","Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved."
"kjv","13","16","31","Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth."
"kjv","13","16","32","Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein."
"kjv","13","16","33","Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth."
"kjv","13","16","34","O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever."
"kjv","13","16","35","And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise."
"kjv","13","16","36","Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD."
"kjv","13","16","37","So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:"
"kjv","13","16","38","And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:"
"kjv","13","16","39","And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,"
"kjv","13","16","40","To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;"
"kjv","13","16","41","And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;"
"kjv","13","16","42","And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters."
"kjv","13","16","43","And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house."
"kjv","13","17","1","Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains."
"kjv","13","17","2","Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee."
"kjv","13","17","3","And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,"
"kjv","13","17","4","Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:"
"kjv","13","17","5","For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another."
"kjv","13","17","6","Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?"
"kjv","13","17","7","Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:"
"kjv","13","17","8","And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth."
"kjv","13","17","9","Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,"
"kjv","13","17","10","And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house."
"kjv","13","17","11","And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom."
"kjv","13","17","12","He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever."
"kjv","13","17","13","I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:"
"kjv","13","17","14","But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore."
"kjv","13","17","15","According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David."
"kjv","13","17","16","And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?"
"kjv","13","17","17","And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God."
"kjv","13","17","18","What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant."
"kjv","13","17","19","O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things."
"kjv","13","17","20","O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears."
"kjv","13","17","21","And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?"
"kjv","13","17","22","For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God."
"kjv","13","17","23","Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said."
"kjv","13","17","24","Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee."
"kjv","13","17","25","For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee."
"kjv","13","17","26","And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:"
"kjv","13","17","27","Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever."
"kjv","13","18","1","Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines."
"kjv","13","18","2","And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts."
"kjv","13","18","3","And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates."
"kjv","13","18","4","And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots."
"kjv","13","18","5","And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men."
"kjv","13","18","6","Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went."
"kjv","13","18","7","And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem."
"kjv","13","18","8","Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass."
"kjv","13","18","9","Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;"
"kjv","13","18","10","He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass."
"kjv","13","18","11","Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek."
"kjv","13","18","12","Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand."
"kjv","13","18","13","And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went."
"kjv","13","18","14","So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people."
"kjv","13","18","15","And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder."
"kjv","13","18","16","And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;"
"kjv","13","18","17","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king."
"kjv","13","19","1","Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","13","19","2","And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him."
"kjv","13","19","3","But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?"
"kjv","13","19","4","Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away."
"kjv","13","19","5","Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return."
"kjv","13","19","6","And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah."
"kjv","13","19","7","So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle."
"kjv","13","19","8","And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men."
"kjv","13","19","9","And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field."
"kjv","13","19","10","Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians."
"kjv","13","19","11","And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon."
"kjv","13","19","12","And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee."
"kjv","13","19","13","Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight."
"kjv","13","19","14","So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him."
"kjv","13","19","15","And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem."
"kjv","13","19","16","And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them."
"kjv","13","19","17","And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him."
"kjv","13","19","18","But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host."
"kjv","13","19","19","And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more."
"kjv","13","20","1","And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it."
"kjv","13","20","2","And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city."
"kjv","13","20","3","And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","13","20","4","And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued."
"kjv","13","20","5","And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam."
"kjv","13","20","6","And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant."
"kjv","13","20","7","But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him."
"kjv","13","20","8","These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants."
"kjv","13","21","1","And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel."
"kjv","13","21","2","And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it."
"kjv","13","21","3","And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?"
"kjv","13","21","4","Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem."
"kjv","13","21","5","And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword."
"kjv","13","21","6","But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab."
"kjv","13","21","7","And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel."
"kjv","13","21","8","And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."
"kjv","13","21","9","And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,"
"kjv","13","21","10","Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee."
"kjv","13","21","11","So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee"
"kjv","13","21","12","Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me."
"kjv","13","21","13","And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man."
"kjv","13","21","14","So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men."
"kjv","13","21","15","And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite."
"kjv","13","21","16","And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces."
"kjv","13","21","17","And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued."
"kjv","13","21","18","Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite."
"kjv","13","21","19","And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD."
"kjv","13","21","20","And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat."
"kjv","13","21","21","And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground."
"kjv","13","21","22","Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people."
"kjv","13","21","23","And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all."
"kjv","13","21","24","And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost."
"kjv","13","21","25","So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight."
"kjv","13","21","26","And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering."
"kjv","13","21","27","And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof."
"kjv","13","21","28","At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there."
"kjv","13","21","29","For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon."
"kjv","13","21","30","But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD."
"kjv","13","22","1","Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel."
"kjv","13","22","2","And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God."
"kjv","13","22","3","And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;"
"kjv","13","22","4","Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David."
"kjv","13","22","5","And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death."
"kjv","13","22","6","Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","13","22","7","And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:"
"kjv","13","22","8","But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight."
"kjv","13","22","9","Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days."
"kjv","13","22","10","He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever."
"kjv","13","22","11","Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee."
"kjv","13","22","12","Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God."
"kjv","13","22","13","Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed."
"kjv","13","22","14","Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto."
"kjv","13","22","15","Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work."
"kjv","13","22","16","Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee."
"kjv","13","22","17","David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,"
"kjv","13","22","18","Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people."
"kjv","13","22","19","Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD."
"kjv","13","23","1","So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel."
"kjv","13","23","2","And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites."
"kjv","13","23","3","Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand."
"kjv","13","23","4","Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:"
"kjv","13","23","5","Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith."
"kjv","13","23","6","And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari."
"kjv","13","23","7","Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei."
"kjv","13","23","8","The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three."
"kjv","13","23","9","The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan."
"kjv","13","23","10","And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei."
"kjv","13","23","11","And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house."
"kjv","13","23","12","The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four."
"kjv","13","23","13","The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever."
"kjv","13","23","14","Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi."
"kjv","13","23","15","The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer."
"kjv","13","23","16","Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief."
"kjv","13","23","17","And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many."
"kjv","13","23","18","Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief."
"kjv","13","23","19","Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth."
"kjv","13","23","20","Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second."
"kjv","13","23","21","The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish."
"kjv","13","23","22","And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them."
"kjv","13","23","23","The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three."
"kjv","13","23","24","These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward."
"kjv","13","23","25","For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:"
"kjv","13","23","26","And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof."
"kjv","13","23","27","For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:"
"kjv","13","23","28","Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;"
"kjv","13","23","29","Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;"
"kjv","13","23","30","And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;"
"kjv","13","23","31","And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:"
"kjv","13","23","32","And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","13","24","1","Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar."
"kjv","13","24","2","But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office."
"kjv","13","24","3","And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service."
"kjv","13","24","4","And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers."
"kjv","13","24","5","Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar."
"kjv","13","24","6","And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar."
"kjv","13","24","7","Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,"
"kjv","13","24","8","The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,"
"kjv","13","24","9","The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,"
"kjv","13","24","10","The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,"
"kjv","13","24","11","The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,"
"kjv","13","24","12","The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,"
"kjv","13","24","13","The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,"
"kjv","13","24","14","The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,"
"kjv","13","24","15","The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,"
"kjv","13","24","16","The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,"
"kjv","13","24","17","The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,"
"kjv","13","24","18","The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah."
"kjv","13","24","19","These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him."
"kjv","13","24","20","And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah."
"kjv","13","24","21","Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah."
"kjv","13","24","22","Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath."
"kjv","13","24","23","And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth."
"kjv","13","24","24","Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir."
"kjv","13","24","25","The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah."
"kjv","13","24","26","The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno."
"kjv","13","24","27","The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri."
"kjv","13","24","28","Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons."
"kjv","13","24","29","Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel."
"kjv","13","24","30","The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers."
"kjv","13","24","31","These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren."
"kjv","13","25","1","Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:"
"kjv","13","25","2","Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king."
"kjv","13","25","3","Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD."
"kjv","13","25","4","Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:"
"kjv","13","25","5","All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters."
"kjv","13","25","6","All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman."
"kjv","13","25","7","So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight."
"kjv","13","25","8","And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar."
"kjv","13","25","9","Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve:"

"kjv","13","26","12","Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","13","26","13","And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate."
"kjv","13","26","14","And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward."

"kjv","13","28","5","And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel."
"kjv","13","28","6","And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father."
"kjv","13","28","7","Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day."
"kjv","13","28","8","Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever."
"kjv","13","28","9","And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever."
"kjv","13","28","10","Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it."
"kjv","13","28","11","Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,"
"kjv","13","28","12","And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:"
"kjv","13","28","13","Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","13","28","14","He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:"
"kjv","13","28","15","Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick."
"kjv","13","28","16","And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:"
"kjv","13","28","17","Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver:"
"kjv","13","28","18","And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD."
"kjv","13","28","19","All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern."
"kjv","13","28","20","And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","13","28","21","And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment."
"kjv","13","29","1","Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God."
"kjv","13","29","2","Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance."
"kjv","13","29","3","Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,"
"kjv","13","29","4","Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal:"
"kjv","13","29","5","The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?"
"kjv","13","29","6","Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,"
"kjv","13","29","7","And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron."
"kjv","13","29","8","And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite."
"kjv","13","29","9","Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy."
"kjv","13","29","10","Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever."
"kjv","13","29","11","Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all."
"kjv","13","29","12","Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all."
"kjv","13","29","13","Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name."
"kjv","13","29","14","But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee."
"kjv","13","29","15","For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding."
"kjv","13","29","16","O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own."
"kjv","13","29","17","I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee."
"kjv","13","29","18","O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:"
"kjv","13","29","19","And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision."
"kjv","13","29","20","And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king."
"kjv","13","29","21","And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:"
"kjv","13","29","22","And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest."
"kjv","13","29","23","Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him."
"kjv","13","29","24","And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king."
"kjv","13","29","25","And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel."
"kjv","13","29","26","Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel."
"kjv","13","29","27","And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem."
"kjv","13","29","28","And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","13","29","29","Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,"
"kjv","13","29","30","With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries."
"kjv","14","1","1","And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly."
"kjv","14","1","2","Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers."
"kjv","14","1","3","So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness."
"kjv","14","1","4","But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","1","5","Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it."
"kjv","14","1","6","And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it."
"kjv","14","1","7","In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee."
"kjv","14","1","8","And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead."
"kjv","14","1","9","Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude."
"kjv","14","1","10","Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?"
"kjv","14","1","11","And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:"
"kjv","14","1","12","Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like."
"kjv","14","1","13","Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel."
"kjv","14","1","14","And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","1","15","And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance."
"kjv","14","1","16","And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price."
"kjv","14","1","17","And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means."
"kjv","14","2","1","And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom."
"kjv","14","2","2","And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them."
"kjv","14","2","3","And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me."
"kjv","14","2","4","Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel."
"kjv","14","2","5","And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods."
"kjv","14","2","6","But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?"
"kjv","14","2","7","Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide."
"kjv","14","2","8","Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,"
"kjv","14","2","9","Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great."
"kjv","14","2","10","And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."
"kjv","14","2","11","Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them."
"kjv","14","2","12","Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom."
"kjv","14","2","13","And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,"
"kjv","14","2","14","The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father."
"kjv","14","2","15","Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:"
"kjv","14","2","16","And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","2","17","And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred."
"kjv","14","2","18","And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work."
"kjv","14","3","1","Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite."
"kjv","14","3","2","And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign."
"kjv","14","3","3","Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits."
"kjv","14","3","4","And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold."
"kjv","14","3","5","And the greater house he ceiled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains."
"kjv","14","3","6","And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim."
"kjv","14","3","7","He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls."
"kjv","14","3","8","And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents."
"kjv","14","3","9","And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold."
"kjv","14","3","10","And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold."
"kjv","14","3","11","And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub."
"kjv","14","3","12","And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub."
"kjv","14","3","13","The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward."
"kjv","14","3","14","And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon."
"kjv","14","3","15","Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits."
"kjv","14","3","16","And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains."
"kjv","14","3","17","And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz."
"kjv","14","4","1","Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof."
"kjv","14","4","2","Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about."
"kjv","14","4","3","And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast."
"kjv","14","4","4","It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward."
"kjv","14","4","5","And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths."
"kjv","14","4","6","He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in."
"kjv","14","4","7","And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left."
"kjv","14","4","8","He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basins of gold."
"kjv","14","4","9","Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass."
"kjv","14","4","10","And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south."
"kjv","14","4","11","And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;"
"kjv","14","4","12","To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;"
"kjv","14","4","13","And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars."
"kjv","14","4","14","He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;"
"kjv","14","4","15","One sea, and twelve oxen under it."
"kjv","14","4","16","The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass."
"kjv","14","4","17","In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah."
"kjv","14","4","18","Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out."
"kjv","14","4","19","And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;"
"kjv","14","4","20","Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;"
"kjv","14","4","21","And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;"
"kjv","14","4","22","And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold."
"kjv","14","5","1","Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God."
"kjv","14","5","2","Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion."
"kjv","14","5","3","Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month."
"kjv","14","5","4","And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark."
"kjv","14","5","5","And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up."
"kjv","14","5","6","Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude."
"kjv","14","5","7","And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:"
"kjv","14","5","8","For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above."
"kjv","14","5","9","And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day."
"kjv","14","5","10","There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt."
"kjv","14","5","11","And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:"
"kjv","14","5","12","Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)"
"kjv","14","5","13","It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;"
"kjv","14","5","14","So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God."
"kjv","14","6","1","Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness."
"kjv","14","6","2","But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever."
"kjv","14","6","3","And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood."
"kjv","14","6","4","And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,"
"kjv","14","6","5","Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:"
"kjv","14","6","6","But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel."
"kjv","14","6","7","Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","14","6","8","But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:"
"kjv","14","6","9","Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name."
"kjv","14","6","10","The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","14","6","11","And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel."
"kjv","14","6","12","And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:"
"kjv","14","6","13","For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,"
"kjv","14","6","14","And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:"
"kjv","14","6","15","Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day."
"kjv","14","6","16","Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me."
"kjv","14","6","17","Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David."
"kjv","14","6","18","But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!"
"kjv","14","6","19","Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:"
"kjv","14","6","20","That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place."
"kjv","14","6","21","Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive."
"kjv","14","6","22","If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;"
"kjv","14","6","23","Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness."
"kjv","14","6","24","And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;"
"kjv","14","6","25","Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers."
"kjv","14","6","26","When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;"
"kjv","14","6","27","Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance."
"kjv","14","6","28","If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:"
"kjv","14","6","29","Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:"
"kjv","14","6","30","Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)"
"kjv","14","6","31","That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers."
"kjv","14","6","32","Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;"
"kjv","14","6","33","Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name."
"kjv","14","6","34","If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;"
"kjv","14","6","35","Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause."
"kjv","14","6","36","If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;"
"kjv","14","6","37","Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;"
"kjv","14","6","38","If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:"
"kjv","14","6","39","Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee."
"kjv","14","6","40","Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place."
"kjv","14","6","41","Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness."
"kjv","14","6","42","O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant."
"kjv","14","7","1","Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house."
"kjv","14","7","2","And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house."
"kjv","14","7","3","And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever."
"kjv","14","7","4","Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD."
"kjv","14","7","5","And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God."
"kjv","14","7","6","And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood."
"kjv","14","7","7","Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat."
"kjv","14","7","8","Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt."
"kjv","14","7","9","And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days."
"kjv","14","7","10","And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people."
"kjv","14","7","11","Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected."
"kjv","14","7","12","And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice."
"kjv","14","7","13","If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;"
"kjv","14","7","14","If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
"kjv","14","7","15","Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place."
"kjv","14","7","16","For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually."
"kjv","14","7","17","And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;"
"kjv","14","7","18","Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel."
"kjv","14","7","19","But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;"
"kjv","14","7","20","Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations."
"kjv","14","7","21","And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?"
"kjv","14","7","22","And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them."
"kjv","14","8","1","And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,"
"kjv","14","8","2","That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there."
"kjv","14","8","3","And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it."
"kjv","14","8","4","And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath."
"kjv","14","8","5","Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;"
"kjv","14","8","6","And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion."
"kjv","14","8","7","As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,"
"kjv","14","8","8","But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day."
"kjv","14","8","9","But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen."
"kjv","14","8","10","And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people."
"kjv","14","8","11","And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come."
"kjv","14","8","12","Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,"
"kjv","14","8","13","Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles."
"kjv","14","8","14","And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded."
"kjv","14","8","15","And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures."
"kjv","14","8","16","Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected."
"kjv","14","8","17","Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom."
"kjv","14","8","18","And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon."
"kjv","14","9","1","And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart."
"kjv","14","9","2","And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not."
"kjv","14","9","3","And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,"
"kjv","14","9","4","And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her."
"kjv","14","9","5","And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:"
"kjv","14","9","6","Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard."
"kjv","14","9","7","Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom."
"kjv","14","9","8","Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice."
"kjv","14","9","9","And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon."
"kjv","14","9","10","And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones."
"kjv","14","9","11","And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah."
"kjv","14","9","12","And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants."
"kjv","14","9","13","Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;"
"kjv","14","9","14","Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon."
"kjv","14","9","15","And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target."
"kjv","14","9","16","And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon."
"kjv","14","9","17","Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold."
"kjv","14","9","18","And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:"
"kjv","14","9","19","And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom."
"kjv","14","9","20","And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon."
"kjv","14","9","21","For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."
"kjv","14","9","22","And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom."
"kjv","14","9","23","And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart."
"kjv","14","9","24","And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year."
"kjv","14","9","25","And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","9","26","And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt."
"kjv","14","9","27","And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance."
"kjv","14","9","28","And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands."
"kjv","14","9","29","Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?"
"kjv","14","9","30","And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years."
"kjv","14","9","31","And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","10","1","And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king."
"kjv","14","10","2","And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt."
"kjv","14","10","3","And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,"
"kjv","14","10","4","Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee."
"kjv","14","10","5","And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed."
"kjv","14","10","6","And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?"
"kjv","14","10","7","And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever."
"kjv","14","10","8","But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him."
"kjv","14","10","9","And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?"
"kjv","14","10","10","And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins."
"kjv","14","10","11","For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
"kjv","14","10","12","So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day."
"kjv","14","10","13","And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,"
"kjv","14","10","14","And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
"kjv","14","10","15","So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
"kjv","14","10","16","And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents."
"kjv","14","10","17","But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them."
"kjv","14","10","18","Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","10","19","And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day."
"kjv","14","11","1","And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam."
"kjv","14","11","2","But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,"
"kjv","14","11","3","Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,"
"kjv","14","11","4","Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam."
"kjv","14","11","5","And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah."
"kjv","14","11","6","He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,"
"kjv","14","11","7","And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,"
"kjv","14","11","8","And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,"
"kjv","14","11","9","And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,"
"kjv","14","11","10","And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities."
"kjv","14","11","11","And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine."
"kjv","14","11","12","And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side."
"kjv","14","11","13","And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts."
"kjv","14","11","14","For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:"
"kjv","14","11","15","And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made."
"kjv","14","11","16","And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","11","17","So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon."
"kjv","14","11","18","And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;"
"kjv","14","11","19","Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham."
"kjv","14","11","20","And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith."
"kjv","14","11","21","And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)"
"kjv","14","11","22","And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king."
"kjv","14","11","23","And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives."
"kjv","14","12","1","And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him."
"kjv","14","12","2","And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,"
"kjv","14","12","3","With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians."
"kjv","14","12","4","And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","12","5","Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak."
"kjv","14","12","6","Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous."
"kjv","14","12","7","And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak."
"kjv","14","12","8","Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
"kjv","14","12","9","So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made."
"kjv","14","12","10","Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house."
"kjv","14","12","11","And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber."
"kjv","14","12","12","And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well."
"kjv","14","12","13","So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess."
"kjv","14","12","14","And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD."
"kjv","14","12","15","Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually."
"kjv","14","12","16","And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","13","1","Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah."
"kjv","14","13","2","He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam."
"kjv","14","13","3","And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour."
"kjv","14","13","4","And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;"
"kjv","14","13","5","Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?"
"kjv","14","13","6","Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord."
"kjv","14","13","7","And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them."
"kjv","14","13","8","And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods."
"kjv","14","13","9","Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods."
"kjv","14","13","10","But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:"
"kjv","14","13","11","And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him."
"kjv","14","13","12","And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper."
"kjv","14","13","13","But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them."
"kjv","14","13","14","And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets."
"kjv","14","13","15","Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah."
"kjv","14","13","16","And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand."
"kjv","14","13","17","And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men."
"kjv","14","13","18","Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","13","19","And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof."
"kjv","14","13","20","Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died."
"kjv","14","13","21","But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters."
"kjv","14","13","22","And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo."
"kjv","14","14","1","So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years."
"kjv","14","14","2","And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:"
"kjv","14","14","3","For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:"
"kjv","14","14","4","And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment."
"kjv","14","14","5","Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him."
"kjv","14","14","6","And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest."
"kjv","14","14","7","Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered."
"kjv","14","14","8","And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour."
"kjv","14","14","9","And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah."
"kjv","14","14","10","Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah."
"kjv","14","14","11","And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee."
"kjv","14","14","12","So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled."
"kjv","14","14","13","And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil."
"kjv","14","14","14","And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them."
"kjv","14","14","15","They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","15","1","And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:"
"kjv","14","15","2","And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you."
"kjv","14","15","3","Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law."
"kjv","14","15","4","But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them."
"kjv","14","15","5","And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries."
"kjv","14","15","6","And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity."
"kjv","14","15","7","Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded."
"kjv","14","15","8","And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD."
"kjv","14","15","9","And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him."
"kjv","14","15","10","So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa."
"kjv","14","15","11","And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep."
"kjv","14","15","12","And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;"
"kjv","14","15","13","That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."
"kjv","14","15","14","And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets."
"kjv","14","15","15","And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about."
"kjv","14","15","16","And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron."
"kjv","14","15","17","But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days."
"kjv","14","15","18","And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels."
"kjv","14","15","19","And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa."
"kjv","14","16","1","In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah."
"kjv","14","16","2","Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,"
"kjv","14","16","3","There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
"kjv","14","16","4","And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali."
"kjv","14","16","5","And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease."
"kjv","14","16","6","Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah."
"kjv","14","16","7","And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand."
"kjv","14","16","8","Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand."
"kjv","14","16","9","For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars."
"kjv","14","16","10","Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time."
"kjv","14","16","11","And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
"kjv","14","16","12","And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians."
"kjv","14","16","13","And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign."
"kjv","14","16","14","And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him."
"kjv","14","17","1","And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel."
"kjv","14","17","2","And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken."
"kjv","14","17","3","And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;"
"kjv","14","17","4","But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel."
"kjv","14","17","5","Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance."
"kjv","14","17","6","And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah."
"kjv","14","17","7","Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah."
"kjv","14","17","8","And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests."
"kjv","14","17","9","And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people."
"kjv","14","17","10","And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat."
"kjv","14","17","11","Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats."
"kjv","14","17","12","And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store."
"kjv","14","17","13","And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","17","14","And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand."
"kjv","14","17","15","And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand."
"kjv","14","17","16","And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour."
"kjv","14","17","17","And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand."
"kjv","14","17","18","And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war."
"kjv","14","17","19","These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah."
"kjv","14","18","1","Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab."
"kjv","14","18","2","And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead."
"kjv","14","18","3","And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war."
"kjv","14","18","4","And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day."
"kjv","14","18","5","Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand."
"kjv","14","18","6","But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?"
"kjv","14","18","7","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so."
"kjv","14","18","8","And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla."
"kjv","14","18","9","And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them."
"kjv","14","18","10","And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed."
"kjv","14","18","11","And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king."
"kjv","14","18","12","And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good."
"kjv","14","18","13","And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak."
"kjv","14","18","14","And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand."
"kjv","14","18","15","And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?"
"kjv","14","18","16","Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace."
"kjv","14","18","17","And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?"
"kjv","14","18","18","Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left."
"kjv","14","18","19","And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner."
"kjv","14","18","20","Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?"
"kjv","14","18","21","And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so."
"kjv","14","18","22","Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee."
"kjv","14","18","23","Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?"
"kjv","14","18","24","And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself."
"kjv","14","18","25","Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;"
"kjv","14","18","26","And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace."
"kjv","14","18","27","And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people."
"kjv","14","18","28","So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead."
"kjv","14","18","29","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle."
"kjv","14","18","30","Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel."
"kjv","14","18","31","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him."
"kjv","14","18","32","For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him."
"kjv","14","18","33","And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded."
"kjv","14","18","34","And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died."
"kjv","14","19","1","And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","19","2","And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD."
"kjv","14","19","3","Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God."
"kjv","14","19","4","And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","19","5","And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city,"
"kjv","14","19","6","And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment."
"kjv","14","19","7","Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts."
"kjv","14","19","8","Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","19","9","And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart."
"kjv","14","19","10","And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass."
"kjv","14","19","11","And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good."
"kjv","14","20","1","It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle."
"kjv","14","20","2","Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi."
"kjv","14","20","3","And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah."
"kjv","14","20","4","And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD."
"kjv","14","20","5","And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,"
"kjv","14","20","6","And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?"
"kjv","14","20","7","Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?"
"kjv","14","20","8","And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,"
"kjv","14","20","9","If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help."
"kjv","14","20","10","And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;"
"kjv","14","20","11","Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit."
"kjv","14","20","12","O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee."
"kjv","14","20","13","And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children."
"kjv","14","20","14","Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;"
"kjv","14","20","15","And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's."
"kjv","14","20","16","To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel."
"kjv","14","20","17","Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you."
"kjv","14","20","18","And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD."
"kjv","14","20","19","And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high."
"kjv","14","20","20","And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper."
"kjv","14","20","21","And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever."
"kjv","14","20","22","And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten."
"kjv","14","20","23","For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another."
"kjv","14","20","24","And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped."
"kjv","14","20","25","And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much."
"kjv","14","20","26","And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day."
"kjv","14","20","27","Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies."
"kjv","14","20","28","And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","20","29","And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel."
"kjv","14","20","30","So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about."
"kjv","14","20","31","And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
"kjv","14","20","32","And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD."
"kjv","14","20","33","Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","20","34","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","14","20","35","And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:"
"kjv","14","20","36","And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber."
"kjv","14","20","37","Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish."
"kjv","14","21","1","Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","21","2","And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel."
"kjv","14","21","3","And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn."
"kjv","14","21","4","Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel."
"kjv","14","21","5","Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","21","6","And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD."
"kjv","14","21","7","Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever."
"kjv","14","21","8","In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king."
"kjv","14","21","9","Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots."
"kjv","14","21","10","So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers."
"kjv","14","21","11","Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto."
"kjv","14","21","12","And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,"
"kjv","14","21","13","But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:"
"kjv","14","21","14","Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:"
"kjv","14","21","15","And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day."
"kjv","14","21","16","Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:"
"kjv","14","21","17","And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons."
"kjv","14","21","18","And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease."
"kjv","14","21","19","And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers."
"kjv","14","21","20","Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings."
"kjv","14","22","1","And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned."
"kjv","14","22","2","Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri."
"kjv","14","22","3","He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly."
"kjv","14","22","4","Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction."
"kjv","14","22","5","He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram."
"kjv","14","22","6","And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick."
"kjv","14","22","7","And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab."
"kjv","14","22","8","And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them."
"kjv","14","22","9","And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom."
"kjv","14","22","10","But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah."
"kjv","14","22","11","But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not."
"kjv","14","22","12","And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land."
"kjv","14","23","1","And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him."
"kjv","14","23","2","And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","23","3","And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David."
"kjv","14","23","4","This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;"
"kjv","14","23","5","And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","23","6","But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD."
"kjv","14","23","7","And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out."
"kjv","14","23","8","So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses."
"kjv","14","23","9","Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God."
"kjv","14","23","10","And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about."
"kjv","14","23","11","Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king."
"kjv","14","23","12","Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:"
"kjv","14","23","13","And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason."
"kjv","14","23","14","Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","23","15","So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there."
"kjv","14","23","16","And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S people."
"kjv","14","23","17","Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars."
"kjv","14","23","18","Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David."
"kjv","14","23","19","And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in."
"kjv","14","23","20","And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom."
"kjv","14","23","21","And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword."
"kjv","14","24","1","Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba."
"kjv","14","24","2","And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest."
"kjv","14","24","3","And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters."
"kjv","14","24","4","And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","24","5","And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not."
"kjv","14","24","6","And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"
"kjv","14","24","7","For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim."
"kjv","14","24","8","And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","24","9","And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness."
"kjv","14","24","10","And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end."
"kjv","14","24","11","Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance."
"kjv","14","24","12","And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","24","13","So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it."
"kjv","14","24","14","And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada."
"kjv","14","24","15","But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died."
"kjv","14","24","16","And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house."
"kjv","14","24","17","Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them."
"kjv","14","24","18","And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass."
"kjv","14","24","19","Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear."
"kjv","14","24","20","And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you."
"kjv","14","24","21","And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","24","22","Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it."
"kjv","14","24","23","And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus."
"kjv","14","24","24","For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash."
"kjv","14","24","25","And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings."
"kjv","14","24","26","And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess."
"kjv","14","24","27","Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","25","1","Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","25","2","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart."
"kjv","14","25","3","Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father."
"kjv","14","25","4","But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin."
"kjv","14","25","5","Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield."
"kjv","14","25","6","He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver."
"kjv","14","25","7","But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim."
"kjv","14","25","8","But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down."
"kjv","14","25","9","And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this."
"kjv","14","25","10","Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger."
"kjv","14","25","11","And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand."
"kjv","14","25","12","And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces."
"kjv","14","25","13","But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil."
"kjv","14","25","14","Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them."
"kjv","14","25","15","Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?"
"kjv","14","25","16","And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel."
"kjv","14","25","17","Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face."
"kjv","14","25","18","And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle."
"kjv","14","25","19","Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?"
"kjv","14","25","20","But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom."
"kjv","14","25","21","So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah."
"kjv","14","25","22","And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent."
"kjv","14","25","23","And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits."
"kjv","14","25","24","And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria."
"kjv","14","25","25","And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
"kjv","14","25","26","Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?"
"kjv","14","25","27","Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there."
"kjv","14","25","28","And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah."
"kjv","14","26","1","Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah."
"kjv","14","26","2","He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers."
"kjv","14","26","3","Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","26","4","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did."
"kjv","14","26","5","And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper."
"kjv","14","26","6","And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines."
"kjv","14","26","7","And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims."
"kjv","14","26","8","And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly."
"kjv","14","26","9","Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them."
"kjv","14","26","10","Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry."
"kjv","14","26","11","Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains."
"kjv","14","26","12","The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred."
"kjv","14","26","13","And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy."
"kjv","14","26","14","And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones."
"kjv","14","26","15","And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong."
"kjv","14","26","16","But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense."
"kjv","14","26","17","And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:"
"kjv","14","26","18","And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God."
"kjv","14","26","19","Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar."
"kjv","14","26","20","And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him."
"kjv","14","26","21","And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land."
"kjv","14","26","22","Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write."
"kjv","14","26","23","So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","27","1","Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok."
"kjv","14","27","2","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly."
"kjv","14","27","3","He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much."
"kjv","14","27","4","Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers."
"kjv","14","27","5","He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third."
"kjv","14","27","6","So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God."
"kjv","14","27","7","Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah."
"kjv","14","27","8","He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","27","9","And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","28","1","Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:"
"kjv","14","28","2","For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim."
"kjv","14","28","3","Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel."
"kjv","14","28","4","He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree."
"kjv","14","28","5","Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter."
"kjv","14","28","6","For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","28","7","And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king."
"kjv","14","28","8","And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria."
"kjv","14","28","9","But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven."
"kjv","14","28","10","And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?"
"kjv","14","28","11","Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you."
"kjv","14","28","12","Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,"
"kjv","14","28","13","And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."
"kjv","14","28","14","So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation."
"kjv","14","28","15","And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria."
"kjv","14","28","16","At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him."
"kjv","14","28","17","For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives."
"kjv","14","28","18","The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there."
"kjv","14","28","19","For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD."
"kjv","14","28","20","And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not."
"kjv","14","28","21","For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not."
"kjv","14","28","22","And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz."
"kjv","14","28","23","For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel."
"kjv","14","28","24","And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","28","25","And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers."
"kjv","14","28","26","Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
"kjv","14","28","27","And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","29","1","Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah."
"kjv","14","29","2","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done."
"kjv","14","29","3","He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them."
"kjv","14","29","4","And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,"
"kjv","14","29","5","And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place."
"kjv","14","29","6","For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs."
"kjv","14","29","7","Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel."
"kjv","14","29","8","Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes."
"kjv","14","29","9","For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this."
"kjv","14","29","10","Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us."
"kjv","14","29","11","My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense."
"kjv","14","29","12","Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:"
"kjv","14","29","13","And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:"
"kjv","14","29","14","And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel."
"kjv","14","29","15","And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","29","16","And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron."
"kjv","14","29","17","Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end."
"kjv","14","29","18","Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof."
"kjv","14","29","19","Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD."
"kjv","14","29","20","Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","29","21","And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD."
"kjv","14","29","22","So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar."
"kjv","14","29","23","And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:"
"kjv","14","29","24","And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel."
"kjv","14","29","25","And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets."
"kjv","14","29","26","And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets."
"kjv","14","29","27","And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel."
"kjv","14","29","28","And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished."
"kjv","14","29","29","And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped."
"kjv","14","29","30","Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped."
"kjv","14","29","31","Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings."
"kjv","14","29","32","And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD."
"kjv","14","29","33","And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep."
"kjv","14","29","34","But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests."
"kjv","14","29","35","And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order."
"kjv","14","29","36","And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly."
"kjv","14","30","1","And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","14","30","2","For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month."
"kjv","14","30","3","For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","30","4","And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation."
"kjv","14","30","5","So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written."
"kjv","14","30","6","So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria."
"kjv","14","30","7","And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see."
"kjv","14","30","8","Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you."
"kjv","14","30","9","For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him."
"kjv","14","30","10","So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them."
"kjv","14","30","11","Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","30","12","Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD."
"kjv","14","30","13","And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation."
"kjv","14","30","14","And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron."
"kjv","14","30","15","Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","30","16","And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites."
"kjv","14","30","17","For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD."
"kjv","14","30","18","For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one"
"kjv","14","30","19","That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary."
"kjv","14","30","20","And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people."
"kjv","14","30","21","And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD."
"kjv","14","30","22","And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","30","23","And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness."
"kjv","14","30","24","For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves."
"kjv","14","30","25","And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced."
"kjv","14","30","26","So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","30","27","Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven."
"kjv","14","31","1","Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities."
"kjv","14","31","2","And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD."
"kjv","14","31","3","He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD."
"kjv","14","31","4","Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD."
"kjv","14","31","5","And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly."
"kjv","14","31","6","And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps."
"kjv","14","31","7","In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month."
"kjv","14","31","8","And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel."
"kjv","14","31","9","Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps."
"kjv","14","31","10","And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store."
"kjv","14","31","11","Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,"
"kjv","14","31","12","And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next."
"kjv","14","31","13","And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God."
"kjv","14","31","14","And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things."
"kjv","14","31","15","And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:"
"kjv","14","31","16","Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;"
"kjv","14","31","17","Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;"
"kjv","14","31","18","And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:"
"kjv","14","31","19","Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites."
"kjv","14","31","20","And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God."
"kjv","14","31","21","And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered."
"kjv","14","32","1","After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself."
"kjv","14","32","2","And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,"
"kjv","14","32","3","He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him."
"kjv","14","32","4","So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?"
"kjv","14","32","5","Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance."
"kjv","14","32","6","And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,"
"kjv","14","32","7","Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:"
"kjv","14","32","8","With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah."
"kjv","14","32","9","After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,"
"kjv","14","32","10","Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?"
"kjv","14","32","11","Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?"
"kjv","14","32","12","Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?"
"kjv","14","32","13","Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?"
"kjv","14","32","14","Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?"
"kjv","14","32","15","Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?"
"kjv","14","32","16","And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah."
"kjv","14","32","17","He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand."
"kjv","14","32","18","Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city."
"kjv","14","32","19","And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man."
"kjv","14","32","20","And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven."
"kjv","14","32","21","And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword."
"kjv","14","32","22","Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side."
"kjv","14","32","23","And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth."
"kjv","14","32","24","In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign."
"kjv","14","32","25","But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","32","26","Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah."
"kjv","14","32","27","And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;"
"kjv","14","32","28","Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks."
"kjv","14","32","29","Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much."
"kjv","14","32","30","This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works."
"kjv","14","32","31","Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart."
"kjv","14","32","32","Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
"kjv","14","32","33","And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","33","1","Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:"
"kjv","14","33","2","But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel."
"kjv","14","33","3","For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them."
"kjv","14","33","4","Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever."
"kjv","14","33","5","And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","33","6","And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."
"kjv","14","33","7","And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:"
"kjv","14","33","8","Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","14","33","9","So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel."
"kjv","14","33","10","And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken."
"kjv","14","33","11","Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon."
"kjv","14","33","12","And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,"
"kjv","14","33","13","And prayed unto him: and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God."
"kjv","14","33","14","Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah."
"kjv","14","33","15","And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city."
"kjv","14","33","16","And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","14","33","17","Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only."
"kjv","14","33","18","Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel."
"kjv","14","33","19","His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers."
"kjv","14","33","20","So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","33","21","Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","33","22","But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;"
"kjv","14","33","23","And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more."
"kjv","14","33","24","And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house."
"kjv","14","33","25","But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead."
"kjv","14","34","1","Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years."
"kjv","14","34","2","And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left."
"kjv","14","34","3","For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images."
"kjv","14","34","4","And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them."
"kjv","14","34","5","And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","34","6","And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about."
"kjv","14","34","7","And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","34","8","Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God."
"kjv","14","34","9","And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","34","10","And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and amend the house:"
"kjv","14","34","11","Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed."
"kjv","14","34","12","And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of music."
"kjv","14","34","13","Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters."
"kjv","14","34","14","And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses."
"kjv","14","34","15","And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan."
"kjv","14","34","16","And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it."
"kjv","14","34","17","And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen."
"kjv","14","34","18","Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king."
"kjv","14","34","19","And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes."
"kjv","14","34","20","And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,"
"kjv","14","34","21","Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book."
"kjv","14","34","22","And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect."
"kjv","14","34","23","And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,"
"kjv","14","34","24","Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:"
"kjv","14","34","25","Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched."
"kjv","14","34","26","And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;"
"kjv","14","34","27","Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD."
"kjv","14","34","28","Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again."
"kjv","14","34","29","Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","34","30","And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","14","34","31","And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book."
"kjv","14","34","32","And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","34","33","And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers."
"kjv","14","35","1","Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month."
"kjv","14","35","2","And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,"
"kjv","14","35","3","And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,"
"kjv","14","35","4","And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son."
"kjv","14","35","5","And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites."
"kjv","14","35","6","So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses."
"kjv","14","35","7","And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance."
"kjv","14","35","8","And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen."
"kjv","14","35","9","Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen."
"kjv","14","35","10","So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment."
"kjv","14","35","11","And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them."
"kjv","14","35","12","And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen."
"kjv","14","35","13","And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people."
"kjv","14","35","14","And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron."
"kjv","14","35","15","And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them."
"kjv","14","35","16","So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah."
"kjv","14","35","17","And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days."
"kjv","14","35","18","And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","35","19","In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept."
"kjv","14","35","20","After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him."
"kjv","14","35","21","But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not."
"kjv","14","35","22","Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo."
"kjv","14","35","23","And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded."
"kjv","14","35","24","His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah."
"kjv","14","35","25","And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations."
"kjv","14","35","26","Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,"
"kjv","14","35","27","And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah."
"kjv","14","36","1","Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","36","2","Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","36","3","And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold."
"kjv","14","36","4","And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt."
"kjv","14","36","5","Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God."
"kjv","14","36","6","Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon."
"kjv","14","36","7","Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon."
"kjv","14","36","8","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","14","36","9","Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD."
"kjv","14","36","10","And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","36","11","Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","36","12","And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD."
"kjv","14","36","13","And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","14","36","14","Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem."
"kjv","14","36","15","And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:"
"kjv","14","36","16","But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy."
"kjv","14","36","17","Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand."
"kjv","14","36","18","And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon."
"kjv","14","36","19","And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof."
"kjv","14","36","20","And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:"
"kjv","14","36","21","To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years."
"kjv","14","36","22","Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,"
"kjv","14","36","23","Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up."
"kjv","15","1","1","Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,"
"kjv","15","1","2","Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
"kjv","15","1","3","Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","1","4","And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","1","5","Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","1","6","And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered."
"kjv","15","1","7","Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;"
"kjv","15","1","8","Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah."
"kjv","15","1","9","And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,"
"kjv","15","1","10","Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand."
"kjv","15","1","11","All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","2","1","Now these are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;"
"kjv","15","2","2","Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:"

"kjv","15","2","58","All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two."
"kjv","15","2","59","And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:"
"kjv","15","2","60","The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two."
"kjv","15","2","61","And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:"
"kjv","15","2","62","These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood."
"kjv","15","2","63","And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim."
"kjv","15","2","64","The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,"
"kjv","15","2","65","Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women."
"kjv","15","2","66","Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five;"
"kjv","15","2","67","Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty."
"kjv","15","2","68","And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place:"
"kjv","15","2","69","They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work threescore and one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pound of silver, and one hundred priests' garments."
"kjv","15","2","70","So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities."
"kjv","15","3","1","And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","3","2","Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God."
"kjv","15","3","3","And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening."
"kjv","15","3","4","They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;"
"kjv","15","3","5","And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","15","3","6","From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid."
"kjv","15","3","7","They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia."
"kjv","15","3","8","Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","15","3","9","Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites."
"kjv","15","3","10","And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel."
"kjv","15","3","11","And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid."
"kjv","15","3","12","But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:"
"kjv","15","3","13","So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off."
"kjv","15","4","1","Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;"
"kjv","15","4","2","Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither."
"kjv","15","4","3","But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us."
"kjv","15","4","4","Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,"
"kjv","15","4","5","And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia."
"kjv","15","4","6","And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","4","7","And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue."
"kjv","15","4","8","Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:"
"kjv","15","4","9","Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,"
"kjv","15","4","10","And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time."
"kjv","15","4","11","This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time."
"kjv","15","4","12","Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations."
"kjv","15","4","13","Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings."
"kjv","15","4","14","Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;"
"kjv","15","4","15","That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed."
"kjv","15","4","16","We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river."
"kjv","15","4","17","Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time."
"kjv","15","4","18","The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me."
"kjv","15","4","19","And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein."
"kjv","15","4","20","There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them."
"kjv","15","4","21","Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me."
"kjv","15","4","22","Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?"
"kjv","15","4","23","Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power."
"kjv","15","4","24","Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
"kjv","15","5","1","Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them."
"kjv","15","5","2","Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them."
"kjv","15","5","3","At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?"
"kjv","15","5","4","Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?"
"kjv","15","5","5","But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter."
"kjv","15","5","6","The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:"
"kjv","15","5","7","They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace."
"kjv","15","5","8","Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands."
"kjv","15","5","9","Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?"
"kjv","15","5","10","We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them."
"kjv","15","5","11","And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up."
"kjv","15","5","12","But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon."
"kjv","15","5","13","But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God."
"kjv","15","5","14","And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;"
"kjv","15","5","15","And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place."
"kjv","15","5","16","Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished."
"kjv","15","5","17","Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter."
"kjv","15","6","1","Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon."
"kjv","15","6","2","And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:"
"kjv","15","6","3","In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;"
"kjv","15","6","4","With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:"
"kjv","15","6","5","And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God."
"kjv","15","6","6","Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:"
"kjv","15","6","7","Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place."
"kjv","15","6","8","Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered."
"kjv","15","6","9","And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:"
"kjv","15","6","10","That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons."
"kjv","15","6","11","Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this."
"kjv","15","6","12","And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed."
"kjv","15","6","13","Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily."
"kjv","15","6","14","And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia."
"kjv","15","6","15","And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
"kjv","15","6","16","And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,"
"kjv","15","6","17","And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","15","6","18","And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses."
"kjv","15","6","19","And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month."
"kjv","15","6","20","For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves."
"kjv","15","6","21","And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,"
"kjv","15","6","22","And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel."
"kjv","15","7","1","Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,"
"kjv","15","7","2","The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,"
"kjv","15","7","3","The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,"
"kjv","15","7","4","The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,"
"kjv","15","7","5","The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:"
"kjv","15","7","6","This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him."
"kjv","15","7","7","And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king."
"kjv","15","7","8","And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king."
"kjv","15","7","9","For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him."
"kjv","15","7","10","For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments."
"kjv","15","7","11","Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel."
"kjv","15","7","12","Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time."
"kjv","15","7","13","I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee."
"kjv","15","7","14","Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;"
"kjv","15","7","15","And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,"
"kjv","15","7","16","And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem:"
"kjv","15","7","17","That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","7","18","And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God."
"kjv","15","7","19","The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","7","20","And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house."
"kjv","15","7","21","And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,"
"kjv","15","7","22","Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much."
"kjv","15","7","23","Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?"
"kjv","15","7","24","Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them."
"kjv","15","7","25","And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not."
"kjv","15","7","26","And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment."
"kjv","15","7","27","Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:"
"kjv","15","7","28","And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me."
"kjv","15","8","1","These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king."
"kjv","15","8","2","Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush."
"kjv","15","8","3","Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty."
"kjv","15","8","4","Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males."
"kjv","15","8","5","Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males."
"kjv","15","8","6","Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males."
"kjv","15","8","7","And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males."
"kjv","15","8","8","And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and with him fourscore males."
"kjv","15","8","9","Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males."
"kjv","15","8","10","And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with him an hundred and threescore males."
"kjv","15","8","11","And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males."
"kjv","15","8","12","And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males."
"kjv","15","8","13","And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males."
"kjv","15","8","14","Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males."
"kjv","15","8","15","And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi."
"kjv","15","8","16","Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding."
"kjv","15","8","17","And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God."
"kjv","15","8","18","And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;"
"kjv","15","8","19","And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;"
"kjv","15","8","20","Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name."
"kjv","15","8","21","Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance."
"kjv","15","8","22","For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him."
"kjv","15","8","23","So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us."
"kjv","15","8","24","Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,"
"kjv","15","8","25","And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:"
"kjv","15","8","26","I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;"
"kjv","15","8","27","Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold."
"kjv","15","8","28","And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers."
"kjv","15","8","29","Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD."
"kjv","15","8","30","So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God."
"kjv","15","8","31","Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way."
"kjv","15","8","32","And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days."
"kjv","15","8","33","Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;"
"kjv","15","8","34","By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time."
"kjv","15","8","35","Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","15","8","36","And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God."
"kjv","15","9","1","Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites."
"kjv","15","9","2","For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass."
"kjv","15","9","3","And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied."
"kjv","15","9","4","Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice."
"kjv","15","9","5","And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,"
"kjv","15","9","6","And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens."
"kjv","15","9","7","Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day."
"kjv","15","9","8","And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage."
"kjv","15","9","9","For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem."
"kjv","15","9","10","And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,"
"kjv","15","9","11","Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness."
"kjv","15","9","12","Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever."
"kjv","15","9","13","And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;"
"kjv","15","9","14","Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?"
"kjv","15","9","15","O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this."
"kjv","15","10","1","Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore."
"kjv","15","10","2","And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing."
"kjv","15","10","3","Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law."
"kjv","15","10","4","Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it."
"kjv","15","10","5","Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware."
"kjv","15","10","6","Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away."
"kjv","15","10","7","And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;"
"kjv","15","10","8","And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away."
"kjv","15","10","9","Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain."
"kjv","15","10","10","And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel."
"kjv","15","10","11","Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives."
"kjv","15","10","12","Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do."
"kjv","15","10","13","But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing."
"kjv","15","10","14","Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us."
"kjv","15","10","15","Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them."
"kjv","15","10","16","And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter."
"kjv","15","10","17","And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month."
"kjv","15","10","18","And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah."
"kjv","15","10","19","And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass."
"kjv","15","10","20","And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah."
"kjv","15","10","21","And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah."
"kjv","15","10","22","And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah."
"kjv","15","10","23","Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer."
"kjv","15","10","24","Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri."
"kjv","15","10","25","Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah."
"kjv","15","10","26","And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah."
"kjv","15","10","27","And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza."
"kjv","15","10","28","Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai."
"kjv","15","10","29","And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth."
"kjv","15","10","30","And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh."
"kjv","15","10","31","And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,"
"kjv","15","10","32","Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah."
"kjv","15","10","33","Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei."
"kjv","15","10","34","Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel,"
"kjv","15","10","35","Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh,"
"kjv","15","10","36","Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,"
"kjv","15","10","37","Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau,"
"kjv","15","10","38","And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,"
"kjv","15","10","39","And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,"
"kjv","15","10","40","Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,"
"kjv","15","10","41","Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,"
"kjv","15","10","42","Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph."
"kjv","15","10","43","Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah."
"kjv","15","10","44","All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children."
"kjv","16","1","1","The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,"
"kjv","16","1","2","That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem."
"kjv","16","1","3","And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire."
"kjv","16","1","4","And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,"
"kjv","16","1","5","And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:"
"kjv","16","1","6","Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned."
"kjv","16","1","7","We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses."
"kjv","16","1","8","Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:"
"kjv","16","1","9","But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there."
"kjv","16","1","10","Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand."
"kjv","16","1","11","O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer."
"kjv","16","2","1","And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence."
"kjv","16","2","2","Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,"
"kjv","16","2","3","And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?"
"kjv","16","2","4","Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven."
"kjv","16","2","5","And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it."
"kjv","16","2","6","And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time."
"kjv","16","2","7","Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;"
"kjv","16","2","8","And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me."
"kjv","16","2","9","Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me."
"kjv","16","2","10","When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel."
"kjv","16","2","11","So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days."
"kjv","16","2","12","And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon."
"kjv","16","2","13","And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire."
"kjv","16","2","14","Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass."
"kjv","16","2","15","Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned."
"kjv","16","2","16","And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work."
"kjv","16","2","17","Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach."
"kjv","16","2","18","Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work."
"kjv","16","2","19","But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?"
"kjv","16","2","20","Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem."
"kjv","16","3","1","Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel."
"kjv","16","3","2","And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri."
"kjv","16","3","3","But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof."
"kjv","16","3","4","And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana."
"kjv","16","3","5","And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord."
"kjv","16","3","6","Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof."
"kjv","16","3","7","And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river."
"kjv","16","3","8","Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall."
"kjv","16","3","9","And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem."
"kjv","16","3","10","And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah."
"kjv","16","3","11","Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces."
"kjv","16","3","12","And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters."
"kjv","16","3","13","The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate."
"kjv","16","3","14","But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof."
"kjv","16","3","15","But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David."
"kjv","16","3","16","After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty."
"kjv","16","3","17","After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part."
"kjv","16","3","18","After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah."
"kjv","16","3","19","And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning of the wall."
"kjv","16","3","20","After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest."
"kjv","16","3","21","After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib."
"kjv","16","3","22","And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain."
"kjv","16","3","23","After him repaired Benjamin and Hashub over against their house. After him repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by his house."
"kjv","16","3","24","After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another piece, from the house of Azariah unto the turning of the wall, even unto the corner."
"kjv","16","3","25","Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall, and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house, that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh."
"kjv","16","3","26","Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out."
"kjv","16","3","27","After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel."
"kjv","16","3","28","From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house."
"kjv","16","3","29","After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate."
"kjv","16","3","30","After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber."
"kjv","16","3","31","After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith's son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner."
"kjv","16","3","32","And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants."
"kjv","16","4","1","But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews."
"kjv","16","4","2","And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?"
"kjv","16","4","3","Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall."
"kjv","16","4","4","Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:"
"kjv","16","4","5","And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders."
"kjv","16","4","6","So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work."
"kjv","16","4","7","But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,"
"kjv","16","4","8","And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it."
"kjv","16","4","9","Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them."
"kjv","16","4","10","And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall."
"kjv","16","4","11","And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease."
"kjv","16","4","12","And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you."
"kjv","16","4","13","Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows."
"kjv","16","4","14","And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses."
"kjv","16","4","15","And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work."
"kjv","16","4","16","And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah."
"kjv","16","4","17","They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon."
"kjv","16","4","18","For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me."
"kjv","16","4","19","And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another."
"kjv","16","4","20","In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us."
"kjv","16","4","21","So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared."
"kjv","16","4","22","Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day."
"kjv","16","4","23","So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing."
"kjv","16","5","1","And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews."
"kjv","16","5","2","For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live."
"kjv","16","5","3","Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth."
"kjv","16","5","4","There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards."
"kjv","16","5","5","Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards."
"kjv","16","5","6","And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words."
"kjv","16","5","7","Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them."
"kjv","16","5","8","And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer."
"kjv","16","5","9","Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?"
"kjv","16","5","10","I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury."
"kjv","16","5","11","Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them."
"kjv","16","5","12","Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise."
"kjv","16","5","13","Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise."
"kjv","16","5","14","Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor."
"kjv","16","5","15","But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God."
"kjv","16","5","16","Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work."
"kjv","16","5","17","Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us."
"kjv","16","5","18","Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people."
"kjv","16","5","19","Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people."
"kjv","16","6","1","Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)"
"kjv","16","6","2","That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief."
"kjv","16","6","3","And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?"
"kjv","16","6","4","Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner."
"kjv","16","6","5","Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;"
"kjv","16","6","6","Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words."
"kjv","16","6","7","And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together."
"kjv","16","6","8","Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart."
"kjv","16","6","9","For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands."
"kjv","16","6","10","Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee."
"kjv","16","6","11","And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."
"kjv","16","6","12","And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him."
"kjv","16","6","13","Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me."
"kjv","16","6","14","My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear."
"kjv","16","6","15","So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."
"kjv","16","6","16","And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God."
"kjv","16","6","17","Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them."
"kjv","16","6","18","For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah."
"kjv","16","6","19","Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear."
"kjv","16","7","1","Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,"
"kjv","16","7","2","That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many."
"kjv","16","7","3","And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house."
"kjv","16","7","4","Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded."
"kjv","16","7","5","And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,"
"kjv","16","7","6","These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;"
"kjv","16","7","7","Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;"

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

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

"kjv","19","9","3","When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence."

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

"kjv","19","37","33","The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged."
"kjv","19","37","34","Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it."
"kjv","19","37","35","I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree."
"kjv","19","37","36","Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found."
"kjv","19","37","37","Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace."
"kjv","19","37","38","But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off."

"kjv","19","38","1","A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure."

"kjv","19","38","11","My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off."
"kjv","19","38","12","They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long."
"kjv","19","38","13","But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth."
"kjv","19","38","14","Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs."
"kjv","19","38","15","For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God."
"kjv","19","38","16","For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me."
"kjv","19","38","17","For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me."
"kjv","19","38","18","For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin."
"kjv","19","38","19","But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied."

"kjv","19","39","5","Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah."

"kjv","19","39","8","Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish."
"kjv","19","39","9","I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it."

"kjv","19","39","11","When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah."
"kjv","19","39","12","Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were."
"kjv","19","39","13","O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more."
"kjv","19","40","1","To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry."
"kjv","19","40","2","He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
"kjv","19","40","3","And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD."
"kjv","19","40","4","Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies."
"kjv","19","40","5","Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."
"kjv","19","40","6","Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required."
"kjv","19","40","7","Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,"
"kjv","19","40","8","I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."
"kjv","19","40","9","I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest."

"kjv","19","40","11","Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me."
"kjv","19","40","12","For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me."
"kjv","19","40","13","Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me."
"kjv","19","40","14","Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil."
"kjv","19","40","15","Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha."
"kjv","19","40","16","Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified."

"kjv","19","42","3","My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?"
"kjv","19","42","4","When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday."
"kjv","19","42","5","Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance."
"kjv","19","42","6","O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar."
"kjv","19","42","7","Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me."

"kjv","19","42","11","Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."
"kjv","19","43","1","Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man."
"kjv","19","43","2","For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
"kjv","19","43","3","O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles."
"kjv","19","43","4","Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God."

"kjv","19","44","2","How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out."
"kjv","19","44","3","For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them."
"kjv","19","44","4","Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob."
"kjv","19","44","5","Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us."

"kjv","19","44","11","Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen."
"kjv","19","44","12","Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price."
"kjv","19","44","13","Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us."
"kjv","19","44","14","Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people."
"kjv","19","44","15","My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,"
"kjv","19","44","16","For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger."

"kjv","19","50","19","Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit."
"kjv","19","50","20","Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son."
"kjv","19","50","21","These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes."

"kjv","19","77","19","Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known."
"kjv","19","77","20","Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron."
"kjv","19","78","1","Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth."
"kjv","19","78","2","I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:"
"kjv","19","78","3","Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us."
"kjv","19","78","4","We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done."
"kjv","19","78","5","For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:"
"kjv","19","78","6","That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:"
"kjv","19","78","7","That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:"
"kjv","19","78","8","And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God."
"kjv","19","78","9","The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle."
"kjv","19","78","10","They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;"
"kjv","19","78","11","And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them."
"kjv","19","78","12","Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan."
"kjv","19","78","13","He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap."
"kjv","19","78","14","In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire."
"kjv","19","78","15","He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths."
"kjv","19","78","16","He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers."
"kjv","19","78","17","And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness."
"kjv","19","78","18","And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust."
"kjv","19","78","19","Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?"
"kjv","19","78","20","Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?"
"kjv","19","78","21","Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;"
"kjv","19","78","22","Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:"
"kjv","19","78","23","Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,"
"kjv","19","78","24","And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven."
"kjv","19","78","25","Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full."
"kjv","19","78","26","He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind."
"kjv","19","78","27","He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:"
"kjv","19","78","28","And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations."
"kjv","19","78","29","So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;"
"kjv","19","78","30","They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,"
"kjv","19","78","31","The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel."
"kjv","19","78","32","For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works."
"kjv","19","78","33","Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble."
"kjv","19","78","34","When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God."
"kjv","19","78","35","And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer."
"kjv","19","78","36","Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues."
"kjv","19","78","37","For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant."
"kjv","19","78","38","But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath."
"kjv","19","78","39","For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again."
"kjv","19","78","40","How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!"
"kjv","19","78","41","Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","19","78","42","They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy."
"kjv","19","78","43","How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:"
"kjv","19","78","44","And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink."
"kjv","19","78","45","He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them."
"kjv","19","78","46","He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust."
"kjv","19","78","47","He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with frost."
"kjv","19","78","48","He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts."
"kjv","19","78","49","He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them."
"kjv","19","78","50","He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;"
"kjv","19","78","51","And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:"
"kjv","19","78","52","But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock."
"kjv","19","78","53","And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies."
"kjv","19","78","54","And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased."
"kjv","19","78","55","He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents."
"kjv","19","78","56","Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:"
"kjv","19","78","57","But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow."
"kjv","19","78","58","For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images."
"kjv","19","78","59","When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:"
"kjv","19","78","60","So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;"
"kjv","19","78","61","And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand."
"kjv","19","78","62","He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance."
"kjv","19","78","63","The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage."
"kjv","19","78","64","Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation."
"kjv","19","78","65","Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine."
"kjv","19","78","66","And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach."
"kjv","19","78","67","Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:"
"kjv","19","78","68","But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved."
"kjv","19","78","69","And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever."
"kjv","19","78","70","He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:"
"kjv","19","78","71","From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance."
"kjv","19","78","72","So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands."
"kjv","19","79","1","A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps."
"kjv","19","79","2","The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth."
"kjv","19","79","3","Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them."
"kjv","19","79","4","We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us."
"kjv","19","79","5","How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?"
"kjv","19","79","6","Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name."
"kjv","19","79","7","For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place."
"kjv","19","79","8","O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low."
"kjv","19","79","9","Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake."
"kjv","19","79","10","Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed."
"kjv","19","79","11","Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;"
"kjv","19","79","12","And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord."
"kjv","19","79","13","So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations."
"kjv","19","80","1","To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth."
"kjv","19","80","2","Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us."
"kjv","19","80","3","Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved."
"kjv","19","80","4","O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?"
"kjv","19","80","5","Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure."
"kjv","19","80","6","Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves."
"kjv","19","80","7","Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved."
"kjv","19","80","8","Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it."
"kjv","19","80","9","Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land."
"kjv","19","80","10","The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars."
"kjv","19","80","11","She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river."
"kjv","19","80","12","Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?"
"kjv","19","80","13","The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it."
"kjv","19","80","14","Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;"
"kjv","19","80","15","And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself."
"kjv","19","80","16","It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance."
"kjv","19","80","17","Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself."
"kjv","19","80","18","So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name."
"kjv","19","80","19","Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved."

"kjv","19","81","3","Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day."
"kjv","19","81","4","For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob."
"kjv","19","81","5","This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not."
"kjv","19","81","6","I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots."
"kjv","19","81","7","Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah."
"kjv","19","81","8","Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;"
"kjv","19","81","9","There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god."
"kjv","19","81","10","I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it."
"kjv","19","81","11","But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me."
"kjv","19","81","12","So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels."
"kjv","19","81","13","Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!"
"kjv","19","81","14","I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries."
"kjv","19","81","15","The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever."

"kjv","19","83","4","They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."

"kjv","19","103","13","Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him."
"kjv","19","103","14","For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust."
"kjv","19","103","15","As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth."
"kjv","19","103","16","For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more."
"kjv","19","103","17","But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;"
"kjv","19","103","18","To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them."
"kjv","19","103","19","The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all."
"kjv","19","103","20","Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word."
"kjv","19","103","21","Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure."
"kjv","19","103","22","Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul."
"kjv","19","104","1","Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty."
"kjv","19","104","2","Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:"
"kjv","19","104","3","Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:"
"kjv","19","104","4","Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:"
"kjv","19","104","5","Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever."
"kjv","19","104","6","Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains."
"kjv","19","104","7","At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away."
"kjv","19","104","8","They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them."
"kjv","19","104","9","Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth."
"kjv","19","104","10","He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills."
"kjv","19","104","11","They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst."
"kjv","19","104","12","By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches."
"kjv","19","104","13","He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works."
"kjv","19","104","14","He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;"
"kjv","19","104","15","And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart."
"kjv","19","104","16","The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;"
"kjv","19","104","17","Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house."
"kjv","19","104","18","The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies."
"kjv","19","104","19","He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down."
"kjv","19","104","20","Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth."
"kjv","19","104","21","The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God."
"kjv","19","104","22","The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens."
"kjv","19","104","23","Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening."
"kjv","19","104","24","O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches."
"kjv","19","104","25","So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts."
"kjv","19","104","26","There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein."
"kjv","19","104","27","These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season."
"kjv","19","104","28","That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good."
"kjv","19","104","29","Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust."
"kjv","19","104","30","Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth."
"kjv","19","104","31","The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works."
"kjv","19","104","32","He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke."
"kjv","19","104","33","I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being."
"kjv","19","104","34","My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD."
"kjv","19","104","35","Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD."
"kjv","19","105","1","O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people."
"kjv","19","105","2","Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works."
"kjv","19","105","3","Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD."
"kjv","19","105","4","Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore."
"kjv","19","105","5","Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;"
"kjv","19","105","6","O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen."
"kjv","19","105","7","He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth."
"kjv","19","105","8","He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations."
"kjv","19","105","9","Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;"
"kjv","19","105","10","And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:"
"kjv","19","105","11","Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:"
"kjv","19","105","12","When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it."
"kjv","19","105","13","When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;"
"kjv","19","105","14","He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;"
"kjv","19","105","15","Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm."
"kjv","19","105","16","Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread."
"kjv","19","105","17","He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:"
"kjv","19","105","18","Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:"
"kjv","19","105","19","Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him."
"kjv","19","105","20","The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free."
"kjv","19","105","21","He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:"
"kjv","19","105","22","To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom."
"kjv","19","105","23","Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham."
"kjv","19","105","24","And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies."
"kjv","19","105","25","He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtly with his servants."
"kjv","19","105","26","He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen."
"kjv","19","105","27","They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham."
"kjv","19","105","28","He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word."
"kjv","19","105","29","He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish."
"kjv","19","105","30","Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings."
"kjv","19","105","31","He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts."
"kjv","19","105","32","He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land."
"kjv","19","105","33","He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts."
"kjv","19","105","34","He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,"
"kjv","19","105","35","And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground."
"kjv","19","105","36","He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength."
"kjv","19","105","37","He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes."
"kjv","19","105","38","Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them."
"kjv","19","105","39","He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night."
"kjv","19","105","40","The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven."
"kjv","19","105","41","He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river."
"kjv","19","105","42","For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant."
"kjv","19","105","43","And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:"
"kjv","19","105","44","And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;"
"kjv","19","105","45","That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD."
"kjv","19","106","1","Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."
"kjv","19","106","2","Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?"
"kjv","19","106","3","Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times."
"kjv","19","106","4","Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;"
"kjv","19","106","5","That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance."
"kjv","19","106","6","We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly."
"kjv","19","106","7","Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea."
"kjv","19","106","8","Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known."
"kjv","19","106","9","He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness."
"kjv","19","106","10","And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy."
"kjv","19","106","11","And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left."
"kjv","19","106","12","Then believed they his words; they sang his praise."
"kjv","19","106","13","They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:"
"kjv","19","106","14","But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert."
"kjv","19","106","15","And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul."
"kjv","19","106","16","They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD."
"kjv","19","106","17","The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram."
"kjv","19","106","18","And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked."
"kjv","19","106","19","They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image."
"kjv","19","106","20","Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass."
"kjv","19","106","21","They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;"
"kjv","19","106","22","Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea."
"kjv","19","106","23","Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them."
"kjv","19","106","24","Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:"
"kjv","19","106","25","But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD."
"kjv","19","106","26","Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:"
"kjv","19","106","27","To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands."
"kjv","19","106","28","They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead."
"kjv","19","106","29","Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them."
"kjv","19","106","30","Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed."
"kjv","19","106","31","And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore."
"kjv","19","106","32","They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:"
"kjv","19","106","33","Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips."
"kjv","19","106","34","They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:"
"kjv","19","106","35","But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works."
"kjv","19","106","36","And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them."
"kjv","19","106","37","Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,"
"kjv","19","106","38","And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood."
"kjv","19","106","39","Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions."
"kjv","19","106","40","Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance."
"kjv","19","106","41","And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them."
"kjv","19","106","42","Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand."
"kjv","19","106","43","Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity."
"kjv","19","106","44","Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:"
"kjv","19","106","45","And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies."
"kjv","19","106","46","He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives."
"kjv","19","106","47","Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise."
"kjv","19","106","48","Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD."
"kjv","19","107","1","O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."
"kjv","19","107","2","Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;"
"kjv","19","107","3","And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south."
"kjv","19","107","4","They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in."
"kjv","19","107","5","Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them."
"kjv","19","107","6","Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses."
"kjv","19","107","7","And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation."
"kjv","19","107","8","Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
"kjv","19","107","9","For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness."
"kjv","19","107","10","Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;"
"kjv","19","107","11","Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:"
"kjv","19","107","12","Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help."
"kjv","19","107","13","Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses."
"kjv","19","107","14","He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder."
"kjv","19","107","15","Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
"kjv","19","107","16","For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder."
"kjv","19","107","17","Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted."
"kjv","19","107","18","Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death."
"kjv","19","107","19","Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses."
"kjv","19","107","20","He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
"kjv","19","107","21","Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
"kjv","19","107","22","And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing."
"kjv","19","107","23","They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;"
"kjv","19","107","24","These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep."
"kjv","19","107","25","For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof."
"kjv","19","107","26","They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble."
"kjv","19","107","27","They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end."
"kjv","19","107","28","Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses."
"kjv","19","107","29","He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still."
"kjv","19","107","30","Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven."
"kjv","19","107","31","Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!"
"kjv","19","107","32","Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders."
"kjv","19","107","33","He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;"
"kjv","19","107","34","A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein."
"kjv","19","107","35","He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings."
"kjv","19","107","36","And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;"
"kjv","19","107","37","And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase."
"kjv","19","107","38","He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease."
"kjv","19","107","39","Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow."
"kjv","19","107","40","He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way."
"kjv","19","107","41","Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock."
"kjv","19","107","42","The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth."
"kjv","19","107","43","Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD."
"kjv","19","108","1","A Song or Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory."
"kjv","19","108","2","Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early."
"kjv","19","108","3","I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations."
"kjv","19","108","4","For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds."
"kjv","19","108","5","Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;"
"kjv","19","108","6","That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me."
"kjv","19","108","7","God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth."
"kjv","19","108","8","Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;"
"kjv","19","108","9","Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph."
"kjv","19","108","10","Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?"
"kjv","19","108","11","Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?"
"kjv","19","108","12","Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man."
"kjv","19","108","13","Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies."
"kjv","19","109","1","To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;"
"kjv","19","109","2","For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue."
"kjv","19","109","3","They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause."
"kjv","19","109","4","For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer."
"kjv","19","109","5","And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love."
"kjv","19","109","6","Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand."
"kjv","19","109","7","When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin."
"kjv","19","109","8","Let his days be few; and let another take his office."
"kjv","19","109","9","Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow."
"kjv","19","109","10","Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places."
"kjv","19","109","11","Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour."
"kjv","19","109","12","Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children."
"kjv","19","109","13","Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out."
"kjv","19","109","14","Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out."
"kjv","19","109","15","Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth."
"kjv","19","109","16","Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart."
"kjv","19","109","17","As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him."
"kjv","19","109","18","As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones."
"kjv","19","109","19","Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually."
"kjv","19","109","20","Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul."
"kjv","19","109","21","But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me."
"kjv","19","109","22","For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me."
"kjv","19","109","23","I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust."
"kjv","19","109","24","My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness."
"kjv","19","109","25","I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads."
"kjv","19","109","26","Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:"
"kjv","19","109","27","That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it."
"kjv","19","109","28","Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice."
"kjv","19","109","29","Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle."
"kjv","19","109","30","I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude."

"kjv","20","4","9","She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee."
"kjv","20","4","10","Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many."
"kjv","20","4","11","I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths."
"kjv","20","4","12","When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble."
"kjv","20","4","13","Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life."
"kjv","20","4","14","Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men."
"kjv","20","4","15","Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away."
"kjv","20","4","16","For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall."
"kjv","20","4","17","For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence."
"kjv","20","4","18","But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."
"kjv","20","4","19","The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble."
"kjv","20","4","20","My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings."
"kjv","20","4","21","Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart."
"kjv","20","4","22","For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
"kjv","20","4","23","Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
"kjv","20","4","24","Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee."
"kjv","20","4","25","Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee."
"kjv","20","4","26","Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established."
"kjv","20","4","27","Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil."
"kjv","20","5","1","My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:"
"kjv","20","5","2","That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge."
"kjv","20","5","3","For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:"
"kjv","20","5","4","But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword."
"kjv","20","5","5","Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell."
"kjv","20","5","6","Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them."
"kjv","20","5","7","Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth."
"kjv","20","5","8","Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:"
"kjv","20","5","9","Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:"
"kjv","20","5","10","Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;"
"kjv","20","5","11","And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,"
"kjv","20","5","12","And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;"
"kjv","20","5","13","And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!"
"kjv","20","5","14","I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly."
"kjv","20","5","15","Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well."
"kjv","20","5","16","Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets."
"kjv","20","5","17","Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee."
"kjv","20","5","18","Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth."
"kjv","20","5","19","Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love."
"kjv","20","5","20","And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?"
"kjv","20","5","21","For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings."
"kjv","20","5","22","His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins."
"kjv","20","5","23","He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray."
"kjv","20","6","1","My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,"
"kjv","20","6","2","Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth."
"kjv","20","6","3","Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend."
"kjv","20","6","4","Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids."
"kjv","20","6","5","Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler."
"kjv","20","6","6","Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:"
"kjv","20","6","7","Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,"
"kjv","20","6","8","Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest."
"kjv","20","6","9","How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?"
"kjv","20","6","10","Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:"
"kjv","20","6","11","So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man."
"kjv","20","6","12","A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth."
"kjv","20","6","13","He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;"
"kjv","20","6","14","Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord."
"kjv","20","6","15","Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy."
"kjv","20","6","16","These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:"
"kjv","20","6","17","A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,"
"kjv","20","6","18","An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,"
"kjv","20","6","19","A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren."
"kjv","20","6","20","My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:"
"kjv","20","6","21","Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck."
"kjv","20","6","22","When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee."
"kjv","20","6","23","For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:"
"kjv","20","6","24","To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman."
"kjv","20","6","25","Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids."
"kjv","20","6","26","For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life."
"kjv","20","6","27","Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?"
"kjv","20","6","28","Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?"
"kjv","20","6","29","So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent."
"kjv","20","6","30","Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;"
"kjv","20","6","31","But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house."
"kjv","20","6","32","But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul."
"kjv","20","6","33","A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away."
"kjv","20","6","34","For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance."
"kjv","20","6","35","He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts."
"kjv","20","7","1","My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee."
"kjv","20","7","2","Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye."
"kjv","20","7","3","Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart."
"kjv","20","7","4","Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:"
"kjv","20","7","5","That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words."
"kjv","20","7","6","For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,"
"kjv","20","7","7","And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,"
"kjv","20","7","8","Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,"
"kjv","20","7","9","In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:"
"kjv","20","7","10","And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtle of heart."
"kjv","20","7","11","(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:"
"kjv","20","7","12","Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)"
"kjv","20","7","13","So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,"
"kjv","20","7","14","I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows."
"kjv","20","7","15","Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee."
"kjv","20","7","16","I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt."
"kjv","20","7","17","I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon."
"kjv","20","7","18","Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves."
"kjv","20","7","19","For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:"
"kjv","20","7","20","He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed."
"kjv","20","7","21","With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him."
"kjv","20","7","22","He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;"
"kjv","20","7","23","Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life."
"kjv","20","7","24","Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth."
"kjv","20","7","25","Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths."
"kjv","20","7","26","For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her."
"kjv","20","7","27","Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death."
"kjv","20","8","1","Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?"
"kjv","20","8","2","She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths."
"kjv","20","8","3","She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors."
"kjv","20","8","4","Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man."
"kjv","20","8","5","O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart."
"kjv","20","8","6","Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things."
"kjv","20","8","7","For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips."
"kjv","20","8","8","All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them."
"kjv","20","8","9","They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge."
"kjv","20","8","10","Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold."
"kjv","20","8","11","For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it."
"kjv","20","8","12","I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions."
"kjv","20","8","13","The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."
"kjv","20","8","14","Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength."
"kjv","20","8","15","By me kings reign, and princes decree justice."
"kjv","20","8","16","By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth."
"kjv","20","8","17","I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me."
"kjv","20","8","18","Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness."
"kjv","20","8","19","My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver."
"kjv","20","8","20","I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:"
"kjv","20","8","21","That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures."
"kjv","20","8","22","The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old."
"kjv","20","8","23","I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was."
"kjv","20","8","24","When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water."
"kjv","20","8","25","Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:"
"kjv","20","8","26","While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world."
"kjv","20","8","27","When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:"
"kjv","20","8","28","When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:"
"kjv","20","8","29","When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:"
"kjv","20","8","30","Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;"
"kjv","20","8","31","Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men."
"kjv","20","8","32","Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways."
"kjv","20","8","33","Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not."
"kjv","20","8","34","Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors."
"kjv","20","8","35","For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD."
"kjv","20","8","36","But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death."
"kjv","20","9","1","Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:"
"kjv","20","9","2","She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table."
"kjv","20","9","3","She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,"
"kjv","20","9","4","Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,"
"kjv","20","9","5","Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled."
"kjv","20","9","6","Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding."
"kjv","20","9","7","He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot."
"kjv","20","9","8","Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee."
"kjv","20","9","9","Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning."
"kjv","20","9","10","The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
"kjv","20","9","11","For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased."
"kjv","20","9","12","If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it."
"kjv","20","9","13","A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing."
"kjv","20","9","14","For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,"
"kjv","20","9","15","To call passengers who go right on their ways:"
"kjv","20","9","16","Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,"
"kjv","20","9","17","Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
"kjv","20","9","18","But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell."
"kjv","20","10","1","The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother."
"kjv","20","10","2","Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death."

"kjv","20","10","8","The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall."
"kjv","20","10","9","He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known."
"kjv","20","10","10","He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall."
"kjv","20","10","11","The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked."
"kjv","20","10","12","Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins."
"kjv","20","10","13","In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding."
"kjv","20","10","14","Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction."
"kjv","20","10","15","The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty."
"kjv","20","10","16","The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin."
"kjv","20","10","17","He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth."
"kjv","20","10","18","He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool."
"kjv","20","10","19","In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise."
"kjv","20","10","20","The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth."
"kjv","20","10","21","The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom."
"kjv","20","10","22","The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."
"kjv","20","10","23","It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom."
"kjv","20","10","24","The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted."
"kjv","20","10","25","As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation."
"kjv","20","10","26","As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him."

"kjv","20","11","1","A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight."
"kjv","20","11","2","When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom."
"kjv","20","11","3","The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them."
"kjv","20","11","4","Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death."
"kjv","20","11","5","The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness."
"kjv","20","11","6","The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness."
"kjv","20","11","7","When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth."
"kjv","20","11","8","The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead."
"kjv","20","11","9","An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered."
"kjv","20","11","10","When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting."

"kjv","20","28","2","For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged."
"kjv","20","28","3","A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food."

"kjv","20","28","8","He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor."
"kjv","20","28","9","He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination."
"kjv","20","28","10","Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession."
"kjv","20","28","11","The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out."
"kjv","20","28","12","When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden."
"kjv","20","28","13","He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
"kjv","20","28","14","Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief."
"kjv","20","28","15","As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people."
"kjv","20","28","16","The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days."
"kjv","20","28","17","A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him."

"kjv","20","28","19","He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough."
"kjv","20","28","20","A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent."
"kjv","20","28","21","To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress."
"kjv","20","28","22","He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him."
"kjv","20","28","23","He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue."
"kjv","20","28","24","Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer."
"kjv","20","28","25","He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat."

"kjv","20","28","28","When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase."
"kjv","20","29","1","He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."
"kjv","20","29","2","When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
"kjv","20","29","3","Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance."

"kjv","20","29","8","Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath."
"kjv","20","29","9","If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest."
"kjv","20","29","10","The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul."
"kjv","20","29","11","A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards."
"kjv","20","29","12","If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked."
"kjv","20","29","13","The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes."
"kjv","20","29","14","The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever."
"kjv","20","29","15","The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."

"kjv","20","30","7","Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:"
"kjv","20","30","8","Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:"
"kjv","20","30","9","Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."
"kjv","20","30","10","Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty."
"kjv","20","30","11","There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother."
"kjv","20","30","12","There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness."
"kjv","20","30","13","There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up."
"kjv","20","30","14","There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men."
"kjv","20","30","15","The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:"

"kjv","20","30","17","The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it."
"kjv","20","30","18","There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:"
"kjv","20","30","19","The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid."
"kjv","20","30","20","Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness."
"kjv","20","30","21","For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:"
"kjv","20","30","22","For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;"
"kjv","20","30","23","For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress."
"kjv","20","30","24","There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:"
"kjv","20","30","25","The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;"
"kjv","20","30","26","The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;"
"kjv","20","30","27","The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;"
"kjv","20","30","28","The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces."
"kjv","20","30","29","There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:"
"kjv","20","30","30","A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;"
"kjv","20","30","31","A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up."
"kjv","20","30","32","If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth."
"kjv","20","30","33","Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife."
"kjv","20","31","1","The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him."
"kjv","20","31","2","What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?"
"kjv","20","31","3","Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings."
"kjv","20","31","4","It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:"
"kjv","20","31","5","Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted."
"kjv","20","31","6","Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts."
"kjv","20","31","7","Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more."
"kjv","20","31","8","Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction."
"kjv","20","31","9","Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."
"kjv","20","31","10","Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."
"kjv","20","31","11","The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil."
"kjv","20","31","12","She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."
"kjv","20","31","13","She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands."
"kjv","20","31","14","She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar."
"kjv","20","31","15","She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens."
"kjv","20","31","16","She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard."
"kjv","20","31","17","She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms."
"kjv","20","31","18","She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night."
"kjv","20","31","19","She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff."
"kjv","20","31","20","She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy."
"kjv","20","31","21","She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet."
"kjv","20","31","22","She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple."
"kjv","20","31","23","Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land."
"kjv","20","31","24","She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant."
"kjv","20","31","25","Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come."
"kjv","20","31","26","She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness."
"kjv","20","31","27","She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness."
"kjv","20","31","28","Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her."
"kjv","20","31","29","Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all."
"kjv","20","31","30","Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised."
"kjv","20","31","31","Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."
"kjv","21","1","1","The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem."
"kjv","21","1","2","Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity."
"kjv","21","1","3","What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?"
"kjv","21","1","4","One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever."
"kjv","21","1","5","The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose."
"kjv","21","1","6","The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits."
"kjv","21","1","7","All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again."
"kjv","21","1","8","All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing."
"kjv","21","1","9","The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."
"kjv","21","1","10","Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us."
"kjv","21","1","11","There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after."
"kjv","21","1","12","I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem."
"kjv","21","1","13","And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith."
"kjv","21","1","14","I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","1","15","That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered."
"kjv","21","1","16","I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge."
"kjv","21","1","17","And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","1","18","For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
"kjv","21","2","1","I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity."
"kjv","21","2","2","I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?"
"kjv","21","2","3","I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life."
"kjv","21","2","4","I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:"
"kjv","21","2","5","I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:"
"kjv","21","2","6","I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:"
"kjv","21","2","7","I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:"
"kjv","21","2","8","I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts."
"kjv","21","2","9","So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me."
"kjv","21","2","10","And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour."
"kjv","21","2","11","Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun."
"kjv","21","2","12","And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done."
"kjv","21","2","13","Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness."
"kjv","21","2","14","The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all."
"kjv","21","2","15","Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity."
"kjv","21","2","16","For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool."
"kjv","21","2","17","Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","2","18","Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me."
"kjv","21","2","19","And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity."
"kjv","21","2","20","Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun."
"kjv","21","2","21","For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil."
"kjv","21","2","22","For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?"
"kjv","21","2","23","For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity."
"kjv","21","2","24","There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God."
"kjv","21","2","25","For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?"
"kjv","21","2","26","For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","3","1","To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
"kjv","21","3","2","A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"
"kjv","21","3","3","A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;"
"kjv","21","3","4","A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"
"kjv","21","3","5","A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;"
"kjv","21","3","6","A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;"
"kjv","21","3","7","A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;"
"kjv","21","3","8","A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."
"kjv","21","3","9","What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?"
"kjv","21","3","10","I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it."
"kjv","21","3","11","He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."
"kjv","21","3","12","I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life."
"kjv","21","3","13","And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God."
"kjv","21","3","14","I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him."
"kjv","21","3","15","That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past."
"kjv","21","3","16","And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there."
"kjv","21","3","17","I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."
"kjv","21","3","18","I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts."
"kjv","21","3","19","For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity."
"kjv","21","3","20","All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."
"kjv","21","3","21","Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"
"kjv","21","3","22","Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?"
"kjv","21","4","1","So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter."
"kjv","21","4","2","Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive."
"kjv","21","4","3","Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun."
"kjv","21","4","4","Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","4","5","The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh."
"kjv","21","4","6","Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","4","7","Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun."
"kjv","21","4","8","There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail."
"kjv","21","4","9","Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour."
"kjv","21","4","10","For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
"kjv","21","4","11","Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?"
"kjv","21","4","12","And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
"kjv","21","4","13","Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished."
"kjv","21","4","14","For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor."
"kjv","21","4","15","I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead."
"kjv","21","4","16","There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","5","1","Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil."
"kjv","21","5","2","Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few."
"kjv","21","5","3","For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words."
"kjv","21","5","4","When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed."
"kjv","21","5","5","Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay."
"kjv","21","5","6","Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?"
"kjv","21","5","7","For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God."
"kjv","21","5","8","If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they."
"kjv","21","5","9","Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field."
"kjv","21","5","10","He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
"kjv","21","5","11","When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?"
"kjv","21","5","12","The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep."
"kjv","21","5","13","There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt."
"kjv","21","5","14","But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand."
"kjv","21","5","15","As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand."
"kjv","21","5","16","And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?"
"kjv","21","5","17","All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness."
"kjv","21","5","18","Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion."
"kjv","21","5","19","Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God."
"kjv","21","5","20","For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart."
"kjv","21","6","1","There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:"
"kjv","21","6","2","A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease."
"kjv","21","6","3","If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he."
"kjv","21","6","4","For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness."
"kjv","21","6","5","Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other."
"kjv","21","6","6","Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?"
"kjv","21","6","7","All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled."
"kjv","21","6","8","For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?"
"kjv","21","6","9","Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit."
"kjv","21","6","10","That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he."
"kjv","21","6","11","Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?"
"kjv","21","6","12","For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?"
"kjv","21","7","1","A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth."
"kjv","21","7","2","It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart."
"kjv","21","7","3","Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better."
"kjv","21","7","4","The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."
"kjv","21","7","5","It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools."
"kjv","21","7","6","For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity."
"kjv","21","7","7","Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart."
"kjv","21","7","8","Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
"kjv","21","7","9","Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools."
"kjv","21","7","10","Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this."
"kjv","21","7","11","Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun."
"kjv","21","7","12","For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it."
"kjv","21","7","13","Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?"
"kjv","21","7","14","In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him."
"kjv","21","7","15","All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness."
"kjv","21","7","16","Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?"
"kjv","21","7","17","Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?"
"kjv","21","7","18","It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all."
"kjv","21","7","19","Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city."
"kjv","21","7","20","For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
"kjv","21","7","21","Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:"
"kjv","21","7","22","For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others."
"kjv","21","7","23","All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me."
"kjv","21","7","24","That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?"
"kjv","21","7","25","I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:"
"kjv","21","7","26","And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her."
"kjv","21","7","27","Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:"
"kjv","21","7","28","Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found."
"kjv","21","7","29","Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."
"kjv","21","8","1","Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed."
"kjv","21","8","2","I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God."
"kjv","21","8","3","Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him."
"kjv","21","8","4","Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?"
"kjv","21","8","5","Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment."
"kjv","21","8","6","Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him."
"kjv","21","8","7","For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?"
"kjv","21","8","8","There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it."
"kjv","21","8","9","All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt."
"kjv","21","8","10","And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity."
"kjv","21","8","11","Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."
"kjv","21","8","12","Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:"
"kjv","21","8","13","But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God."
"kjv","21","8","14","There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity."
"kjv","21","8","15","Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun."
"kjv","21","8","16","When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)"
"kjv","21","8","17","Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it."
"kjv","21","9","1","For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them."
"kjv","21","9","2","All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath."
"kjv","21","9","3","This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead."
"kjv","21","9","4","For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion."
"kjv","21","9","5","For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
"kjv","21","9","6","Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun."
"kjv","21","9","7","Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works."
"kjv","21","9","8","Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment."
"kjv","21","9","9","Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun."
"kjv","21","9","10","Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
"kjv","21","9","11","I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
"kjv","21","9","12","For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them."
"kjv","21","9","13","This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:"
"kjv","21","9","14","There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:"
"kjv","21","9","15","Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man."
"kjv","21","9","16","Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard."
"kjv","21","9","17","The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools."
"kjv","21","9","18","Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good."
"kjv","21","10","1","Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour."
"kjv","21","10","2","A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left."
"kjv","21","10","3","Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool."
"kjv","21","10","4","If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences."
"kjv","21","10","5","There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:"
"kjv","21","10","6","Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place."
"kjv","21","10","7","I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth."
"kjv","21","10","8","He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him."
"kjv","21","10","9","Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby."
"kjv","21","10","10","If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct."
"kjv","21","10","11","Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better."
"kjv","21","10","12","The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself."
"kjv","21","10","13","The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness."
"kjv","21","10","14","A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?"
"kjv","21","10","15","The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city."
"kjv","21","10","16","Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!"
"kjv","21","10","17","Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!"
"kjv","21","10","18","By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through."
"kjv","21","10","19","A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things."
"kjv","21","10","20","Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."
"kjv","21","11","1","Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days."
"kjv","21","11","2","Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth."
"kjv","21","11","3","If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
"kjv","21","11","4","He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap."
"kjv","21","11","5","As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all."
"kjv","21","11","6","In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."
"kjv","21","11","7","Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:"
"kjv","21","11","8","But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity."
"kjv","21","11","9","Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment."
"kjv","21","11","10","Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity."
"kjv","21","12","1","Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;"
"kjv","21","12","2","While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:"
"kjv","21","12","3","In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,"
"kjv","21","12","4","And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;"
"kjv","21","12","5","Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:"
"kjv","21","12","6","Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern."
"kjv","21","12","7","Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
"kjv","21","12","8","Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity."
"kjv","21","12","9","And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs."
"kjv","21","12","10","The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth."
"kjv","21","12","11","The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd."
"kjv","21","12","12","And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."
"kjv","21","12","13","Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
"kjv","21","12","14","For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
"kjv","22","1","1","The song of songs, which is Solomon's."
"kjv","22","1","2","Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine."
"kjv","22","1","3","Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee."
"kjv","22","1","4","Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee."
"kjv","22","1","5","I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon."
"kjv","22","1","6","Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept."
"kjv","22","1","7","Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?"
"kjv","22","1","8","If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents."
"kjv","22","1","9","I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots."
"kjv","22","1","10","Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold."
"kjv","22","1","11","We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver."
"kjv","22","1","12","While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof."
"kjv","22","1","13","A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts."
"kjv","22","1","14","My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi."
"kjv","22","1","15","Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes."
"kjv","22","1","16","Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green."
"kjv","22","1","17","The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir."
"kjv","22","2","1","I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys."
"kjv","22","2","2","As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters."
"kjv","22","2","3","As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."
"kjv","22","2","4","He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love."
"kjv","22","2","5","Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love."
"kjv","22","2","6","His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me."
"kjv","22","2","7","I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please."
"kjv","22","2","8","The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills."
"kjv","22","2","9","My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice."
"kjv","22","2","10","My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."
"kjv","22","2","11","For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;"
"kjv","22","2","12","The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;"
"kjv","22","2","13","The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."
"kjv","22","2","14","O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely."
"kjv","22","2","15","Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes."
"kjv","22","2","16","My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies."
"kjv","22","2","17","Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether."
"kjv","22","3","1","By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not."
"kjv","22","3","2","I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not."
"kjv","22","3","3","The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?"
"kjv","22","3","4","It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me."
"kjv","22","3","5","I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please."
"kjv","22","3","6","Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?"
"kjv","22","3","7","Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel."
"kjv","22","3","8","They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night."
"kjv","22","3","9","King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon."
"kjv","22","3","10","He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem."
"kjv","22","3","11","Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart."
"kjv","22","4","1","Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead."
"kjv","22","4","2","Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them."
"kjv","22","4","3","Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks."
"kjv","22","4","4","Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men."
"kjv","22","4","5","Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies."
"kjv","22","4","6","Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense."
"kjv","22","4","7","Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee."
"kjv","22","4","8","Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards."
"kjv","22","4","9","Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck."
"kjv","22","4","10","How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!"
"kjv","22","4","11","Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon."
"kjv","22","4","12","A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed."
"kjv","22","4","13","Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,"
"kjv","22","4","14","Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:"
"kjv","22","4","15","A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon."
"kjv","22","4","16","Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits."
"kjv","22","5","1","I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."
"kjv","22","5","2","I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night."
"kjv","22","5","3","I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?"
"kjv","22","5","4","My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him."
"kjv","22","5","5","I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock."
"kjv","22","5","6","I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer."
"kjv","22","5","7","The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me."
"kjv","22","5","8","I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love."
"kjv","22","5","9","What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?"
"kjv","22","5","10","My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand."
"kjv","22","5","11","His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven."
"kjv","22","5","12","His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set."
"kjv","22","5","13","His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh."
"kjv","22","5","14","His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires."
"kjv","22","5","15","His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars."
"kjv","22","5","16","His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem."
"kjv","22","6","1","Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee."
"kjv","22","6","2","My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies."
"kjv","22","6","3","I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies."
"kjv","22","6","4","Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners."
"kjv","22","6","5","Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead."
"kjv","22","6","6","Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them."
"kjv","22","6","7","As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks."
"kjv","22","6","8","There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number."
"kjv","22","6","9","My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her."
"kjv","22","6","10","Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?"
"kjv","22","6","11","I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded."
"kjv","22","6","12","Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib."
"kjv","22","6","13","Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies."
"kjv","22","7","1","How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman."
"kjv","22","7","2","Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies."
"kjv","22","7","3","Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins."
"kjv","22","7","4","Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus."
"kjv","22","7","5","Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries."
"kjv","22","7","6","How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!"
"kjv","22","7","7","This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes."
"kjv","22","7","8","I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;"
"kjv","22","7","9","And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak."
"kjv","22","7","10","I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me."
"kjv","22","7","11","Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages."
"kjv","22","7","12","Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves."
"kjv","22","7","13","The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved."
"kjv","22","8","1","O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised."
"kjv","22","8","2","I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate."
"kjv","22","8","3","His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me."
"kjv","22","8","4","I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please."
"kjv","22","8","5","Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee."
"kjv","22","8","6","Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame."
"kjv","22","8","7","Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned."
"kjv","22","8","8","We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?"
"kjv","22","8","9","If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar."
"kjv","22","8","10","I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour."
"kjv","22","8","11","Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver."
"kjv","22","8","12","My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred."
"kjv","22","8","13","Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it."
"kjv","22","8","14","Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices."
"kjv","23","1","1","The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah."
"kjv","23","1","2","Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me."
"kjv","23","1","3","The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider."
"kjv","23","1","4","Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward."
"kjv","23","1","5","Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint."
"kjv","23","1","6","From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment."
"kjv","23","1","7","Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers."
"kjv","23","1","8","And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city."
"kjv","23","1","9","Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah."
"kjv","23","1","10","Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah."
"kjv","23","1","11","To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats."
"kjv","23","1","12","When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?"
"kjv","23","1","13","Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting."
"kjv","23","1","14","Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them."
"kjv","23","1","15","And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood."
"kjv","23","1","16","Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;"
"kjv","23","1","17","Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow."
"kjv","23","1","18","Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
"kjv","23","1","19","If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:"
"kjv","23","1","20","But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","23","1","21","How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers."
"kjv","23","1","22","Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:"
"kjv","23","1","23","Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them."
"kjv","23","1","24","Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:"
"kjv","23","1","25","And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:"
"kjv","23","1","26","And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city."
"kjv","23","1","27","Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness."
"kjv","23","1","28","And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed."
"kjv","23","1","29","For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen."
"kjv","23","1","30","For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water."
"kjv","23","1","31","And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them."
"kjv","23","2","1","The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","2","2","And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."
"kjv","23","2","3","And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","2","4","And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
"kjv","23","2","5","O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD."
"kjv","23","2","6","Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers."
"kjv","23","2","7","Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:"
"kjv","23","2","8","Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:"
"kjv","23","2","9","And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not."
"kjv","23","2","10","Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty."
"kjv","23","2","11","The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day."
"kjv","23","2","12","For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:"
"kjv","23","2","13","And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,"
"kjv","23","2","14","And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,"
"kjv","23","2","15","And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,"
"kjv","23","2","16","And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures."
"kjv","23","2","17","And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day."
"kjv","23","2","18","And the idols he shall utterly abolish."
"kjv","23","2","19","And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth."
"kjv","23","2","20","In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;"
"kjv","23","2","21","To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth."
"kjv","23","2","22","Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?"
"kjv","23","3","1","For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water."
"kjv","23","3","2","The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,"
"kjv","23","3","3","The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator."
"kjv","23","3","4","And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them."
"kjv","23","3","5","And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable."
"kjv","23","3","6","When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:"
"kjv","23","3","7","In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people."
"kjv","23","3","8","For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory."
"kjv","23","3","9","The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves."
"kjv","23","3","10","Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings."
"kjv","23","3","11","Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him."
"kjv","23","3","12","As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."
"kjv","23","3","13","The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people."
"kjv","23","3","14","The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses."
"kjv","23","3","15","What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts."
"kjv","23","3","16","Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:"
"kjv","23","3","17","Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts."
"kjv","23","3","18","In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,"
"kjv","23","3","19","The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,"
"kjv","23","3","20","The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,"
"kjv","23","3","21","The rings, and nose jewels,"
"kjv","23","3","22","The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,"
"kjv","23","3","23","The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils."
"kjv","23","3","24","And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty."
"kjv","23","3","25","Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war."
"kjv","23","3","26","And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground."
"kjv","23","4","1","And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."
"kjv","23","4","2","In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel."
"kjv","23","4","3","And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:"
"kjv","23","4","4","When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning."
"kjv","23","4","5","And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence."
"kjv","23","4","6","And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain."
"kjv","23","5","1","Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:"
"kjv","23","5","2","And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes."
"kjv","23","5","3","And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard."
"kjv","23","5","4","What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"
"kjv","23","5","5","And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:"
"kjv","23","5","6","And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it."
"kjv","23","5","7","For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry."
"kjv","23","5","8","Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!"
"kjv","23","5","9","In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant."
"kjv","23","5","10","Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah."
"kjv","23","5","11","Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!"
"kjv","23","5","12","And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands."
"kjv","23","5","13","Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst."
"kjv","23","5","14","Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it."
"kjv","23","5","15","And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:"
"kjv","23","5","16","But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness."
"kjv","23","5","17","Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat."
"kjv","23","5","18","Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:"
"kjv","23","5","19","That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!"
"kjv","23","5","20","Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
"kjv","23","5","21","Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
"kjv","23","5","22","Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:"
"kjv","23","5","23","Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!"
"kjv","23","5","24","Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","5","25","Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"kjv","23","5","26","And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:"
"kjv","23","5","27","None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:"
"kjv","23","5","28","Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind."
"kjv","23","5","29","Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it."
"kjv","23","5","30","And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof."
"kjv","23","6","1","In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple."
"kjv","23","6","2","Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly."
"kjv","23","6","3","And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."
"kjv","23","6","4","And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke."
"kjv","23","6","5","Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","23","6","6","Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:"
"kjv","23","6","7","And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged."
"kjv","23","6","8","Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
"kjv","23","6","9","And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not."
"kjv","23","6","10","Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."
"kjv","23","6","11","Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,"
"kjv","23","6","12","And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land."
"kjv","23","6","13","But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof."
"kjv","23","7","1","And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it."
"kjv","23","7","2","And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind."
"kjv","23","7","3","Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;"
"kjv","23","7","4","And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah."
"kjv","23","7","5","Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,"
"kjv","23","7","6","Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:"
"kjv","23","7","7","Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass."
"kjv","23","7","8","For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people."
"kjv","23","7","9","And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established."
"kjv","23","7","10","Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,"
"kjv","23","7","11","Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above."
"kjv","23","7","12","But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD."
"kjv","23","7","13","And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?"
"kjv","23","7","14","Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
"kjv","23","7","15","Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good."
"kjv","23","7","16","For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings."
"kjv","23","7","17","The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria."
"kjv","23","7","18","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria."
"kjv","23","7","19","And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes."
"kjv","23","7","20","In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard."
"kjv","23","7","21","And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;"
"kjv","23","7","22","And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land."
"kjv","23","7","23","And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns."
"kjv","23","7","24","With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns."
"kjv","23","7","25","And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle."
"kjv","23","8","1","Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz."
"kjv","23","8","2","And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."
"kjv","23","8","3","And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz."
"kjv","23","8","4","For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria."
"kjv","23","8","5","The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,"
"kjv","23","8","6","Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;"
"kjv","23","8","7","Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:"
"kjv","23","8","8","And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel."
"kjv","23","8","9","Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces."
"kjv","23","8","10","Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us."
"kjv","23","8","11","For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,"
"kjv","23","8","12","Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid."
"kjv","23","8","13","Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread."
"kjv","23","8","14","And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","8","15","And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken."
"kjv","23","8","16","Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples."
"kjv","23","8","17","And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him."
"kjv","23","8","18","Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion."
"kjv","23","8","19","And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?"
"kjv","23","8","20","To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."
"kjv","23","8","21","And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward."
"kjv","23","8","22","And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness."
"kjv","23","9","1","Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations."
"kjv","23","9","2","The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
"kjv","23","9","3","Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil."
"kjv","23","9","4","For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian."
"kjv","23","9","5","For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire."
"kjv","23","9","6","For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
"kjv","23","9","7","Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."
"kjv","23","9","8","The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel."
"kjv","23","9","9","And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,"
"kjv","23","9","10","The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars."
"kjv","23","9","11","Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;"
"kjv","23","9","12","The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"kjv","23","9","13","For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","23","9","14","Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day."
"kjv","23","9","15","The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail."
"kjv","23","9","16","For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed."
"kjv","23","9","17","Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"kjv","23","9","18","For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke."
"kjv","23","9","19","Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother."
"kjv","23","9","20","And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:"
"kjv","23","9","21","Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"kjv","23","10","1","Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;"
"kjv","23","10","2","To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!"
"kjv","23","10","3","And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?"
"kjv","23","10","4","Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"kjv","23","10","5","O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation."
"kjv","23","10","6","I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets."
"kjv","23","10","7","Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few."
"kjv","23","10","8","For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?"
"kjv","23","10","9","Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?"
"kjv","23","10","10","As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria:"
"kjv","23","10","11","Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
"kjv","23","10","12","Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks."
"kjv","23","10","13","For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:"
"kjv","23","10","14","And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped."
"kjv","23","10","15","Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood."
"kjv","23","10","16","Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire."
"kjv","23","10","17","And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;"
"kjv","23","10","18","And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standardbearer fainteth."
"kjv","23","10","19","And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them."
"kjv","23","10","20","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth."
"kjv","23","10","21","The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God."
"kjv","23","10","22","For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness."
"kjv","23","10","23","For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land."
"kjv","23","10","24","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt."
"kjv","23","10","25","For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction."
"kjv","23","10","26","And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt."
"kjv","23","10","27","And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."
"kjv","23","10","28","He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:"
"kjv","23","10","29","They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled."
"kjv","23","10","30","Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth."
"kjv","23","10","31","Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee."
"kjv","23","10","32","As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","10","33","Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled."
"kjv","23","10","34","And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one."
"kjv","23","11","1","And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:"
"kjv","23","11","2","And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;"
"kjv","23","11","3","And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:"
"kjv","23","11","4","But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked."
"kjv","23","11","5","And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."
"kjv","23","11","6","The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
"kjv","23","11","7","And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox."
"kjv","23","11","8","And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den."
"kjv","23","11","9","They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
"kjv","23","11","10","And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious."
"kjv","23","11","11","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea."
"kjv","23","11","12","And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."
"kjv","23","11","13","The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim."
"kjv","23","11","14","But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them."
"kjv","23","11","15","And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod."
"kjv","23","11","16","And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","23","12","1","And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me."
"kjv","23","12","2","Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation."
"kjv","23","12","3","Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."
"kjv","23","12","4","And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted."
"kjv","23","12","5","Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth."
"kjv","23","12","6","Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee."
"kjv","23","13","1","The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see."
"kjv","23","13","2","Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles."
"kjv","23","13","3","I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness."
"kjv","23","13","4","The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle."
"kjv","23","13","5","They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land."
"kjv","23","13","6","Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty."
"kjv","23","13","7","Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:"
"kjv","23","13","8","And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames."
"kjv","23","13","9","Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it."
"kjv","23","13","10","For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine."
"kjv","23","13","11","And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible."
"kjv","23","13","12","I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir."
"kjv","23","13","13","Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger."
"kjv","23","13","14","And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land."
"kjv","23","13","15","Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword."
"kjv","23","13","16","Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished."
"kjv","23","13","17","Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it."
"kjv","23","13","18","Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children."
"kjv","23","13","19","And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah."
"kjv","23","13","20","It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there."
"kjv","23","13","21","But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there."
"kjv","23","13","22","And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged."
"kjv","23","14","1","For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob."
"kjv","23","14","2","And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors."
"kjv","23","14","3","And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve."
"kjv","23","14","4","That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!"
"kjv","23","14","5","The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers."
"kjv","23","14","6","He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth."
"kjv","23","14","7","The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing."
"kjv","23","14","8","Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us."
"kjv","23","14","9","Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations."
"kjv","23","14","10","All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?"
"kjv","23","14","11","Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee."
"kjv","23","14","12","How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"
"kjv","23","14","13","For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:"
"kjv","23","14","14","I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
"kjv","23","14","15","Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
"kjv","23","14","16","They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"
"kjv","23","14","17","That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?"
"kjv","23","14","18","All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house."
"kjv","23","14","19","But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet."
"kjv","23","14","20","Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned."
"kjv","23","14","21","Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities."
"kjv","23","14","22","For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","14","23","I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","23","14","24","The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:"
"kjv","23","14","25","That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders."
"kjv","23","14","26","This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations."
"kjv","23","14","27","For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?"
"kjv","23","14","28","In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden."
"kjv","23","14","29","Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent."
"kjv","23","14","30","And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant."
"kjv","23","14","31","Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times."
"kjv","23","14","32","What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it."
"kjv","23","15","1","The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to silence;"
"kjv","23","15","2","He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off."
"kjv","23","15","3","In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly."
"kjv","23","15","4","And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life shall be grievous unto him."
"kjv","23","15","5","My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction."
"kjv","23","15","6","For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing."
"kjv","23","15","7","Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows."
"kjv","23","15","8","For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim."
"kjv","23","15","9","For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land."
"kjv","23","16","1","Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion."
"kjv","23","16","2","For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon."
"kjv","23","16","3","Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth."
"kjv","23","16","4","Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land."
"kjv","23","16","5","And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness."
"kjv","23","16","6","We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so."
"kjv","23","16","7","Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken."
"kjv","23","16","8","For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea."
"kjv","23","16","9","Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen."
"kjv","23","16","10","And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease."
"kjv","23","16","11","Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh."
"kjv","23","16","12","And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not prevail."
"kjv","23","16","13","This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that time."
"kjv","23","16","14","But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble."
"kjv","23","17","1","The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."
"kjv","23","17","2","The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
"kjv","23","17","3","The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","23","17","4","And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean."
"kjv","23","17","5","And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim."
"kjv","23","17","6","Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel."
"kjv","23","17","7","At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","17","8","And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images."
"kjv","23","17","9","In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation."
"kjv","23","17","10","Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:"
"kjv","23","17","11","In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow."
"kjv","23","17","12","Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!"
"kjv","23","17","13","The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind."
"kjv","23","17","14","And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us."
"kjv","23","18","1","Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:"
"kjv","23","18","2","That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!"
"kjv","23","18","3","All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye."
"kjv","23","18","4","For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
"kjv","23","18","5","For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches."
"kjv","23","18","6","They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them."
"kjv","23","18","7","In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion."
"kjv","23","19","1","The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it."
"kjv","23","19","2","And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom."
"kjv","23","19","3","And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards."
"kjv","23","19","4","And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","23","19","5","And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up."
"kjv","23","19","6","And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither."
"kjv","23","19","7","The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more."
"kjv","23","19","8","The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish."
"kjv","23","19","9","Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded."
"kjv","23","19","10","And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish."
"kjv","23","19","11","Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
"kjv","23","19","12","Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt."
"kjv","23","19","13","The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof."
"kjv","23","19","14","The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit."
"kjv","23","19","15","Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do."
"kjv","23","19","16","In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it."
"kjv","23","19","17","And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it."
"kjv","23","19","18","In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction."
"kjv","23","19","19","In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD."
"kjv","23","19","20","And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them."
"kjv","23","19","21","And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it."
"kjv","23","19","22","And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them."
"kjv","23","19","23","In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians."
"kjv","23","19","24","In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:"
"kjv","23","19","25","Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance."
"kjv","23","20","1","In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;"
"kjv","23","20","2","At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot."
"kjv","23","20","3","And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;"
"kjv","23","20","4","So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt."
"kjv","23","20","5","And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory."
"kjv","23","20","6","And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?"
"kjv","23","21","1","The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land."
"kjv","23","21","2","A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease."
"kjv","23","21","3","Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it."
"kjv","23","21","4","My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me."
"kjv","23","21","5","Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield."
"kjv","23","21","6","For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth."
"kjv","23","21","7","And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:"
"kjv","23","21","8","And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:"
"kjv","23","21","9","And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground."
"kjv","23","21","10","O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you."
"kjv","23","21","11","The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"
"kjv","23","21","12","The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: return, come."
"kjv","23","21","13","The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim."
"kjv","23","21","14","The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled."
"kjv","23","21","15","For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war."
"kjv","23","21","16","For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:"
"kjv","23","21","17","And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it."
"kjv","23","22","1","The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?"
"kjv","23","22","2","Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle."
"kjv","23","22","3","All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far."
"kjv","23","22","4","Therefore said I, Look away from me: I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people."
"kjv","23","22","5","For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains."
"kjv","23","22","6","And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield."
"kjv","23","22","7","And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate."
"kjv","23","22","8","And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest."
"kjv","23","22","9","Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool."
"kjv","23","22","10","And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall."
"kjv","23","22","11","Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago."
"kjv","23","22","12","And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:"
"kjv","23","22","13","And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die."
"kjv","23","22","14","And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts."
"kjv","23","22","15","Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,"
"kjv","23","22","16","What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?"
"kjv","23","22","17","Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee."
"kjv","23","22","18","He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house."
"kjv","23","22","19","And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down."
"kjv","23","22","20","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:"
"kjv","23","22","21","And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah."
"kjv","23","22","22","And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open."
"kjv","23","22","23","And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house."
"kjv","23","22","24","And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons."
"kjv","23","22","25","In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","23","23","1","The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them."
"kjv","23","23","2","Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished."
"kjv","23","23","3","And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations."
"kjv","23","23","4","Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins."
"kjv","23","23","5","As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre."
"kjv","23","23","6","Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle."
"kjv","23","23","7","Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn."
"kjv","23","23","8","Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?"
"kjv","23","23","9","The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth."
"kjv","23","23","10","Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength."
"kjv","23","23","11","He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof."
"kjv","23","23","12","And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest."
"kjv","23","23","13","Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin."
"kjv","23","23","14","Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste."
"kjv","23","23","15","And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot."
"kjv","23","23","16","Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered."
"kjv","23","23","17","And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth."
"kjv","23","23","18","And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing."
"kjv","23","24","1","Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."
"kjv","23","24","2","And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him."
"kjv","23","24","3","The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word."
"kjv","23","24","4","The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish."
"kjv","23","24","5","The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant."
"kjv","23","24","6","Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left."
"kjv","23","24","7","The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh."
"kjv","23","24","8","The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth."
"kjv","23","24","9","They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it."
"kjv","23","24","10","The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in."
"kjv","23","24","11","There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone."
"kjv","23","24","12","In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction."
"kjv","23","24","13","When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done."
"kjv","23","24","14","They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea."
"kjv","23","24","15","Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea."
"kjv","23","24","16","From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously."
"kjv","23","24","17","Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth."
"kjv","23","24","18","And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake."
"kjv","23","24","19","The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly."
"kjv","23","24","20","The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again."
"kjv","23","24","21","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth."
"kjv","23","24","22","And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited."
"kjv","23","24","23","Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously."
"kjv","23","25","1","O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth."
"kjv","23","25","2","For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built."
"kjv","23","25","3","Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee."
"kjv","23","25","4","For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall."
"kjv","23","25","5","Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low."
"kjv","23","25","6","And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined."
"kjv","23","25","7","And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations."
"kjv","23","25","8","He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","23","25","9","And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
"kjv","23","25","10","For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill."
"kjv","23","25","11","And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands."
"kjv","23","25","12","And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust."
"kjv","23","26","1","In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks."
"kjv","23","26","2","Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in."
"kjv","23","26","3","Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
"kjv","23","26","4","Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:"
"kjv","23","26","5","For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust."
"kjv","23","26","6","The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy."
"kjv","23","26","7","The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just."
"kjv","23","26","8","Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee."
"kjv","23","26","9","With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."
"kjv","23","26","10","Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD."
"kjv","23","26","11","LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them."
"kjv","23","26","12","LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us."
"kjv","23","26","13","O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name."
"kjv","23","26","14","They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish."
"kjv","23","26","15","Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth."
"kjv","23","26","16","LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them."
"kjv","23","26","17","Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD."
"kjv","23","26","18","We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen."
"kjv","23","26","19","Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."
"kjv","23","26","20","Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast."
"kjv","23","26","21","For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."
"kjv","23","27","1","In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea."
"kjv","23","27","2","In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine."
"kjv","23","27","3","I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day."
"kjv","23","27","4","Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together."
"kjv","23","27","5","Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me."
"kjv","23","27","6","He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit."
"kjv","23","27","7","Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?"
"kjv","23","27","8","In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind."
"kjv","23","27","9","By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up."
"kjv","23","27","10","Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof."
"kjv","23","27","11","When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour."
"kjv","23","27","12","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel."
"kjv","23","27","13","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","28","1","Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!"
"kjv","23","28","2","Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand."
"kjv","23","28","3","The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:"
"kjv","23","28","4","And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up."
"kjv","23","28","5","In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,"
"kjv","23","28","6","And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate."
"kjv","23","28","7","But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment."
"kjv","23","28","8","For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean."
"kjv","23","28","9","Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts."
"kjv","23","28","10","For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"
"kjv","23","28","11","For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people."
"kjv","23","28","12","To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear."
"kjv","23","28","13","But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."
"kjv","23","28","14","Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","28","15","Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"
"kjv","23","28","16","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."
"kjv","23","28","17","Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place."
"kjv","23","28","18","And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it."
"kjv","23","28","19","From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report."
"kjv","23","28","20","For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."
"kjv","23","28","21","For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act."
"kjv","23","28","22","Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth."
"kjv","23","28","23","Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech."
"kjv","23","28","24","Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?"
"kjv","23","28","25","When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?"
"kjv","23","28","26","For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him."
"kjv","23","28","27","For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod."
"kjv","23","28","28","Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen."
"kjv","23","28","29","This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working."
"kjv","23","29","1","Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices."
"kjv","23","29","2","Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel."
"kjv","23","29","3","And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee."
"kjv","23","29","4","And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust."
"kjv","23","29","5","Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly."
"kjv","23","29","6","Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire."
"kjv","23","29","7","And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision."
"kjv","23","29","8","It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion."
"kjv","23","29","9","Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink."
"kjv","23","29","10","For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered."
"kjv","23","29","11","And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:"
"kjv","23","29","12","And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
"kjv","23","29","13","Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:"
"kjv","23","29","14","Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."
"kjv","23","29","15","Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?"
"kjv","23","29","16","Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?"
"kjv","23","29","17","Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?"
"kjv","23","29","18","And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness."
"kjv","23","29","19","The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","29","20","For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:"
"kjv","23","29","21","That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought."
"kjv","23","29","22","Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale."
"kjv","23","29","23","But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel."
"kjv","23","29","24","They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine."
"kjv","23","30","1","Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:"
"kjv","23","30","2","That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!"
"kjv","23","30","3","Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion."
"kjv","23","30","4","For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes."
"kjv","23","30","5","They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."
"kjv","23","30","6","The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them."
"kjv","23","30","7","For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still."
"kjv","23","30","8","Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:"
"kjv","23","30","9","That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:"
"kjv","23","30","10","Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:"
"kjv","23","30","11","Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."
"kjv","23","30","12","Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:"
"kjv","23","30","13","Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant."
"kjv","23","30","14","And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit."
"kjv","23","30","15","For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not."
"kjv","23","30","16","But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift."
"kjv","23","30","17","One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill."
"kjv","23","30","18","And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him."
"kjv","23","30","19","For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee."
"kjv","23","30","20","And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:"
"kjv","23","30","21","And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."
"kjv","23","30","22","Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence."
"kjv","23","30","23","Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures."
"kjv","23","30","24","The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan."
"kjv","23","30","25","And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall."
"kjv","23","30","26","Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
"kjv","23","30","27","Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:"
"kjv","23","30","28","And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err."
"kjv","23","30","29","Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel."
"kjv","23","30","30","And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones."
"kjv","23","30","31","For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod."
"kjv","23","30","32","And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it."
"kjv","23","30","33","For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it."
"kjv","23","31","1","Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!"
"kjv","23","31","2","Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity."
"kjv","23","31","3","Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together."
"kjv","23","31","4","For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof."
"kjv","23","31","5","As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it."
"kjv","23","31","6","Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted."
"kjv","23","31","7","For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin."
"kjv","23","31","8","Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited."
"kjv","23","31","9","And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","32","1","Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment."
"kjv","23","32","2","And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land."
"kjv","23","32","3","And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken."
"kjv","23","32","4","The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly."
"kjv","23","32","5","The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful."
"kjv","23","32","6","For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail."
"kjv","23","32","7","The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right."
"kjv","23","32","8","But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand."
"kjv","23","32","9","Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech."
"kjv","23","32","10","Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come."
"kjv","23","32","11","Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins."
"kjv","23","32","12","They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine."
"kjv","23","32","13","Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:"
"kjv","23","32","14","Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;"
"kjv","23","32","15","Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest."
"kjv","23","32","16","Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field."
"kjv","23","32","17","And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever."
"kjv","23","32","18","And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;"
"kjv","23","32","19","When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place."
"kjv","23","32","20","Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass."
"kjv","23","33","1","Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee."
"kjv","23","33","2","O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble."
"kjv","23","33","3","At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered."
"kjv","23","33","4","And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them."
"kjv","23","33","5","The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness."
"kjv","23","33","6","And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure."
"kjv","23","33","7","Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly."
"kjv","23","33","8","The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man."
"kjv","23","33","9","The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits."
"kjv","23","33","10","Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself."
"kjv","23","33","11","Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you."
"kjv","23","33","12","And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire."
"kjv","23","33","13","Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might."
"kjv","23","33","14","The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?"
"kjv","23","33","15","He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;"
"kjv","23","33","16","He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure."
"kjv","23","33","17","Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off."
"kjv","23","33","18","Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?"
"kjv","23","33","19","Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand."
"kjv","23","33","20","Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken."
"kjv","23","33","21","But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby."
"kjv","23","33","22","For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us."
"kjv","23","33","23","Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey."
"kjv","23","33","24","And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."
"kjv","23","34","1","Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it."
"kjv","23","34","2","For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter."
"kjv","23","34","3","Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood."
"kjv","23","34","4","And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree."
"kjv","23","34","5","For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment."
"kjv","23","34","6","The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea."
"kjv","23","34","7","And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness."
"kjv","23","34","8","For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion."
"kjv","23","34","9","And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch."
"kjv","23","34","10","It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever."
"kjv","23","34","11","But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness."
"kjv","23","34","12","They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing."
"kjv","23","34","13","And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls."
"kjv","23","34","14","The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest."
"kjv","23","34","15","There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate."
"kjv","23","34","16","Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them."
"kjv","23","34","17","And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein."
"kjv","23","35","1","The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose."
"kjv","23","35","2","It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God."
"kjv","23","35","3","Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees."
"kjv","23","35","4","Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you."
"kjv","23","35","5","Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped."
"kjv","23","35","6","Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."
"kjv","23","35","7","And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes."
"kjv","23","35","8","And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein."
"kjv","23","35","9","No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:"
"kjv","23","35","10","And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
"kjv","23","36","1","Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them."
"kjv","23","36","2","And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field."
"kjv","23","36","3","Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder."
"kjv","23","36","4","And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?"
"kjv","23","36","5","I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?"
"kjv","23","36","6","Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him."
"kjv","23","36","7","But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?"
"kjv","23","36","8","Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them."
"kjv","23","36","9","How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?"
"kjv","23","36","10","And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it."
"kjv","23","36","11","Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall."
"kjv","23","36","12","But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?"
"kjv","23","36","13","Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria."
"kjv","23","36","14","Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you."
"kjv","23","36","15","Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria."
"kjv","23","36","16","Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;"
"kjv","23","36","17","Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards."
"kjv","23","36","18","Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?"
"kjv","23","36","19","Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?"
"kjv","23","36","20","Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?"
"kjv","23","36","21","But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not."
"kjv","23","36","22","Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh."
"kjv","23","37","1","And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD."
"kjv","23","37","2","And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz."
"kjv","23","37","3","And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth."
"kjv","23","37","4","It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left."
"kjv","23","37","5","So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah."
"kjv","23","37","6","And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me."
"kjv","23","37","7","Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."
"kjv","23","37","8","So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish."
"kjv","23","37","9","And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,"
"kjv","23","37","10","Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
"kjv","23","37","11","Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?"
"kjv","23","37","12","Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?"
"kjv","23","37","13","Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?"
"kjv","23","37","14","And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD."
"kjv","23","37","15","And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","23","37","16","O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth."
"kjv","23","37","17","Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God."
"kjv","23","37","18","Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries."
"kjv","23","37","19","And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them."
"kjv","23","37","20","Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only."
"kjv","23","37","21","Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:"
"kjv","23","37","22","This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee."
"kjv","23","37","23","Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","37","24","By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel."
"kjv","23","37","25","I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places."
"kjv","23","37","26","Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps."
"kjv","23","37","27","Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up."
"kjv","23","37","28","But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me."
"kjv","23","37","29","Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest."
"kjv","23","37","30","And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof."
"kjv","23","37","31","And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:"
"kjv","23","37","32","For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this."
"kjv","23","37","33","Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it."
"kjv","23","37","34","By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","37","35","For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake."
"kjv","23","37","36","Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses."
"kjv","23","37","37","So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh."
"kjv","23","37","38","And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."
"kjv","23","38","1","In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live."
"kjv","23","38","2","Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,"
"kjv","23","38","3","And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore."
"kjv","23","38","4","Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,"
"kjv","23","38","5","Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years."
"kjv","23","38","6","And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city."
"kjv","23","38","7","And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;"
"kjv","23","38","8","Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down."
"kjv","23","38","9","The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:"
"kjv","23","38","10","I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years."
"kjv","23","38","11","I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world."
"kjv","23","38","12","Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me."
"kjv","23","38","13","I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me."
"kjv","23","38","14","Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me."
"kjv","23","38","15","What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul."
"kjv","23","38","16","O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live."
"kjv","23","38","17","Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."
"kjv","23","38","18","For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth."
"kjv","23","38","19","The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth."
"kjv","23","38","20","The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","23","38","21","For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover."
"kjv","23","38","22","Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"
"kjv","23","39","1","At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered."
"kjv","23","39","2","And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not."
"kjv","23","39","3","Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon."
"kjv","23","39","4","Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them."
"kjv","23","39","5","Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:"
"kjv","23","39","6","Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","39","7","And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."
"kjv","23","39","8","Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days."
"kjv","23","40","1","Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God."
"kjv","23","40","2","Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins."
"kjv","23","40","3","The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
"kjv","23","40","4","Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:"
"kjv","23","40","5","And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","23","40","6","The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:"
"kjv","23","40","7","The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass."
"kjv","23","40","8","The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
"kjv","23","40","9","O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!"
"kjv","23","40","10","Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him."
"kjv","23","40","11","He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young."
"kjv","23","40","12","Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?"
"kjv","23","40","13","Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?"
"kjv","23","40","14","With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?"
"kjv","23","40","15","Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing."
"kjv","23","40","16","And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering."
"kjv","23","40","17","All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity."
"kjv","23","40","18","To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?"
"kjv","23","40","19","The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains."
"kjv","23","40","20","He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved."
"kjv","23","40","21","Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?"
"kjv","23","40","22","It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:"
"kjv","23","40","23","That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity."
"kjv","23","40","24","Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble."
"kjv","23","40","25","To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One."
"kjv","23","40","26","Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth."
"kjv","23","40","27","Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?"
"kjv","23","40","28","Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding."
"kjv","23","40","29","He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength."
"kjv","23","40","30","Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:"
"kjv","23","40","31","But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
"kjv","23","41","1","Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment."
"kjv","23","41","2","Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow."
"kjv","23","41","3","He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet."
"kjv","23","41","4","Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he."
"kjv","23","41","5","The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came."
"kjv","23","41","6","They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage."
"kjv","23","41","7","So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved."
"kjv","23","41","8","But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend."
"kjv","23","41","9","Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away."
"kjv","23","41","10","Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
"kjv","23","41","11","Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish."
"kjv","23","41","12","Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought."
"kjv","23","41","13","For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."
"kjv","23","41","14","Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","41","15","Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff."
"kjv","23","41","16","Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","41","17","When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them."
"kjv","23","41","18","I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water."
"kjv","23","41","19","I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:"
"kjv","23","41","20","That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it."
"kjv","23","41","21","Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob."
"kjv","23","41","22","Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come."
"kjv","23","41","23","shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together."
"kjv","23","41","24","Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you."
"kjv","23","41","25","I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay."
"kjv","23","41","26","Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words."
"kjv","23","41","27","The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings."
"kjv","23","41","28","For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word."
"kjv","23","41","29","Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion."
"kjv","23","42","1","Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles."
"kjv","23","42","2","He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street."
"kjv","23","42","3","A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth."
"kjv","23","42","4","He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law."
"kjv","23","42","5","Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:"
"kjv","23","42","6","I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;"
"kjv","23","42","7","To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."
"kjv","23","42","8","I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."
"kjv","23","42","9","Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them."
"kjv","23","42","10","Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof."
"kjv","23","42","11","Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains."
"kjv","23","42","12","Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands."
"kjv","23","42","13","The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies."
"kjv","23","42","14","I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once."
"kjv","23","42","15","I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools."
"kjv","23","42","16","And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."
"kjv","23","42","17","They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods."
"kjv","23","42","18","Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see."
"kjv","23","42","19","Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant?"
"kjv","23","42","20","Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not."
"kjv","23","42","21","The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable."
"kjv","23","42","22","But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore."
"kjv","23","42","23","Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?"
"kjv","23","42","24","Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law."
"kjv","23","42","25","Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart."
"kjv","23","43","1","But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine."
"kjv","23","43","2","When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."
"kjv","23","43","3","For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee."
"kjv","23","43","4","Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life."
"kjv","23","43","5","Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;"
"kjv","23","43","6","I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;"
"kjv","23","43","7","Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him."
"kjv","23","43","8","Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears."
"kjv","23","43","9","Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth."
"kjv","23","43","10","Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me."
"kjv","23","43","11","I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."
"kjv","23","43","12","I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God."
"kjv","23","43","13","Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?"
"kjv","23","43","14","Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships."
"kjv","23","43","15","I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King."
"kjv","23","43","16","Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;"
"kjv","23","43","17","Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow."
"kjv","23","43","18","Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old."
"kjv","23","43","19","Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
"kjv","23","43","20","The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen."
"kjv","23","43","21","This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise."
"kjv","23","43","22","But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel."
"kjv","23","43","23","Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense."
"kjv","23","43","24","Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities."
"kjv","23","43","25","I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins."
"kjv","23","43","26","Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified."
"kjv","23","43","27","Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me."
"kjv","23","43","28","Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches."
"kjv","23","44","1","Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:"
"kjv","23","44","2","Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen."
"kjv","23","44","3","For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:"
"kjv","23","44","4","And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses."
"kjv","23","44","5","One shall say, I am the Lord's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel."
"kjv","23","44","6","Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."
"kjv","23","44","7","And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them."
"kjv","23","44","8","Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any."
"kjv","23","44","9","They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed."
"kjv","23","44","10","Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?"
"kjv","23","44","11","Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together."
"kjv","23","44","12","The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint."
"kjv","23","44","13","The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house."
"kjv","23","44","14","He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it."
"kjv","23","44","15","Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto."
"kjv","23","44","16","He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:"
"kjv","23","44","17","And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god."
"kjv","23","44","18","They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand."
"kjv","23","44","19","And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?"
"kjv","23","44","20","He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?"
"kjv","23","44","21","Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me."
"kjv","23","44","22","I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."
"kjv","23","44","23","Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel."
"kjv","23","44","24","Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;"
"kjv","23","44","25","That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;"
"kjv","23","44","26","That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:"
"kjv","23","44","27","That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:"
"kjv","23","44","28","That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid."
"kjv","23","45","1","Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;"
"kjv","23","45","2","I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:"
"kjv","23","45","3","And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel."
"kjv","23","45","4","For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me."
"kjv","23","45","5","I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:"
"kjv","23","45","6","That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else."
"kjv","23","45","7","I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."
"kjv","23","45","8","Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it."
"kjv","23","45","9","Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?"
"kjv","23","45","10","Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?"
"kjv","23","45","11","Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me."
"kjv","23","45","12","I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded."
"kjv","23","45","13","I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","23","45","14","Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God."
"kjv","23","45","15","Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour."
"kjv","23","45","16","They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols."
"kjv","23","45","17","But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end."
"kjv","23","45","18","For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else."
"kjv","23","45","19","I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right."
"kjv","23","45","20","Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save."
"kjv","23","45","21","Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me."
"kjv","23","45","22","Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else."
"kjv","23","45","23","I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."
"kjv","23","45","24","Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed."
"kjv","23","45","25","In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory."
"kjv","23","46","1","Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast."
"kjv","23","46","2","They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity."
"kjv","23","46","3","Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:"
"kjv","23","46","4","And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."
"kjv","23","46","5","To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?"
"kjv","23","46","6","They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship."
"kjv","23","46","7","They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble."
"kjv","23","46","8","Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors."
"kjv","23","46","9","Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,"
"kjv","23","46","10","Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"
"kjv","23","46","11","Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it."
"kjv","23","46","12","Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:"
"kjv","23","46","13","I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."
"kjv","23","47","1","Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate."
"kjv","23","47","2","Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers."
"kjv","23","47","3","Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man."
"kjv","23","47","4","As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","47","5","Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms."
"kjv","23","47","6","I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke."
"kjv","23","47","7","And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it."
"kjv","23","47","8","Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:"
"kjv","23","47","9","But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments."
"kjv","23","47","10","For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me."
"kjv","23","47","11","Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know."
"kjv","23","47","12","Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail."
"kjv","23","47","13","Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee."
"kjv","23","47","14","Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it."
"kjv","23","47","15","Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee."
"kjv","23","48","1","Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness."
"kjv","23","48","2","For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name."
"kjv","23","48","3","I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass."
"kjv","23","48","4","Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;"
"kjv","23","48","5","I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them."
"kjv","23","48","6","Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them."
"kjv","23","48","7","They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them."
"kjv","23","48","8","Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb."
"kjv","23","48","9","For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off."
"kjv","23","48","10","Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."
"kjv","23","48","11","For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another."
"kjv","23","48","12","Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last."
"kjv","23","48","13","Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together."
"kjv","23","48","14","All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans."
"kjv","23","48","15","I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous."
"kjv","23","48","16","Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me."
"kjv","23","48","17","Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go."
"kjv","23","48","18","O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:"
"kjv","23","48","19","Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me."
"kjv","23","48","20","Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob."
"kjv","23","48","21","And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out."
"kjv","23","48","22","There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked."
"kjv","23","49","1","Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name."
"kjv","23","49","2","And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;"
"kjv","23","49","3","And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
"kjv","23","49","4","Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God."
"kjv","23","49","5","And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength."
"kjv","23","49","6","And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."
"kjv","23","49","7","Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee."
"kjv","23","49","8","Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;"
"kjv","23","49","9","That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places."
"kjv","23","49","10","They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them."
"kjv","23","49","11","And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted."
"kjv","23","49","12","Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim."
"kjv","23","49","13","Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted."
"kjv","23","49","14","But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me."
"kjv","23","49","15","Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee."
"kjv","23","49","16","Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
"kjv","23","49","17","Thy children shall make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee."
"kjv","23","49","18","Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth."
"kjv","23","49","19","For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away."
"kjv","23","49","20","The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell."
"kjv","23","49","21","Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?"
"kjv","23","49","22","Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders."
"kjv","23","49","23","And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me."
"kjv","23","49","24","Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?"
"kjv","23","49","25","But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children."
"kjv","23","49","26","And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."
"kjv","23","50","1","Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away."
"kjv","23","50","2","Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst."
"kjv","23","50","3","I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
"kjv","23","50","4","The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned."
"kjv","23","50","5","The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back."
"kjv","23","50","6","I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting."
"kjv","23","50","7","For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed."
"kjv","23","50","8","He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me."
"kjv","23","50","9","Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up."
"kjv","23","50","10","Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God."
"kjv","23","50","11","Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow."
"kjv","23","51","1","Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged."
"kjv","23","51","2","Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him."
"kjv","23","51","3","For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody."
"kjv","23","51","4","Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people."
"kjv","23","51","5","My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust."
"kjv","23","51","6","Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished."
"kjv","23","51","7","Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings."
"kjv","23","51","8","For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation."
"kjv","23","51","9","Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?"
"kjv","23","51","10","Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?"
"kjv","23","51","11","Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away."
"kjv","23","51","12","I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;"
"kjv","23","51","13","And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?"
"kjv","23","51","14","The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail."
"kjv","23","51","15","But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name."
"kjv","23","51","16","And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people."
"kjv","23","51","17","Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out."
"kjv","23","51","18","There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up."
"kjv","23","51","19","These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?"
"kjv","23","51","20","Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God."
"kjv","23","51","21","Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:"
"kjv","23","51","22","Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:"
"kjv","23","51","23","But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over."
"kjv","23","52","1","Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean."
"kjv","23","52","2","Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."
"kjv","23","52","3","For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money."
"kjv","23","52","4","For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause."
"kjv","23","52","5","Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed."
"kjv","23","52","6","Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I."
"kjv","23","52","7","How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!"
"kjv","23","52","8","Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion."
"kjv","23","52","9","Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","52","10","The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."
"kjv","23","52","11","Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD."
"kjv","23","52","12","For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward."
"kjv","23","52","13","Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high."
"kjv","23","52","14","As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:"
"kjv","23","52","15","So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider."
"kjv","23","53","1","Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?"
"kjv","23","53","2","For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him."
"kjv","23","53","3","He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
"kjv","23","53","4","Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."
"kjv","23","53","5","But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
"kjv","23","53","6","All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
"kjv","23","53","7","He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth."
"kjv","23","53","8","He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken."
"kjv","23","53","9","And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth."
"kjv","23","53","10","Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."
"kjv","23","53","11","He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities."
"kjv","23","53","12","Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
"kjv","23","54","1","Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","54","2","Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;"
"kjv","23","54","3","For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited."
"kjv","23","54","4","Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more."
"kjv","23","54","5","For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called."
"kjv","23","54","6","For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God."
"kjv","23","54","7","For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee."
"kjv","23","54","8","In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer."
"kjv","23","54","9","For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee."
"kjv","23","54","10","For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee."
"kjv","23","54","11","O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires."
"kjv","23","54","12","And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones."
"kjv","23","54","13","And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children."
"kjv","23","54","14","In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee."
"kjv","23","54","15","Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake."
"kjv","23","54","16","Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy."
"kjv","23","54","17","No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","55","1","Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."
"kjv","23","55","2","Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness."
"kjv","23","55","3","Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David."
"kjv","23","55","4","Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people."
"kjv","23","55","5","Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee."
"kjv","23","55","6","Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:"
"kjv","23","55","7","Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
"kjv","23","55","8","For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","55","9","For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
"kjv","23","55","10","For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:"
"kjv","23","55","11","So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
"kjv","23","55","12","For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
"kjv","23","55","13","Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
"kjv","23","56","1","Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed."
"kjv","23","56","2","Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil."
"kjv","23","56","3","Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree."
"kjv","23","56","4","For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;"
"kjv","23","56","5","Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off."
"kjv","23","56","6","Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;"
"kjv","23","56","7","Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people."
"kjv","23","56","8","The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him."
"kjv","23","56","9","All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest."
"kjv","23","56","10","His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber."
"kjv","23","56","11","Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter."
"kjv","23","56","12","Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant."
"kjv","23","57","1","The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come."
"kjv","23","57","2","He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness."
"kjv","23","57","3","But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore."
"kjv","23","57","4","Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,"
"kjv","23","57","5","Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?"
"kjv","23","57","6","Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?"
"kjv","23","57","7","Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice."
"kjv","23","57","8","Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it."
"kjv","23","57","9","And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell."
"kjv","23","57","10","Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved."
"kjv","23","57","11","And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?"
"kjv","23","57","12","I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee."
"kjv","23","57","13","When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;"
"kjv","23","57","14","And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people."
"kjv","23","57","15","For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."
"kjv","23","57","16","For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made."
"kjv","23","57","17","For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart."
"kjv","23","57","18","I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners."
"kjv","23","57","19","I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him."
"kjv","23","57","20","But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt."
"kjv","23","57","21","There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked."
"kjv","23","58","1","Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."
"kjv","23","58","2","Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God."
"kjv","23","58","3","Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours."
"kjv","23","58","4","Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high."
"kjv","23","58","5","Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?"
"kjv","23","58","6","Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"
"kjv","23","58","7","Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"
"kjv","23","58","8","Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward."
"kjv","23","58","9","Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;"
"kjv","23","58","10","And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:"
"kjv","23","58","11","And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."
"kjv","23","58","12","And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."
"kjv","23","58","13","If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:"
"kjv","23","58","14","Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","23","59","1","Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:"
"kjv","23","59","2","But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear."
"kjv","23","59","3","For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness."
"kjv","23","59","4","None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity."
"kjv","23","59","5","They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper."
"kjv","23","59","6","Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands."
"kjv","23","59","7","Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths."
"kjv","23","59","8","The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace."
"kjv","23","59","9","Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness."
"kjv","23","59","10","We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men."
"kjv","23","59","11","We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us."
"kjv","23","59","12","For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;"
"kjv","23","59","13","In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood."
"kjv","23","59","14","And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter."
"kjv","23","59","15","Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment."
"kjv","23","59","16","And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him."
"kjv","23","59","17","For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak."
"kjv","23","59","18","According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense."
"kjv","23","59","19","So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him."
"kjv","23","59","20","And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","59","21","As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever."
"kjv","23","60","1","Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee."
"kjv","23","60","2","For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
"kjv","23","60","3","And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."
"kjv","23","60","4","Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side."
"kjv","23","60","5","Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee."
"kjv","23","60","6","The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD."
"kjv","23","60","7","All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory."
"kjv","23","60","8","Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?"
"kjv","23","60","9","Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee."
"kjv","23","60","10","And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee."
"kjv","23","60","11","Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought."
"kjv","23","60","12","For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted."
"kjv","23","60","13","The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious."
"kjv","23","60","14","The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","23","60","15","Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations."
"kjv","23","60","16","Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."
"kjv","23","60","17","For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness."
"kjv","23","60","18","Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise."
"kjv","23","60","19","The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory."
"kjv","23","60","20","Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."
"kjv","23","60","21","Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified."
"kjv","23","60","22","A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time."
"kjv","23","61","1","The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"
"kjv","23","61","2","To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
"kjv","23","61","3","To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."
"kjv","23","61","4","And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations."
"kjv","23","61","5","And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers."
"kjv","23","61","6","But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves."
"kjv","23","61","7","For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them."
"kjv","23","61","8","For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them."
"kjv","23","61","9","And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed."
"kjv","23","61","10","I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."
"kjv","23","61","11","For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."
"kjv","23","62","1","For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."
"kjv","23","62","2","And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name."
"kjv","23","62","3","Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God."
"kjv","23","62","4","Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married."
"kjv","23","62","5","For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."
"kjv","23","62","6","I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence."
"kjv","23","62","7","And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth."
"kjv","23","62","8","The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:"
"kjv","23","62","9","But they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness."
"kjv","23","62","10","Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people."
"kjv","23","62","11","Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him."
"kjv","23","62","12","And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken."
"kjv","23","63","1","Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
"kjv","23","63","2","Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?"
"kjv","23","63","3","I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment."
"kjv","23","63","4","For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come."
"kjv","23","63","5","And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me."
"kjv","23","63","6","And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth."
"kjv","23","63","7","I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses."
"kjv","23","63","8","For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour."
"kjv","23","63","9","In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old."
"kjv","23","63","10","But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them."
"kjv","23","63","11","Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?"
"kjv","23","63","12","That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?"
"kjv","23","63","13","That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?"
"kjv","23","63","14","As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name."
"kjv","23","63","15","Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?"
"kjv","23","63","16","Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting."
"kjv","23","63","17","O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance."
"kjv","23","63","18","The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary."
"kjv","23","63","19","We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name."
"kjv","23","64","1","Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence."
"kjv","23","64","2","As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!"
"kjv","23","64","3","When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence."
"kjv","23","64","4","For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."
"kjv","23","64","5","Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved."
"kjv","23","64","6","But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
"kjv","23","64","7","And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities."
"kjv","23","64","8","But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."
"kjv","23","64","9","Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people."
"kjv","23","64","10","Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation."
"kjv","23","64","11","Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste."
"kjv","23","64","12","Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?"
"kjv","23","65","1","I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name."
"kjv","23","65","2","I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;"
"kjv","23","65","3","A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;"
"kjv","23","65","4","Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;"
"kjv","23","65","5","Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day."
"kjv","23","65","6","Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,"
"kjv","23","65","7","Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom."
"kjv","23","65","8","Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all."
"kjv","23","65","9","And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there."
"kjv","23","65","10","And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me."
"kjv","23","65","11","But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number."
"kjv","23","65","12","Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not."
"kjv","23","65","13","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:"
"kjv","23","65","14","Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit."
"kjv","23","65","15","And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:"
"kjv","23","65","16","That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes."
"kjv","23","65","17","For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."
"kjv","23","65","18","But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy."
"kjv","23","65","19","And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying."
"kjv","23","65","20","There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed."
"kjv","23","65","21","And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them."
"kjv","23","65","22","They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands."
"kjv","23","65","23","They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them."
"kjv","23","65","24","And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."
"kjv","23","65","25","The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","66","1","Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"
"kjv","23","66","2","For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word."
"kjv","23","66","3","He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations."
"kjv","23","66","4","I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not."
"kjv","23","66","5","Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed."
"kjv","23","66","6","A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies."
"kjv","23","66","7","Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child."
"kjv","23","66","8","Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children."
"kjv","23","66","9","Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God."
"kjv","23","66","10","Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:"
"kjv","23","66","11","That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
"kjv","23","66","12","For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees."
"kjv","23","66","13","As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem."
"kjv","23","66","14","And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies."
"kjv","23","66","15","For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire."
"kjv","23","66","16","For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many."
"kjv","23","66","17","They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","66","18","For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory."
"kjv","23","66","19","And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles."
"kjv","23","66","20","And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD."
"kjv","23","66","21","And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","66","22","For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain."
"kjv","23","66","23","And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","23","66","24","And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."
"kjv","24","1","1","The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:"
"kjv","24","1","2","To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign."
"kjv","24","1","3","It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month."
"kjv","24","1","4","Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","24","1","5","Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
"kjv","24","1","6","Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child."
"kjv","24","1","7","But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak."
"kjv","24","1","8","Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","1","9","Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth."
"kjv","24","1","10","See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."
"kjv","24","1","11","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree."
"kjv","24","1","12","Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it."
"kjv","24","1","13","And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north."
"kjv","24","1","14","Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land."
"kjv","24","1","15","For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah."
"kjv","24","1","16","And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands."
"kjv","24","1","17","Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them."
"kjv","24","1","18","For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land."
"kjv","24","1","19","And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee."
"kjv","24","2","1","Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,"
"kjv","24","2","2","Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown."
"kjv","24","2","3","Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","2","4","Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:"
"kjv","24","2","5","Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?"
"kjv","24","2","6","Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?"
"kjv","24","2","7","And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination."
"kjv","24","2","8","The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit."
"kjv","24","2","9","Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead."
"kjv","24","2","10","For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing."
"kjv","24","2","11","Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit."
"kjv","24","2","12","Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","2","13","For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."
"kjv","24","2","14","Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?"
"kjv","24","2","15","The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant."
"kjv","24","2","16","Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head."
"kjv","24","2","17","Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?"
"kjv","24","2","18","And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?"
"kjv","24","2","19","Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts."
"kjv","24","2","20","For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot."
"kjv","24","2","21","Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?"
"kjv","24","2","22","For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","24","2","23","How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;"
"kjv","24","2","24","A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her."
"kjv","24","2","25","Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go."
"kjv","24","2","26","As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,"
"kjv","24","2","27","Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us."
"kjv","24","2","28","But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah."
"kjv","24","2","29","Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","2","30","In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion."
"kjv","24","2","31","O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?"
"kjv","24","2","32","Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number."
"kjv","24","2","33","Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways."
"kjv","24","2","34","Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these."
"kjv","24","2","35","Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned."
"kjv","24","2","36","Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria."
"kjv","24","2","37","Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them."
"kjv","24","3","1","They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","3","2","Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness."
"kjv","24","3","3","Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed."
"kjv","24","3","4","Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?"
"kjv","24","3","5","Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest."
"kjv","24","3","6","The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot."
"kjv","24","3","7","And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it."
"kjv","24","3","8","And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also."
"kjv","24","3","9","And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks."
"kjv","24","3","10","And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","3","11","And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah."
"kjv","24","3","12","Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever."
"kjv","24","3","13","Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","3","14","Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:"
"kjv","24","3","15","And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
"kjv","24","3","16","And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more."
"kjv","24","3","17","At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart."
"kjv","24","3","18","In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers."
"kjv","24","3","19","But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me."
"kjv","24","3","20","Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","3","21","A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God."
"kjv","24","3","22","Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God."
"kjv","24","3","23","Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel."
"kjv","24","3","24","For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters."
"kjv","24","3","25","We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God."
"kjv","24","4","1","If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove."
"kjv","24","4","2","And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory."
"kjv","24","4","3","For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns."
"kjv","24","4","4","Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."
"kjv","24","4","5","Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities."
"kjv","24","4","6","Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction."
"kjv","24","4","7","The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant."
"kjv","24","4","8","For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us."
"kjv","24","4","9","And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder."
"kjv","24","4","10","Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul."
"kjv","24","4","11","At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,"
"kjv","24","4","12","Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them."
"kjv","24","4","13","Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled."
"kjv","24","4","14","O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?"
"kjv","24","4","15","For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim."
"kjv","24","4","16","Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah."
"kjv","24","4","17","As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","4","18","Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart."
"kjv","24","4","19","My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war."
"kjv","24","4","20","Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment."
"kjv","24","4","21","How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?"
"kjv","24","4","22","For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
"kjv","24","4","23","I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light."
"kjv","24","4","24","I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly."
"kjv","24","4","25","I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled."
"kjv","24","4","26","I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger."
"kjv","24","4","27","For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."
"kjv","24","4","28","For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it."
"kjv","24","4","29","The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein."
"kjv","24","4","30","And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life."
"kjv","24","4","31","For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers."
"kjv","24","5","1","Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it."
"kjv","24","5","2","And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely."
"kjv","24","5","3","O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return."
"kjv","24","5","4","Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God."
"kjv","24","5","5","I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds."
"kjv","24","5","6","Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased."
"kjv","24","5","7","How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses."
"kjv","24","5","8","They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife."
"kjv","24","5","9","Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
"kjv","24","5","10","Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD'S."
"kjv","24","5","11","For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","5","12","They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:"
"kjv","24","5","13","And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them."
"kjv","24","5","14","Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them."
"kjv","24","5","15","Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say."
"kjv","24","5","16","Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men."
"kjv","24","5","17","And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword."
"kjv","24","5","18","Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you."
"kjv","24","5","19","And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours."
"kjv","24","5","20","Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,"
"kjv","24","5","21","Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:"
"kjv","24","5","22","Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?"
"kjv","24","5","23","But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone."
"kjv","24","5","24","Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest."
"kjv","24","5","25","Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you."
"kjv","24","5","26","For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men."
"kjv","24","5","27","As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich."
"kjv","24","5","28","They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge."
"kjv","24","5","29","Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
"kjv","24","5","30","A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;"
"kjv","24","5","31","The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"
"kjv","24","6","1","O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction."
"kjv","24","6","2","I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman."
"kjv","24","6","3","The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place."
"kjv","24","6","4","Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out."
"kjv","24","6","5","Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
"kjv","24","6","6","For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her."
"kjv","24","6","7","As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds."
"kjv","24","6","8","Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited."
"kjv","24","6","9","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets."
"kjv","24","6","10","To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it."
"kjv","24","6","11","Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days."
"kjv","24","6","12","And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","6","13","For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely."
"kjv","24","6","14","They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
"kjv","24","6","15","Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","6","16","Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein."
"kjv","24","6","17","Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken."
"kjv","24","6","18","Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them."
"kjv","24","6","19","Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it."
"kjv","24","6","20","To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me."
"kjv","24","6","21","Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish."
"kjv","24","6","22","Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth."
"kjv","24","6","23","They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion."
"kjv","24","6","24","We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail."
"kjv","24","6","25","Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side."
"kjv","24","6","26","O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us."
"kjv","24","6","27","I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way."
"kjv","24","6","28","They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters."
"kjv","24","6","29","The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away."
"kjv","24","6","30","Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them."
"kjv","24","7","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","7","2","Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD."
"kjv","24","7","3","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place."
"kjv","24","7","4","Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these."
"kjv","24","7","5","For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;"
"kjv","24","7","6","If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:"
"kjv","24","7","7","Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever."
"kjv","24","7","8","Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit."
"kjv","24","7","9","Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;"
"kjv","24","7","10","And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?"
"kjv","24","7","11","Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","7","12","But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel."
"kjv","24","7","13","And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;"
"kjv","24","7","14","Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh."
"kjv","24","7","15","And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim."
"kjv","24","7","16","Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee."
"kjv","24","7","17","Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?"
"kjv","24","7","18","The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger."
"kjv","24","7","19","Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?"
"kjv","24","7","20","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched."
"kjv","24","7","21","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh."
"kjv","24","7","22","For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:"
"kjv","24","7","23","But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you."
"kjv","24","7","24","But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward."
"kjv","24","7","25","Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:"
"kjv","24","7","26","Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers."
"kjv","24","7","27","Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee."
"kjv","24","7","28","But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth."
"kjv","24","7","29","Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath."
"kjv","24","7","30","For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it."
"kjv","24","7","31","And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart."
"kjv","24","7","32","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place."
"kjv","24","7","33","And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away."
"kjv","24","7","34","Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate."
"kjv","24","8","1","At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:"
"kjv","24","8","2","And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth."
"kjv","24","8","3","And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","24","8","4","Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?"
"kjv","24","8","5","Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return."
"kjv","24","8","6","I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle."
"kjv","24","8","7","Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD."
"kjv","24","8","8","How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain."
"kjv","24","8","9","The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?"
"kjv","24","8","10","Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely."
"kjv","24","8","11","For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
"kjv","24","8","12","Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","8","13","I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them."
"kjv","24","8","14","Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD."
"kjv","24","8","15","We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!"
"kjv","24","8","16","The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein."
"kjv","24","8","17","For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","8","18","When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me."
"kjv","24","8","19","Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?"
"kjv","24","8","20","The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved."
"kjv","24","8","21","For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me."
"kjv","24","8","22","Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?"
"kjv","24","9","1","Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!"
"kjv","24","9","2","Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men."
"kjv","24","9","3","And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","9","4","Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders."
"kjv","24","9","5","And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity."
"kjv","24","9","6","Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","9","7","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?"
"kjv","24","9","8","Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait."
"kjv","24","9","9","Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
"kjv","24","9","10","For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone."
"kjv","24","9","11","And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant."
"kjv","24","9","12","Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?"
"kjv","24","9","13","And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;"
"kjv","24","9","14","But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:"
"kjv","24","9","15","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink."
"kjv","24","9","16","I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them."
"kjv","24","9","17","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:"
"kjv","24","9","18","And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters."
"kjv","24","9","19","For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out."
"kjv","24","9","20","Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation."
"kjv","24","9","21","For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets."
"kjv","24","9","22","Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them."
"kjv","24","9","23","Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:"
"kjv","24","9","24","But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","9","25","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;"
"kjv","24","9","26","Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart."
"kjv","24","10","1","Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:"
"kjv","24","10","2","Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them."
"kjv","24","10","3","For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax."
"kjv","24","10","4","They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
"kjv","24","10","5","They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."
"kjv","24","10","6","Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might."
"kjv","24","10","7","Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee."
"kjv","24","10","8","But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities."
"kjv","24","10","9","Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men."
"kjv","24","10","10","But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation."
"kjv","24","10","11","Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens."
"kjv","24","10","12","He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion."
"kjv","24","10","13","When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures."
"kjv","24","10","14","Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them."
"kjv","24","10","15","They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish."
"kjv","24","10","16","The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name."
"kjv","24","10","17","Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress."
"kjv","24","10","18","For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so."
"kjv","24","10","19","Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it."
"kjv","24","10","20","My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains."
"kjv","24","10","21","For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered."
"kjv","24","10","22","Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons."
"kjv","24","10","23","O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps."
"kjv","24","10","24","O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing."
"kjv","24","10","25","Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate."
"kjv","24","11","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","11","2","Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;"
"kjv","24","11","3","And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,"
"kjv","24","11","4","Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:"
"kjv","24","11","5","That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD."
"kjv","24","11","6","Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them."
"kjv","24","11","7","For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice."
"kjv","24","11","8","Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not."
"kjv","24","11","9","And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","11","10","They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers."
"kjv","24","11","11","Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them."
"kjv","24","11","12","Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble."
"kjv","24","11","13","For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal."
"kjv","24","11","14","Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble."
"kjv","24","11","15","What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest."
"kjv","24","11","16","The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken."
"kjv","24","11","17","For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal."
"kjv","24","11","18","And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings."
"kjv","24","11","19","But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered."
"kjv","24","11","20","But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause."
"kjv","24","11","21","Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:"
"kjv","24","11","22","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:"
"kjv","24","11","23","And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation."
"kjv","24","12","1","Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?"
"kjv","24","12","2","Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins."
"kjv","24","12","3","But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter."
"kjv","24","12","4","How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end."
"kjv","24","12","5","If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"
"kjv","24","12","6","For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee."
"kjv","24","12","7","I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies."
"kjv","24","12","8","Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it."
"kjv","24","12","9","Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour."
"kjv","24","12","10","Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness."
"kjv","24","12","11","They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart."
"kjv","24","12","12","The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace."
"kjv","24","12","13","They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD."
"kjv","24","12","14","Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them."
"kjv","24","12","15","And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land."
"kjv","24","12","16","And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people."
"kjv","24","12","17","But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","13","1","Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water."
"kjv","24","13","2","So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins."
"kjv","24","13","3","And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,"
"kjv","24","13","4","Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock."
"kjv","24","13","5","So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me."
"kjv","24","13","6","And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there."
"kjv","24","13","7","Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing."
"kjv","24","13","8","Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","24","13","9","Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","13","10","This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing."
"kjv","24","13","11","For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear."
"kjv","24","13","12","Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?"
"kjv","24","13","13","Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness."
"kjv","24","13","14","And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them."
"kjv","24","13","15","Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken."
"kjv","24","13","16","Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness."
"kjv","24","13","17","But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive."
"kjv","24","13","18","Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory."
"kjv","24","13","19","The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive."
"kjv","24","13","20","Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?"
"kjv","24","13","21","What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?"
"kjv","24","13","22","And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare."
"kjv","24","13","23","Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."
"kjv","24","13","24","Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness."
"kjv","24","13","25","This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood."
"kjv","24","13","26","Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear."
"kjv","24","13","27","I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?"
"kjv","24","14","1","The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth."
"kjv","24","14","2","Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up."
"kjv","24","14","3","And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads."
"kjv","24","14","4","Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads."
"kjv","24","14","5","Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass."
"kjv","24","14","6","And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass."
"kjv","24","14","7","O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee."
"kjv","24","14","8","O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?"
"kjv","24","14","9","Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not."
"kjv","24","14","10","Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins."
"kjv","24","14","11","Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good."
"kjv","24","14","12","When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence."
"kjv","24","14","13","Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place."
"kjv","24","14","14","Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart."
"kjv","24","14","15","Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed."
"kjv","24","14","16","And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them."
"kjv","24","14","17","Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow."
"kjv","24","14","18","If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not."
"kjv","24","14","19","Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!"
"kjv","24","14","20","We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee."
"kjv","24","14","21","Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us."
"kjv","24","14","22","Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things."
"kjv","24","15","1","Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth."
"kjv","24","15","2","And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity."
"kjv","24","15","3","And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy."
"kjv","24","15","4","And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","15","5","For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?"
"kjv","24","15","6","Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting."
"kjv","24","15","7","And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways."
"kjv","24","15","8","Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city."
"kjv","24","15","9","She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","15","10","Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me."
"kjv","24","15","11","The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction."
"kjv","24","15","12","Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?"
"kjv","24","15","13","Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders."
"kjv","24","15","14","And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you."
"kjv","24","15","15","O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke."
"kjv","24","15","16","Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts."
"kjv","24","15","17","I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation."
"kjv","24","15","18","Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?"
"kjv","24","15","19","Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them."
"kjv","24","15","20","And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","15","21","And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible."
"kjv","24","16","1","The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,"
"kjv","24","16","2","Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place."
"kjv","24","16","3","For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;"
"kjv","24","16","4","They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth."
"kjv","24","16","5","For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies."
"kjv","24","16","6","Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:"
"kjv","24","16","7","Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother."
"kjv","24","16","8","Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink."
"kjv","24","16","9","For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride."
"kjv","24","16","10","And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?"
"kjv","24","16","11","Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;"
"kjv","24","16","12","And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:"
"kjv","24","16","13","Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour."
"kjv","24","16","14","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;"
"kjv","24","16","15","But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers."
"kjv","24","16","16","Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks."
"kjv","24","16","17","For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes."
"kjv","24","16","18","And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things."
"kjv","24","16","19","O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit."
"kjv","24","16","20","Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?"
"kjv","24","16","21","Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD."
"kjv","24","17","1","The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;"
"kjv","24","17","2","Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills."
"kjv","24","17","3","O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders."
"kjv","24","17","4","And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever."
"kjv","24","17","5","Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD."
"kjv","24","17","6","For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited."
"kjv","24","17","7","Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."
"kjv","24","17","8","For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
"kjv","24","17","9","The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
"kjv","24","17","10","I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."
"kjv","24","17","11","As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool."
"kjv","24","17","12","A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary."
"kjv","24","17","13","O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters."
"kjv","24","17","14","Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise."
"kjv","24","17","15","Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now."
"kjv","24","17","16","As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee."
"kjv","24","17","17","Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil."
"kjv","24","17","18","Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction."
"kjv","24","17","19","Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;"
"kjv","24","17","20","And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:"
"kjv","24","17","21","Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;"
"kjv","24","17","22","Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers."
"kjv","24","17","23","But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction."
"kjv","24","17","24","And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;"
"kjv","24","17","25","Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever."
"kjv","24","17","26","And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD."
"kjv","24","17","27","But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched."
"kjv","24","18","1","The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","18","2","Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words."
"kjv","24","18","3","Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels."
"kjv","24","18","4","And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it."
"kjv","24","18","5","Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,"
"kjv","24","18","6","O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel."
"kjv","24","18","7","At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;"
"kjv","24","18","8","If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them."
"kjv","24","18","9","And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;"
"kjv","24","18","10","If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them."
"kjv","24","18","11","Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good."
"kjv","24","18","12","And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart."
"kjv","24","18","13","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing."
"kjv","24","18","14","Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?"
"kjv","24","18","15","Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;"
"kjv","24","18","16","To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head."
"kjv","24","18","17","I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity."
"kjv","24","18","18","Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."
"kjv","24","18","19","Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me."
"kjv","24","18","20","Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them."
"kjv","24","18","21","Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle."
"kjv","24","18","22","Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet."
"kjv","24","18","23","Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger."
"kjv","24","19","1","Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;"
"kjv","24","19","2","And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,"
"kjv","24","19","3","And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle."
"kjv","24","19","4","Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;"
"kjv","24","19","5","They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:"
"kjv","24","19","6","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter."
"kjv","24","19","7","And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth."
"kjv","24","19","8","And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof."
"kjv","24","19","9","And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them."
"kjv","24","19","10","Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee."
"kjv","24","19","11","And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury."
"kjv","24","19","12","Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:"
"kjv","24","19","13","And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods."
"kjv","24","19","14","Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people,"
"kjv","24","19","15","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words."
"kjv","24","20","1","Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things."
"kjv","24","20","2","Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD."
"kjv","24","20","3","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib."
"kjv","24","20","4","For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword."
"kjv","24","20","5","Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon."
"kjv","24","20","6","And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies."
"kjv","24","20","7","O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me."
"kjv","24","20","8","For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily."
"kjv","24","20","9","Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay."
"kjv","24","20","10","For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him."
"kjv","24","20","11","But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten."
"kjv","24","20","12","But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause."
"kjv","24","20","13","Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers."
"kjv","24","20","14","Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed."
"kjv","24","20","15","Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad."
"kjv","24","20","16","And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;"
"kjv","24","20","17","Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me."
"kjv","24","20","18","Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?"
"kjv","24","21","1","The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,"
"kjv","24","21","2","Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us."
"kjv","24","21","3","Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:"
"kjv","24","21","4","Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city."
"kjv","24","21","5","And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath."
"kjv","24","21","6","And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence."
"kjv","24","21","7","And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy."
"kjv","24","21","8","And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death."
"kjv","24","21","9","He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey."
"kjv","24","21","10","For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire."
"kjv","24","21","11","And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;"
"kjv","24","21","12","O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."
"kjv","24","21","13","Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?"
"kjv","24","21","14","But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it."
"kjv","24","22","1","Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,"
"kjv","24","22","2","And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:"
"kjv","24","22","3","Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place."
"kjv","24","22","4","For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people."
"kjv","24","22","5","But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation."
"kjv","24","22","6","For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited."
"kjv","24","22","7","And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire."
"kjv","24","22","8","And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?"
"kjv","24","22","9","Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them."
"kjv","24","22","10","Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country."
"kjv","24","22","11","For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:"
"kjv","24","22","12","But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more."
"kjv","24","22","13","Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;"
"kjv","24","22","14","That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion."
"kjv","24","22","15","Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?"
"kjv","24","22","16","He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","22","17","But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it."
"kjv","24","22","18","Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!"
"kjv","24","22","19","He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","22","20","Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed."
"kjv","24","22","21","I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice."
"kjv","24","22","22","The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness."
"kjv","24","22","23","O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!"
"kjv","24","22","24","As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;"
"kjv","24","22","25","And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans."
"kjv","24","22","26","And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die."
"kjv","24","22","27","But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return."
"kjv","24","22","28","Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?"
"kjv","24","22","29","O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD."
"kjv","24","22","30","Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah."
"kjv","24","23","1","Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","2","Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","3","And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase."
"kjv","24","23","4","And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","5","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth."
"kjv","24","23","6","In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
"kjv","24","23","7","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;"
"kjv","24","23","8","But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land."
"kjv","24","23","9","Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness."
"kjv","24","23","10","For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right."
"kjv","24","23","11","For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","12","Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","13","And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err."
"kjv","24","23","14","I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah."
"kjv","24","23","15","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land."
"kjv","24","23","16","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","17","They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you."
"kjv","24","23","18","For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?"
"kjv","24","23","19","Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked."
"kjv","24","23","20","The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly."
"kjv","24","23","21","I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied."
"kjv","24","23","22","But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings."
"kjv","24","23","23","Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?"
"kjv","24","23","24","Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","25","I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed."
"kjv","24","23","26","How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;"
"kjv","24","23","27","Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal."
"kjv","24","23","28","The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","29","Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"
"kjv","24","23","30","Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour."
"kjv","24","23","31","Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith."
"kjv","24","23","32","Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","33","And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","23","34","And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house."
"kjv","24","23","35","Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?"
"kjv","24","23","36","And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God."
"kjv","24","23","37","Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?"
"kjv","24","23","38","But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;"
"kjv","24","23","39","Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:"
"kjv","24","23","40","And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten."
"kjv","24","24","1","The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon."
"kjv","24","24","2","One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad."
"kjv","24","24","3","Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil."
"kjv","24","24","4","Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","24","24","5","Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good."
"kjv","24","24","6","For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up."
"kjv","24","24","7","And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart."
"kjv","24","24","8","And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:"
"kjv","24","24","9","And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them."
"kjv","24","24","10","And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers."
"kjv","24","25","1","The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;"
"kjv","24","25","2","The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,"
"kjv","24","25","3","From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened."
"kjv","24","25","4","And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear."
"kjv","24","25","5","They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:"
"kjv","24","25","6","And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt."
"kjv","24","25","7","Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt."
"kjv","24","25","8","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,"
"kjv","24","25","9","Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations."
"kjv","24","25","10","Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle."
"kjv","24","25","11","And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years."
"kjv","24","25","12","And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations."
"kjv","24","25","13","And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations."
"kjv","24","25","14","For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands."
"kjv","24","25","15","For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it."
"kjv","24","25","16","And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
"kjv","24","25","17","Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:"
"kjv","24","25","18","To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;"
"kjv","24","25","19","Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;"
"kjv","24","25","20","And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,"
"kjv","24","25","21","Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,"
"kjv","24","25","22","And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,"
"kjv","24","25","23","Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,"
"kjv","24","25","24","And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,"
"kjv","24","25","25","And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,"
"kjv","24","25","26","And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them."
"kjv","24","25","27","Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."
"kjv","24","25","28","And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink."
"kjv","24","25","29","For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","24","25","30","Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth."
"kjv","24","25","31","A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","25","32","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth."
"kjv","24","25","33","And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground."
"kjv","24","25","34","Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel."
"kjv","24","25","35","And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape."
"kjv","24","25","36","A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture."
"kjv","24","25","37","And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD."
"kjv","24","25","38","He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."
"kjv","24","26","1","In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","26","2","Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:"
"kjv","24","26","3","If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings."
"kjv","24","26","4","And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,"
"kjv","24","26","5","To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;"
"kjv","24","26","6","Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth."
"kjv","24","26","7","So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","24","26","8","Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die."
"kjv","24","26","9","Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","24","26","10","When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house."
"kjv","24","26","11","Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears."
"kjv","24","26","12","Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard."
"kjv","24","26","13","Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you."
"kjv","24","26","14","As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you."
"kjv","24","26","15","But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears."
"kjv","24","26","16","Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."
"kjv","24","26","17","Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,"
"kjv","24","26","18","Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."
"kjv","24","26","19","Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls."
"kjv","24","26","20","And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:"
"kjv","24","26","21","And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;"
"kjv","24","26","22","And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt."
"kjv","24","26","23","And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people."
"kjv","24","26","24","Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death."
"kjv","24","27","1","In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","27","2","Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,"
"kjv","24","27","3","And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;"
"kjv","24","27","4","And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;"
"kjv","24","27","5","I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me."
"kjv","24","27","6","And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him."
"kjv","24","27","7","And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him."
"kjv","24","27","8","And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand."
"kjv","24","27","9","Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:"
"kjv","24","27","10","For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish."
"kjv","24","27","11","But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein."
"kjv","24","27","12","I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live."
"kjv","24","27","13","Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?"
"kjv","24","27","14","Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you."
"kjv","24","27","15","For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you."
"kjv","24","27","16","Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you."
"kjv","24","27","17","Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?"
"kjv","24","27","18","But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon."
"kjv","24","27","19","For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,"
"kjv","24","27","20","Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;"
"kjv","24","27","21","Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;"
"kjv","24","27","22","They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place."
"kjv","24","28","1","And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,"
"kjv","24","28","2","Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon."
"kjv","24","28","3","Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD'S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:"
"kjv","24","28","4","And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon."
"kjv","24","28","5","Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,"
"kjv","24","28","6","Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD'S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place."
"kjv","24","28","7","Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;"
"kjv","24","28","8","The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence."
"kjv","24","28","9","The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him."
"kjv","24","28","10","Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it."
"kjv","24","28","11","And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way."
"kjv","24","28","12","Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","28","13","Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron."
"kjv","24","28","14","For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also."
"kjv","24","28","15","Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie."
"kjv","24","28","16","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD."
"kjv","24","28","17","So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month."
"kjv","24","29","1","Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;"
"kjv","24","29","2","(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)"
"kjv","24","29","3","By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,"
"kjv","24","29","4","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;"
"kjv","24","29","5","Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;"
"kjv","24","29","6","Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished."
"kjv","24","29","7","And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace."
"kjv","24","29","8","For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed."
"kjv","24","29","9","For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","29","10","For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place."
"kjv","24","29","11","For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
"kjv","24","29","12","Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you."
"kjv","24","29","13","And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
"kjv","24","29","14","And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive."
"kjv","24","29","15","Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;"
"kjv","24","29","16","Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;"
"kjv","24","29","17","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil."
"kjv","24","29","18","And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:"
"kjv","24","29","19","Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","29","20","Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:"
"kjv","24","29","21","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;"
"kjv","24","29","22","And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;"
"kjv","24","29","23","Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","29","24","Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,"
"kjv","24","29","25","Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,"
"kjv","24","29","26","The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks."
"kjv","24","29","27","Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?"
"kjv","24","29","28","For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them."
"kjv","24","29","29","And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet."
"kjv","24","29","30","Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","29","31","Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:"
"kjv","24","29","32","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD."
"kjv","24","30","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","30","2","Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book."
"kjv","24","30","3","For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it."
"kjv","24","30","4","And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah."
"kjv","24","30","5","For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace."
"kjv","24","30","6","Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?"
"kjv","24","30","7","Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it."
"kjv","24","30","8","For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:"
"kjv","24","30","9","But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them."
"kjv","24","30","10","Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid."
"kjv","24","30","11","For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished."
"kjv","24","30","12","For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous."
"kjv","24","30","13","There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines."
"kjv","24","30","14","All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased."
"kjv","24","30","15","Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee."
"kjv","24","30","16","Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey."
"kjv","24","30","17","For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after."
"kjv","24","30","18","Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof."
"kjv","24","30","19","And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small."
"kjv","24","30","20","Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them."
"kjv","24","30","21","And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","30","22","And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
"kjv","24","30","23","Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked."
"kjv","24","30","24","The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it."
"kjv","24","31","1","At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people."
"kjv","24","31","2","Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest."
"kjv","24","31","3","The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
"kjv","24","31","4","Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry."
"kjv","24","31","5","Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things."
"kjv","24","31","6","For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God."
"kjv","24","31","7","For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel."
"kjv","24","31","8","Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither."
"kjv","24","31","9","They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn."
"kjv","24","31","10","Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock."
"kjv","24","31","11","For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he."
"kjv","24","31","12","Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all."
"kjv","24","31","13","Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow."
"kjv","24","31","14","And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","31","15","Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not."
"kjv","24","31","16","Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy."
"kjv","24","31","17","And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border."
"kjv","24","31","18","I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God."
"kjv","24","31","19","Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth."
"kjv","24","31","20","Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","31","21","Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities."
"kjv","24","31","22","How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man."
"kjv","24","31","23","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness."
"kjv","24","31","24","And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks."
"kjv","24","31","25","For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul."
"kjv","24","31","26","Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me."
"kjv","24","31","27","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast."
"kjv","24","31","28","And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","31","29","In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge."
"kjv","24","31","30","But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge."
"kjv","24","31","31","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:"
"kjv","24","31","32","Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:"
"kjv","24","31","33","But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."
"kjv","24","31","34","And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
"kjv","24","31","35","Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:"
"kjv","24","31","36","If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever."
"kjv","24","31","37","Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","31","38","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner."
"kjv","24","31","39","And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath."
"kjv","24","31","40","And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever."
"kjv","24","32","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar."
"kjv","24","32","2","For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house."
"kjv","24","32","3","For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;"
"kjv","24","32","4","And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;"
"kjv","24","32","5","And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper."
"kjv","24","32","6","And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","24","32","7","Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it."
"kjv","24","32","8","So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD."
"kjv","24","32","9","And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver."
"kjv","24","32","10","And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances."
"kjv","24","32","11","So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:"
"kjv","24","32","12","And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison."
"kjv","24","32","13","And I charged Baruch before them, saying,"
"kjv","24","32","14","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days."
"kjv","24","32","15","For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land."
"kjv","24","32","16","Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","32","17","Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:"
"kjv","24","32","18","Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,"
"kjv","24","32","19","Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:"
"kjv","24","32","20","Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;"
"kjv","24","32","21","And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;"
"kjv","24","32","22","And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;"
"kjv","24","32","23","And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:"
"kjv","24","32","24","Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it."
"kjv","24","32","25","And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
"kjv","24","32","26","Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","32","27","Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?"
"kjv","24","32","28","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:"
"kjv","24","32","29","And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger."
"kjv","24","32","30","For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","32","31","For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,"
"kjv","24","32","32","Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","32","33","And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction."
"kjv","24","32","34","But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it."
"kjv","24","32","35","And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin."
"kjv","24","32","36","And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;"
"kjv","24","32","37","Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:"
"kjv","24","32","38","And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:"
"kjv","24","32","39","And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:"
"kjv","24","32","40","And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me."
"kjv","24","32","41","Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul."
"kjv","24","32","42","For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them."
"kjv","24","32","43","And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
"kjv","24","32","44","Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","33","1","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,"
"kjv","24","33","2","Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;"
"kjv","24","33","3","Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
"kjv","24","33","4","For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;"
"kjv","24","33","5","They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city."
"kjv","24","33","6","Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth."
"kjv","24","33","7","And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first."
"kjv","24","33","8","And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me."
"kjv","24","33","9","And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it."
"kjv","24","33","10","Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,"
"kjv","24","33","11","The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","33","12","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down."
"kjv","24","33","13","In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","33","14","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah."
"kjv","24","33","15","In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."
"kjv","24","33","16","In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness."
"kjv","24","33","17","For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;"
"kjv","24","33","18","Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."
"kjv","24","33","19","And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","33","20","Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;"
"kjv","24","33","21","Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers."
"kjv","24","33","22","As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me."
"kjv","24","33","23","Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","33","24","Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them."
"kjv","24","33","25","Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;"
"kjv","24","33","26","Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them."
"kjv","24","34","1","The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,"
"kjv","24","34","2","Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:"
"kjv","24","34","3","And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon."
"kjv","24","34","4","Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:"
"kjv","24","34","5","But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","34","6","Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,"
"kjv","24","34","7","When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah."
"kjv","24","34","8","This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;"
"kjv","24","34","9","That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother."
"kjv","24","34","10","Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go."
"kjv","24","34","11","But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids."
"kjv","24","34","12","Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","34","13","Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,"
"kjv","24","34","14","At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear."
"kjv","24","34","15","And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:"
"kjv","24","34","16","But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids."
"kjv","24","34","17","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth."
"kjv","24","34","18","And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof."
"kjv","24","34","19","The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;"
"kjv","24","34","20","I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth."
"kjv","24","34","21","And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you."
"kjv","24","34","22","Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant."
"kjv","24","35","1","The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,"
"kjv","24","35","2","Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink."
"kjv","24","35","3","Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;"
"kjv","24","35","4","And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:"
"kjv","24","35","5","And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine."
"kjv","24","35","6","But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:"
"kjv","24","35","7","Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers."
"kjv","24","35","8","Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;"
"kjv","24","35","9","Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:"
"kjv","24","35","10","But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us."
"kjv","24","35","11","But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","35","12","Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","35","13","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","35","14","The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me."
"kjv","24","35","15","I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me."
"kjv","24","35","16","Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:"
"kjv","24","35","17","Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered."
"kjv","24","35","18","And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:"
"kjv","24","35","19","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever."
"kjv","24","36","1","And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,"
"kjv","24","36","2","Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day."
"kjv","24","36","3","It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."
"kjv","24","36","4","Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book."
"kjv","24","36","5","And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:"
"kjv","24","36","6","Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities."
"kjv","24","36","7","It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people."
"kjv","24","36","8","And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house."
"kjv","24","36","9","And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","36","10","Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people."
"kjv","24","36","11","When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,"
"kjv","24","36","12","Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes."
"kjv","24","36","13","Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people."
"kjv","24","36","14","Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them."
"kjv","24","36","15","And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears."
"kjv","24","36","16","Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words."
"kjv","24","36","17","And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?"
"kjv","24","36","18","Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book."
"kjv","24","36","19","Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be."
"kjv","24","36","20","And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king."
"kjv","24","36","21","So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king."
"kjv","24","36","22","Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him."
"kjv","24","36","23","And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth."
"kjv","24","36","24","Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words."
"kjv","24","36","25","Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them."
"kjv","24","36","26","But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them."
"kjv","24","36","27","Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","36","28","Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned."
"kjv","24","36","29","And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?"
"kjv","24","36","30","Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost."
"kjv","24","36","31","And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not."
"kjv","24","36","32","Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words."
"kjv","24","37","1","And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah."
"kjv","24","37","2","But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah."
"kjv","24","37","3","And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us."
"kjv","24","37","4","Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison."
"kjv","24","37","5","Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","37","6","Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","37","7","Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land."
"kjv","24","37","8","And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire."
"kjv","24","37","9","Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart."
"kjv","24","37","10","For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire."
"kjv","24","37","11","And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,"
"kjv","24","37","12","Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people."
"kjv","24","37","13","And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans."
"kjv","24","37","14","Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes."
"kjv","24","37","15","Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison."
"kjv","24","37","16","When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;"
"kjv","24","37","17","Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."
"kjv","24","37","18","Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?"
"kjv","24","37","19","Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?"
"kjv","24","37","20","Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there."
"kjv","24","37","21","Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison."
"kjv","24","38","1","Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,"
"kjv","24","38","2","Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live."
"kjv","24","38","3","Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it."
"kjv","24","38","4","Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt."
"kjv","24","38","5","Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you."
"kjv","24","38","6","Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire."
"kjv","24","38","7","Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;"
"kjv","24","38","8","Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,"
"kjv","24","38","9","My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city."
"kjv","24","38","10","Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die."
"kjv","24","38","11","So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah."
"kjv","24","38","12","And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so."
"kjv","24","38","13","So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison."
"kjv","24","38","14","Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me."
"kjv","24","38","15","Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?"
"kjv","24","38","16","So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life."
"kjv","24","38","17","Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:"
"kjv","24","38","18","But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand."
"kjv","24","38","19","And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me."
"kjv","24","38","20","But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live."
"kjv","24","38","21","But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me:"
"kjv","24","38","22","And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back."
"kjv","24","38","23","So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire."
"kjv","24","38","24","Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die."
"kjv","24","38","25","But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:"
"kjv","24","38","26","Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there."
"kjv","24","38","27","Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived."
"kjv","24","38","28","So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken."
"kjv","24","39","1","In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it."
"kjv","24","39","2","And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up."
"kjv","24","39","3","And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon."
"kjv","24","39","4","And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain."
"kjv","24","39","5","But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him."
"kjv","24","39","6","Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah."
"kjv","24","39","7","Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon."
"kjv","24","39","8","And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem."
"kjv","24","39","9","Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained."
"kjv","24","39","10","But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time."
"kjv","24","39","11","Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,"
"kjv","24","39","12","Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee."
"kjv","24","39","13","So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;"
"kjv","24","39","14","Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people."
"kjv","24","39","15","Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,"
"kjv","24","39","16","Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee."
"kjv","24","39","17","But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid."
"kjv","24","39","18","For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","40","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon."
"kjv","24","40","2","And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place."
"kjv","24","40","3","Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you."
"kjv","24","40","4","And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go."
"kjv","24","40","5","Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go."
"kjv","24","40","6","Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land."
"kjv","24","40","7","Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;"
"kjv","24","40","8","Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men."
"kjv","24","40","9","And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you."
"kjv","24","40","10","As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken."
"kjv","24","40","11","Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;"
"kjv","24","40","12","Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much."
"kjv","24","40","13","Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,"
"kjv","24","40","14","And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not."
"kjv","24","40","15","Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?"
"kjv","24","40","16","But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael."
"kjv","24","41","1","Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah."
"kjv","24","41","2","Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land."
"kjv","24","41","3","Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war."
"kjv","24","41","4","And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,"
"kjv","24","41","5","That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD."
"kjv","24","41","6","And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam."
"kjv","24","41","7","And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him."
"kjv","24","41","8","But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren."
"kjv","24","41","9","Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain."
"kjv","24","41","10","Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites."
"kjv","24","41","11","But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,"
"kjv","24","41","12","Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon."
"kjv","24","41","13","Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad."
"kjv","24","41","14","So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah."
"kjv","24","41","15","But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites."
"kjv","24","41","16","Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:"
"kjv","24","41","17","And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,"
"kjv","24","41","18","Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land."
"kjv","24","42","1","Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,"
"kjv","24","42","2","And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)"
"kjv","24","42","3","That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do."
"kjv","24","42","4","Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you."
"kjv","24","42","5","Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us."
"kjv","24","42","6","Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God."
"kjv","24","42","7","And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah."
"kjv","24","42","8","Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,"
"kjv","24","42","9","And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;"
"kjv","24","42","10","If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you."
"kjv","24","42","11","Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand."
"kjv","24","42","12","And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land."
"kjv","24","42","13","But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,"
"kjv","24","42","14","Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:"
"kjv","24","42","15","And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;"
"kjv","24","42","16","Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die."
"kjv","24","42","17","So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them."
"kjv","24","42","18","For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more."
"kjv","24","42","19","The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day."
"kjv","24","42","20","For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it."
"kjv","24","42","21","And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you."
"kjv","24","42","22","Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn."
"kjv","24","43","1","And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,"
"kjv","24","43","2","Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:"
"kjv","24","43","3","But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon."
"kjv","24","43","4","So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah."
"kjv","24","43","5","But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;"
"kjv","24","43","6","Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah."
"kjv","24","43","7","So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes."
"kjv","24","43","8","Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,"
"kjv","24","43","9","Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;"
"kjv","24","43","10","And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them."
"kjv","24","43","11","And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword."
"kjv","24","43","12","And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace."
"kjv","24","43","13","He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire."
"kjv","24","44","1","The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,"
"kjv","24","44","2","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,"
"kjv","24","44","3","Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers."
"kjv","24","44","4","Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate."
"kjv","24","44","5","But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods."
"kjv","24","44","6","Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day."
"kjv","24","44","7","Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;"
"kjv","24","44","8","In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?"
"kjv","24","44","9","Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?"
"kjv","24","44","10","They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers."
"kjv","24","44","11","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah."
"kjv","24","44","12","And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach."
"kjv","24","44","13","For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:"
"kjv","24","44","14","So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape."
"kjv","24","44","15","Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,"
"kjv","24","44","16","As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee."
"kjv","24","44","17","But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil."
"kjv","24","44","18","But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine."
"kjv","24","44","19","And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?"
"kjv","24","44","20","Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,"
"kjv","24","44","21","The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?"
"kjv","24","44","22","So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day."
"kjv","24","44","23","Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day."
"kjv","24","44","24","Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:"
"kjv","24","44","25","Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows."
"kjv","24","44","26","Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth."
"kjv","24","44","27","Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them."
"kjv","24","44","28","Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs."
"kjv","24","44","29","And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:"
"kjv","24","44","30","Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life."
"kjv","24","45","1","The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,"
"kjv","24","45","2","Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;"
"kjv","24","45","3","Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest."
"kjv","24","45","4","Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land."
"kjv","24","45","5","And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest."
"kjv","24","46","1","The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;"
"kjv","24","46","2","Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah."
"kjv","24","46","3","Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle."
"kjv","24","46","4","Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines."
"kjv","24","46","5","Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","46","6","Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates."
"kjv","24","46","7","Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?"
"kjv","24","46","8","Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof."
"kjv","24","46","9","Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow."
"kjv","24","46","10","For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates."
"kjv","24","46","11","Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured."
"kjv","24","46","12","The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together."
"kjv","24","46","13","The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt."
"kjv","24","46","14","Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee."
"kjv","24","46","15","Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them."
"kjv","24","46","16","He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword."
"kjv","24","46","17","They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed."
"kjv","24","46","18","As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come."
"kjv","24","46","19","O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant."
"kjv","24","46","20","Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north."
"kjv","24","46","21","Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation."
"kjv","24","46","22","The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood."
"kjv","24","46","23","They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable."
"kjv","24","46","24","The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north."
"kjv","24","46","25","The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:"
"kjv","24","46","26","And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","46","27","But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid."
"kjv","24","46","28","Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished."
"kjv","24","47","1","The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza."
"kjv","24","47","2","Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl."
"kjv","24","47","3","At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;"
"kjv","24","47","4","Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor."
"kjv","24","47","5","Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?"
"kjv","24","47","6","O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still."
"kjv","24","47","7","How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it."
"kjv","24","48","1","Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed."
"kjv","24","48","2","There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee."
"kjv","24","48","3","A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction."
"kjv","24","48","4","Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard."
"kjv","24","48","5","For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction."
"kjv","24","48","6","Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness."
"kjv","24","48","7","For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together."
"kjv","24","48","8","And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken."
"kjv","24","48","9","Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein."
"kjv","24","48","10","Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood."
"kjv","24","48","11","Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed."
"kjv","24","48","12","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles."
"kjv","24","48","13","And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence."
"kjv","24","48","14","How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?"
"kjv","24","48","15","Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","24","48","16","The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast."
"kjv","24","48","17","All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!"
"kjv","24","48","18","Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds."
"kjv","24","48","19","O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?"
"kjv","24","48","20","Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,"
"kjv","24","48","21","And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,"
"kjv","24","48","22","And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,"
"kjv","24","48","23","And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,"
"kjv","24","48","24","And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near."
"kjv","24","48","25","The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","48","26","Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision."
"kjv","24","48","27","For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy."
"kjv","24","48","28","O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth."
"kjv","24","48","29","We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart."
"kjv","24","48","30","I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it."
"kjv","24","48","31","Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres."
"kjv","24","48","32","O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage."
"kjv","24","48","33","And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting."
"kjv","24","48","34","From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate."
"kjv","24","48","35","Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods."
"kjv","24","48","36","Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished."
"kjv","24","48","37","For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth."
"kjv","24","48","38","There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","48","39","They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him."
"kjv","24","48","40","For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab."
"kjv","24","48","41","Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
"kjv","24","48","42","And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD."
"kjv","24","48","43","Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","48","44","He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","48","45","They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones."
"kjv","24","48","46","Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives."
"kjv","24","48","47","Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
"kjv","24","49","1","Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?"
"kjv","24","49","2","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","49","3","Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together."
"kjv","24","49","4","Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?"
"kjv","24","49","5","Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth."
"kjv","24","49","6","And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","49","7","Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?"
"kjv","24","49","8","Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him."
"kjv","24","49","9","If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough."
"kjv","24","49","10","But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not."
"kjv","24","49","11","Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me."
"kjv","24","49","12","For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it."
"kjv","24","49","13","For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes."
"kjv","24","49","14","I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle."
"kjv","24","49","15","For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men."
"kjv","24","49","16","Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","49","17","Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof."
"kjv","24","49","18","As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it."
"kjv","24","49","19","Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?"
"kjv","24","49","20","Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them."
"kjv","24","49","21","The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea."
"kjv","24","49","22","Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
"kjv","24","49","23","Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet."
"kjv","24","49","24","Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail."
"kjv","24","49","25","How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!"
"kjv","24","49","26","Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","24","49","27","And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad."
"kjv","24","49","28","Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east."
"kjv","24","49","29","Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side."
"kjv","24","49","30","Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you."
"kjv","24","49","31","Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone."
"kjv","24","49","32","And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","49","33","And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it."
"kjv","24","49","34","The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,"
"kjv","24","49","35","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might."
"kjv","24","49","36","And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come."
"kjv","24","49","37","For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:"
"kjv","24","49","38","And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","49","39","But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","50","1","The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet."
"kjv","24","50","2","Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces."
"kjv","24","50","3","For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast."
"kjv","24","50","4","In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God."
"kjv","24","50","5","They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten."
"kjv","24","50","6","My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace."
"kjv","24","50","7","All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers."
"kjv","24","50","8","Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks."
"kjv","24","50","9","For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain."
"kjv","24","50","10","And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","50","11","Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;"
"kjv","24","50","12","Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."
"kjv","24","50","13","Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues."
"kjv","24","50","14","Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD."
"kjv","24","50","15","Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her."
"kjv","24","50","16","Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land."
"kjv","24","50","17","Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones."
"kjv","24","50","18","Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria."
"kjv","24","50","19","And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead."
"kjv","24","50","20","In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve."
"kjv","24","50","21","Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee."
"kjv","24","50","22","A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction."
"kjv","24","50","23","How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!"
"kjv","24","50","24","I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD."
"kjv","24","50","25","The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans."
"kjv","24","50","26","Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left."
"kjv","24","50","27","Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation."
"kjv","24","50","28","The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple."
"kjv","24","50","29","Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","24","50","30","Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","50","31","Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee."
"kjv","24","50","32","And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him."
"kjv","24","50","33","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go."
"kjv","24","50","34","Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon."
"kjv","24","50","35","A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men."
"kjv","24","50","36","A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed."
"kjv","24","50","37","A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed."
"kjv","24","50","38","A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols."
"kjv","24","50","39","Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation."
"kjv","24","50","40","As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein."
"kjv","24","50","41","Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth."
"kjv","24","50","42","They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon."
"kjv","24","50","43","The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail."
"kjv","24","50","44","Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?"
"kjv","24","50","45","Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them."
"kjv","24","50","46","At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations."
"kjv","24","51","1","Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;"
"kjv","24","51","2","And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about."
"kjv","24","51","3","Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host."
"kjv","24","51","4","Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets."
"kjv","24","51","5","For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel."
"kjv","24","51","6","Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense."
"kjv","24","51","7","Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad."
"kjv","24","51","8","Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed."
"kjv","24","51","9","We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies."
"kjv","24","51","10","The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God."
"kjv","24","51","11","Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple."
"kjv","24","51","12","Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon."
"kjv","24","51","13","O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness."
"kjv","24","51","14","The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up a shout against thee."
"kjv","24","51","15","He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding."
"kjv","24","51","16","When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures."
"kjv","24","51","17","Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them."
"kjv","24","51","18","They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish."
"kjv","24","51","19","The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name."
"kjv","24","51","20","Thou art my battle ax and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;"
"kjv","24","51","21","And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;"
"kjv","24","51","22","With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;"
"kjv","24","51","23","I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers."
"kjv","24","51","24","And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","51","25","Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain."
"kjv","24","51","26","And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","51","27","Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars."
"kjv","24","51","28","Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion."
"kjv","24","51","29","And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant."
"kjv","24","51","30","The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken."
"kjv","24","51","31","One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,"
"kjv","24","51","32","And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted."
"kjv","24","51","33","For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come."
"kjv","24","51","34","Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out."
"kjv","24","51","35","The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say."
"kjv","24","51","36","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry."
"kjv","24","51","37","And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant."
"kjv","24","51","38","They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps."
"kjv","24","51","39","In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","51","40","I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats."
"kjv","24","51","41","How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!"
"kjv","24","51","42","The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof."
"kjv","24","51","43","Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby."
"kjv","24","51","44","And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall."
"kjv","24","51","45","My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD."
"kjv","24","51","46","And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler."
"kjv","24","51","47","Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her."
"kjv","24","51","48","Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","51","49","As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth."
"kjv","24","51","50","Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind."
"kjv","24","51","51","We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house."
"kjv","24","51","52","Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan."
"kjv","24","51","53","Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD."
"kjv","24","51","54","A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:"
"kjv","24","51","55","Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:"
"kjv","24","51","56","Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite."
"kjv","24","51","57","And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","24","51","58","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary."
"kjv","24","51","59","The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince."
"kjv","24","51","60","So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon."
"kjv","24","51","61","And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;"
"kjv","24","51","62","Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever."
"kjv","24","51","63","And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:"
"kjv","24","51","64","And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah."
"kjv","24","52","1","Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah."
"kjv","24","52","2","And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done."
"kjv","24","52","3","For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon."
"kjv","24","52","4","And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about."
"kjv","24","52","5","So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah."
"kjv","24","52","6","And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land."
"kjv","24","52","7","Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain."
"kjv","24","52","8","But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him."
"kjv","24","52","9","Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him."
"kjv","24","52","10","And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah."
"kjv","24","52","11","Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death."
"kjv","24","52","12","Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,"
"kjv","24","52","13","And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:"
"kjv","24","52","14","And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about."
"kjv","24","52","15","Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude."
"kjv","24","52","16","But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen."
"kjv","24","52","17","Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon."
"kjv","24","52","18","The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away."
"kjv","24","52","19","And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away."
"kjv","24","52","20","The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight."
"kjv","24","52","21","And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow."
"kjv","24","52","22","And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these."
"kjv","24","52","23","And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about."
"kjv","24","52","24","And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:"
"kjv","24","52","25","He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city."
"kjv","24","52","26","So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah."
"kjv","24","52","27","And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land."
"kjv","24","52","28","This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:"
"kjv","24","52","29","In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:"
"kjv","24","52","30","In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred."
"kjv","24","52","31","And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,"
"kjv","24","52","32","And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,"
"kjv","24","52","33","And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life."
"kjv","24","52","34","And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life."
"kjv","25","1","1","How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!"
"kjv","25","1","2","She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies."
"kjv","25","1","3","Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits."
"kjv","25","1","4","The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness."
"kjv","25","1","5","Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy."
"kjv","25","1","6","And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer."
"kjv","25","1","7","Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths."
"kjv","25","1","8","Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward."
"kjv","25","1","9","Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself."
"kjv","25","1","10","The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation."
"kjv","25","1","11","All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile."
"kjv","25","1","12","Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger."
"kjv","25","1","13","From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day."
"kjv","25","1","14","The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up."
"kjv","25","1","15","The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress."
"kjv","25","1","16","For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed."
"kjv","25","1","17","Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them."
"kjv","25","1","18","The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity."
"kjv","25","1","19","I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls."
"kjv","25","1","20","Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death."
"kjv","25","1","21","They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me."
"kjv","25","1","22","Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint."
"kjv","25","2","1","How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!"
"kjv","25","2","2","The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof."
"kjv","25","2","3","He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about."
"kjv","25","2","4","He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire."
"kjv","25","2","5","The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation."
"kjv","25","2","6","And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest."
"kjv","25","2","7","The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast."
"kjv","25","2","8","The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together."
"kjv","25","2","9","Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD."
"kjv","25","2","10","The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground."
"kjv","25","2","11","Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city."
"kjv","25","2","12","They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom."
"kjv","25","2","13","What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?"
"kjv","25","2","14","Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment."
"kjv","25","2","15","All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?"
"kjv","25","2","16","All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it."
"kjv","25","2","17","The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries."
"kjv","25","2","18","Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease."
"kjv","25","2","19","Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street."
"kjv","25","2","20","Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?"
"kjv","25","2","21","The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied."
"kjv","25","2","22","Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed."
"kjv","25","3","1","I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath."
"kjv","25","3","2","He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light."
"kjv","25","3","3","Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day."
"kjv","25","3","4","My flesh and my skin hath he made old: he hath broken my bones."
"kjv","25","3","5","He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail."
"kjv","25","3","6","He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old."
"kjv","25","3","7","He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy."
"kjv","25","3","8","Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer."
"kjv","25","3","9","He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked."
"kjv","25","3","10","He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places."
"kjv","25","3","11","He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate."
"kjv","25","3","12","He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow."
"kjv","25","3","13","He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins."
"kjv","25","3","14","I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day."
"kjv","25","3","15","He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood."
"kjv","25","3","16","He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes."
"kjv","25","3","17","And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity."
"kjv","25","3","18","And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:"
"kjv","25","3","19","Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall."
"kjv","25","3","20","My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me."
"kjv","25","3","21","This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope."
"kjv","25","3","22","It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not."
"kjv","25","3","23","They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."
"kjv","25","3","24","The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him."
"kjv","25","3","25","The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him."
"kjv","25","3","26","It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD."
"kjv","25","3","27","It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth."
"kjv","25","3","28","He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him."
"kjv","25","3","29","He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope."
"kjv","25","3","30","He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach."
"kjv","25","3","31","For the Lord will not cast off for ever:"
"kjv","25","3","32","But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies."
"kjv","25","3","33","For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men."
"kjv","25","3","34","To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,"
"kjv","25","3","35","To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,"
"kjv","25","3","36","To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not."
"kjv","25","3","37","Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?"
"kjv","25","3","38","Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?"
"kjv","25","3","39","Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?"
"kjv","25","3","40","Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD."
"kjv","25","3","41","Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens."
"kjv","25","3","42","We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned."
"kjv","25","3","43","Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied."
"kjv","25","3","44","Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through."
"kjv","25","3","45","Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people."
"kjv","25","3","46","All our enemies have opened their mouths against us."
"kjv","25","3","47","Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction."
"kjv","25","3","48","Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people."
"kjv","25","3","49","Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,"
"kjv","25","3","50","Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven."
"kjv","25","3","51","Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city."
"kjv","25","3","52","Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause."
"kjv","25","3","53","They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me."
"kjv","25","3","54","Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off."
"kjv","25","3","55","I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon."
"kjv","25","3","56","Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry."
"kjv","25","3","57","Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not."
"kjv","25","3","58","O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life."
"kjv","25","3","59","O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause."
"kjv","25","3","60","Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me."
"kjv","25","3","61","Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;"
"kjv","25","3","62","The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day."
"kjv","25","3","63","Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their music."
"kjv","25","3","64","Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to the work of their hands."
"kjv","25","3","65","Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them."
"kjv","25","3","66","Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD."
"kjv","25","4","1","How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street."
"kjv","25","4","2","The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!"
"kjv","25","4","3","Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness."
"kjv","25","4","4","The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them."
"kjv","25","4","5","They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills."
"kjv","25","4","6","For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her."
"kjv","25","4","7","Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:"
"kjv","25","4","8","Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick."
"kjv","25","4","9","They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field."
"kjv","25","4","10","The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people."
"kjv","25","4","11","The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof."
"kjv","25","4","12","The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem."
"kjv","25","4","13","For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,"
"kjv","25","4","14","They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments."
"kjv","25","4","15","They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there."
"kjv","25","4","16","The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders."
"kjv","25","4","17","As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us."
"kjv","25","4","18","They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come."
"kjv","25","4","19","Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness."
"kjv","25","4","20","The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen."
"kjv","25","4","21","Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked."
"kjv","25","4","22","The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins."
"kjv","25","5","1","Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach."
"kjv","25","5","2","Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens."
"kjv","25","5","3","We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows."
"kjv","25","5","4","We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us."
"kjv","25","5","5","Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest."
"kjv","25","5","6","We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread."
"kjv","25","5","7","Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities."
"kjv","25","5","8","Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand."
"kjv","25","5","9","We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness."
"kjv","25","5","10","Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine."
"kjv","25","5","11","They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah."
"kjv","25","5","12","Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured."
"kjv","25","5","13","They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood."
"kjv","25","5","14","The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music."
"kjv","25","5","15","The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning."
"kjv","25","5","16","The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!"
"kjv","25","5","17","For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim."
"kjv","25","5","18","Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it."
"kjv","25","5","19","Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation."
"kjv","25","5","20","Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?"
"kjv","25","5","21","Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old."
"kjv","25","5","22","But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us."
"kjv","26","1","1","Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
"kjv","26","1","2","In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,"
"kjv","26","1","3","The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him."
"kjv","26","1","4","And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire."
"kjv","26","1","5","Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man."
"kjv","26","1","6","And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings."
"kjv","26","1","7","And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass."
"kjv","26","1","8","And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings."
"kjv","26","1","9","Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward."
"kjv","26","1","10","As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle."
"kjv","26","1","11","Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies."
"kjv","26","1","12","And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went."
"kjv","26","1","13","As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning."
"kjv","26","1","14","And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning."
"kjv","26","1","15","Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces."
"kjv","26","1","16","The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."
"kjv","26","1","17","When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went."
"kjv","26","1","18","As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four."
"kjv","26","1","19","And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up."
"kjv","26","1","20","Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."
"kjv","26","1","21","When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."
"kjv","26","1","22","And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above."
"kjv","26","1","23","And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies."
"kjv","26","1","24","And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings."
"kjv","26","1","25","And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings."
"kjv","26","1","26","And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it."
"kjv","26","1","27","And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about."
"kjv","26","1","28","As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake."
"kjv","26","2","1","And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee."
"kjv","26","2","2","And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me."
"kjv","26","2","3","And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day."
"kjv","26","2","4","For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","2","5","And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them."
"kjv","26","2","6","And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house."
"kjv","26","2","7","And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious."
"kjv","26","2","8","But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee."
"kjv","26","2","9","And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;"
"kjv","26","2","10","And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe."
"kjv","26","3","1","Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","3","2","So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll."
"kjv","26","3","3","And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness."
"kjv","26","3","4","And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them."
"kjv","26","3","5","For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;"
"kjv","26","3","6","Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee."
"kjv","26","3","7","But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted."
"kjv","26","3","8","Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads."
"kjv","26","3","9","As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house."
"kjv","26","3","10","Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears."
"kjv","26","3","11","And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear."
"kjv","26","3","12","Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place."
"kjv","26","3","13","I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing."
"kjv","26","3","14","So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me."
"kjv","26","3","15","Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days."
"kjv","26","3","16","And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","3","17","Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me."
"kjv","26","3","18","When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
"kjv","26","3","19","Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."
"kjv","26","3","20","Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
"kjv","26","3","21","Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul."
"kjv","26","3","22","And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee."
"kjv","26","3","23","Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face."
"kjv","26","3","24","Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house."
"kjv","26","3","25","But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:"
"kjv","26","3","26","And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house."
"kjv","26","3","27","But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house."
"kjv","26","4","1","Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:"
"kjv","26","4","2","And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about."
"kjv","26","4","3","Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","4","4","Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity."
"kjv","26","4","5","For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","4","6","And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."
"kjv","26","4","7","Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it."
"kjv","26","4","8","And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege."
"kjv","26","4","9","Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof."
"kjv","26","4","10","And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it."
"kjv","26","4","11","Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink."
"kjv","26","4","12","And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight."
"kjv","26","4","13","And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them."
"kjv","26","4","14","Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."
"kjv","26","4","15","Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith."
"kjv","26","4","16","Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:"
"kjv","26","4","17","That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity."
"kjv","26","5","1","And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair."
"kjv","26","5","2","Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them."
"kjv","26","5","3","Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts."
"kjv","26","5","4","Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","5","5","Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her."
"kjv","26","5","6","And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them."
"kjv","26","5","7","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;"
"kjv","26","5","8","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations."
"kjv","26","5","9","And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations."
"kjv","26","5","10","Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds."
"kjv","26","5","11","Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity."
"kjv","26","5","12","A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them."
"kjv","26","5","13","Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them."
"kjv","26","5","14","Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by."
"kjv","26","5","15","So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it."
"kjv","26","5","16","When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:"
"kjv","26","5","17","So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it."
"kjv","26","6","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","6","2","Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,"
"kjv","26","6","3","And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places."
"kjv","26","6","4","And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols."
"kjv","26","6","5","And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars."
"kjv","26","6","6","In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished."
"kjv","26","6","7","And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","6","8","Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries."
"kjv","26","6","9","And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations."
"kjv","26","6","10","And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them."
"kjv","26","6","11","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence."
"kjv","26","6","12","He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them."
"kjv","26","6","13","Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols."
"kjv","26","6","14","So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","7","1","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","7","2","Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land."
"kjv","26","7","3","Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations."
"kjv","26","7","4","And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","7","5","Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come."
"kjv","26","7","6","An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come."
"kjv","26","7","7","The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains."
"kjv","26","7","8","Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations."
"kjv","26","7","9","And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth."
"kjv","26","7","10","Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded."
"kjv","26","7","11","Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them."
"kjv","26","7","12","The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof."
"kjv","26","7","13","For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life."
"kjv","26","7","14","They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof."
"kjv","26","7","15","The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him."
"kjv","26","7","16","But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity."
"kjv","26","7","17","All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water."
"kjv","26","7","18","They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads."
"kjv","26","7","19","They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity."
"kjv","26","7","20","As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them."
"kjv","26","7","21","And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it."
"kjv","26","7","22","My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it."
"kjv","26","7","23","Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence."
"kjv","26","7","24","Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled."
"kjv","26","7","25","Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none."
"kjv","26","7","26","Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients."
"kjv","26","7","27","The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","8","1","And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me."
"kjv","26","8","2","Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber."
"kjv","26","8","3","And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy."
"kjv","26","8","4","And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain."
"kjv","26","8","5","Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry."
"kjv","26","8","6","He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations."
"kjv","26","8","7","And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall."
"kjv","26","8","8","Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door."
"kjv","26","8","9","And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here."
"kjv","26","8","10","So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about."
"kjv","26","8","11","And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up."
"kjv","26","8","12","Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth."
"kjv","26","8","13","He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do."
"kjv","26","8","14","Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz."
"kjv","26","8","15","Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these."
"kjv","26","8","16","And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east."
"kjv","26","8","17","Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose."
"kjv","26","8","18","Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
"kjv","26","9","1","He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand."
"kjv","26","9","2","And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar."
"kjv","26","9","3","And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;"
"kjv","26","9","4","And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof."
"kjv","26","9","5","And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:"
"kjv","26","9","6","Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house."
"kjv","26","9","7","And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city."
"kjv","26","9","8","And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?"
"kjv","26","9","9","Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not."
"kjv","26","9","10","And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head."
"kjv","26","9","11","And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me."
"kjv","26","10","1","Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne."
"kjv","26","10","2","And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight."
"kjv","26","10","3","Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court."
"kjv","26","10","4","Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory."
"kjv","26","10","5","And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh."
"kjv","26","10","6","And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels."
"kjv","26","10","7","And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out."
"kjv","26","10","8","And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings."
"kjv","26","10","9","And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone."
"kjv","26","10","10","And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel."
"kjv","26","10","11","When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went."
"kjv","26","10","12","And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had."
"kjv","26","10","13","As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel."
"kjv","26","10","14","And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle."
"kjv","26","10","15","And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar."
"kjv","26","10","16","And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them."
"kjv","26","10","17","When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them."
"kjv","26","10","18","Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims."
"kjv","26","10","19","And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."
"kjv","26","10","20","This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims."
"kjv","26","10","21","Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings."
"kjv","26","10","22","And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward."
"kjv","26","11","1","Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people."
"kjv","26","11","2","Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:"
"kjv","26","11","3","Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh."
"kjv","26","11","4","Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."
"kjv","26","11","5","And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them."
"kjv","26","11","6","Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain."
"kjv","26","11","7","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it."
"kjv","26","11","8","Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","11","9","And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you."
"kjv","26","11","10","Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","11","11","This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:"
"kjv","26","11","12","And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you."
"kjv","26","11","13","And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
"kjv","26","11","14","Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","11","15","Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession."
"kjv","26","11","16","Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come."
"kjv","26","11","17","Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."
"kjv","26","11","18","And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence."
"kjv","26","11","19","And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:"
"kjv","26","11","20","That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God."
"kjv","26","11","21","But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","11","22","Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."
"kjv","26","11","23","And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city."
"kjv","26","11","24","Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me."
"kjv","26","11","25","Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me."
"kjv","26","12","1","The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","12","2","Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house."
"kjv","26","12","3","Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house."
"kjv","26","12","4","Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity."
"kjv","26","12","5","Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby."
"kjv","26","12","6","In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","12","7","And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight."
"kjv","26","12","8","And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","12","9","Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?"
"kjv","26","12","10","Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them."
"kjv","26","12","11","Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity."
"kjv","26","12","12","And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes."
"kjv","26","12","13","My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there."
"kjv","26","12","14","And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them."
"kjv","26","12","15","And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries."
"kjv","26","12","16","But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","12","17","Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,"
"kjv","26","12","18","Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;"
"kjv","26","12","19","And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein."
"kjv","26","12","20","And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","12","21","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","12","22","Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?"
"kjv","26","12","23","Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision."
"kjv","26","12","24","For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","12","25","For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","12","26","Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,"
"kjv","26","12","27","Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off."
"kjv","26","12","28","Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","13","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","13","2","Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;"
"kjv","26","13","3","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!"
"kjv","26","13","4","O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts."
"kjv","26","13","5","Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD."
"kjv","26","13","6","They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word."
"kjv","26","13","7","Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?"
"kjv","26","13","8","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","13","9","And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","13","10","Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar:"
"kjv","26","13","11","Say unto them which daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it."
"kjv","26","13","12","Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?"
"kjv","26","13","13","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it."
"kjv","26","13","14","So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","13","15","Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;"
"kjv","26","13","16","To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","13","17","Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,"
"kjv","26","13","18","And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?"
"kjv","26","13","19","And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?"
"kjv","26","13","20","Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly."
"kjv","26","13","21","Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","13","22","Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:"
"kjv","26","13","23","Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","14","1","Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me."
"kjv","26","14","2","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","14","3","Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?"
"kjv","26","14","4","Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;"
"kjv","26","14","5","That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols."
"kjv","26","14","6","Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations."
"kjv","26","14","7","For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:"
"kjv","26","14","8","And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","14","9","And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel."
"kjv","26","14","10","And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;"
"kjv","26","14","11","That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","14","12","The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,"
"kjv","26","14","13","Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:"
"kjv","26","14","14","Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","14","15","If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:"
"kjv","26","14","16","Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate."
"kjv","26","14","17","Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:"
"kjv","26","14","18","Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves."
"kjv","26","14","19","Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:"
"kjv","26","14","20","Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness."
"kjv","26","14","21","For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?"
"kjv","26","14","22","Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it."
"kjv","26","14","23","And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","15","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","15","2","Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?"
"kjv","26","15","3","Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?"
"kjv","26","15","4","Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?"
"kjv","26","15","5","Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?"
"kjv","26","15","6","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"kjv","26","15","7","And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them."
"kjv","26","15","8","And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","16","1","Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","16","2","Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,"
"kjv","26","16","3","And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite."
"kjv","26","16","4","And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all."
"kjv","26","16","5","None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born."
"kjv","26","16","6","And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live."
"kjv","26","16","7","I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare."
"kjv","26","16","8","Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine."
"kjv","26","16","9","Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil."
"kjv","26","16","10","I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk."
"kjv","26","16","11","I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck."
"kjv","26","16","12","And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head."
"kjv","26","16","13","Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom."
"kjv","26","16","14","And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","16","15","But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was."
"kjv","26","16","16","And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so."
"kjv","26","16","17","Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,"
"kjv","26","16","18","And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them."
"kjv","26","16","19","My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","16","20","Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,"
"kjv","26","16","21","That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?"
"kjv","26","16","22","And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood."
"kjv","26","16","23","And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)"
"kjv","26","16","24","That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street."
"kjv","26","16","25","Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms."
"kjv","26","16","26","Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger."
"kjv","26","16","27","Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way."
"kjv","26","16","28","Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied."
"kjv","26","16","29","Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith."
"kjv","26","16","30","How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;"
"kjv","26","16","31","In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;"
"kjv","26","16","32","But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!"
"kjv","26","16","33","They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom."
"kjv","26","16","34","And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary."
"kjv","26","16","35","Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:"
"kjv","26","16","36","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;"
"kjv","26","16","37","Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness."
"kjv","26","16","38","And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy."
"kjv","26","16","39","And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare."
"kjv","26","16","40","They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords."
"kjv","26","16","41","And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more."
"kjv","26","16","42","So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry."
"kjv","26","16","43","Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations."
"kjv","26","16","44","Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter."
"kjv","26","16","45","Thou art thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite."
"kjv","26","16","46","And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters."
"kjv","26","16","47","Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways."
"kjv","26","16","48","As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters."
"kjv","26","16","49","Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
"kjv","26","16","50","And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good."
"kjv","26","16","51","Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done."
"kjv","26","16","52","Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters."
"kjv","26","16","53","When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:"
"kjv","26","16","54","That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them."
"kjv","26","16","55","When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate."
"kjv","26","16","56","For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,"
"kjv","26","16","57","Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about."
"kjv","26","16","58","Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD."
"kjv","26","16","59","For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant."
"kjv","26","16","60","Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant."
"kjv","26","16","61","Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant."
"kjv","26","16","62","And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:"
"kjv","26","16","63","That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","17","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","17","2","Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;"
"kjv","26","17","3","And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:"
"kjv","26","17","4","He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants."
"kjv","26","17","5","He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree."
"kjv","26","17","6","And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs."
"kjv","26","17","7","There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation."
"kjv","26","17","8","It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."
"kjv","26","17","9","Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof."
"kjv","26","17","10","Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew."
"kjv","26","17","11","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","17","12","Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;"
"kjv","26","17","13","And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:"
"kjv","26","17","14","That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand."
"kjv","26","17","15","But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?"
"kjv","26","17","16","As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die."
"kjv","26","17","17","Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:"
"kjv","26","17","18","Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape."
"kjv","26","17","19","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head."
"kjv","26","17","20","And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me."
"kjv","26","17","21","And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it."
"kjv","26","17","22","Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:"
"kjv","26","17","23","In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell."
"kjv","26","17","24","And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it."
"kjv","26","18","1","The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,"
"kjv","26","18","2","What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?"
"kjv","26","18","3","As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel."
"kjv","26","18","4","Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die."
"kjv","26","18","5","But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,"
"kjv","26","18","6","And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,"
"kjv","26","18","7","And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;"
"kjv","26","18","8","He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,"
"kjv","26","18","9","Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","18","10","If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,"
"kjv","26","18","11","And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,"
"kjv","26","18","12","Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,"
"kjv","26","18","13","Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him."
"kjv","26","18","14","Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,"
"kjv","26","18","15","That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,"
"kjv","26","18","16","Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,"
"kjv","26","18","17","That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live."
"kjv","26","18","18","As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity."
"kjv","26","18","19","Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live."
"kjv","26","18","20","The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
"kjv","26","18","21","But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"kjv","26","18","22","All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live."
"kjv","26","18","23","Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?"
"kjv","26","18","24","But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die."
"kjv","26","18","25","Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?"
"kjv","26","18","26","When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die."
"kjv","26","18","27","Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive."
"kjv","26","18","28","Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"kjv","26","18","29","Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?"
"kjv","26","18","30","Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin."
"kjv","26","18","31","Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
"kjv","26","18","32","For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye."
"kjv","26","19","1","Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,"
"kjv","26","19","2","And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions."
"kjv","26","19","3","And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men."
"kjv","26","19","4","The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt."
"kjv","26","19","5","Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion."
"kjv","26","19","6","And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men."
"kjv","26","19","7","And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring."
"kjv","26","19","8","Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit."
"kjv","26","19","9","And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel."
"kjv","26","19","10","Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters."
"kjv","26","19","11","And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches."
"kjv","26","19","12","But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them."
"kjv","26","19","13","And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground."
"kjv","26","19","14","And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation."
"kjv","26","20","1","And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me."
"kjv","26","20","2","Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","20","3","Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to inquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you."
"kjv","26","20","4","Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:"
"kjv","26","20","5","And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;"
"kjv","26","20","6","In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:"
"kjv","26","20","7","Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","26","20","8","But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","26","20","9","But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","26","20","10","Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness."
"kjv","26","20","11","And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them."
"kjv","26","20","12","Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them."
"kjv","26","20","13","But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them."
"kjv","26","20","14","But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out."
"kjv","26","20","15","Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;"
"kjv","26","20","16","Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols."
"kjv","26","20","17","Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness."
"kjv","26","20","18","But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:"
"kjv","26","20","19","I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;"
"kjv","26","20","20","And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God."
"kjv","26","20","21","Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness."
"kjv","26","20","22","Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth."
"kjv","26","20","23","I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;"
"kjv","26","20","24","Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols."
"kjv","26","20","25","Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;"
"kjv","26","20","26","And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","20","27","Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me."
"kjv","26","20","28","For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings."
"kjv","26","20","29","Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day."
"kjv","26","20","30","Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?"
"kjv","26","20","31","For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you."
"kjv","26","20","32","And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone."
"kjv","26","20","33","As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:"
"kjv","26","20","34","And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out."
"kjv","26","20","35","And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face."
"kjv","26","20","36","Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","20","37","And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:"
"kjv","26","20","38","And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","20","39","As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols."
"kjv","26","20","40","For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things."
"kjv","26","20","41","I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen."
"kjv","26","20","42","And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers."
"kjv","26","20","43","And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed."
"kjv","26","20","44","And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","20","45","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","20","46","Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;"
"kjv","26","20","47","And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein."
"kjv","26","20","48","And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched."
"kjv","26","20","49","Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?"
"kjv","26","21","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","21","2","Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,"
"kjv","26","21","3","And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked."
"kjv","26","21","4","Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:"
"kjv","26","21","5","That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more."
"kjv","26","21","6","Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes."
"kjv","26","21","7","And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","21","8","Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","21","9","Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:"
"kjv","26","21","10","It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree."
"kjv","26","21","11","And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer."
"kjv","26","21","12","Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh."
"kjv","26","21","13","Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","21","14","Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers."
"kjv","26","21","15","I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter."
"kjv","26","21","16","Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set."
"kjv","26","21","17","I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it."
"kjv","26","21","18","The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,"
"kjv","26","21","19","Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city."
"kjv","26","21","20","Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced."
"kjv","26","21","21","For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver."
"kjv","26","21","22","At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort."
"kjv","26","21","23","And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken."
"kjv","26","21","24","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand."
"kjv","26","21","25","And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,"
"kjv","26","21","26","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high."
"kjv","26","21","27","I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him."
"kjv","26","21","28","And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:"
"kjv","26","21","29","Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end."
"kjv","26","21","30","Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity."
"kjv","26","21","31","And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy."
"kjv","26","21","32","Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it."
"kjv","26","22","1","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","22","2","Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations."
"kjv","26","22","3","Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself."
"kjv","26","22","4","Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries."
"kjv","26","22","5","Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed."
"kjv","26","22","6","Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood."
"kjv","26","22","7","In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow."
"kjv","26","22","8","Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths."
"kjv","26","22","9","In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness."
"kjv","26","22","10","In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution."
"kjv","26","22","11","And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter."
"kjv","26","22","12","In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","22","13","Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee."
"kjv","26","22","14","Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it."
"kjv","26","22","15","And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee."
"kjv","26","22","16","And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","22","17","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","22","18","Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver."
"kjv","26","22","19","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem."
"kjv","26","22","20","As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you."
"kjv","26","22","21","Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof."
"kjv","26","22","22","As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you."
"kjv","26","22","23","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","22","24","Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation."
"kjv","26","22","25","There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof."
"kjv","26","22","26","Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them."
"kjv","26","22","27","Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain."
"kjv","26","22","28","And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken."
"kjv","26","22","29","The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully."
"kjv","26","22","30","And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."
"kjv","26","22","31","Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","23","1","The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","23","2","Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:"
"kjv","26","23","3","And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity."
"kjv","26","23","4","And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah."
"kjv","26","23","5","And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,"
"kjv","26","23","6","Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses."
"kjv","26","23","7","Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself."
"kjv","26","23","8","Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her."
"kjv","26","23","9","Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted."
"kjv","26","23","10","These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her."
"kjv","26","23","11","And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms."
"kjv","26","23","12","She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men."
"kjv","26","23","13","Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,"
"kjv","26","23","14","And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,"
"kjv","26","23","15","Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:"
"kjv","26","23","16","And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea."
"kjv","26","23","17","And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them."
"kjv","26","23","18","So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister."
"kjv","26","23","19","Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","26","23","20","For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses."
"kjv","26","23","21","Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth."
"kjv","26","23","22","Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;"
"kjv","26","23","23","The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses."
"kjv","26","23","24","And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments."
"kjv","26","23","25","And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire."
"kjv","26","23","26","They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels."
"kjv","26","23","27","Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more."
"kjv","26","23","28","For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:"
"kjv","26","23","29","And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms."
"kjv","26","23","30","I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols."
"kjv","26","23","31","Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand."
"kjv","26","23","32","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much."
"kjv","26","23","33","Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria."
"kjv","26","23","34","Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","23","35","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms."
"kjv","26","23","36","The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;"
"kjv","26","23","37","That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them."
"kjv","26","23","38","Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths."
"kjv","26","23","39","For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house."
"kjv","26","23","40","And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,"
"kjv","26","23","41","And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil."
"kjv","26","23","42","And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads."
"kjv","26","23","43","Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?"
"kjv","26","23","44","Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women."
"kjv","26","23","45","And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands."
"kjv","26","23","46","For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled."
"kjv","26","23","47","And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire."
"kjv","26","23","48","Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness."
"kjv","26","23","49","And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","24","1","Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","24","2","Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day."
"kjv","26","24","3","And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:"
"kjv","26","24","4","Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones."
"kjv","26","24","5","Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein."
"kjv","26","24","6","Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it."
"kjv","26","24","7","For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;"
"kjv","26","24","8","That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered."
"kjv","26","24","9","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great."
"kjv","26","24","10","Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned."
"kjv","26","24","11","Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed."
"kjv","26","24","12","She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire."
"kjv","26","24","13","In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee."
"kjv","26","24","14","I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","24","15","Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","24","16","Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down."
"kjv","26","24","17","Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men."
"kjv","26","24","18","So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded."
"kjv","26","24","19","And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?"
"kjv","26","24","20","Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","24","21","Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword."
"kjv","26","24","22","And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men."
"kjv","26","24","23","And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another."
"kjv","26","24","24","Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","24","25","Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,"
"kjv","26","24","26","That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?"
"kjv","26","24","27","In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","25","1","The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","25","2","Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;"
"kjv","26","25","3","And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;"
"kjv","26","25","4","Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk."
"kjv","26","25","5","And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","25","6","For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;"
"kjv","26","25","7","Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","25","8","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;"
"kjv","26","25","9","Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,"
"kjv","26","25","10","Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations."
"kjv","26","25","11","And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","25","12","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;"
"kjv","26","25","13","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword."
"kjv","26","25","14","And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","25","15","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;"
"kjv","26","25","16","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast."
"kjv","26","25","17","And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."
"kjv","26","26","1","And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","26","2","Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:"
"kjv","26","26","3","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up."
"kjv","26","26","4","And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock."
"kjv","26","26","5","It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations."
"kjv","26","26","6","And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","26","7","For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people."
"kjv","26","26","8","He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee."
"kjv","26","26","9","And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers."
"kjv","26","26","10","By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach."
"kjv","26","26","11","With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground."
"kjv","26","26","12","And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water."
"kjv","26","26","13","And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard."
"kjv","26","26","14","And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","26","15","Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?"
"kjv","26","26","16","Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee."
"kjv","26","26","17","And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!"
"kjv","26","26","18","Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure."
"kjv","26","26","19","For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;"
"kjv","26","26","20","When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;"
"kjv","26","26","21","I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","27","1","The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","27","2","Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;"
"kjv","26","27","3","And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty."
"kjv","26","27","4","Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty."
"kjv","26","27","5","They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee."
"kjv","26","27","6","Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim."
"kjv","26","27","7","Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee."
"kjv","26","27","8","The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots."
"kjv","26","27","9","The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise."
"kjv","26","27","10","They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness."
"kjv","26","27","11","The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect."
"kjv","26","27","12","Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs."
"kjv","26","27","13","Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market."
"kjv","26","27","14","They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules."
"kjv","26","27","15","The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony."
"kjv","26","27","16","Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate."
"kjv","26","27","17","Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm."
"kjv","26","27","18","Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool."
"kjv","26","27","19","Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market."
"kjv","26","27","20","Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots."
"kjv","26","27","21","Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants."
"kjv","26","27","22","The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold."
"kjv","26","27","23","Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants."
"kjv","26","27","24","These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise."
"kjv","26","27","25","The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas."
"kjv","26","27","26","Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas."
"kjv","26","27","27","Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin."
"kjv","26","27","28","The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots."
"kjv","26","27","29","And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;"
"kjv","26","27","30","And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:"
"kjv","26","27","31","And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing."
"kjv","26","27","32","And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?"
"kjv","26","27","33","When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise."
"kjv","26","27","34","In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall."
"kjv","26","27","35","All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance."
"kjv","26","27","36","The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more."
"kjv","26","28","1","The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","28","2","Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:"
"kjv","26","28","3","Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:"
"kjv","26","28","4","With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:"
"kjv","26","28","5","By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:"
"kjv","26","28","6","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;"
"kjv","26","28","7","Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness."
"kjv","26","28","8","They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas."
"kjv","26","28","9","Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee."
"kjv","26","28","10","Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","28","11","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","28","12","Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty."
"kjv","26","28","13","Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created."
"kjv","26","28","14","Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."
"kjv","26","28","15","Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."
"kjv","26","28","16","By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."
"kjv","26","28","17","Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee."
"kjv","26","28","18","Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee."
"kjv","26","28","19","All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."
"kjv","26","28","20","Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","28","21","Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,"
"kjv","26","28","22","And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her."
"kjv","26","28","23","For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","28","24","And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","28","25","Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob."
"kjv","26","28","26","And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God."
"kjv","26","29","1","In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","29","2","Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:"
"kjv","26","29","3","Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself."
"kjv","26","29","4","But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales."
"kjv","26","29","5","And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven."
"kjv","26","29","6","And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","29","7","When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand."
"kjv","26","29","8","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee."
"kjv","26","29","9","And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it."
"kjv","26","29","10","Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia."
"kjv","26","29","11","No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years."
"kjv","26","29","12","And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."
"kjv","26","29","13","Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:"
"kjv","26","29","14","And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom."
"kjv","26","29","15","It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations."
"kjv","26","29","16","And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","29","17","And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","29","18","Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:"
"kjv","26","29","19","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army."
"kjv","26","29","20","I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","29","21","In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","30","1","The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","30","2","Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!"
"kjv","26","30","3","For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen."
"kjv","26","30","4","And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down."
"kjv","26","30","5","Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword."
"kjv","26","30","6","Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","30","7","And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted."
"kjv","26","30","8","And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed."
"kjv","26","30","9","In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh."
"kjv","26","30","10","Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon."
"kjv","26","30","11","He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain."
"kjv","26","30","12","And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it."
"kjv","26","30","13","Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","26","30","14","And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No."
"kjv","26","30","15","And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No."
"kjv","26","30","16","And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily."
"kjv","26","30","17","The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity."
"kjv","26","30","18","At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity."
"kjv","26","30","19","Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","30","20","And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","30","21","Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword."
"kjv","26","30","22","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand."
"kjv","26","30","23","And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."
"kjv","26","30","24","And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man."
"kjv","26","30","25","But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt."
"kjv","26","30","26","And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","31","1","And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","31","2","Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?"
"kjv","26","31","3","Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs."
"kjv","26","31","4","The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field."
"kjv","26","31","5","Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth."
"kjv","26","31","6","All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations."
"kjv","26","31","7","Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters."
"kjv","26","31","8","The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty."
"kjv","26","31","9","I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him."
"kjv","26","31","10","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;"
"kjv","26","31","11","I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness."
"kjv","26","31","12","And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him."
"kjv","26","31","13","Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:"
"kjv","26","31","14","To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit."
"kjv","26","31","15","Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him."
"kjv","26","31","16","I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth."
"kjv","26","31","17","They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen."
"kjv","26","31","18","To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","32","1","And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","32","2","Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers."
"kjv","26","32","3","Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net."
"kjv","26","32","4","Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee."
"kjv","26","32","5","And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height."
"kjv","26","32","6","I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee."
"kjv","26","32","7","And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light."
"kjv","26","32","8","All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","32","9","I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known."
"kjv","26","32","10","Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall."
"kjv","26","32","11","For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee."
"kjv","26","32","12","By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed."
"kjv","26","32","13","I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them."
"kjv","26","32","14","Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","32","15","When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","32","16","This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","32","17","It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","32","18","Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit."
"kjv","26","32","19","Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised."
"kjv","26","32","20","They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes."
"kjv","26","32","21","The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword."
"kjv","26","32","22","Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:"
"kjv","26","32","23","Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living."
"kjv","26","32","24","There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit."
"kjv","26","32","25","They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain."
"kjv","26","32","26","There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living."
"kjv","26","32","27","And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living."
"kjv","26","32","28","Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword."
"kjv","26","32","29","There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit."
"kjv","26","32","30","There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit."
"kjv","26","32","31","Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","32","32","For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","33","1","Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","33","2","Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:"
"kjv","26","33","3","If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;"
"kjv","26","33","4","Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head."
"kjv","26","33","5","He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul."
"kjv","26","33","6","But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand."
"kjv","26","33","7","So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me."
"kjv","26","33","8","When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
"kjv","26","33","9","Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."
"kjv","26","33","10","Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?"
"kjv","26","33","11","Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
"kjv","26","33","12","Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth."
"kjv","26","33","13","When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it."
"kjv","26","33","14","Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;"
"kjv","26","33","15","If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"kjv","26","33","16","None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live."
"kjv","26","33","17","Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal."
"kjv","26","33","18","When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby."
"kjv","26","33","19","But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby."
"kjv","26","33","20","Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways."
"kjv","26","33","21","And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten."
"kjv","26","33","22","Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb."
"kjv","26","33","23","Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","33","24","Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance."
"kjv","26","33","25","Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?"
"kjv","26","33","26","Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?"
"kjv","26","33","27","Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence."
"kjv","26","33","28","For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through."
"kjv","26","33","29","Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed."
"kjv","26","33","30","Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD."
"kjv","26","33","31","And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness."
"kjv","26","33","32","And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not."
"kjv","26","33","33","And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."
"kjv","26","34","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","34","2","Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?"
"kjv","26","34","3","Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock."
"kjv","26","34","4","The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them."
"kjv","26","34","5","And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered."
"kjv","26","34","6","My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them."
"kjv","26","34","7","Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;"
"kjv","26","34","8","As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;"
"kjv","26","34","9","Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;"
"kjv","26","34","10","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them."
"kjv","26","34","11","For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out."
"kjv","26","34","12","As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day."
"kjv","26","34","13","And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country."
"kjv","26","34","14","I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel."
"kjv","26","34","15","I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","34","16","I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment."
"kjv","26","34","17","And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats."
"kjv","26","34","18","Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?"
"kjv","26","34","19","And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet."
"kjv","26","34","20","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle."
"kjv","26","34","21","Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;"
"kjv","26","34","22","Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle."
"kjv","26","34","23","And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd."
"kjv","26","34","24","And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it."
"kjv","26","34","25","And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods."
"kjv","26","34","26","And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing."
"kjv","26","34","27","And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them."
"kjv","26","34","28","And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid."
"kjv","26","34","29","And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more."
"kjv","26","34","30","Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","34","31","And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","35","1","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","35","2","Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,"
"kjv","26","35","3","And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate."
"kjv","26","35","4","I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","35","5","Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:"
"kjv","26","35","6","Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee."
"kjv","26","35","7","Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth."
"kjv","26","35","8","And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword."
"kjv","26","35","9","I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","35","10","Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:"
"kjv","26","35","11","Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee."
"kjv","26","35","12","And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume."
"kjv","26","35","13","Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them."
"kjv","26","35","14","Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate."
"kjv","26","35","15","As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","36","1","Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:"
"kjv","26","36","2","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:"
"kjv","26","36","3","Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:"
"kjv","26","36","4","Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;"
"kjv","26","36","5","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey."
"kjv","26","36","6","Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:"
"kjv","26","36","7","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame."
"kjv","26","36","8","But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come."
"kjv","26","36","9","For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:"
"kjv","26","36","10","And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:"
"kjv","26","36","11","And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","36","12","Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men."
"kjv","26","36","13","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;"
"kjv","26","36","14","Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","36","15","Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","36","16","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","36","17","Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman."
"kjv","26","36","18","Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:"
"kjv","26","36","19","And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them."
"kjv","26","36","20","And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land."
"kjv","26","36","21","But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went."
"kjv","26","36","22","Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went."
"kjv","26","36","23","And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes."
"kjv","26","36","24","For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land."
"kjv","26","36","25","Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."
"kjv","26","36","26","A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."
"kjv","26","36","27","And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."
"kjv","26","36","28","And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
"kjv","26","36","29","I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you."
"kjv","26","36","30","And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen."
"kjv","26","36","31","Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations."
"kjv","26","36","32","Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel."
"kjv","26","36","33","Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded."
"kjv","26","36","34","And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by."
"kjv","26","36","35","And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited."
"kjv","26","36","36","Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it."
"kjv","26","36","37","Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock."
"kjv","26","36","38","As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","37","1","The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,"
"kjv","26","37","2","And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry."
"kjv","26","37","3","And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest."
"kjv","26","37","4","Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD."
"kjv","26","37","5","Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:"
"kjv","26","37","6","And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","37","7","So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone."
"kjv","26","37","8","And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them."
"kjv","26","37","9","Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."
"kjv","26","37","10","So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army."
"kjv","26","37","11","Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts."
"kjv","26","37","12","Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel."
"kjv","26","37","13","And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,"
"kjv","26","37","14","And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD."
"kjv","26","37","15","The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","37","16","Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:"
"kjv","26","37","17","And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand."
"kjv","26","37","18","And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?"
"kjv","26","37","19","Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand."
"kjv","26","37","20","And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes."
"kjv","26","37","21","And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:"
"kjv","26","37","22","And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:"
"kjv","26","37","23","Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God."
"kjv","26","37","24","And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them."
"kjv","26","37","25","And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever."
"kjv","26","37","26","Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore."
"kjv","26","37","27","My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
"kjv","26","37","28","And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore."
"kjv","26","38","1","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","26","38","2","Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,"
"kjv","26","38","3","And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:"
"kjv","26","38","4","And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:"
"kjv","26","38","5","Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:"
"kjv","26","38","6","Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee."
"kjv","26","38","7","Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them."
"kjv","26","38","8","After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them."
"kjv","26","38","9","Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee."
"kjv","26","38","10","Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:"
"kjv","26","38","11","And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,"
"kjv","26","38","12","To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land."
"kjv","26","38","13","Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?"
"kjv","26","38","14","Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?"
"kjv","26","38","15","And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:"
"kjv","26","38","16","And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes."
"kjv","26","38","17","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?"
"kjv","26","38","18","And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face."
"kjv","26","38","19","For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;"
"kjv","26","38","20","So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground."
"kjv","26","38","21","And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother."
"kjv","26","38","22","And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone."
"kjv","26","38","23","Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","39","1","Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:"
"kjv","26","39","2","And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:"
"kjv","26","39","3","And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand."
"kjv","26","39","4","Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured."
"kjv","26","39","5","Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","39","6","And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"kjv","26","39","7","So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel."
"kjv","26","39","8","Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken."
"kjv","26","39","9","And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:"
"kjv","26","39","10","So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","39","11","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog."
"kjv","26","39","12","And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land."
"kjv","26","39","13","Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","39","14","And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search."
"kjv","26","39","15","And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog."
"kjv","26","39","16","And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land."
"kjv","26","39","17","And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood."
"kjv","26","39","18","Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan."
"kjv","26","39","19","And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you."
"kjv","26","39","20","Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","39","21","And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them."
"kjv","26","39","22","So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward."
"kjv","26","39","23","And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword."
"kjv","26","39","24","According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them."
"kjv","26","39","25","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;"
"kjv","26","39","26","After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid."
"kjv","26","39","27","When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;"
"kjv","26","39","28","Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there."
"kjv","26","39","29","Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","40","1","In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither."
"kjv","26","40","2","In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south."
"kjv","26","40","3","And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate."
"kjv","26","40","4","And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","40","5","And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed."
"kjv","26","40","6","Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad."
"kjv","26","40","7","And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed."
"kjv","26","40","8","He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed."
"kjv","26","40","9","Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward."
"kjv","26","40","10","And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side."
"kjv","26","40","11","And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits."
"kjv","26","40","12","The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side."
"kjv","26","40","13","He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door."
"kjv","26","40","14","He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate."
"kjv","26","40","15","And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits."
"kjv","26","40","16","And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees."
"kjv","26","40","17","Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement."
"kjv","26","40","18","And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement."
"kjv","26","40","19","Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward."
"kjv","26","40","20","And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof."
"kjv","26","40","21","And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits."
"kjv","26","40","22","And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them."
"kjv","26","40","23","And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits."
"kjv","26","40","24","After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures."
"kjv","26","40","25","And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits."
"kjv","26","40","26","And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof."
"kjv","26","40","27","And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits."
"kjv","26","40","28","And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;"
"kjv","26","40","29","And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad."
"kjv","26","40","30","And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad."
"kjv","26","40","31","And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps."
"kjv","26","40","32","And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures."
"kjv","26","40","33","And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad."
"kjv","26","40","34","And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps."
"kjv","26","40","35","And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;"
"kjv","26","40","36","The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits."
"kjv","26","40","37","And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps."
"kjv","26","40","38","And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering."
"kjv","26","40","39","And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering."
"kjv","26","40","40","And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables."
"kjv","26","40","41","Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices."
"kjv","26","40","42","And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice."
"kjv","26","40","43","And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering."
"kjv","26","40","44","And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north."
"kjv","26","40","45","And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house."
"kjv","26","40","46","And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him."
"kjv","26","40","47","So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house."
"kjv","26","40","48","And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side."
"kjv","26","40","49","The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side."
"kjv","26","41","1","Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle."
"kjv","26","41","2","And the breadth of the door was ten cubits: and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits."
"kjv","26","41","3","Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits."
"kjv","26","41","4","So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place."
"kjv","26","41","5","After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side."
"kjv","26","41","6","And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house."
"kjv","26","41","7","And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst."
"kjv","26","41","8","I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits."
"kjv","26","41","9","The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within."
"kjv","26","41","10","And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side."
"kjv","26","41","11","And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about."
"kjv","26","41","12","Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits."
"kjv","26","41","13","So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;"
"kjv","26","41","14","Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits."
"kjv","26","41","15","And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;"
"kjv","26","41","16","The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, ceiled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;"
"kjv","26","41","17","To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure."
"kjv","26","41","18","And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;"
"kjv","26","41","19","So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about."
"kjv","26","41","20","From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple."
"kjv","26","41","21","The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other."
"kjv","26","41","22","The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD."
"kjv","26","41","23","And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors."
"kjv","26","41","24","And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door."
"kjv","26","41","25","And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without."
"kjv","26","41","26","And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks."
"kjv","26","42","1","Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north."
"kjv","26","42","2","Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits."
"kjv","26","42","3","Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories."
"kjv","26","42","4","And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north."
"kjv","26","42","5","Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building."
"kjv","26","42","6","For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground."
"kjv","26","42","7","And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits."
"kjv","26","42","8","For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits."
"kjv","26","42","9","And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court."
"kjv","26","42","10","The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building."
"kjv","26","42","11","And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors."
"kjv","26","42","12","And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them."
"kjv","26","42","13","Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy."
"kjv","26","42","14","When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people."
"kjv","26","42","15","Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about."
"kjv","26","42","16","He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about."
"kjv","26","42","17","He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about."
"kjv","26","42","18","He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed."
"kjv","26","42","19","He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed."
"kjv","26","42","20","He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place."
"kjv","26","43","1","Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:"
"kjv","26","43","2","And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory."
"kjv","26","43","3","And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face."
"kjv","26","43","4","And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east."
"kjv","26","43","5","So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house."
"kjv","26","43","6","And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me."
"kjv","26","43","7","And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places."
"kjv","26","43","8","In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger."
"kjv","26","43","9","Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever."
"kjv","26","43","10","Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern."
"kjv","26","43","11","And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them."
"kjv","26","43","12","This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house."
"kjv","26","43","13","And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar."
"kjv","26","43","14","And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit."
"kjv","26","43","15","So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns."
"kjv","26","43","16","And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof."
"kjv","26","43","17","And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east."
"kjv","26","43","18","And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon."
"kjv","26","43","19","And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering."
"kjv","26","43","20","And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it."
"kjv","26","43","21","Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary."
"kjv","26","43","22","And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock."
"kjv","26","43","23","When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish."
"kjv","26","43","24","And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD."
"kjv","26","43","25","Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish."
"kjv","26","43","26","Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves."
"kjv","26","43","27","And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","44","1","Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut."
"kjv","26","44","2","Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut."
"kjv","26","44","3","It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same."
"kjv","26","44","4","Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face."
"kjv","26","44","5","And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary."
"kjv","26","44","6","And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,"
"kjv","26","44","7","In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations."
"kjv","26","44","8","And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves."
"kjv","26","44","9","Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel."
"kjv","26","44","10","And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity."
"kjv","26","44","11","Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them."
"kjv","26","44","12","Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity."
"kjv","26","44","13","And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed."
"kjv","26","44","14","But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein."
"kjv","26","44","15","But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:"
"kjv","26","44","16","They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge."
"kjv","26","44","17","And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within."
"kjv","26","44","18","They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat."
"kjv","26","44","19","And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments."
"kjv","26","44","20","Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads."
"kjv","26","44","21","Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court."
"kjv","26","44","22","Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before."
"kjv","26","44","23","And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean."
"kjv","26","44","24","And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths."
"kjv","26","44","25","And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves."
"kjv","26","44","26","And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days."
"kjv","26","44","27","And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","44","28","And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession."
"kjv","26","44","29","They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs."
"kjv","26","44","30","And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house."
"kjv","26","44","31","The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast."
"kjv","26","45","1","Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about."
"kjv","26","45","2","Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof."
"kjv","26","45","3","And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place."
"kjv","26","45","4","The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary."
"kjv","26","45","5","And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers."
"kjv","26","45","6","And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel."
"kjv","26","45","7","And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border."
"kjv","26","45","8","In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes."
"kjv","26","45","9","Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","45","10","Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath."
"kjv","26","45","11","The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer."
"kjv","26","45","12","And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh."
"kjv","26","45","13","This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:"
"kjv","26","45","14","Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer:"
"kjv","26","45","15","And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","45","16","All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel."
"kjv","26","45","17","And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel."
"kjv","26","45","18","Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:"
"kjv","26","45","19","And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court."
"kjv","26","45","20","And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house."
"kjv","26","45","21","In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten."
"kjv","26","45","22","And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering."
"kjv","26","45","23","And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering."
"kjv","26","45","24","And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah."
"kjv","26","45","25","In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil."
"kjv","26","46","1","Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened."
"kjv","26","46","2","And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening."
"kjv","26","46","3","Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons."
"kjv","26","46","4","And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish."
"kjv","26","46","5","And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah."
"kjv","26","46","6","And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish."
"kjv","26","46","7","And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah."
"kjv","26","46","8","And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof."
"kjv","26","46","9","But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it."
"kjv","26","46","10","And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth."
"kjv","26","46","11","And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah."
"kjv","26","46","12","Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate."
"kjv","26","46","13","Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning."
"kjv","26","46","14","And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD."
"kjv","26","46","15","Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering."
"kjv","26","46","16","Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance."
"kjv","26","46","17","But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them."
"kjv","26","46","18","Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession."
"kjv","26","46","19","After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward."
"kjv","26","46","20","Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people."
"kjv","26","46","21","Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court."
"kjv","26","46","22","In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure."
"kjv","26","46","23","And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about."
"kjv","26","46","24","Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people."
"kjv","26","47","1","Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar."
"kjv","26","47","2","Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side."
"kjv","26","47","3","And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles."
"kjv","26","47","4","Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins."
"kjv","26","47","5","Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over."
"kjv","26","47","6","And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river."
"kjv","26","47","7","Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other."
"kjv","26","47","8","Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed."
"kjv","26","47","9","And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh."
"kjv","26","47","10","And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many."
"kjv","26","47","11","But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt."
"kjv","26","47","12","And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
"kjv","26","47","13","Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions."
"kjv","26","47","14","And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance."
"kjv","26","47","15","And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;"
"kjv","26","47","16","Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran."
"kjv","26","47","17","And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side."
"kjv","26","47","18","And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side."
"kjv","26","47","19","And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward."
"kjv","26","47","20","The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side."
"kjv","26","47","21","So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","26","47","22","And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","26","47","23","And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","48","1","Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan."
"kjv","26","48","2","And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher."
"kjv","26","48","3","And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali."
"kjv","26","48","4","And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh."
"kjv","26","48","5","And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim."
"kjv","26","48","6","And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben."
"kjv","26","48","7","And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah."
"kjv","26","48","8","And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it."
"kjv","26","48","9","The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth."
"kjv","26","48","10","And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof."
"kjv","26","48","11","It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray."
"kjv","26","48","12","And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites."
"kjv","26","48","13","And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand."
"kjv","26","48","14","And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD."
"kjv","26","48","15","And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof."
"kjv","26","48","16","And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred."
"kjv","26","48","17","And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty."
"kjv","26","48","18","And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city."
"kjv","26","48","19","And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel."
"kjv","26","48","20","All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city."
"kjv","26","48","21","And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof."
"kjv","26","48","22","Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince."
"kjv","26","48","23","As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion."
"kjv","26","48","24","And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion."
"kjv","26","48","25","And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion."
"kjv","26","48","26","And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion."
"kjv","26","48","27","And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion."
"kjv","26","48","28","And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea."
"kjv","26","48","29","This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","26","48","30","And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures."
"kjv","26","48","31","And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi."
"kjv","26","48","32","And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan."
"kjv","26","48","33","And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun."
"kjv","26","48","34","At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali."
"kjv","26","48","35","It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there."
"kjv","27","1","1","In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it."
"kjv","27","1","2","And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god."
"kjv","27","1","3","And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;"
"kjv","27","1","4","Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans."
"kjv","27","1","5","And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king."
"kjv","27","1","6","Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:"
"kjv","27","1","7","Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego."
"kjv","27","1","8","But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."
"kjv","27","1","9","Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs."
"kjv","27","1","10","And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king."
"kjv","27","1","11","Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,"
"kjv","27","1","12","Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink."
"kjv","27","1","13","Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants."
"kjv","27","1","14","So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days."
"kjv","27","1","15","And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat."
"kjv","27","1","16","Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse."
"kjv","27","1","17","As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams."
"kjv","27","1","18","Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar."
"kjv","27","1","19","And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king."
"kjv","27","1","20","And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm."
"kjv","27","1","21","And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus."
"kjv","27","2","1","And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him."
"kjv","27","2","2","Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king."
"kjv","27","2","3","And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream."
"kjv","27","2","4","Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation."
"kjv","27","2","5","The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill."
"kjv","27","2","6","But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof."
"kjv","27","2","7","They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it."
"kjv","27","2","8","The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me."
"kjv","27","2","9","But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof."
"kjv","27","2","10","The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean."
"kjv","27","2","11","And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."
"kjv","27","2","12","For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon."
"kjv","27","2","13","And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain."
"kjv","27","2","14","Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:"
"kjv","27","2","15","He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel."
"kjv","27","2","16","Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation."
"kjv","27","2","17","Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:"
"kjv","27","2","18","That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon."
"kjv","27","2","19","Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven."
"kjv","27","2","20","Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:"
"kjv","27","2","21","And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:"
"kjv","27","2","22","He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."
"kjv","27","2","23","I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter."
"kjv","27","2","24","Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation."
"kjv","27","2","25","Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation."
"kjv","27","2","26","The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?"
"kjv","27","2","27","Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;"
"kjv","27","2","28","But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;"
"kjv","27","2","29","As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass."
"kjv","27","2","30","But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart."
"kjv","27","2","31","Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible."
"kjv","27","2","32","This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,"
"kjv","27","2","33","His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay."
"kjv","27","2","34","Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces."
"kjv","27","2","35","Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth."
"kjv","27","2","36","This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king."
"kjv","27","2","37","Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory."
"kjv","27","2","38","And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold."
"kjv","27","2","39","And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth."
"kjv","27","2","40","And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise."
"kjv","27","2","41","And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay."
"kjv","27","2","42","And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken."
"kjv","27","2","43","And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."
"kjv","27","2","44","And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."
"kjv","27","2","45","Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."
"kjv","27","2","46","Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him."
"kjv","27","2","47","The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret."
"kjv","27","2","48","Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon."
"kjv","27","2","49","Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king."
"kjv","27","3","1","Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon."
"kjv","27","3","2","Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up."
"kjv","27","3","3","Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up."
"kjv","27","3","4","Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,"
"kjv","27","3","5","That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:"
"kjv","27","3","6","And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
"kjv","27","3","7","Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up."
"kjv","27","3","8","Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews."
"kjv","27","3","9","They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever."
"kjv","27","3","10","Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:"
"kjv","27","3","11","And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
"kjv","27","3","12","There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."
"kjv","27","3","13","Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king."
"kjv","27","3","14","Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?"
"kjv","27","3","15","Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
"kjv","27","3","16","Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter."
"kjv","27","3","17","If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king."
"kjv","27","3","18","But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."
"kjv","27","3","19","Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated."
"kjv","27","3","20","And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace."
"kjv","27","3","21","Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace."
"kjv","27","3","22","Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego."
"kjv","27","3","23","And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace."
"kjv","27","3","24","Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king."
"kjv","27","3","25","He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
"kjv","27","3","26","Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire."
"kjv","27","3","27","And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them."
"kjv","27","3","28","Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God."
"kjv","27","3","29","Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort."
"kjv","27","3","30","Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon."
"kjv","27","4","1","Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you."
"kjv","27","4","2","I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me."
"kjv","27","4","3","How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation."
"kjv","27","4","4","I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:"
"kjv","27","4","5","I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me."
"kjv","27","4","6","Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream."
"kjv","27","4","7","Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof."
"kjv","27","4","8","But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,"
"kjv","27","4","9","O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof."
"kjv","27","4","10","Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great."
"kjv","27","4","11","The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:"
"kjv","27","4","12","The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it."
"kjv","27","4","13","I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;"
"kjv","27","4","14","He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:"
"kjv","27","4","15","Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:"
"kjv","27","4","16","Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him: and let seven times pass over him."
"kjv","27","4","17","This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men."
"kjv","27","4","18","This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee."
"kjv","27","4","19","Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies."
"kjv","27","4","20","The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;"
"kjv","27","4","21","Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:"
"kjv","27","4","22","It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth."
"kjv","27","4","23","And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;"
"kjv","27","4","24","This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:"
"kjv","27","4","25","That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."
"kjv","27","4","26","And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule."
"kjv","27","4","27","Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity."
"kjv","27","4","28","All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar."
"kjv","27","4","29","At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon."
"kjv","27","4","30","The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?"
"kjv","27","4","31","While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee."
"kjv","27","4","32","And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."
"kjv","27","4","33","The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws."
"kjv","27","4","34","And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:"
"kjv","27","4","35","And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?"
"kjv","27","4","36","At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me."
"kjv","27","4","37","Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase."
"kjv","27","5","1","Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand."
"kjv","27","5","2","Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein."
"kjv","27","5","3","Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them."
"kjv","27","5","4","They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone."
"kjv","27","5","5","In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."
"kjv","27","5","6","Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another."
"kjv","27","5","7","The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"kjv","27","5","8","Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof."
"kjv","27","5","9","Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied."
"kjv","27","5","10","Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:"
"kjv","27","5","11","There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;"
"kjv","27","5","12","Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation."
"kjv","27","5","13","Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?"
"kjv","27","5","14","I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee."
"kjv","27","5","15","And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:"
"kjv","27","5","16","And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"kjv","27","5","17","Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation."
"kjv","27","5","18","O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:"
"kjv","27","5","19","And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down."
"kjv","27","5","20","But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:"
"kjv","27","5","21","And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will."
"kjv","27","5","22","And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;"
"kjv","27","5","23","But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:"
"kjv","27","5","24","Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written."
"kjv","27","5","25","And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."
"kjv","27","5","26","This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it."
"kjv","27","5","27","TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."
"kjv","27","5","28","PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."
"kjv","27","5","29","Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"kjv","27","5","30","In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain."
"kjv","27","5","31","And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
"kjv","27","6","1","It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;"
"kjv","27","6","2","And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage."
"kjv","27","6","3","Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm."
"kjv","27","6","4","Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him."
"kjv","27","6","5","Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."
"kjv","27","6","6","Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever."
"kjv","27","6","7","All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions."
"kjv","27","6","8","Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not."
"kjv","27","6","9","Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree."
"kjv","27","6","10","Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime."
"kjv","27","6","11","Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God."
"kjv","27","6","12","Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not."
"kjv","27","6","13","Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day."
"kjv","27","6","14","Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him."
"kjv","27","6","15","Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed."
"kjv","27","6","16","Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee."
"kjv","27","6","17","And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel."
"kjv","27","6","18","Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him."
"kjv","27","6","19","Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions."
"kjv","27","6","20","And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?"
"kjv","27","6","21","Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever."
"kjv","27","6","22","My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt."
"kjv","27","6","23","Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God."
"kjv","27","6","24","And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den."
"kjv","27","6","25","Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you."
"kjv","27","6","26","I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end."
"kjv","27","6","27","He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
"kjv","27","6","28","So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."
"kjv","27","7","1","In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters."
"kjv","27","7","2","Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea."
"kjv","27","7","3","And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another."
"kjv","27","7","4","The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."
"kjv","27","7","5","And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."
"kjv","27","7","6","After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."
"kjv","27","7","7","After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns."
"kjv","27","7","8","I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."
"kjv","27","7","9","I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire."
"kjv","27","7","10","A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."
"kjv","27","7","11","I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame."
"kjv","27","7","12","As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time."
"kjv","27","7","13","I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."
"kjv","27","7","14","And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
"kjv","27","7","15","I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me."
"kjv","27","7","16","I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things."
"kjv","27","7","17","These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth."
"kjv","27","7","18","But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever."
"kjv","27","7","19","Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;"
"kjv","27","7","20","And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows."
"kjv","27","7","21","I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;"
"kjv","27","7","22","Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."
"kjv","27","7","23","Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."
"kjv","27","7","24","And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."
"kjv","27","7","25","And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
"kjv","27","7","26","But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."
"kjv","27","7","27","And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."
"kjv","27","7","28","Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart."
"kjv","27","8","1","In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first."
"kjv","27","8","2","And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai."
"kjv","27","8","3","Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last."
"kjv","27","8","4","I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great."
"kjv","27","8","5","And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes."
"kjv","27","8","6","And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power."
"kjv","27","8","7","And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand."
"kjv","27","8","8","Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven."
"kjv","27","8","9","And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land."
"kjv","27","8","10","And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them."
"kjv","27","8","11","Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down."
"kjv","27","8","12","And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered."
"kjv","27","8","13","Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?"
"kjv","27","8","14","And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
"kjv","27","8","15","And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man."
"kjv","27","8","16","And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision."
"kjv","27","8","17","So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision."
"kjv","27","8","18","Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright."
"kjv","27","8","19","And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be."
"kjv","27","8","20","The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia."
"kjv","27","8","21","And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."
"kjv","27","8","22","Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power."
"kjv","27","8","23","And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up."
"kjv","27","8","24","And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people."
"kjv","27","8","25","And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."
"kjv","27","8","26","And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days."
"kjv","27","8","27","And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it."
"kjv","27","9","1","In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;"
"kjv","27","9","2","In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem."
"kjv","27","9","3","And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:"
"kjv","27","9","4","And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;"
"kjv","27","9","5","We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:"
"kjv","27","9","6","Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land."
"kjv","27","9","7","O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee."
"kjv","27","9","8","O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee."
"kjv","27","9","9","To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;"
"kjv","27","9","10","Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets."
"kjv","27","9","11","Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him."
"kjv","27","9","12","And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem."
"kjv","27","9","13","As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth."
"kjv","27","9","14","Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice."
"kjv","27","9","15","And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly."
"kjv","27","9","16","O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us."
"kjv","27","9","17","Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake."
"kjv","27","9","18","O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies."
"kjv","27","9","19","O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name."
"kjv","27","9","20","And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;"
"kjv","27","9","21","Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation."
"kjv","27","9","22","And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding."
"kjv","27","9","23","At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision."
"kjv","27","9","24","Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
"kjv","27","9","25","Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
"kjv","27","9","26","And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."
"kjv","27","9","27","And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
"kjv","27","10","1","In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision."
"kjv","27","10","2","In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks."
"kjv","27","10","3","I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled."
"kjv","27","10","4","And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;"
"kjv","27","10","5","Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:"
"kjv","27","10","6","His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."
"kjv","27","10","7","And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves."
"kjv","27","10","8","Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength."
"kjv","27","10","9","Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground."
"kjv","27","10","10","And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands."
"kjv","27","10","11","And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling."
"kjv","27","10","12","Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words."
"kjv","27","10","13","But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia."
"kjv","27","10","14","Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days."
"kjv","27","10","15","And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb."
"kjv","27","10","16","And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength."
"kjv","27","10","17","For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me."
"kjv","27","10","18","Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,"
"kjv","27","10","19","And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me."
"kjv","27","10","20","Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come."
"kjv","27","10","21","But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince."
"kjv","27","11","1","Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him."
"kjv","27","11","2","And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia."
"kjv","27","11","3","And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will."
"kjv","27","11","4","And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those."
"kjv","27","11","5","And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion."
"kjv","27","11","6","And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times."
"kjv","27","11","7","But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:"
"kjv","27","11","8","And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north."
"kjv","27","11","9","So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land."
"kjv","27","11","10","But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress."
"kjv","27","11","11","And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand."
"kjv","27","11","12","And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it."
"kjv","27","11","13","For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches."
"kjv","27","11","14","And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall."
"kjv","27","11","15","So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand."
"kjv","27","11","16","But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed."
"kjv","27","11","17","He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him."
"kjv","27","11","18","After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him."
"kjv","27","11","19","Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found."
"kjv","27","11","20","Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle."
"kjv","27","11","21","And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries."
"kjv","27","11","22","And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant."
"kjv","27","11","23","And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people."
"kjv","27","11","24","He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time."
"kjv","27","11","25","And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him."
"kjv","27","11","26","Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain."
"kjv","27","11","27","And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed."
"kjv","27","11","28","Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land."
"kjv","27","11","29","At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter."
"kjv","27","11","30","For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant."
"kjv","27","11","31","And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate."
"kjv","27","11","32","And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
"kjv","27","11","33","And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days."
"kjv","27","11","34","Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries."
"kjv","27","11","35","And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed."
"kjv","27","11","36","And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done."
"kjv","27","11","37","Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."
"kjv","27","11","38","But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things."
"kjv","27","11","39","Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain."
"kjv","27","11","40","And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over."
"kjv","27","11","41","He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon."
"kjv","27","11","42","He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape."
"kjv","27","11","43","But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps."
"kjv","27","11","44","But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many."
"kjv","27","11","45","And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."
"kjv","27","12","1","And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."
"kjv","27","12","2","And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
"kjv","27","12","3","And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
"kjv","27","12","4","But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
"kjv","27","12","5","Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river."
"kjv","27","12","6","And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?"
"kjv","27","12","7","And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished."
"kjv","27","12","8","And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?"
"kjv","27","12","9","And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
"kjv","27","12","10","Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand."
"kjv","27","12","11","And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days."
"kjv","27","12","12","Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
"kjv","27","12","13","But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days."
"kjv","28","1","1","The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel."
"kjv","28","1","2","The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD."
"kjv","28","1","3","So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son."
"kjv","28","1","4","And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel."
"kjv","28","1","5","And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."
"kjv","28","1","6","And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away."
"kjv","28","1","7","But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen."
"kjv","28","1","8","Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son."
"kjv","28","1","9","Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God."
"kjv","28","1","10","Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God."
"kjv","28","1","11","Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel."
"kjv","28","2","1","Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah."
"kjv","28","2","2","Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;"
"kjv","28","2","3","Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst."
"kjv","28","2","4","And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms."
"kjv","28","2","5","For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink."
"kjv","28","2","6","Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths."
"kjv","28","2","7","And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now."
"kjv","28","2","8","For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal."
"kjv","28","2","9","Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness."
"kjv","28","2","10","And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand."
"kjv","28","2","11","I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts."
"kjv","28","2","12","And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them."
"kjv","28","2","13","And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","28","2","14","Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her."
"kjv","28","2","15","And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt."
"kjv","28","2","16","And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali."
"kjv","28","2","17","For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name."
"kjv","28","2","18","And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely."
"kjv","28","2","19","And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies."
"kjv","28","2","20","I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD."
"kjv","28","2","21","And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;"
"kjv","28","2","22","And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel."
"kjv","28","2","23","And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God."
"kjv","28","3","1","Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine."
"kjv","28","3","2","So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:"
"kjv","28","3","3","And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee."
"kjv","28","3","4","For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:"
"kjv","28","3","5","Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days."
"kjv","28","4","1","Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land."
"kjv","28","4","2","By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood."
"kjv","28","4","3","Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away."
"kjv","28","4","4","Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest."
"kjv","28","4","5","Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother."
"kjv","28","4","6","My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."
"kjv","28","4","7","As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame."
"kjv","28","4","8","They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity."
"kjv","28","4","9","And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings."
"kjv","28","4","10","For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD."
"kjv","28","4","11","Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart."
"kjv","28","4","12","My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God."
"kjv","28","4","13","They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery."
"kjv","28","4","14","I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall."
"kjv","28","4","15","Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth."
"kjv","28","4","16","For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place."
"kjv","28","4","17","Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone."
"kjv","28","4","18","Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye."
"kjv","28","4","19","The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices."
"kjv","28","5","1","Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor."
"kjv","28","5","2","And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all."
"kjv","28","5","3","I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled."
"kjv","28","5","4","They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD."
"kjv","28","5","5","And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them."
"kjv","28","5","6","They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them."
"kjv","28","5","7","They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions."
"kjv","28","5","8","Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin."
"kjv","28","5","9","Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be."
"kjv","28","5","10","The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water."
"kjv","28","5","11","Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment."
"kjv","28","5","12","Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness."
"kjv","28","5","13","When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound."
"kjv","28","5","14","For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him."
"kjv","28","5","15","I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early."
"kjv","28","6","1","Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up."
"kjv","28","6","2","After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
"kjv","28","6","3","Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth."
"kjv","28","6","4","O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away."
"kjv","28","6","5","Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth."
"kjv","28","6","6","For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."
"kjv","28","6","7","But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me."
"kjv","28","6","8","Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood."
"kjv","28","6","9","And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness."
"kjv","28","6","10","I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled."
"kjv","28","6","11","Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people."
"kjv","28","7","1","When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without."
"kjv","28","7","2","And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face."
"kjv","28","7","3","They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies."
"kjv","28","7","4","They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened."
"kjv","28","7","5","In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners."
"kjv","28","7","6","For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire."
"kjv","28","7","7","They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me."
"kjv","28","7","8","Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned."
"kjv","28","7","9","Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not."
"kjv","28","7","10","And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this."
"kjv","28","7","11","Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria."
"kjv","28","7","12","When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard."
"kjv","28","7","13","Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me."
"kjv","28","7","14","And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me."
"kjv","28","7","15","Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me."
"kjv","28","7","16","They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt."
"kjv","28","8","1","Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law."
"kjv","28","8","2","Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee."
"kjv","28","8","3","Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him."
"kjv","28","8","4","They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off."
"kjv","28","8","5","Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?"
"kjv","28","8","6","For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces."
"kjv","28","8","7","For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up."
"kjv","28","8","8","Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure."
"kjv","28","8","9","For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers."
"kjv","28","8","10","Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes."
"kjv","28","8","11","Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin."
"kjv","28","8","12","I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing."
"kjv","28","8","13","They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt."
"kjv","28","8","14","For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof."
"kjv","28","9","1","Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor."
"kjv","28","9","2","The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her."
"kjv","28","9","3","They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria."
"kjv","28","9","4","They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD."
"kjv","28","9","5","What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?"
"kjv","28","9","6","For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles."
"kjv","28","9","7","The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred."
"kjv","28","9","8","The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God."
"kjv","28","9","9","They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins."
"kjv","28","9","10","I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved."
"kjv","28","9","11","As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception."
"kjv","28","9","12","Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!"
"kjv","28","9","13","Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer."
"kjv","28","9","14","Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts."
"kjv","28","9","15","All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters."
"kjv","28","9","16","Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb."
"kjv","28","9","17","My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations."
"kjv","28","10","1","Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images."
"kjv","28","10","2","Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images."
"kjv","28","10","3","For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?"
"kjv","28","10","4","They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field."
"kjv","28","10","5","The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it."
"kjv","28","10","6","It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel."
"kjv","28","10","7","As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water."
"kjv","28","10","8","The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us."
"kjv","28","10","9","O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them."
"kjv","28","10","10","It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows."
"kjv","28","10","11","And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods."
"kjv","28","10","12","Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you."
"kjv","28","10","13","Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men."
"kjv","28","10","14","Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children."
"kjv","28","10","15","So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off."
"kjv","28","11","1","When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."
"kjv","28","11","2","As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images."
"kjv","28","11","3","I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them."
"kjv","28","11","4","I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them."
"kjv","28","11","5","He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return."
"kjv","28","11","6","And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels."
"kjv","28","11","7","And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him."
"kjv","28","11","8","How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together."
"kjv","28","11","9","I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city."
"kjv","28","11","10","They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west."
"kjv","28","11","11","They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD."
"kjv","28","11","12","Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints."
"kjv","28","12","1","Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt."
"kjv","28","12","2","The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him."
"kjv","28","12","3","He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:"
"kjv","28","12","4","Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;"
"kjv","28","12","5","Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial."
"kjv","28","12","6","Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually."
"kjv","28","12","7","He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress."
"kjv","28","12","8","And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin."
"kjv","28","12","9","And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast."
"kjv","28","12","10","I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets."
"kjv","28","12","11","Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields."
"kjv","28","12","12","And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep."
"kjv","28","12","13","And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved."
"kjv","28","12","14","Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him."
"kjv","28","13","1","When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died."
"kjv","28","13","2","And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves."
"kjv","28","13","3","Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney."
"kjv","28","13","4","Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me."
"kjv","28","13","5","I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought."
"kjv","28","13","6","According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me."
"kjv","28","13","7","Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:"
"kjv","28","13","8","I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them."
"kjv","28","13","9","O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help."
"kjv","28","13","10","I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?"
"kjv","28","13","11","I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath."
"kjv","28","13","12","The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid."
"kjv","28","13","13","The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children."
"kjv","28","13","14","I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes."
"kjv","28","13","15","Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels."
"kjv","28","13","16","Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."
"kjv","28","14","1","O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity."
"kjv","28","14","2","Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips."
"kjv","28","14","3","Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy."
"kjv","28","14","4","I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him."
"kjv","28","14","5","I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon."
"kjv","28","14","6","His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon."
"kjv","28","14","7","They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon."
"kjv","28","14","8","Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found."
"kjv","28","14","9","Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein."
"kjv","29","1","1","The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel."
"kjv","29","1","2","Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?"
"kjv","29","1","3","Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation."
"kjv","29","1","4","That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten."
"kjv","29","1","5","Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth."
"kjv","29","1","6","For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion."
"kjv","29","1","7","He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white."
"kjv","29","1","8","Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth."
"kjv","29","1","9","The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn."
"kjv","29","1","10","The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth."
"kjv","29","1","11","Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished."
"kjv","29","1","12","The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men."
"kjv","29","1","13","Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God."
"kjv","29","1","14","Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD."
"kjv","29","1","15","Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come."
"kjv","29","1","16","Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?"
"kjv","29","1","17","The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered."
"kjv","29","1","18","How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate."
"kjv","29","1","19","O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field."
"kjv","29","1","20","The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness."
"kjv","29","2","1","Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;"
"kjv","29","2","2","A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations."
"kjv","29","2","3","A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them."
"kjv","29","2","4","The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run."
"kjv","29","2","5","Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array."
"kjv","29","2","6","Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness."
"kjv","29","2","7","They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:"
"kjv","29","2","8","Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded."
"kjv","29","2","9","They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief."
"kjv","29","2","10","The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:"
"kjv","29","2","11","And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?"
"kjv","29","2","12","Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:"
"kjv","29","2","13","And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil."
"kjv","29","2","14","Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?"
"kjv","29","2","15","Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:"
"kjv","29","2","16","Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet."
"kjv","29","2","17","Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?"
"kjv","29","2","18","Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people."
"kjv","29","2","19","Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:"
"kjv","29","2","20","But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things."
"kjv","29","2","21","Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things."
"kjv","29","2","22","Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength."
"kjv","29","2","23","Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month."
"kjv","29","2","24","And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil."
"kjv","29","2","25","And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you."
"kjv","29","2","26","And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed."
"kjv","29","2","27","And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed."
"kjv","29","2","28","And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:"
"kjv","29","2","29","And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."
"kjv","29","2","30","And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke."
"kjv","29","2","31","The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come."
"kjv","29","2","32","And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
"kjv","29","3","1","For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,"
"kjv","29","3","2","I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land."
"kjv","29","3","3","And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink."
"kjv","29","3","4","Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head;"
"kjv","29","3","5","Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:"
"kjv","29","3","6","The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border."
"kjv","29","3","7","Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head:"
"kjv","29","3","8","And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","29","3","9","Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:"
"kjv","29","3","10","Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong."
"kjv","29","3","11","Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD."
"kjv","29","3","12","Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about."
"kjv","29","3","13","Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great."
"kjv","29","3","14","Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision."
"kjv","29","3","15","The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining."
"kjv","29","3","16","The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel."
"kjv","29","3","17","So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more."
"kjv","29","3","18","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim."
"kjv","29","3","19","Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land."
"kjv","29","3","20","But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation."
"kjv","29","3","21","For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion."
"kjv","30","1","1","The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
"kjv","30","1","2","And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither."
"kjv","30","1","3","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:"
"kjv","30","1","4","But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad."
"kjv","30","1","5","I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","1","6","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:"
"kjv","30","1","7","But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:"
"kjv","30","1","8","And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","30","1","9","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:"
"kjv","30","1","10","But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof."
"kjv","30","1","11","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:"
"kjv","30","1","12","But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah."
"kjv","30","1","13","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:"
"kjv","30","1","14","But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:"
"kjv","30","1","15","And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","2","1","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:"
"kjv","30","2","2","But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:"
"kjv","30","2","3","And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","2","4","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:"
"kjv","30","2","5","But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
"kjv","30","2","6","Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;"
"kjv","30","2","7","That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:"
"kjv","30","2","8","And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god."
"kjv","30","2","9","Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath."
"kjv","30","2","10","Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite."
"kjv","30","2","11","And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","2","12","But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not."
"kjv","30","2","13","Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves."
"kjv","30","2","14","Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:"
"kjv","30","2","15","Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself."
"kjv","30","2","16","And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","3","1","Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,"
"kjv","30","3","2","You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."
"kjv","30","3","3","Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
"kjv","30","3","4","Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?"
"kjv","30","3","5","Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?"
"kjv","30","3","6","Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?"
"kjv","30","3","7","Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."
"kjv","30","3","8","The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?"
"kjv","30","3","9","Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof."
"kjv","30","3","10","For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces."
"kjv","30","3","11","Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled."
"kjv","30","3","12","Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch."
"kjv","30","3","13","Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,"
"kjv","30","3","14","That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground."
"kjv","30","3","15","And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","1","Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink."
"kjv","30","4","2","The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks."
"kjv","30","4","3","And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","4","Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:"
"kjv","30","4","5","And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","30","4","6","And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","7","And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered."
"kjv","30","4","8","So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","9","I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","10","I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","11","I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","4","12","Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel."
"kjv","30","4","13","For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name."
"kjv","30","5","1","Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel."
"kjv","30","5","2","The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up."
"kjv","30","5","3","For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel."
"kjv","30","5","4","For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:"
"kjv","30","5","5","But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought."
"kjv","30","5","6","Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel."
"kjv","30","5","7","Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,"
"kjv","30","5","8","Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:"
"kjv","30","5","9","That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress."
"kjv","30","5","10","They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly."
"kjv","30","5","11","Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them."
"kjv","30","5","12","For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right."
"kjv","30","5","13","Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time."
"kjv","30","5","14","Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken."
"kjv","30","5","15","Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph."
"kjv","30","5","16","Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing."
"kjv","30","5","17","And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","5","18","Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light."
"kjv","30","5","19","As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him."
"kjv","30","5","20","Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"
"kjv","30","5","21","I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies."
"kjv","30","5","22","Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts."
"kjv","30","5","23","Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols."
"kjv","30","5","24","But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."
"kjv","30","5","25","Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?"
"kjv","30","5","26","But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves."
"kjv","30","5","27","Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts."
"kjv","30","6","1","Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!"
"kjv","30","6","2","Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?"
"kjv","30","6","3","Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;"
"kjv","30","6","4","That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;"
"kjv","30","6","5","That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;"
"kjv","30","6","6","That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph."
"kjv","30","6","7","Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed."
"kjv","30","6","8","The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein."
"kjv","30","6","9","And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die."
"kjv","30","6","10","And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD."
"kjv","30","6","11","For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts."
"kjv","30","6","12","Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:"
"kjv","30","6","13","Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?"
"kjv","30","6","14","But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness."
"kjv","30","7","1","Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings."
"kjv","30","7","2","And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small."
"kjv","30","7","3","The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","7","4","Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part."
"kjv","30","7","5","Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small."
"kjv","30","7","6","The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD."
"kjv","30","7","7","Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand."
"kjv","30","7","8","And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:"
"kjv","30","7","9","And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
"kjv","30","7","10","Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words."
"kjv","30","7","11","For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land."
"kjv","30","7","12","Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:"
"kjv","30","7","13","But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court."
"kjv","30","7","14","Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:"
"kjv","30","7","15","And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel."
"kjv","30","7","16","Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac."
"kjv","30","7","17","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land."
"kjv","30","8","1","Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit."
"kjv","30","8","2","And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more."
"kjv","30","8","3","And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence."
"kjv","30","8","4","Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,"
"kjv","30","8","5","Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?"
"kjv","30","8","6","That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?"
"kjv","30","8","7","The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works."
"kjv","30","8","8","Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt."
"kjv","30","8","9","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"
"kjv","30","8","10","And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day."
"kjv","30","8","11","Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:"
"kjv","30","8","12","And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it."
"kjv","30","8","13","In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst."
"kjv","30","8","14","They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again."
"kjv","30","9","1","I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered."
"kjv","30","9","2","Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:"
"kjv","30","9","3","And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:"
"kjv","30","9","4","And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good."
"kjv","30","9","5","And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt."
"kjv","30","9","6","It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name."
"kjv","30","9","7","Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?"
"kjv","30","9","8","Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD."
"kjv","30","9","9","For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth."
"kjv","30","9","10","All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us."
"kjv","30","9","11","In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:"
"kjv","30","9","12","That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this."
"kjv","30","9","13","Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt."
"kjv","30","9","14","And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them."
"kjv","30","9","15","And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God."
"kjv","31","1","1","The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle."
"kjv","31","1","2","Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised."
"kjv","31","1","3","The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?"
"kjv","31","1","4","Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD."
"kjv","31","1","5","If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?"
"kjv","31","1","6","How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!"
"kjv","31","1","7","All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him."
"kjv","31","1","8","Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?"
"kjv","31","1","9","And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter."
"kjv","31","1","10","For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever."
"kjv","31","1","11","In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them."
"kjv","31","1","12","But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress."
"kjv","31","1","13","Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;"
"kjv","31","1","14","Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress."
"kjv","31","1","15","For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head."
"kjv","31","1","16","For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been."
"kjv","31","1","17","But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions."
"kjv","31","1","18","And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it."
"kjv","31","1","19","And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead."
"kjv","31","1","20","And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south."
"kjv","31","1","21","And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S."
"kjv","32","1","1","Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,"
"kjv","32","1","2","Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me."
"kjv","32","1","3","But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD."
"kjv","32","1","4","But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken."
"kjv","32","1","5","Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep."
"kjv","32","1","6","So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not."
"kjv","32","1","7","And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah."
"kjv","32","1","8","Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?"
"kjv","32","1","9","And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land."
"kjv","32","1","10","Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them."
"kjv","32","1","11","Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous."
"kjv","32","1","12","And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you."
"kjv","32","1","13","Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them."
"kjv","32","1","14","Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee."
"kjv","32","1","15","So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging."
"kjv","32","1","16","Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows."
"kjv","32","1","17","Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights."
"kjv","32","2","1","Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,"
"kjv","32","2","2","And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice."
"kjv","32","2","3","For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me."
"kjv","32","2","4","Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple."
"kjv","32","2","5","The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head."
"kjv","32","2","6","I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God."
"kjv","32","2","7","When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple."
"kjv","32","2","8","They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy."
"kjv","32","2","9","But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."
"kjv","32","2","10","And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land."
"kjv","32","3","1","And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,"
"kjv","32","3","2","Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee."
"kjv","32","3","3","So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey."
"kjv","32","3","4","And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown."
"kjv","32","3","5","So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them."
"kjv","32","3","6","For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes."
"kjv","32","3","7","And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:"
"kjv","32","3","8","But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands."
"kjv","32","3","9","Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?"
"kjv","32","3","10","And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not."
"kjv","32","4","1","But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry."
"kjv","32","4","2","And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil."
"kjv","32","4","3","Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
"kjv","32","4","4","Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?"
"kjv","32","4","5","So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city."
"kjv","32","4","6","And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd."
"kjv","32","4","7","But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered."
"kjv","32","4","8","And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live."
"kjv","32","4","9","And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death."
"kjv","32","4","10","Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:"
"kjv","32","4","11","And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?"
"kjv","33","1","1","The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem."
"kjv","33","1","2","Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple."
"kjv","33","1","3","For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth."
"kjv","33","1","4","And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place."
"kjv","33","1","5","For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?"
"kjv","33","1","6","Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof."
"kjv","33","1","7","And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot."
"kjv","33","1","8","Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls."
"kjv","33","1","9","For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem."
"kjv","33","1","10","Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust."
"kjv","33","1","11","Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing."
"kjv","33","1","12","For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem."
"kjv","33","1","13","O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee."
"kjv","33","1","14","Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel."
"kjv","33","1","15","Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel."
"kjv","33","1","16","Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee."
"kjv","33","2","1","Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand."
"kjv","33","2","2","And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage."
"kjv","33","2","3","Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil."
"kjv","33","2","4","In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields."
"kjv","33","2","5","Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD."
"kjv","33","2","6","Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame."
"kjv","33","2","7","O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?"
"kjv","33","2","8","Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war."
"kjv","33","2","9","The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever."
"kjv","33","2","10","Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction."
"kjv","33","2","11","If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people."
"kjv","33","2","12","I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men."
"kjv","33","2","13","The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them."
"kjv","33","3","1","And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?"
"kjv","33","3","2","Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;"
"kjv","33","3","3","Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron."
"kjv","33","3","4","Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings."
"kjv","33","3","5","Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him."
"kjv","33","3","6","Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them."
"kjv","33","3","7","Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God."
"kjv","33","3","8","But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin."
"kjv","33","3","9","Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity."
"kjv","33","3","10","They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity."
"kjv","33","3","11","The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us."
"kjv","33","3","12","Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest."
"kjv","33","4","1","But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it."
"kjv","33","4","2","And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
"kjv","33","4","3","And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
"kjv","33","4","4","But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it."
"kjv","33","4","5","For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever."
"kjv","33","4","6","In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;"
"kjv","33","4","7","And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever."
"kjv","33","4","8","And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem."
"kjv","33","4","9","Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail."
"kjv","33","4","10","Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies."
"kjv","33","4","11","Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion."
"kjv","33","4","12","But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor."
"kjv","33","4","13","Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth."
"kjv","33","5","1","Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek."
"kjv","33","5","2","But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
"kjv","33","5","3","Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel."
"kjv","33","5","4","And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth."
"kjv","33","5","5","And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men."
"kjv","33","5","6","And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders."
"kjv","33","5","7","And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men."
"kjv","33","5","8","And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver."
"kjv","33","5","9","Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off."
"kjv","33","5","10","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:"
"kjv","33","5","11","And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:"
"kjv","33","5","12","And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:"
"kjv","33","5","13","Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands."
"kjv","33","5","14","And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities."
"kjv","33","5","15","And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard."
"kjv","33","6","1","Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice."
"kjv","33","6","2","Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel."
"kjv","33","6","3","O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me."
"kjv","33","6","4","For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam."
"kjv","33","6","5","O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD."
"kjv","33","6","6","Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?"
"kjv","33","6","7","Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
"kjv","33","6","8","He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
"kjv","33","6","9","The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it."
"kjv","33","6","10","Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?"
"kjv","33","6","11","Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?"
"kjv","33","6","12","For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth."
"kjv","33","6","13","Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins."
"kjv","33","6","14","Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword."
"kjv","33","6","15","Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine."
"kjv","33","6","16","For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people."
"kjv","33","7","1","Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit."
"kjv","33","7","2","The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net."
"kjv","33","7","3","That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up."
"kjv","33","7","4","The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity."
"kjv","33","7","5","Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom."
"kjv","33","7","6","For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house."
"kjv","33","7","7","Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me."
"kjv","33","7","8","Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me."
"kjv","33","7","9","I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness."
"kjv","33","7","10","Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets."
"kjv","33","7","11","In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed."
"kjv","33","7","12","In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain."
"kjv","33","7","13","Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings."
"kjv","33","7","14","Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old."
"kjv","33","7","15","According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things."
"kjv","33","7","16","The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf."
"kjv","33","7","17","They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee."
"kjv","33","7","18","Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy."
"kjv","33","7","19","He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."
"kjv","33","7","20","Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old."
"kjv","34","1","1","The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite."
"kjv","34","1","2","God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies."
"kjv","34","1","3","The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet."
"kjv","34","1","4","He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth."
"kjv","34","1","5","The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein."
"kjv","34","1","6","Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him."
"kjv","34","1","7","The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him."
"kjv","34","1","8","But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies."
"kjv","34","1","9","What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time."
"kjv","34","1","10","For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry."
"kjv","34","1","11","There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor."
"kjv","34","1","12","Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more."
"kjv","34","1","13","For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder."
"kjv","34","1","14","And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile."
"kjv","34","1","15","Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off."
"kjv","34","2","1","He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily."
"kjv","34","2","2","For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches."
"kjv","34","2","3","The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken."
"kjv","34","2","4","The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings."
"kjv","34","2","5","He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared."
"kjv","34","2","6","The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved."
"kjv","34","2","7","And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts."
"kjv","34","2","8","But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back."
"kjv","34","2","9","Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture."
"kjv","34","2","10","She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness."
"kjv","34","2","11","Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?"
"kjv","34","2","12","The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin."
"kjv","34","2","13","Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard."
"kjv","34","3","1","Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;"
"kjv","34","3","2","The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots."
"kjv","34","3","3","The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:"
"kjv","34","3","4","Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts."
"kjv","34","3","5","Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame."
"kjv","34","3","6","And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock."
"kjv","34","3","7","And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?"
"kjv","34","3","8","Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?"
"kjv","34","3","9","Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers."
"kjv","34","3","10","Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains."
"kjv","34","3","11","Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy."
"kjv","34","3","12","All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater."
"kjv","34","3","13","Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars."
"kjv","34","3","14","Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brickkiln."
"kjv","34","3","15","There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts."
"kjv","34","3","16","Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away."
"kjv","34","3","17","Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are."
"kjv","34","3","18","Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them."
"kjv","34","3","19","There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?"
"kjv","35","1","1","The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see."
"kjv","35","1","2","O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!"
"kjv","35","1","3","Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention."
"kjv","35","1","4","Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth."
"kjv","35","1","5","Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you."
"kjv","35","1","6","For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs."
"kjv","35","1","7","They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves."
"kjv","35","1","8","Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat."
"kjv","35","1","9","They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand."
"kjv","35","1","10","And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it."
"kjv","35","1","11","Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god."
"kjv","35","1","12","Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction."
"kjv","35","1","13","Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?"
"kjv","35","1","14","And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?"
"kjv","35","1","15","They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad."
"kjv","35","1","16","Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous."
"kjv","35","1","17","Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?"
"kjv","35","2","1","I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved."
"kjv","35","2","2","And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it."
"kjv","35","2","3","For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
"kjv","35","2","4","Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith."
"kjv","35","2","5","Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:"
"kjv","35","2","6","Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!"
"kjv","35","2","7","Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?"
"kjv","35","2","8","Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein."
"kjv","35","2","9","Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!"
"kjv","35","2","10","Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul."
"kjv","35","2","11","For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it."
"kjv","35","2","12","Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!"
"kjv","35","2","13","Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?"
"kjv","35","2","14","For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
"kjv","35","2","15","Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!"
"kjv","35","2","16","Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory."
"kjv","35","2","17","For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein."
"kjv","35","2","18","What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?"
"kjv","35","2","19","Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it."
"kjv","35","2","20","But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him."
"kjv","35","3","1","A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth."
"kjv","35","3","2","O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy."
"kjv","35","3","3","God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise."
"kjv","35","3","4","And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power."
"kjv","35","3","5","Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet."
"kjv","35","3","6","He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting."
"kjv","35","3","7","I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble."
"kjv","35","3","8","Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?"
"kjv","35","3","9","Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers."
"kjv","35","3","10","The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high."
"kjv","35","3","11","The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear."
"kjv","35","3","12","Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger."
"kjv","35","3","13","Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah."
"kjv","35","3","14","Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly."
"kjv","35","3","15","Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters."
"kjv","35","3","16","When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops."
"kjv","35","3","17","Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:"
"kjv","35","3","18","Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation."
"kjv","35","3","19","The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments."
"kjv","36","1","1","The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah."
"kjv","36","1","2","I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD."
"kjv","36","1","3","I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD."
"kjv","36","1","4","I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;"
"kjv","36","1","5","And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;"
"kjv","36","1","6","And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him."
"kjv","36","1","7","Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests."
"kjv","36","1","8","And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel."
"kjv","36","1","9","In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit."
"kjv","36","1","10","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills."
"kjv","36","1","11","Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off."
"kjv","36","1","12","And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil."
"kjv","36","1","13","Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof."
"kjv","36","1","14","The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly."
"kjv","36","1","15","That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"
"kjv","36","1","16","A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers."
"kjv","36","1","17","And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung."
"kjv","36","1","18","Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land."
"kjv","36","2","1","Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;"
"kjv","36","2","2","Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you."
"kjv","36","2","3","Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger."
"kjv","36","2","4","For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up."
"kjv","36","2","5","Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant."
"kjv","36","2","6","And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks."
"kjv","36","2","7","And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity."
"kjv","36","2","8","I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border."
"kjv","36","2","9","Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them."
"kjv","36","2","10","This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","36","2","11","The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen."
"kjv","36","2","12","Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword."
"kjv","36","2","13","And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness."
"kjv","36","2","14","And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work."
"kjv","36","2","15","This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand."
"kjv","36","3","1","Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!"
"kjv","36","3","2","She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God."
"kjv","36","3","3","Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow."
"kjv","36","3","4","Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law."
"kjv","36","3","5","The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame."
"kjv","36","3","6","I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant."
"kjv","36","3","7","I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings."
"kjv","36","3","8","Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy."
"kjv","36","3","9","For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent."
"kjv","36","3","10","From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering."
"kjv","36","3","11","In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain."
"kjv","36","3","12","I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD."
"kjv","36","3","13","The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
"kjv","36","3","14","Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem."
"kjv","36","3","15","The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more."
"kjv","36","3","16","In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack."
"kjv","36","3","17","The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."
"kjv","36","3","18","I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden."
"kjv","36","3","19","Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame."
"kjv","36","3","20","At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD."
"kjv","37","1","1","In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,"
"kjv","37","1","2","Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built."
"kjv","37","1","3","Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","37","1","4","Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?"
"kjv","37","1","5","Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways."
"kjv","37","1","6","Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes."
"kjv","37","1","7","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways."
"kjv","37","1","8","Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD."
"kjv","37","1","9","Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house."
"kjv","37","1","10","Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit."
"kjv","37","1","11","And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands."
"kjv","37","1","12","Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD."
"kjv","37","1","13","Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD."
"kjv","37","1","14","And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,"
"kjv","37","1","15","In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king."
"kjv","37","2","1","In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,"
"kjv","37","2","2","Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,"
"kjv","37","2","3","Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?"
"kjv","37","2","4","Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:"
"kjv","37","2","5","According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not."
"kjv","37","2","6","For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;"
"kjv","37","2","7","And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","37","2","8","The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","37","2","9","The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","37","2","10","In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","37","2","11","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,"
"kjv","37","2","12","If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No."
"kjv","37","2","13","Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean."
"kjv","37","2","14","Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean."
"kjv","37","2","15","And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:"
"kjv","37","2","16","Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty."
"kjv","37","2","17","I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","37","2","18","Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it."
"kjv","37","2","19","Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you."
"kjv","37","2","20","And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,"
"kjv","37","2","21","Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;"
"kjv","37","2","22","And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother."
"kjv","37","2","23","In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","38","1","1","In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","38","1","2","The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers."
"kjv","38","1","3","Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","38","1","4","Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD."
"kjv","38","1","5","Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?"
"kjv","38","1","6","But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us."
"kjv","38","1","7","Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","38","1","8","I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white."
"kjv","38","1","9","Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be."
"kjv","38","1","10","And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth."
"kjv","38","1","11","And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest."
"kjv","38","1","12","Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?"
"kjv","38","1","13","And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words."
"kjv","38","1","14","So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy."
"kjv","38","1","15","And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction."
"kjv","38","1","16","Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem."
"kjv","38","1","17","Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem."
"kjv","38","1","18","Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns."
"kjv","38","1","19","And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
"kjv","38","1","20","And the LORD shewed me four carpenters."
"kjv","38","1","21","Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it."
"kjv","38","2","1","I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand."
"kjv","38","2","2","Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof."
"kjv","38","2","3","And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,"
"kjv","38","2","4","And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:"
"kjv","38","2","5","For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her."
"kjv","38","2","6","Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD."
"kjv","38","2","7","Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon."
"kjv","38","2","8","For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye."
"kjv","38","2","9","For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me."
"kjv","38","2","10","Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD."
"kjv","38","2","11","And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee."
"kjv","38","2","12","And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again."
"kjv","38","2","13","Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation."
"kjv","38","3","1","And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him."
"kjv","38","3","2","And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?"
"kjv","38","3","3","Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel."
"kjv","38","3","4","And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment."
"kjv","38","3","5","And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by."
"kjv","38","3","6","And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,"
"kjv","38","3","7","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by."
"kjv","38","3","8","Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH."
"kjv","38","3","9","For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day."
"kjv","38","3","10","In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree."
"kjv","38","4","1","And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,"
"kjv","38","4","2","And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:"
"kjv","38","4","3","And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof."
"kjv","38","4","4","So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?"
"kjv","38","4","5","Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord."
"kjv","38","4","6","Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","38","4","7","Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it."
"kjv","38","4","8","Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","38","4","9","The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you."
"kjv","38","4","10","For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."
"kjv","38","4","11","Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?"
"kjv","38","4","12","And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?"
"kjv","38","4","13","And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord."
"kjv","38","4","14","Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
"kjv","38","5","1","Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll."
"kjv","38","5","2","And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits."
"kjv","38","5","3","Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it."
"kjv","38","5","4","I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof."
"kjv","38","5","5","Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth."
"kjv","38","5","6","And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth."
"kjv","38","5","7","And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah."
"kjv","38","5","8","And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof."
"kjv","38","5","9","Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven."
"kjv","38","5","10","Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?"
"kjv","38","5","11","And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base."
"kjv","38","6","1","And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass."
"kjv","38","6","2","In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;"
"kjv","38","6","3","And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses."
"kjv","38","6","4","Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?"
"kjv","38","6","5","And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth."
"kjv","38","6","6","The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country."
"kjv","38","6","7","And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth."
"kjv","38","6","8","Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
"kjv","38","6","9","And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","38","6","10","Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;"
"kjv","38","6","11","Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;"
"kjv","38","6","12","And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:"
"kjv","38","6","13","Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."
"kjv","38","6","14","And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD."
"kjv","38","6","15","And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God."
"kjv","38","7","1","And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;"
"kjv","38","7","2","When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,"
"kjv","38","7","3","And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"
"kjv","38","7","4","Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,"
"kjv","38","7","5","Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?"
"kjv","38","7","6","And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?"
"kjv","38","7","7","Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?"
"kjv","38","7","8","And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,"
"kjv","38","7","9","Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:"
"kjv","38","7","10","And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart."
"kjv","38","7","11","But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear."
"kjv","38","7","12","Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","38","7","13","Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:"
"kjv","38","7","14","But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate."
"kjv","38","8","1","Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,"
"kjv","38","8","2","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury."
"kjv","38","8","3","Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain."
"kjv","38","8","4","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age."
"kjv","38","8","5","And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof."
"kjv","38","8","6","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","38","8","7","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;"
"kjv","38","8","8","And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."
"kjv","38","8","9","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built."
"kjv","38","8","10","For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour."
"kjv","38","8","11","But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","38","8","12","For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things."
"kjv","38","8","13","And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong."
"kjv","38","8","14","For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:"
"kjv","38","8","15","So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not."
"kjv","38","8","16","These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:"
"kjv","38","8","17","And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD."
"kjv","38","8","18","And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,"
"kjv","38","8","19","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace."
"kjv","38","8","20","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:"
"kjv","38","8","21","And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also."
"kjv","38","8","22","Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD."
"kjv","38","8","23","Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you."
"kjv","38","9","1","The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD."
"kjv","38","9","2","And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise."
"kjv","38","9","3","And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets."
"kjv","38","9","4","Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire."
"kjv","38","9","5","Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited."
"kjv","38","9","6","And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines."
"kjv","38","9","7","And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite."
"kjv","38","9","8","And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes."
"kjv","38","9","9","Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."
"kjv","38","9","10","And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth."
"kjv","38","9","11","As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water."
"kjv","38","9","12","Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;"
"kjv","38","9","13","When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man."
"kjv","38","9","14","And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south."
"kjv","38","9","15","The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar."
"kjv","38","9","16","And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land."
"kjv","38","9","17","For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids."
"kjv","38","10","1","Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field."
"kjv","38","10","2","For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd."
"kjv","38","10","3","Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle."
"kjv","38","10","4","Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together."
"kjv","38","10","5","And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded."
"kjv","38","10","6","And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them."
"kjv","38","10","7","And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD."
"kjv","38","10","8","I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased."
"kjv","38","10","9","And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again."
"kjv","38","10","10","I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them."
"kjv","38","10","11","And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away."
"kjv","38","10","12","And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD."
"kjv","38","11","1","Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars."
"kjv","38","11","2","Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down."
"kjv","38","11","3","There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled."
"kjv","38","11","4","Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;"
"kjv","38","11","5","Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not."
"kjv","38","11","6","For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them."
"kjv","38","11","7","And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock."
"kjv","38","11","8","Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me."
"kjv","38","11","9","Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another."
"kjv","38","11","10","And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people."
"kjv","38","11","11","And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD."
"kjv","38","11","12","And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver."
"kjv","38","11","13","And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD."
"kjv","38","11","14","Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel."
"kjv","38","11","15","And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd."
"kjv","38","11","16","For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces."
"kjv","38","11","17","Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened."
"kjv","38","12","1","The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him."
"kjv","38","12","2","Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem."
"kjv","38","12","3","And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."
"kjv","38","12","4","In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness."
"kjv","38","12","5","And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God."
"kjv","38","12","6","In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem."
"kjv","38","12","7","The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah."
"kjv","38","12","8","In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them."
"kjv","38","12","9","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."
"kjv","38","12","10","And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn."
"kjv","38","12","11","In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon."
"kjv","38","12","12","And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;"
"kjv","38","12","13","The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;"
"kjv","38","12","14","All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart."
"kjv","38","13","1","In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."
"kjv","38","13","2","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land."
"kjv","38","13","3","And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth."
"kjv","38","13","4","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:"
"kjv","38","13","5","But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth."
"kjv","38","13","6","And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends."
"kjv","38","13","7","Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones."
"kjv","38","13","8","And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein."
"kjv","38","13","9","And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God."
"kjv","38","14","1","Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee."
"kjv","38","14","2","For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
"kjv","38","14","3","Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle."
"kjv","38","14","4","And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."
"kjv","38","14","5","And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."
"kjv","38","14","6","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:"
"kjv","38","14","7","But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
"kjv","38","14","8","And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be."
"kjv","38","14","9","And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one."
"kjv","38","14","10","All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses."
"kjv","38","14","11","And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited."
"kjv","38","14","12","And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."
"kjv","38","14","13","And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour."
"kjv","38","14","14","And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance."
"kjv","38","14","15","And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague."
"kjv","38","14","16","And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles."
"kjv","38","14","17","And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain."
"kjv","38","14","18","And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."
"kjv","38","14","19","This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."
"kjv","38","14","20","In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar."
"kjv","38","14","21","Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","1","1","The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi."
"kjv","39","1","2","I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,"
"kjv","39","1","3","And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness."
"kjv","39","1","4","Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever."
"kjv","39","1","5","And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel."
"kjv","39","1","6","A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?"
"kjv","39","1","7","Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible."
"kjv","39","1","8","And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","1","9","And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","1","10","Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand."
"kjv","39","1","11","For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","1","12","But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible."
"kjv","39","1","13","Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD."
"kjv","39","1","14","But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen."
"kjv","39","2","1","And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you."
"kjv","39","2","2","If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart."
"kjv","39","2","3","Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it."
"kjv","39","2","4","And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","2","5","My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name."
"kjv","39","2","6","The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity."
"kjv","39","2","7","For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","2","8","But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","2","9","Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law."
"kjv","39","2","10","Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?"
"kjv","39","2","11","Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god."
"kjv","39","2","12","The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","2","13","And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand."
"kjv","39","2","14","Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant."
"kjv","39","2","15","And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth."
"kjv","39","2","16","For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously."
"kjv","39","2","17","Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?"
"kjv","39","3","1","Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","3","2","But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:"
"kjv","39","3","3","And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness."
"kjv","39","3","4","Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years."
"kjv","39","3","5","And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","3","6","For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."
"kjv","39","3","7","Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?"
"kjv","39","3","8","Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
"kjv","39","3","9","Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."
"kjv","39","3","10","Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
"kjv","39","3","11","And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","3","12","And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","3","13","Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?"
"kjv","39","3","14","Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?"
"kjv","39","3","15","And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered."
"kjv","39","3","16","Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name."
"kjv","39","3","17","And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."
"kjv","39","3","18","Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."
"kjv","39","4","1","For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
"kjv","39","4","2","But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
"kjv","39","4","3","And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."
"kjv","39","4","4","Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments."
"kjv","39","4","5","Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:"
"kjv","39","4","6","And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
"kjv","40","1","1","The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
"kjv","40","1","2","Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;"
"kjv","40","1","3","And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;"
"kjv","40","1","4","And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;"
"kjv","40","1","5","And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;"
"kjv","40","1","6","And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;"
"kjv","40","1","7","And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;"
"kjv","40","1","8","And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;"
"kjv","40","1","9","And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;"
"kjv","40","1","10","And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;"
"kjv","40","1","11","And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:"
"kjv","40","1","12","And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;"
"kjv","40","1","13","And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;"
"kjv","40","1","14","And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;"
"kjv","40","1","15","And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;"
"kjv","40","1","16","And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."
"kjv","40","1","17","So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations."
"kjv","40","1","18","Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","40","1","19","Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily."
"kjv","40","1","20","But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","40","1","21","And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
"kjv","40","1","22","Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","40","1","23","Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
"kjv","40","1","24","Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:"
"kjv","40","1","25","And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS."
"kjv","40","2","1","Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,"
"kjv","40","2","2","Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
"kjv","40","2","3","When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him."
"kjv","40","2","4","And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born."
"kjv","40","2","5","And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,"
"kjv","40","2","6","And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel."
"kjv","40","2","7","Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared."
"kjv","40","2","8","And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also."
"kjv","40","2","9","When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was."
"kjv","40","2","10","When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
"kjv","40","2","11","And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."
"kjv","40","2","12","And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way."
"kjv","40","2","13","And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
"kjv","40","2","14","When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:"
"kjv","40","2","15","And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son."
"kjv","40","2","16","Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men."
"kjv","40","2","17","Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","40","2","18","In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not."
"kjv","40","2","19","But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,"
"kjv","40","2","20","Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life."
"kjv","40","2","21","And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel."
"kjv","40","2","22","But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:"
"kjv","40","2","23","And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene."
"kjv","40","3","1","In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,"
"kjv","40","3","2","And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"kjv","40","3","3","For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
"kjv","40","3","4","And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey."
"kjv","40","3","5","Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,"
"kjv","40","3","6","And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins."
"kjv","40","3","7","But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"
"kjv","40","3","8","Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:"
"kjv","40","3","9","And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
"kjv","40","3","10","And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
"kjv","40","3","11","I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"
"kjv","40","3","12","Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
"kjv","40","3","13","Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him."
"kjv","40","3","14","But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?"
"kjv","40","3","15","And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him."
"kjv","40","3","16","And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:"
"kjv","40","3","17","And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
"kjv","40","4","1","Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil."
"kjv","40","4","2","And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered."
"kjv","40","4","3","And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."
"kjv","40","4","4","But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
"kjv","40","4","5","Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,"
"kjv","40","4","6","And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."
"kjv","40","4","7","Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
"kjv","40","4","8","Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"
"kjv","40","4","9","And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."
"kjv","40","4","10","Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
"kjv","40","4","11","Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."
"kjv","40","4","12","Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;"
"kjv","40","4","13","And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:"
"kjv","40","4","14","That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","40","4","15","The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;"
"kjv","40","4","16","The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."
"kjv","40","4","17","From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"kjv","40","4","18","And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers."
"kjv","40","4","19","And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
"kjv","40","4","20","And they straightway left their nets, and followed him."
"kjv","40","4","21","And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them."
"kjv","40","4","22","And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him."
"kjv","40","4","23","And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people."
"kjv","40","4","24","And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."
"kjv","40","4","25","And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan."
"kjv","40","5","1","And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:"
"kjv","40","5","2","And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,"
"kjv","40","5","3","Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","5","4","Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
"kjv","40","5","5","Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
"kjv","40","5","6","Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
"kjv","40","5","7","Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."
"kjv","40","5","8","Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
"kjv","40","5","9","Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
"kjv","40","5","10","Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","5","11","Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
"kjv","40","5","12","Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
"kjv","40","5","13","Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
"kjv","40","5","14","Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."
"kjv","40","5","15","Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."
"kjv","40","5","16","Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","5","17","Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
"kjv","40","5","18","For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
"kjv","40","5","19","Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","5","20","For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","5","21","Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:"
"kjv","40","5","22","But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
"kjv","40","5","23","Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;"
"kjv","40","5","24","Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."
"kjv","40","5","25","Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."
"kjv","40","5","26","Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing."
"kjv","40","5","27","Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:"
"kjv","40","5","28","But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
"kjv","40","5","29","And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."
"kjv","40","5","30","And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."
"kjv","40","5","31","It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:"
"kjv","40","5","32","But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."
"kjv","40","5","33","Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:"
"kjv","40","5","34","But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:"
"kjv","40","5","35","Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King."
"kjv","40","5","36","Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black."
"kjv","40","5","37","But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
"kjv","40","5","38","Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:"
"kjv","40","5","39","But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
"kjv","40","5","40","And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also."
"kjv","40","5","41","And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain."
"kjv","40","5","42","Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."
"kjv","40","5","43","Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy."
"kjv","40","5","44","But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
"kjv","40","5","45","That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
"kjv","40","5","46","For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"
"kjv","40","5","47","And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"
"kjv","40","5","48","Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
"kjv","40","6","1","Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","6","2","Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."
"kjv","40","6","3","But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:"
"kjv","40","6","4","That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly."
"kjv","40","6","5","And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."
"kjv","40","6","6","But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
"kjv","40","6","7","But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
"kjv","40","6","8","Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."
"kjv","40","6","9","After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
"kjv","40","6","10","Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
"kjv","40","6","11","Give us this day our daily bread."
"kjv","40","6","12","And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
"kjv","40","6","13","And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
"kjv","40","6","14","For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:"
"kjv","40","6","15","But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
"kjv","40","6","16","Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."
"kjv","40","6","17","But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;"
"kjv","40","6","18","That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly."
"kjv","40","6","19","Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:"
"kjv","40","6","20","But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"
"kjv","40","6","21","For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
"kjv","40","6","22","The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
"kjv","40","6","23","But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"
"kjv","40","6","24","No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"kjv","40","6","25","Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"
"kjv","40","6","26","Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"
"kjv","40","6","27","Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"
"kjv","40","6","28","And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:"
"kjv","40","6","29","And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
"kjv","40","6","30","Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
"kjv","40","6","31","Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
"kjv","40","6","32","(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
"kjv","40","6","33","But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
"kjv","40","6","34","Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
"kjv","40","7","1","Judge not, that ye be not judged."
"kjv","40","7","2","For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
"kjv","40","7","3","And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
"kjv","40","7","4","Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?"
"kjv","40","7","5","Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
"kjv","40","7","6","Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."
"kjv","40","7","7","Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
"kjv","40","7","8","For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
"kjv","40","7","9","Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?"
"kjv","40","7","10","Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?"
"kjv","40","7","11","If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"
"kjv","40","7","12","Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
"kjv","40","7","13","Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:"
"kjv","40","7","14","Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
"kjv","40","7","15","Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
"kjv","40","7","16","Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
"kjv","40","7","17","Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."
"kjv","40","7","18","A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
"kjv","40","7","19","Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
"kjv","40","7","20","Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
"kjv","40","7","21","Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","7","22","Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
"kjv","40","7","23","And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
"kjv","40","7","24","Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"
"kjv","40","7","25","And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."
"kjv","40","7","26","And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:"
"kjv","40","7","27","And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."
"kjv","40","7","28","And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:"
"kjv","40","7","29","For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes."
"kjv","40","8","1","When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him."
"kjv","40","8","2","And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
"kjv","40","8","3","And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed."
"kjv","40","8","4","And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
"kjv","40","8","5","And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,"
"kjv","40","8","6","And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented."
"kjv","40","8","7","And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him."
"kjv","40","8","8","The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."
"kjv","40","8","9","For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."
"kjv","40","8","10","When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."
"kjv","40","8","11","And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","8","12","But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
"kjv","40","8","13","And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour."
"kjv","40","8","14","And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever."
"kjv","40","8","15","And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them."
"kjv","40","8","16","When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:"
"kjv","40","8","17","That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
"kjv","40","8","18","Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side."
"kjv","40","8","19","And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest."
"kjv","40","8","20","And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
"kjv","40","8","21","And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."
"kjv","40","8","22","But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."
"kjv","40","8","23","And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him."
"kjv","40","8","24","And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep."
"kjv","40","8","25","And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish."
"kjv","40","8","26","And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm."
"kjv","40","8","27","But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"
"kjv","40","8","28","And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way."
"kjv","40","8","29","And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?"
"kjv","40","8","30","And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding."
"kjv","40","8","31","So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine."
"kjv","40","8","32","And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters."
"kjv","40","8","33","And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils."
"kjv","40","8","34","And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts."
"kjv","40","9","1","And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city."
"kjv","40","9","2","And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."
"kjv","40","9","3","And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth."
"kjv","40","9","4","And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"
"kjv","40","9","5","For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?"
"kjv","40","9","6","But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house."
"kjv","40","9","7","And he arose, and departed to his house."
"kjv","40","9","8","But when the multitude saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men."
"kjv","40","9","9","And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."
"kjv","40","9","10","And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples."
"kjv","40","9","11","And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?"
"kjv","40","9","12","But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick."
"kjv","40","9","13","But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
"kjv","40","9","14","Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?"
"kjv","40","9","15","And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast."
"kjv","40","9","16","No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse."
"kjv","40","9","17","Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved."
"kjv","40","9","18","While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live."
"kjv","40","9","19","And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples."
"kjv","40","9","20","And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:"
"kjv","40","9","21","For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole."
"kjv","40","9","22","But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour."
"kjv","40","9","23","And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,"
"kjv","40","9","24","He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn."
"kjv","40","9","25","But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose."
"kjv","40","9","26","And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land."
"kjv","40","9","27","And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us."
"kjv","40","9","28","And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord."
"kjv","40","9","29","Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you."
"kjv","40","9","30","And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it."
"kjv","40","9","31","But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country."
"kjv","40","9","32","As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil."
"kjv","40","9","33","And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel."
"kjv","40","9","34","But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils."
"kjv","40","9","35","And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."
"kjv","40","9","36","But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."
"kjv","40","9","37","Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;"
"kjv","40","9","38","Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
"kjv","40","10","1","And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."
"kjv","40","10","2","Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;"
"kjv","40","10","3","Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;"
"kjv","40","10","4","Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him."
"kjv","40","10","5","These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:"
"kjv","40","10","6","But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
"kjv","40","10","7","And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"kjv","40","10","8","Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
"kjv","40","10","9","Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,"
"kjv","40","10","10","Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat."
"kjv","40","10","11","And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence."
"kjv","40","10","12","And when ye come into an house, salute it."
"kjv","40","10","13","And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you."
"kjv","40","10","14","And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet."
"kjv","40","10","15","Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."
"kjv","40","10","16","Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
"kjv","40","10","17","But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;"
"kjv","40","10","18","And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles."
"kjv","40","10","19","But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak."
"kjv","40","10","20","For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you."
"kjv","40","10","21","And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death."
"kjv","40","10","22","And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."
"kjv","40","10","23","But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come."
"kjv","40","10","24","The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord."
"kjv","40","10","25","It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?"
"kjv","40","10","26","Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."
"kjv","40","10","27","What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops."
"kjv","40","10","28","And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
"kjv","40","10","29","Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father."
"kjv","40","10","30","But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
"kjv","40","10","31","Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."
"kjv","40","10","32","Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","10","33","But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","10","34","Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."
"kjv","40","10","35","For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."
"kjv","40","10","36","And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."
"kjv","40","10","37","He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
"kjv","40","10","38","And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."
"kjv","40","10","39","He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
"kjv","40","10","40","He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
"kjv","40","10","41","He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward."
"kjv","40","10","42","And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."
"kjv","40","11","1","And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities."
"kjv","40","11","2","Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,"
"kjv","40","11","3","And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?"
"kjv","40","11","4","Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:"
"kjv","40","11","5","The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."
"kjv","40","11","6","And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me."
"kjv","40","11","7","And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?"
"kjv","40","11","8","But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses."
"kjv","40","11","9","But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet."
"kjv","40","11","10","For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee."
"kjv","40","11","11","Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
"kjv","40","11","12","And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
"kjv","40","11","13","For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John."
"kjv","40","11","14","And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come."
"kjv","40","11","15","He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","40","11","16","But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,"
"kjv","40","11","17","And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented."
"kjv","40","11","18","For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil."
"kjv","40","11","19","The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children."
"kjv","40","11","20","Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:"
"kjv","40","11","21","Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes."
"kjv","40","11","22","But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you."
"kjv","40","11","23","And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day."
"kjv","40","11","24","But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."
"kjv","40","11","25","At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes."
"kjv","40","11","26","Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight."
"kjv","40","11","27","All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him."
"kjv","40","11","28","Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
"kjv","40","11","29","Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
"kjv","40","11","30","For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
"kjv","40","12","1","At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat."
"kjv","40","12","2","But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day."
"kjv","40","12","3","But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;"
"kjv","40","12","4","How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?"
"kjv","40","12","5","Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?"
"kjv","40","12","6","But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple."
"kjv","40","12","7","But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless."
"kjv","40","12","8","For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day."
"kjv","40","12","9","And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:"
"kjv","40","12","10","And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him."
"kjv","40","12","11","And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?"
"kjv","40","12","12","How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days."
"kjv","40","12","13","Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other."
"kjv","40","12","14","Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him."
"kjv","40","12","15","But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;"
"kjv","40","12","16","And charged them that they should not make him known:"
"kjv","40","12","17","That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","40","12","18","Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles."
"kjv","40","12","19","He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets."
"kjv","40","12","20","A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory."
"kjv","40","12","21","And in his name shall the Gentiles trust."
"kjv","40","12","22","Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw."
"kjv","40","12","23","And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?"
"kjv","40","12","24","But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."
"kjv","40","12","25","And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:"
"kjv","40","12","26","And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?"
"kjv","40","12","27","And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges."
"kjv","40","12","28","But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you."
"kjv","40","12","29","Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house."
"kjv","40","12","30","He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad."
"kjv","40","12","31","Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."
"kjv","40","12","32","And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."
"kjv","40","12","33","Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit."
"kjv","40","12","34","O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
"kjv","40","12","35","A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
"kjv","40","12","36","But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."
"kjv","40","12","37","For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
"kjv","40","12","38","Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee."
"kjv","40","12","39","But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:"
"kjv","40","12","40","For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
"kjv","40","12","41","The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here."
"kjv","40","12","42","The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
"kjv","40","12","43","When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none."
"kjv","40","12","44","Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished."
"kjv","40","12","45","Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."
"kjv","40","12","46","While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him."
"kjv","40","12","47","Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee."
"kjv","40","12","48","But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?"
"kjv","40","12","49","And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!"
"kjv","40","12","50","For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
"kjv","40","13","1","The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side."
"kjv","40","13","2","And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore."
"kjv","40","13","3","And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;"
"kjv","40","13","4","And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:"
"kjv","40","13","5","Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:"
"kjv","40","13","6","And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away."
"kjv","40","13","7","And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:"
"kjv","40","13","8","But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold."
"kjv","40","13","9","Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","40","13","10","And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?"
"kjv","40","13","11","He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
"kjv","40","13","12","For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath."
"kjv","40","13","13","Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
"kjv","40","13","14","And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:"
"kjv","40","13","15","For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
"kjv","40","13","16","But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear."
"kjv","40","13","17","For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them."
"kjv","40","13","18","Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower."
"kjv","40","13","19","When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side."
"kjv","40","13","20","But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;"
"kjv","40","13","21","Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended."
"kjv","40","13","22","He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."
"kjv","40","13","23","But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
"kjv","40","13","24","Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:"
"kjv","40","13","25","But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way."
"kjv","40","13","26","But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also."
"kjv","40","13","27","So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?"
"kjv","40","13","28","He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?"
"kjv","40","13","29","But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them."
"kjv","40","13","30","Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."
"kjv","40","13","31","Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:"
"kjv","40","13","32","Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."
"kjv","40","13","33","Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
"kjv","40","13","34","All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:"
"kjv","40","13","35","That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."
"kjv","40","13","36","Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field."
"kjv","40","13","37","He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;"
"kjv","40","13","38","The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;"
"kjv","40","13","39","The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."
"kjv","40","13","40","As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world."
"kjv","40","13","41","The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;"
"kjv","40","13","42","And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
"kjv","40","13","43","Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","40","13","44","Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field."
"kjv","40","13","45","Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:"
"kjv","40","13","46","Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."
"kjv","40","13","47","Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:"
"kjv","40","13","48","Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away."
"kjv","40","13","49","So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,"
"kjv","40","13","50","And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
"kjv","40","13","51","Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord."
"kjv","40","13","52","Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old."
"kjv","40","13","53","And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence."
"kjv","40","13","54","And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?"
"kjv","40","13","55","Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?"
"kjv","40","13","56","And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?"
"kjv","40","13","57","And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house."
"kjv","40","13","58","And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief."
"kjv","40","14","1","At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,"
"kjv","40","14","2","And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him."
"kjv","40","14","3","For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife."
"kjv","40","14","4","For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her."
"kjv","40","14","5","And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet."
"kjv","40","14","6","But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod."
"kjv","40","14","7","Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask."
"kjv","40","14","8","And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger."
"kjv","40","14","9","And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her."
"kjv","40","14","10","And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison."
"kjv","40","14","11","And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother."
"kjv","40","14","12","And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus."
"kjv","40","14","13","When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities."
"kjv","40","14","14","And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick."
"kjv","40","14","15","And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals."
"kjv","40","14","16","But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat."
"kjv","40","14","17","And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes."
"kjv","40","14","18","He said, Bring them hither to me."
"kjv","40","14","19","And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude."
"kjv","40","14","20","And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full."
"kjv","40","14","21","And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children."
"kjv","40","14","22","And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away."
"kjv","40","14","23","And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone."
"kjv","40","14","24","But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary."
"kjv","40","14","25","And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea."
"kjv","40","14","26","And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear."
"kjv","40","14","27","But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."
"kjv","40","14","28","And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water."
"kjv","40","14","29","And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus."
"kjv","40","14","30","But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me."
"kjv","40","14","31","And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"
"kjv","40","14","32","And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased."
"kjv","40","14","33","Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."
"kjv","40","14","34","And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret."
"kjv","40","14","35","And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;"
"kjv","40","14","36","And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole."
"kjv","40","15","1","Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,"
"kjv","40","15","2","Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread."
"kjv","40","15","3","But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
"kjv","40","15","4","For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death."
"kjv","40","15","5","But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;"
"kjv","40","15","6","And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition."
"kjv","40","15","7","Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,"
"kjv","40","15","8","This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me."
"kjv","40","15","9","But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
"kjv","40","15","10","And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:"
"kjv","40","15","11","Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."
"kjv","40","15","12","Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?"
"kjv","40","15","13","But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up."
"kjv","40","15","14","Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
"kjv","40","15","15","Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable."
"kjv","40","15","16","And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?"
"kjv","40","15","17","Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?"
"kjv","40","15","18","But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man."
"kjv","40","15","19","For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:"
"kjv","40","15","20","These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."
"kjv","40","15","21","Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon."
"kjv","40","15","22","And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil."
"kjv","40","15","23","But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us."
"kjv","40","15","24","But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
"kjv","40","15","25","Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me."
"kjv","40","15","26","But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to dogs."
"kjv","40","15","27","And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
"kjv","40","15","28","Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."
"kjv","40","15","29","And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there."
"kjv","40","15","30","And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:"
"kjv","40","15","31","Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel."
"kjv","40","15","32","Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way."
"kjv","40","15","33","And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?"
"kjv","40","15","34","And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes."
"kjv","40","15","35","And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground."
"kjv","40","15","36","And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude."
"kjv","40","15","37","And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full."
"kjv","40","15","38","And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children."
"kjv","40","15","39","And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala."
"kjv","40","16","1","The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven."
"kjv","40","16","2","He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red."
"kjv","40","16","3","And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?"
"kjv","40","16","4","A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed."
"kjv","40","16","5","And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread."
"kjv","40","16","6","Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
"kjv","40","16","7","And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread."
"kjv","40","16","8","Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?"
"kjv","40","16","9","Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?"
"kjv","40","16","10","Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?"
"kjv","40","16","11","How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
"kjv","40","16","12","Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
"kjv","40","16","13","When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?"
"kjv","40","16","14","And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets."
"kjv","40","16","15","He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?"
"kjv","40","16","16","And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
"kjv","40","16","17","And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","16","18","And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
"kjv","40","16","19","And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
"kjv","40","16","20","Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ."
"kjv","40","16","21","From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day."
"kjv","40","16","22","Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee."
"kjv","40","16","23","But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men."
"kjv","40","16","24","Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
"kjv","40","16","25","For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."
"kjv","40","16","26","For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
"kjv","40","16","27","For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works."
"kjv","40","16","28","Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."
"kjv","40","17","1","And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,"
"kjv","40","17","2","And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light."
"kjv","40","17","3","And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him."
"kjv","40","17","4","Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias."
"kjv","40","17","5","While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
"kjv","40","17","6","And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid."
"kjv","40","17","7","And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid."
"kjv","40","17","8","And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only."
"kjv","40","17","9","And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead."
"kjv","40","17","10","And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?"
"kjv","40","17","11","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things."
"kjv","40","17","12","But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them."
"kjv","40","17","13","Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist."
"kjv","40","17","14","And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,"
"kjv","40","17","15","Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water."
"kjv","40","17","16","And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him."
"kjv","40","17","17","Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me."
"kjv","40","17","18","And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour."
"kjv","40","17","19","Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?"
"kjv","40","17","20","And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
"kjv","40","17","21","Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."
"kjv","40","17","22","And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:"
"kjv","40","17","23","And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."
"kjv","40","17","24","And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?"
"kjv","40","17","25","He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?"
"kjv","40","17","26","Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free."
"kjv","40","17","27","Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee."
"kjv","40","18","1","At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
"kjv","40","18","2","And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,"
"kjv","40","18","3","And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","18","4","Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","18","5","And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
"kjv","40","18","6","But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
"kjv","40","18","7","Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!"
"kjv","40","18","8","Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire."
"kjv","40","18","9","And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire."
"kjv","40","18","10","Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","18","11","For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."
"kjv","40","18","12","How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?"
"kjv","40","18","13","And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray."
"kjv","40","18","14","Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."
"kjv","40","18","15","Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother."
"kjv","40","18","16","But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established."
"kjv","40","18","17","And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican."
"kjv","40","18","18","Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
"kjv","40","18","19","Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","18","20","For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
"kjv","40","18","21","Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?"
"kjv","40","18","22","Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."
"kjv","40","18","23","Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants."
"kjv","40","18","24","And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents."
"kjv","40","18","25","But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made."
"kjv","40","18","26","The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all."
"kjv","40","18","27","Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt."
"kjv","40","18","28","But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest."
"kjv","40","18","29","And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all."
"kjv","40","18","30","And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt."
"kjv","40","18","31","So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done."
"kjv","40","18","32","Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:"
"kjv","40","18","33","Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?"
"kjv","40","18","34","And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him."
"kjv","40","18","35","So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."
"kjv","40","19","1","And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;"
"kjv","40","19","2","And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there."
"kjv","40","19","3","The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?"
"kjv","40","19","4","And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,"
"kjv","40","19","5","And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"
"kjv","40","19","6","Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
"kjv","40","19","7","They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?"
"kjv","40","19","8","He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so."
"kjv","40","19","9","And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
"kjv","40","19","10","His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry."
"kjv","40","19","11","But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given."
"kjv","40","19","12","For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."
"kjv","40","19","13","Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them."
"kjv","40","19","14","But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","19","15","And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence."
"kjv","40","19","16","And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
"kjv","40","19","17","And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."
"kjv","40","19","18","He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,"
"kjv","40","19","19","Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
"kjv","40","19","20","The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
"kjv","40","19","21","Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."
"kjv","40","19","22","But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions."
"kjv","40","19","23","Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"kjv","40","19","24","And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"kjv","40","19","25","When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?"
"kjv","40","19","26","But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
"kjv","40","19","27","Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?"
"kjv","40","19","28","And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
"kjv","40","19","29","And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life."
"kjv","40","19","30","But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first."
"kjv","40","20","1","For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard."
"kjv","40","20","2","And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard."
"kjv","40","20","3","And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,"
"kjv","40","20","4","And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way."
"kjv","40","20","5","Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise."
"kjv","40","20","6","And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?"
"kjv","40","20","7","They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive."
"kjv","40","20","8","So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first."
"kjv","40","20","9","And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny."
"kjv","40","20","10","But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny."
"kjv","40","20","11","And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,"
"kjv","40","20","12","Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day."
"kjv","40","20","13","But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?"
"kjv","40","20","14","Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee."
"kjv","40","20","15","Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?"
"kjv","40","20","16","So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."
"kjv","40","20","17","And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,"
"kjv","40","20","18","Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,"
"kjv","40","20","19","And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again."
"kjv","40","20","20","Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him."
"kjv","40","20","21","And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom."
"kjv","40","20","22","But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able."
"kjv","40","20","23","And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father."
"kjv","40","20","24","And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren."
"kjv","40","20","25","But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them."
"kjv","40","20","26","But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;"
"kjv","40","20","27","And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:"
"kjv","40","20","28","Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
"kjv","40","20","29","And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him."
"kjv","40","20","30","And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David."
"kjv","40","20","31","And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David."
"kjv","40","20","32","And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?"
"kjv","40","20","33","They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
"kjv","40","20","34","So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him."
"kjv","40","21","1","And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,"
"kjv","40","21","2","Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me."
"kjv","40","21","3","And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them."
"kjv","40","21","4","All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,"
"kjv","40","21","5","Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass."
"kjv","40","21","6","And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,"
"kjv","40","21","7","And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon."
"kjv","40","21","8","And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed them in the way."
"kjv","40","21","9","And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."
"kjv","40","21","10","And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?"
"kjv","40","21","11","And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee."
"kjv","40","21","12","And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,"
"kjv","40","21","13","And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."
"kjv","40","21","14","And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them."
"kjv","40","21","15","And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,"
"kjv","40","21","16","And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"
"kjv","40","21","17","And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there."
"kjv","40","21","18","Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered."
"kjv","40","21","19","And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."
"kjv","40","21","20","And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!"
"kjv","40","21","21","Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done."
"kjv","40","21","22","And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
"kjv","40","21","23","And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?"
"kjv","40","21","24","And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things."
"kjv","40","21","25","The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?"
"kjv","40","21","26","But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet."
"kjv","40","21","27","And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things."
"kjv","40","21","28","But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard."
"kjv","40","21","29","He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went."
"kjv","40","21","30","And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not."
"kjv","40","21","31","Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you."
"kjv","40","21","32","For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him."
"kjv","40","21","33","Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:"
"kjv","40","21","34","And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it."
"kjv","40","21","35","And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another."
"kjv","40","21","36","Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise."
"kjv","40","21","37","But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son."
"kjv","40","21","38","But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance."
"kjv","40","21","39","And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him."
"kjv","40","21","40","When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?"
"kjv","40","21","41","They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons."
"kjv","40","21","42","Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
"kjv","40","21","43","Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
"kjv","40","21","44","And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
"kjv","40","21","45","And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them."
"kjv","40","21","46","But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet."
"kjv","40","22","1","And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,"
"kjv","40","22","2","The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,"
"kjv","40","22","3","And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come."
"kjv","40","22","4","Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage."
"kjv","40","22","5","But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:"
"kjv","40","22","6","And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them."
"kjv","40","22","7","But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city."
"kjv","40","22","8","Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy."
"kjv","40","22","9","Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage."
"kjv","40","22","10","So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests."
"kjv","40","22","11","And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:"
"kjv","40","22","12","And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless."
"kjv","40","22","13","Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
"kjv","40","22","14","For many are called, but few are chosen."
"kjv","40","22","15","Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk."
"kjv","40","22","16","And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men."
"kjv","40","22","17","Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?"
"kjv","40","22","18","But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?"
"kjv","40","22","19","shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny."
"kjv","40","22","20","And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?"
"kjv","40","22","21","They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's."
"kjv","40","22","22","When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way."
"kjv","40","22","23","The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,"
"kjv","40","22","24","Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."
"kjv","40","22","25","Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:"
"kjv","40","22","26","Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh."
"kjv","40","22","27","And last of all the woman died also."
"kjv","40","22","28","Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her."
"kjv","40","22","29","Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God."
"kjv","40","22","30","For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."
"kjv","40","22","31","But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,"
"kjv","40","22","32","I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
"kjv","40","22","33","And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine."
"kjv","40","22","34","But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together."
"kjv","40","22","35","Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,"
"kjv","40","22","36","Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"
"kjv","40","22","37","Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
"kjv","40","22","38","This is the first and great commandment."
"kjv","40","22","39","And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
"kjv","40","22","40","On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
"kjv","40","22","41","While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,"
"kjv","40","22","42","Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David."
"kjv","40","22","43","He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,"
"kjv","40","22","44","The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
"kjv","40","22","45","If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?"
"kjv","40","22","46","And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."
"kjv","40","23","1","Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,"
"kjv","40","23","2","Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:"
"kjv","40","23","3","All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not."
"kjv","40","23","4","For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers."
"kjv","40","23","5","But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,"
"kjv","40","23","6","And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,"
"kjv","40","23","7","And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi."
"kjv","40","23","8","But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren."
"kjv","40","23","9","And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
"kjv","40","23","10","Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ."
"kjv","40","23","11","But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant."
"kjv","40","23","12","And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
"kjv","40","23","13","But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."
"kjv","40","23","14","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation."
"kjv","40","23","15","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
"kjv","40","23","16","Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!"
"kjv","40","23","17","Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?"
"kjv","40","23","18","And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty."
"kjv","40","23","19","Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?"
"kjv","40","23","20","Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon."
"kjv","40","23","21","And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein."
"kjv","40","23","22","And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon."
"kjv","40","23","23","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
"kjv","40","23","24","Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel."
"kjv","40","23","25","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess."
"kjv","40","23","26","Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also."
"kjv","40","23","27","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."
"kjv","40","23","28","Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity."
"kjv","40","23","29","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,"
"kjv","40","23","30","And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets."
"kjv","40","23","31","Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets."
"kjv","40","23","32","Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers."
"kjv","40","23","33","Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"
"kjv","40","23","34","Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:"
"kjv","40","23","35","That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar."
"kjv","40","23","36","Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."
"kjv","40","23","37","O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"
"kjv","40","23","38","Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."
"kjv","40","23","39","For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
"kjv","40","24","1","And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple."
"kjv","40","24","2","And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
"kjv","40","24","3","And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
"kjv","40","24","4","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
"kjv","40","24","5","For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
"kjv","40","24","6","And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."
"kjv","40","24","7","For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
"kjv","40","24","8","All these are the beginning of sorrows."
"kjv","40","24","9","Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake."
"kjv","40","24","10","And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another."
"kjv","40","24","11","And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."
"kjv","40","24","12","And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
"kjv","40","24","13","But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
"kjv","40","24","14","And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
"kjv","40","24","15","When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)"
"kjv","40","24","16","Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:"
"kjv","40","24","17","Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:"
"kjv","40","24","18","Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes."
"kjv","40","24","19","And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!"
"kjv","40","24","20","But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"
"kjv","40","24","21","For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."
"kjv","40","24","22","And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
"kjv","40","24","23","Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not."
"kjv","40","24","24","For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
"kjv","40","24","25","Behold, I have told you before."
"kjv","40","24","26","Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not."
"kjv","40","24","27","For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
"kjv","40","24","28","For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."
"kjv","40","24","29","Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"
"kjv","40","24","30","And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
"kjv","40","24","31","And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
"kjv","40","24","32","Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:"
"kjv","40","24","33","So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."
"kjv","40","24","34","Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
"kjv","40","24","35","Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
"kjv","40","24","36","But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
"kjv","40","24","37","But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
"kjv","40","24","38","For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,"
"kjv","40","24","39","And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."
"kjv","40","24","40","Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
"kjv","40","24","41","Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
"kjv","40","24","42","Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."
"kjv","40","24","43","But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up."
"kjv","40","24","44","Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
"kjv","40","24","45","Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?"
"kjv","40","24","46","Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing."
"kjv","40","24","47","Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods."
"kjv","40","24","48","But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;"
"kjv","40","24","49","And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;"
"kjv","40","24","50","The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,"
"kjv","40","24","51","And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
"kjv","40","25","1","Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom."
"kjv","40","25","2","And five of them were wise, and five were foolish."
"kjv","40","25","3","They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:"
"kjv","40","25","4","But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps."
"kjv","40","25","5","While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept."
"kjv","40","25","6","And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."
"kjv","40","25","7","Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps."
"kjv","40","25","8","And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out."
"kjv","40","25","9","But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."
"kjv","40","25","10","And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."
"kjv","40","25","11","Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us."
"kjv","40","25","12","But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."
"kjv","40","25","13","Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."
"kjv","40","25","14","For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods."
"kjv","40","25","15","And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey."
"kjv","40","25","16","Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents."
"kjv","40","25","17","And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two."
"kjv","40","25","18","But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money."
"kjv","40","25","19","After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them."
"kjv","40","25","20","And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more."
"kjv","40","25","21","His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
"kjv","40","25","22","He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them."
"kjv","40","25","23","His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
"kjv","40","25","24","Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strowed:"
"kjv","40","25","25","And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine."
"kjv","40","25","26","His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strowed:"
"kjv","40","25","27","Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury."
"kjv","40","25","28","Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents."
"kjv","40","25","29","For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath."
"kjv","40","25","30","And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
"kjv","40","25","31","When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:"
"kjv","40","25","32","And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:"
"kjv","40","25","33","And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
"kjv","40","25","34","Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:"
"kjv","40","25","35","For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:"
"kjv","40","25","36","Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."
"kjv","40","25","37","Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?"
"kjv","40","25","38","When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?"
"kjv","40","25","39","Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?"
"kjv","40","25","40","And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
"kjv","40","25","41","Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"
"kjv","40","25","42","For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:"
"kjv","40","25","43","I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not."
"kjv","40","25","44","Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?"
"kjv","40","25","45","Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."
"kjv","40","25","46","And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."
"kjv","40","26","1","And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,"
"kjv","40","26","2","Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified."
"kjv","40","26","3","Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,"
"kjv","40","26","4","And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him."
"kjv","40","26","5","But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people."
"kjv","40","26","6","Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,"
"kjv","40","26","7","There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat."
"kjv","40","26","8","But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?"
"kjv","40","26","9","For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
"kjv","40","26","10","When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me."
"kjv","40","26","11","For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always."
"kjv","40","26","12","For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial."
"kjv","40","26","13","Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her."
"kjv","40","26","14","Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,"
"kjv","40","26","15","And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver."
"kjv","40","26","16","And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him."
"kjv","40","26","17","Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?"
"kjv","40","26","18","And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples."
"kjv","40","26","19","And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover."
"kjv","40","26","20","Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve."
"kjv","40","26","21","And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."
"kjv","40","26","22","And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?"
"kjv","40","26","23","And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me."
"kjv","40","26","24","The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born."
"kjv","40","26","25","Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said."
"kjv","40","26","26","And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body."
"kjv","40","26","27","And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;"
"kjv","40","26","28","For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
"kjv","40","26","29","But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."
"kjv","40","26","30","And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives."
"kjv","40","26","31","Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad."
"kjv","40","26","32","But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee."
"kjv","40","26","33","Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended."
"kjv","40","26","34","Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
"kjv","40","26","35","Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples."
"kjv","40","26","36","Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder."
"kjv","40","26","37","And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy."
"kjv","40","26","38","Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me."
"kjv","40","26","39","And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."
"kjv","40","26","40","And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?"
"kjv","40","26","41","Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
"kjv","40","26","42","He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done."
"kjv","40","26","43","And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy."
"kjv","40","26","44","And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words."
"kjv","40","26","45","Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."
"kjv","40","26","46","Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me."
"kjv","40","26","47","And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people."
"kjv","40","26","48","Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast."
"kjv","40","26","49","And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him."
"kjv","40","26","50","And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him."
"kjv","40","26","51","And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear."
"kjv","40","26","52","Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
"kjv","40","26","53","Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
"kjv","40","26","54","But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
"kjv","40","26","55","In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me."
"kjv","40","26","56","But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled."
"kjv","40","26","57","And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled."
"kjv","40","26","58","But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end."
"kjv","40","26","59","Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;"
"kjv","40","26","60","But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,"
"kjv","40","26","61","And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days."
"kjv","40","26","62","And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?"
"kjv","40","26","63","But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God."
"kjv","40","26","64","Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
"kjv","40","26","65","Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy."
"kjv","40","26","66","What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death."
"kjv","40","26","67","Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,"
"kjv","40","26","68","Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?"
"kjv","40","26","69","Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee."
"kjv","40","26","70","But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest."
"kjv","40","26","71","And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth."
"kjv","40","26","72","And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man."
"kjv","40","26","73","And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee."
"kjv","40","26","74","Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew."
"kjv","40","26","75","And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly."
"kjv","40","27","1","When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:"
"kjv","40","27","2","And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor."
"kjv","40","27","3","Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,"
"kjv","40","27","4","Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that."
"kjv","40","27","5","And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself."
"kjv","40","27","6","And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."
"kjv","40","27","7","And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in."
"kjv","40","27","8","Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day."
"kjv","40","27","9","Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;"
"kjv","40","27","10","And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."
"kjv","40","27","11","And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest."
"kjv","40","27","12","And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing."
"kjv","40","27","13","Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?"
"kjv","40","27","14","And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly."
"kjv","40","27","15","Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would."
"kjv","40","27","16","And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas."
"kjv","40","27","17","Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?"
"kjv","40","27","18","For he knew that for envy they had delivered him."
"kjv","40","27","19","When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
"kjv","40","27","20","But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus."
"kjv","40","27","21","The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas."
"kjv","40","27","22","Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified."
"kjv","40","27","23","And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified."
"kjv","40","27","24","When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it."
"kjv","40","27","25","Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children."
"kjv","40","27","26","Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified."
"kjv","40","27","27","Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers."
"kjv","40","27","28","And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe."
"kjv","40","27","29","And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!"
"kjv","40","27","30","And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head."
"kjv","40","27","31","And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him."
"kjv","40","27","32","And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross."
"kjv","40","27","33","And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,"
"kjv","40","27","34","They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink."
"kjv","40","27","35","And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots."
"kjv","40","27","36","And sitting down they watched him there;"
"kjv","40","27","37","And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"kjv","40","27","38","Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left."
"kjv","40","27","39","And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,"
"kjv","40","27","40","And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross."
"kjv","40","27","41","Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,"
"kjv","40","27","42","He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him."
"kjv","40","27","43","He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God."
"kjv","40","27","44","The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth."
"kjv","40","27","45","Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour."
"kjv","40","27","46","And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
"kjv","40","27","47","Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias."
"kjv","40","27","48","And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink."
"kjv","40","27","49","The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him."
"kjv","40","27","50","Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."
"kjv","40","27","51","And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;"
"kjv","40","27","52","And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,"
"kjv","40","27","53","And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."
"kjv","40","27","54","Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God."
"kjv","40","27","55","And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:"
"kjv","40","27","56","Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children."
"kjv","40","27","57","When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:"
"kjv","40","27","58","He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered."
"kjv","40","27","59","And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,"
"kjv","40","27","60","And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed."
"kjv","40","27","61","And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre."
"kjv","40","27","62","Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,"
"kjv","40","27","63","Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again."
"kjv","40","27","64","Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first."
"kjv","40","27","65","Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can."
"kjv","40","27","66","So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."
"kjv","40","28","1","In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."
"kjv","40","28","2","And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it."
"kjv","40","28","3","His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:"
"kjv","40","28","4","And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men."
"kjv","40","28","5","And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified."
"kjv","40","28","6","He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
"kjv","40","28","7","And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you."
"kjv","40","28","8","And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word."
"kjv","40","28","9","And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him."
"kjv","40","28","10","Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
"kjv","40","28","11","Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done."
"kjv","40","28","12","And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,"
"kjv","40","28","13","Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept."
"kjv","40","28","14","And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you."
"kjv","40","28","15","So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day."
"kjv","40","28","16","Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them."
"kjv","40","28","17","And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted."
"kjv","40","28","18","And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
"kjv","40","28","19","Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
"kjv","40","28","20","Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
"kjv","41","1","1","The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;"
"kjv","41","1","2","As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee."
"kjv","41","1","3","The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
"kjv","41","1","4","John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins."
"kjv","41","1","5","And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins."
"kjv","41","1","6","And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;"
"kjv","41","1","7","And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose."
"kjv","41","1","8","I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","41","1","9","And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan."
"kjv","41","1","10","And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:"
"kjv","41","1","11","And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
"kjv","41","1","12","And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness."
"kjv","41","1","13","And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him."
"kjv","41","1","14","Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,"
"kjv","41","1","15","And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
"kjv","41","1","16","Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers."
"kjv","41","1","17","And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
"kjv","41","1","18","And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him."
"kjv","41","1","19","And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets."
"kjv","41","1","20","And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him."
"kjv","41","1","21","And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught."
"kjv","41","1","22","And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes."
"kjv","41","1","23","And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,"
"kjv","41","1","24","Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God."
"kjv","41","1","25","And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him."
"kjv","41","1","26","And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him."
"kjv","41","1","27","And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him."
"kjv","41","1","28","And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee."
"kjv","41","1","29","And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John."
"kjv","41","1","30","But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her."
"kjv","41","1","31","And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them."
"kjv","41","1","32","And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils."
"kjv","41","1","33","And all the city was gathered together at the door."
"kjv","41","1","34","And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him."
"kjv","41","1","35","And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed."
"kjv","41","1","36","And Simon and they that were with him followed after him."
"kjv","41","1","37","And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee."
"kjv","41","1","38","And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth."
"kjv","41","1","39","And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils."
"kjv","41","1","40","And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
"kjv","41","1","41","And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean."
"kjv","41","1","42","And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed."
"kjv","41","1","43","And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;"
"kjv","41","1","44","And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
"kjv","41","1","45","But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter."
"kjv","41","2","1","And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house."
"kjv","41","2","2","And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them."
"kjv","41","2","3","And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four."
"kjv","41","2","4","And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay."
"kjv","41","2","5","When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee."
"kjv","41","2","6","But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,"
"kjv","41","2","7","Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?"
"kjv","41","2","8","And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?"
"kjv","41","2","9","Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?"
"kjv","41","2","10","But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)"
"kjv","41","2","11","I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house."
"kjv","41","2","12","And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion."
"kjv","41","2","13","And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them."
"kjv","41","2","14","And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him."
"kjv","41","2","15","And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him."
"kjv","41","2","16","And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"
"kjv","41","2","17","When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
"kjv","41","2","18","And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?"
"kjv","41","2","19","And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast."
"kjv","41","2","20","But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days."
"kjv","41","2","21","No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse."
"kjv","41","2","22","And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles."
"kjv","41","2","23","And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn."
"kjv","41","2","24","And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?"
"kjv","41","2","25","And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?"
"kjv","41","2","26","How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?"
"kjv","41","2","27","And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
"kjv","41","2","28","Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
"kjv","41","3","1","And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand."
"kjv","41","3","2","And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him."
"kjv","41","3","3","And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth."
"kjv","41","3","4","And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace."
"kjv","41","3","5","And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other."
"kjv","41","3","6","And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him."
"kjv","41","3","7","But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,"
"kjv","41","3","8","And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him."
"kjv","41","3","9","And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him."
"kjv","41","3","10","For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues."
"kjv","41","3","11","And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God."
"kjv","41","3","12","And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known."
"kjv","41","3","13","And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him."
"kjv","41","3","14","And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,"
"kjv","41","3","15","And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:"
"kjv","41","3","16","And Simon he surnamed Peter;"
"kjv","41","3","17","And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:"
"kjv","41","3","18","And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,"
"kjv","41","3","19","And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house."
"kjv","41","3","20","And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread."
"kjv","41","3","21","And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself."
"kjv","41","3","22","And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils."
"kjv","41","3","23","And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?"
"kjv","41","3","24","And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand."
"kjv","41","3","25","And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."
"kjv","41","3","26","And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end."
"kjv","41","3","27","No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house."
"kjv","41","3","28","Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:"
"kjv","41","3","29","But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:"
"kjv","41","3","30","Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit."
"kjv","41","3","31","There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him."
"kjv","41","3","32","And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee."
"kjv","41","3","33","And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?"
"kjv","41","3","34","And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!"
"kjv","41","3","35","For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."
"kjv","41","4","1","And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land."
"kjv","41","4","2","And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,"
"kjv","41","4","3","Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:"
"kjv","41","4","4","And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up."
"kjv","41","4","5","And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:"
"kjv","41","4","6","But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away."
"kjv","41","4","7","And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit."
"kjv","41","4","8","And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred."
"kjv","41","4","9","And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","41","4","10","And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable."
"kjv","41","4","11","And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:"
"kjv","41","4","12","That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."
"kjv","41","4","13","And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?"
"kjv","41","4","14","The sower soweth the word."
"kjv","41","4","15","And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts."
"kjv","41","4","16","And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;"
"kjv","41","4","17","And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended."
"kjv","41","4","18","And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,"
"kjv","41","4","19","And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."
"kjv","41","4","20","And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred."
"kjv","41","4","21","And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?"
"kjv","41","4","22","For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad."
"kjv","41","4","23","If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","41","4","24","And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given."
"kjv","41","4","25","For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath."
"kjv","41","4","26","And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;"
"kjv","41","4","27","And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how."
"kjv","41","4","28","For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear."
"kjv","41","4","29","But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."
"kjv","41","4","30","And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?"
"kjv","41","4","31","It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:"
"kjv","41","4","32","But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."
"kjv","41","4","33","And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it."
"kjv","41","4","34","But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples."
"kjv","41","4","35","And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side."
"kjv","41","4","36","And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships."
"kjv","41","4","37","And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full."
"kjv","41","4","38","And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?"
"kjv","41","4","39","And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
"kjv","41","4","40","And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"
"kjv","41","4","41","And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
"kjv","41","5","1","And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes."
"kjv","41","5","2","And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,"
"kjv","41","5","3","Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:"
"kjv","41","5","4","Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him."
"kjv","41","5","5","And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones."
"kjv","41","5","6","But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,"
"kjv","41","5","7","And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not."
"kjv","41","5","8","For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."
"kjv","41","5","9","And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many."
"kjv","41","5","10","And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country."
"kjv","41","5","11","Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding."
"kjv","41","5","12","And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
"kjv","41","5","13","And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea."
"kjv","41","5","14","And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done."
"kjv","41","5","15","And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid."
"kjv","41","5","16","And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine."
"kjv","41","5","17","And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts."
"kjv","41","5","18","And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him."
"kjv","41","5","19","Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee."
"kjv","41","5","20","And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel."
"kjv","41","5","21","And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea."
"kjv","41","5","22","And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,"
"kjv","41","5","23","And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live."
"kjv","41","5","24","And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him."
"kjv","41","5","25","And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,"
"kjv","41","5","26","And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,"
"kjv","41","5","27","When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment."
"kjv","41","5","28","For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole."
"kjv","41","5","29","And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague."
"kjv","41","5","30","And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?"
"kjv","41","5","31","And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"
"kjv","41","5","32","And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing."
"kjv","41","5","33","But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth."
"kjv","41","5","34","And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."
"kjv","41","5","35","While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?"
"kjv","41","5","36","As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe."
"kjv","41","5","37","And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James."
"kjv","41","5","38","And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly."
"kjv","41","5","39","And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth."
"kjv","41","5","40","And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying."
"kjv","41","5","41","And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise."
"kjv","41","5","42","And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment."
"kjv","41","5","43","And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat."
"kjv","41","6","1","And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him."
"kjv","41","6","2","And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?"
"kjv","41","6","3","Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him."
"kjv","41","6","4","But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
"kjv","41","6","5","And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them."
"kjv","41","6","6","And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching."
"kjv","41","6","7","And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;"
"kjv","41","6","8","And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:"
"kjv","41","6","9","But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats."
"kjv","41","6","10","And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place."
"kjv","41","6","11","And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."
"kjv","41","6","12","And they went out, and preached that men should repent."
"kjv","41","6","13","And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them."
"kjv","41","6","14","And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him."
"kjv","41","6","15","Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets."
"kjv","41","6","16","But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead."
"kjv","41","6","17","For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her."
"kjv","41","6","18","For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."
"kjv","41","6","19","Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:"
"kjv","41","6","20","For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly."
"kjv","41","6","21","And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;"
"kjv","41","6","22","And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee."
"kjv","41","6","23","And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom."
"kjv","41","6","24","And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist."
"kjv","41","6","25","And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist."
"kjv","41","6","26","And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her."
"kjv","41","6","27","And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,"
"kjv","41","6","28","And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother."
"kjv","41","6","29","And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb."
"kjv","41","6","30","And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught."
"kjv","41","6","31","And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat."
"kjv","41","6","32","And they departed into a desert place by ship privately."
"kjv","41","6","33","And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him."
"kjv","41","6","34","And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things."
"kjv","41","6","35","And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:"
"kjv","41","6","36","Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat."
"kjv","41","6","37","He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?"
"kjv","41","6","38","He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes."
"kjv","41","6","39","And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass."
"kjv","41","6","40","And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties."
"kjv","41","6","41","And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all."
"kjv","41","6","42","And they did all eat, and were filled."
"kjv","41","6","43","And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes."
"kjv","41","6","44","And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men."
"kjv","41","6","45","And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people."
"kjv","41","6","46","And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray."
"kjv","41","6","47","And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land."
"kjv","41","6","48","And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them."
"kjv","41","6","49","But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:"
"kjv","41","6","50","For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid."
"kjv","41","6","51","And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered."
"kjv","41","6","52","For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened."
"kjv","41","6","53","And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore."
"kjv","41","6","54","And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,"
"kjv","41","6","55","And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was."
"kjv","41","6","56","And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole."
"kjv","41","7","1","Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem."
"kjv","41","7","2","And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault."
"kjv","41","7","3","For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders."
"kjv","41","7","4","And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables."
"kjv","41","7","5","Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?"
"kjv","41","7","6","He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me."
"kjv","41","7","7","Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
"kjv","41","7","8","For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do."
"kjv","41","7","9","And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."
"kjv","41","7","10","For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:"
"kjv","41","7","11","But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free."
"kjv","41","7","12","And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;"
"kjv","41","7","13","Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."
"kjv","41","7","14","And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:"
"kjv","41","7","15","There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man."
"kjv","41","7","16","If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","41","7","17","And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable."
"kjv","41","7","18","And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;"
"kjv","41","7","19","Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?"
"kjv","41","7","20","And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man."
"kjv","41","7","21","For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,"
"kjv","41","7","22","Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:"
"kjv","41","7","23","All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
"kjv","41","7","24","And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid."
"kjv","41","7","25","For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:"
"kjv","41","7","26","The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter."
"kjv","41","7","27","But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs."
"kjv","41","7","28","And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs."
"kjv","41","7","29","And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter."
"kjv","41","7","30","And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed."
"kjv","41","7","31","And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis."
"kjv","41","7","32","And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him."
"kjv","41","7","33","And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;"
"kjv","41","7","34","And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened."
"kjv","41","7","35","And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain."
"kjv","41","7","36","And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;"
"kjv","41","7","37","And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."
"kjv","41","8","1","In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,"
"kjv","41","8","2","I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:"
"kjv","41","8","3","And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far."
"kjv","41","8","4","And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?"
"kjv","41","8","5","And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven."
"kjv","41","8","6","And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people."
"kjv","41","8","7","And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them."
"kjv","41","8","8","So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets."
"kjv","41","8","9","And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away."
"kjv","41","8","10","And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha."
"kjv","41","8","11","And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him."
"kjv","41","8","12","And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation."
"kjv","41","8","13","And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side."
"kjv","41","8","14","Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf."
"kjv","41","8","15","And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
"kjv","41","8","16","And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread."
"kjv","41","8","17","And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?"
"kjv","41","8","18","Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?"
"kjv","41","8","19","When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve."
"kjv","41","8","20","And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven."
"kjv","41","8","21","And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?"
"kjv","41","8","22","And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him."
"kjv","41","8","23","And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought."
"kjv","41","8","24","And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking."
"kjv","41","8","25","After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly."
"kjv","41","8","26","And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town."
"kjv","41","8","27","And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?"
"kjv","41","8","28","And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets."
"kjv","41","8","29","And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ."
"kjv","41","8","30","And he charged them that they should tell no man of him."
"kjv","41","8","31","And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again."
"kjv","41","8","32","And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him."
"kjv","41","8","33","But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men."
"kjv","41","8","34","And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
"kjv","41","8","35","For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it."
"kjv","41","8","36","For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
"kjv","41","8","37","Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
"kjv","41","8","38","Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
"kjv","41","9","1","And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."
"kjv","41","9","2","And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them."
"kjv","41","9","3","And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them."
"kjv","41","9","4","And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus."
"kjv","41","9","5","And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias."
"kjv","41","9","6","For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid."
"kjv","41","9","7","And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him."
"kjv","41","9","8","And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves."
"kjv","41","9","9","And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead."
"kjv","41","9","10","And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean."
"kjv","41","9","11","And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?"
"kjv","41","9","12","And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought."
"kjv","41","9","13","But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him."
"kjv","41","9","14","And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them."
"kjv","41","9","15","And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him."
"kjv","41","9","16","And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?"
"kjv","41","9","17","And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;"
"kjv","41","9","18","And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not."
"kjv","41","9","19","He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me."
"kjv","41","9","20","And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming."
"kjv","41","9","21","And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child."
"kjv","41","9","22","And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us."
"kjv","41","9","23","Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
"kjv","41","9","24","And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
"kjv","41","9","25","When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him."
"kjv","41","9","26","And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead."
"kjv","41","9","27","But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose."
"kjv","41","9","28","And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?"
"kjv","41","9","29","And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
"kjv","41","9","30","And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it."
"kjv","41","9","31","For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day."
"kjv","41","9","32","But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him."
"kjv","41","9","33","And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?"
"kjv","41","9","34","But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest."
"kjv","41","9","35","And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all."
"kjv","41","9","36","And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,"
"kjv","41","9","37","Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me."
"kjv","41","9","38","And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us."
"kjv","41","9","39","But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me."
"kjv","41","9","40","For he that is not against us is on our part."
"kjv","41","9","41","For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward."
"kjv","41","9","42","And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea."
"kjv","41","9","43","And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:"
"kjv","41","9","44","Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
"kjv","41","9","45","And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:"
"kjv","41","9","46","Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
"kjv","41","9","47","And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:"
"kjv","41","9","48","Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
"kjv","41","9","49","For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt."
"kjv","41","9","50","Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another."
"kjv","41","10","1","And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again."
"kjv","41","10","2","And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him."
"kjv","41","10","3","And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?"
"kjv","41","10","4","And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away."
"kjv","41","10","5","And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept."
"kjv","41","10","6","But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female."
"kjv","41","10","7","For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;"
"kjv","41","10","8","And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh."
"kjv","41","10","9","What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
"kjv","41","10","10","And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter."
"kjv","41","10","11","And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her."
"kjv","41","10","12","And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."
"kjv","41","10","13","And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them."
"kjv","41","10","14","But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."
"kjv","41","10","15","Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."
"kjv","41","10","16","And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."
"kjv","41","10","17","And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
"kjv","41","10","18","And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."
"kjv","41","10","19","Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother."
"kjv","41","10","20","And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth."
"kjv","41","10","21","Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me."
"kjv","41","10","22","And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions."
"kjv","41","10","23","And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"
"kjv","41","10","24","And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"
"kjv","41","10","25","It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"kjv","41","10","26","And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?"
"kjv","41","10","27","And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."
"kjv","41","10","28","Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee."
"kjv","41","10","29","And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,"
"kjv","41","10","30","But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."
"kjv","41","10","31","But many that are first shall be last; and the last first."
"kjv","41","10","32","And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,"
"kjv","41","10","33","Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:"
"kjv","41","10","34","And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again."
"kjv","41","10","35","And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire."
"kjv","41","10","36","And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?"
"kjv","41","10","37","They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory."
"kjv","41","10","38","But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
"kjv","41","10","39","And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:"
"kjv","41","10","40","But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared."
"kjv","41","10","41","And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John."
"kjv","41","10","42","But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them."
"kjv","41","10","43","But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:"
"kjv","41","10","44","And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all."
"kjv","41","10","45","For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
"kjv","41","10","46","And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging."
"kjv","41","10","47","And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"kjv","41","10","48","And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"kjv","41","10","49","And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee."
"kjv","41","10","50","And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus."
"kjv","41","10","51","And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight."
"kjv","41","10","52","And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way."
"kjv","41","11","1","And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,"
"kjv","41","11","2","And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him."
"kjv","41","11","3","And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither."
"kjv","41","11","4","And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him."
"kjv","41","11","5","And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?"
"kjv","41","11","6","And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go."
"kjv","41","11","7","And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him."
"kjv","41","11","8","And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strowed them in the way."
"kjv","41","11","9","And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:"
"kjv","41","11","10","Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest."
"kjv","41","11","11","And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve."
"kjv","41","11","12","And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:"
"kjv","41","11","13","And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet."
"kjv","41","11","14","And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it."
"kjv","41","11","15","And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;"
"kjv","41","11","16","And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple."
"kjv","41","11","17","And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves."
"kjv","41","11","18","And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine."
"kjv","41","11","19","And when even was come, he went out of the city."
"kjv","41","11","20","And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots."
"kjv","41","11","21","And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away."
"kjv","41","11","22","And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God."
"kjv","41","11","23","For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
"kjv","41","11","24","Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
"kjv","41","11","25","And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
"kjv","41","11","26","But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
"kjv","41","11","27","And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,"
"kjv","41","11","28","And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?"
"kjv","41","11","29","And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things."
"kjv","41","11","30","The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me."
"kjv","41","11","31","And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?"
"kjv","41","11","32","But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed."
"kjv","41","11","33","And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
"kjv","41","12","1","And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country."
"kjv","41","12","2","And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard."
"kjv","41","12","3","And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty."
"kjv","41","12","4","And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled."
"kjv","41","12","5","And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some."
"kjv","41","12","6","Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son."
"kjv","41","12","7","But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours."
"kjv","41","12","8","And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard."
"kjv","41","12","9","What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others."
"kjv","41","12","10","And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:"
"kjv","41","12","11","This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
"kjv","41","12","12","And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way."
"kjv","41","12","13","And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words."
"kjv","41","12","14","And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?"
"kjv","41","12","15","Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it."
"kjv","41","12","16","And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's."
"kjv","41","12","17","And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him."
"kjv","41","12","18","Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,"
"kjv","41","12","19","Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."
"kjv","41","12","20","Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed."
"kjv","41","12","21","And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise."
"kjv","41","12","22","And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also."
"kjv","41","12","23","In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife."
"kjv","41","12","24","And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?"
"kjv","41","12","25","For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven."
"kjv","41","12","26","And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?"
"kjv","41","12","27","He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err."
"kjv","41","12","28","And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?"
"kjv","41","12","29","And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"
"kjv","41","12","30","And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
"kjv","41","12","31","And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
"kjv","41","12","32","And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:"
"kjv","41","12","33","And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
"kjv","41","12","34","And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question."
"kjv","41","12","35","And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?"
"kjv","41","12","36","For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
"kjv","41","12","37","David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly."
"kjv","41","12","38","And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,"
"kjv","41","12","39","And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:"
"kjv","41","12","40","Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation."
"kjv","41","12","41","And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much."
"kjv","41","12","42","And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing."
"kjv","41","12","43","And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:"
"kjv","41","12","44","For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."
"kjv","41","13","1","And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"
"kjv","41","13","2","And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
"kjv","41","13","3","And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,"
"kjv","41","13","4","Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?"
"kjv","41","13","5","And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:"
"kjv","41","13","6","For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
"kjv","41","13","7","And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet."
"kjv","41","13","8","For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows."
"kjv","41","13","9","But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them."
"kjv","41","13","10","And the gospel must first be published among all nations."
"kjv","41","13","11","But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","41","13","12","Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death."
"kjv","41","13","13","And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
"kjv","41","13","14","But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:"
"kjv","41","13","15","And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:"
"kjv","41","13","16","And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment."
"kjv","41","13","17","But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!"
"kjv","41","13","18","And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter."
"kjv","41","13","19","For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be."
"kjv","41","13","20","And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days."
"kjv","41","13","21","And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:"
"kjv","41","13","22","For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."
"kjv","41","13","23","But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things."
"kjv","41","13","24","But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,"
"kjv","41","13","25","And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken."
"kjv","41","13","26","And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory."
"kjv","41","13","27","And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."
"kjv","41","13","28","Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:"
"kjv","41","13","29","So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors."
"kjv","41","13","30","Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."
"kjv","41","13","31","Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
"kjv","41","13","32","But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."
"kjv","41","13","33","Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."
"kjv","41","13","34","For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch."
"kjv","41","13","35","Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:"
"kjv","41","13","36","Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping."
"kjv","41","13","37","And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
"kjv","41","14","1","After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death."
"kjv","41","14","2","But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people."
"kjv","41","14","3","And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head."
"kjv","41","14","4","And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?"
"kjv","41","14","5","For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her."
"kjv","41","14","6","And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me."
"kjv","41","14","7","For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always."
"kjv","41","14","8","She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying."
"kjv","41","14","9","Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."
"kjv","41","14","10","And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them."
"kjv","41","14","11","And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him."
"kjv","41","14","12","And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?"
"kjv","41","14","13","And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him."
"kjv","41","14","14","And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"
"kjv","41","14","15","And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us."
"kjv","41","14","16","And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover."
"kjv","41","14","17","And in the evening he cometh with the twelve."
"kjv","41","14","18","And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me."
"kjv","41","14","19","And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?"
"kjv","41","14","20","And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish."
"kjv","41","14","21","The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born."
"kjv","41","14","22","And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body."
"kjv","41","14","23","And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it."
"kjv","41","14","24","And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many."
"kjv","41","14","25","Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
"kjv","41","14","26","And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives."
"kjv","41","14","27","And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."
"kjv","41","14","28","But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee."
"kjv","41","14","29","But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I."
"kjv","41","14","30","And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice."
"kjv","41","14","31","But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all."
"kjv","41","14","32","And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray."
"kjv","41","14","33","And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;"
"kjv","41","14","34","And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch."
"kjv","41","14","35","And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him."
"kjv","41","14","36","And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt."
"kjv","41","14","37","And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?"
"kjv","41","14","38","Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak."
"kjv","41","14","39","And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words."
"kjv","41","14","40","And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him."
"kjv","41","14","41","And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."
"kjv","41","14","42","Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand."
"kjv","41","14","43","And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders."
"kjv","41","14","44","And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely."
"kjv","41","14","45","And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him."
"kjv","41","14","46","And they laid their hands on him, and took him."
"kjv","41","14","47","And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear."
"kjv","41","14","48","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?"
"kjv","41","14","49","I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled."
"kjv","41","14","50","And they all forsook him, and fled."
"kjv","41","14","51","And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:"
"kjv","41","14","52","And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked."
"kjv","41","14","53","And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes."
"kjv","41","14","54","And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire."
"kjv","41","14","55","And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none."
"kjv","41","14","56","For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together."
"kjv","41","14","57","And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,"
"kjv","41","14","58","We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."
"kjv","41","14","59","But neither so did their witness agree together."
"kjv","41","14","60","And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?"
"kjv","41","14","61","But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
"kjv","41","14","62","And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
"kjv","41","14","63","Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?"
"kjv","41","14","64","Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death."
"kjv","41","14","65","And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands."
"kjv","41","14","66","And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:"
"kjv","41","14","67","And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth."
"kjv","41","14","68","But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew."
"kjv","41","14","69","And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them."
"kjv","41","14","70","And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto."
"kjv","41","14","71","But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak."
"kjv","41","14","72","And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept."
"kjv","41","15","1","And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate."
"kjv","41","15","2","And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it."
"kjv","41","15","3","And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing."
"kjv","41","15","4","And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee."
"kjv","41","15","5","But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled."
"kjv","41","15","6","Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired."
"kjv","41","15","7","And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection."
"kjv","41","15","8","And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them."
"kjv","41","15","9","But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"
"kjv","41","15","10","For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy."
"kjv","41","15","11","But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them."
"kjv","41","15","12","And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?"
"kjv","41","15","13","And they cried out again, Crucify him."
"kjv","41","15","14","Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him."
"kjv","41","15","15","And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified."
"kjv","41","15","16","And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band."
"kjv","41","15","17","And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,"
"kjv","41","15","18","And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!"
"kjv","41","15","19","And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him."
"kjv","41","15","20","And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him."
"kjv","41","15","21","And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross."
"kjv","41","15","22","And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull."
"kjv","41","15","23","And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not."
"kjv","41","15","24","And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take."
"kjv","41","15","25","And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."
"kjv","41","15","26","And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"kjv","41","15","27","And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left."
"kjv","41","15","28","And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors."
"kjv","41","15","29","And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,"
"kjv","41","15","30","Save thyself, and come down from the cross."
"kjv","41","15","31","Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save."
"kjv","41","15","32","Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him."
"kjv","41","15","33","And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour."
"kjv","41","15","34","And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
"kjv","41","15","35","And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias."
"kjv","41","15","36","And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down."
"kjv","41","15","37","And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost."
"kjv","41","15","38","And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom."
"kjv","41","15","39","And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God."
"kjv","41","15","40","There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;"
"kjv","41","15","41","(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem."
"kjv","41","15","42","And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,"
"kjv","41","15","43","Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus."
"kjv","41","15","44","And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead."
"kjv","41","15","45","And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph."
"kjv","41","15","46","And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre."
"kjv","41","15","47","And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid."
"kjv","41","16","1","And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him."
"kjv","41","16","2","And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
"kjv","41","16","3","And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?"
"kjv","41","16","4","And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great."
"kjv","41","16","5","And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted."
"kjv","41","16","6","And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him."
"kjv","41","16","7","But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you."
"kjv","41","16","8","And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid."
"kjv","41","16","9","Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils."
"kjv","41","16","10","And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept."
"kjv","41","16","11","And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not."
"kjv","41","16","12","After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country."
"kjv","41","16","13","And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them."
"kjv","41","16","14","Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen."
"kjv","41","16","15","And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
"kjv","41","16","16","He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
"kjv","41","16","17","And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;"
"kjv","41","16","18","They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
"kjv","41","16","19","So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God."
"kjv","41","16","20","And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."
"kjv","42","1","1","Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,"
"kjv","42","1","2","Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;"
"kjv","42","1","3","It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,"
"kjv","42","1","4","That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed."
"kjv","42","1","5","There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth."
"kjv","42","1","6","And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless."
"kjv","42","1","7","And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years."
"kjv","42","1","8","And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,"
"kjv","42","1","9","According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord."
"kjv","42","1","10","And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense."
"kjv","42","1","11","And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense."
"kjv","42","1","12","And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him."
"kjv","42","1","13","But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John."
"kjv","42","1","14","And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth."
"kjv","42","1","15","For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."
"kjv","42","1","16","And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God."
"kjv","42","1","17","And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
"kjv","42","1","18","And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years."
"kjv","42","1","19","And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings."
"kjv","42","1","20","And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season."
"kjv","42","1","21","And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple."
"kjv","42","1","22","And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless."
"kjv","42","1","23","And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house."
"kjv","42","1","24","And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,"
"kjv","42","1","25","Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men."
"kjv","42","1","26","And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,"
"kjv","42","1","27","To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary."
"kjv","42","1","28","And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."
"kjv","42","1","29","And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be."
"kjv","42","1","30","And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God."
"kjv","42","1","31","And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."
"kjv","42","1","32","He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:"
"kjv","42","1","33","And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."
"kjv","42","1","34","Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
"kjv","42","1","35","And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
"kjv","42","1","36","And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."
"kjv","42","1","37","For with God nothing shall be impossible."
"kjv","42","1","38","And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her."
"kjv","42","1","39","And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;"
"kjv","42","1","40","And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth."
"kjv","42","1","41","And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:"
"kjv","42","1","42","And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb."
"kjv","42","1","43","And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"
"kjv","42","1","44","For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy."
"kjv","42","1","45","And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."
"kjv","42","1","46","And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,"
"kjv","42","1","47","And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."
"kjv","42","1","48","For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."
"kjv","42","1","49","For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name."
"kjv","42","1","50","And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation."
"kjv","42","1","51","He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts."
"kjv","42","1","52","He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree."
"kjv","42","1","53","He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away."
"kjv","42","1","54","He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;"
"kjv","42","1","55","As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever."
"kjv","42","1","56","And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house."
"kjv","42","1","57","Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son."
"kjv","42","1","58","And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her."
"kjv","42","1","59","And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father."
"kjv","42","1","60","And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John."
"kjv","42","1","61","And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name."
"kjv","42","1","62","And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called."
"kjv","42","1","63","And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all."
"kjv","42","1","64","And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God."
"kjv","42","1","65","And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea."
"kjv","42","1","66","And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him."
"kjv","42","1","67","And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,"
"kjv","42","1","68","Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,"
"kjv","42","1","69","And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;"
"kjv","42","1","70","As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:"
"kjv","42","1","71","That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;"
"kjv","42","1","72","To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;"
"kjv","42","1","73","The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,"
"kjv","42","1","74","That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,"
"kjv","42","1","75","In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life."
"kjv","42","1","76","And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;"
"kjv","42","1","77","To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,"
"kjv","42","1","78","Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,"
"kjv","42","1","79","To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
"kjv","42","1","80","And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel."
"kjv","42","2","1","And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed."
"kjv","42","2","2","(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)"
"kjv","42","2","3","And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city."
"kjv","42","2","4","And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)"
"kjv","42","2","5","To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child."
"kjv","42","2","6","And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered."
"kjv","42","2","7","And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
"kjv","42","2","8","And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."
"kjv","42","2","9","And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."
"kjv","42","2","10","And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."
"kjv","42","2","11","For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
"kjv","42","2","12","And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."
"kjv","42","2","13","And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,"
"kjv","42","2","14","Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
"kjv","42","2","15","And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us."
"kjv","42","2","16","And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger."
"kjv","42","2","17","And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child."
"kjv","42","2","18","And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds."
"kjv","42","2","19","But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."
"kjv","42","2","20","And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them."
"kjv","42","2","21","And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb."
"kjv","42","2","22","And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;"
"kjv","42","2","23","(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)"
"kjv","42","2","24","And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
"kjv","42","2","25","And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him."
"kjv","42","2","26","And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ."
"kjv","42","2","27","And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,"
"kjv","42","2","28","Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,"
"kjv","42","2","29","Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:"
"kjv","42","2","30","For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,"
"kjv","42","2","31","Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;"
"kjv","42","2","32","A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel."
"kjv","42","2","33","And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him."
"kjv","42","2","34","And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;"
"kjv","42","2","35","(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed."
"kjv","42","2","36","And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;"
"kjv","42","2","37","And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day."
"kjv","42","2","38","And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","2","39","And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth."
"kjv","42","2","40","And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him."
"kjv","42","2","41","Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover."
"kjv","42","2","42","And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast."
"kjv","42","2","43","And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it."
"kjv","42","2","44","But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance."
"kjv","42","2","45","And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him."
"kjv","42","2","46","And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions."
"kjv","42","2","47","And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers."
"kjv","42","2","48","And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing."
"kjv","42","2","49","And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?"
"kjv","42","2","50","And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them."
"kjv","42","2","51","And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart."
"kjv","42","2","52","And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."
"kjv","42","3","1","Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,"
"kjv","42","3","2","Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness."
"kjv","42","3","3","And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;"
"kjv","42","3","4","As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
"kjv","42","3","5","Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;"
"kjv","42","3","6","And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
"kjv","42","3","7","Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"
"kjv","42","3","8","Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
"kjv","42","3","9","And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
"kjv","42","3","10","And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?"
"kjv","42","3","11","He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise."
"kjv","42","3","12","Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?"
"kjv","42","3","13","And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you."
"kjv","42","3","14","And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages."
"kjv","42","3","15","And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;"
"kjv","42","3","16","John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:"
"kjv","42","3","17","Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable."
"kjv","42","3","18","And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people."
"kjv","42","3","19","But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,"
"kjv","42","3","20","Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison."
"kjv","42","3","21","Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,"
"kjv","42","3","22","And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."
"kjv","42","3","23","And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,"
"kjv","42","3","24","Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,"
"kjv","42","3","25","Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,"
"kjv","42","3","26","Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,"
"kjv","42","3","27","Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,"
"kjv","42","3","28","Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,"
"kjv","42","3","29","Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,"
"kjv","42","3","30","Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,"
"kjv","42","3","31","Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,"
"kjv","42","3","32","Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,"
"kjv","42","3","33","Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,"
"kjv","42","3","34","Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,"
"kjv","42","3","35","Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,"
"kjv","42","3","36","Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,"
"kjv","42","3","37","Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,"
"kjv","42","3","38","Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God."
"kjv","42","4","1","And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,"
"kjv","42","4","2","Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered."
"kjv","42","4","3","And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread."
"kjv","42","4","4","And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
"kjv","42","4","5","And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time."
"kjv","42","4","6","And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it."
"kjv","42","4","7","If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine."
"kjv","42","4","8","And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
"kjv","42","4","9","And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:"
"kjv","42","4","10","For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:"
"kjv","42","4","11","And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."
"kjv","42","4","12","And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
"kjv","42","4","13","And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season."
"kjv","42","4","14","And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about."
"kjv","42","4","15","And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all."
"kjv","42","4","16","And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."
"kjv","42","4","17","And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,"
"kjv","42","4","18","The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"
"kjv","42","4","19","To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
"kjv","42","4","20","And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him."
"kjv","42","4","21","And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."
"kjv","42","4","22","And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?"
"kjv","42","4","23","And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country."
"kjv","42","4","24","And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country."
"kjv","42","4","25","But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;"
"kjv","42","4","26","But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow."
"kjv","42","4","27","And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian."
"kjv","42","4","28","And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,"
"kjv","42","4","29","And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong."
"kjv","42","4","30","But he passing through the midst of them went his way,"
"kjv","42","4","31","And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days."
"kjv","42","4","32","And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power."
"kjv","42","4","33","And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,"
"kjv","42","4","34","Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God."
"kjv","42","4","35","And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not."
"kjv","42","4","36","And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out."
"kjv","42","4","37","And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about."
"kjv","42","4","38","And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her."
"kjv","42","4","39","And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them."
"kjv","42","4","40","Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them."
"kjv","42","4","41","And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ."
"kjv","42","4","42","And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them."
"kjv","42","4","43","And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent."
"kjv","42","4","44","And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee."
"kjv","42","5","1","And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,"
"kjv","42","5","2","And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets."
"kjv","42","5","3","And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship."
"kjv","42","5","4","Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught."
"kjv","42","5","5","And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net."
"kjv","42","5","6","And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake."
"kjv","42","5","7","And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink."
"kjv","42","5","8","When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord."
"kjv","42","5","9","For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:"
"kjv","42","5","10","And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men."
"kjv","42","5","11","And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him."
"kjv","42","5","12","And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
"kjv","42","5","13","And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him."
"kjv","42","5","14","And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
"kjv","42","5","15","But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities."
"kjv","42","5","16","And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed."
"kjv","42","5","17","And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them."
"kjv","42","5","18","And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him."
"kjv","42","5","19","And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus."
"kjv","42","5","20","And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee."
"kjv","42","5","21","And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
"kjv","42","5","22","But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?"
"kjv","42","5","23","Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?"
"kjv","42","5","24","But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house."
"kjv","42","5","25","And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God."
"kjv","42","5","26","And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day."
"kjv","42","5","27","And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me."
"kjv","42","5","28","And he left all, rose up, and followed him."
"kjv","42","5","29","And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them."
"kjv","42","5","30","But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?"
"kjv","42","5","31","And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick."
"kjv","42","5","32","I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
"kjv","42","5","33","And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?"
"kjv","42","5","34","And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?"
"kjv","42","5","35","But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days."
"kjv","42","5","36","And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old."
"kjv","42","5","37","And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish."
"kjv","42","5","38","But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved."
"kjv","42","5","39","No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better."
"kjv","42","6","1","And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands."
"kjv","42","6","2","And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?"
"kjv","42","6","3","And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him;"
"kjv","42","6","4","How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?"
"kjv","42","6","5","And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."
"kjv","42","6","6","And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered."
"kjv","42","6","7","And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him."
"kjv","42","6","8","But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth."
"kjv","42","6","9","Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?"
"kjv","42","6","10","And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other."
"kjv","42","6","11","And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus."
"kjv","42","6","12","And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God."
"kjv","42","6","13","And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;"
"kjv","42","6","14","Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,"
"kjv","42","6","15","Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,"
"kjv","42","6","16","And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor."
"kjv","42","6","17","And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;"
"kjv","42","6","18","And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed."
"kjv","42","6","19","And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all."
"kjv","42","6","20","And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","6","21","Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."
"kjv","42","6","22","Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake."
"kjv","42","6","23","Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets."
"kjv","42","6","24","But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation."
"kjv","42","6","25","Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep."
"kjv","42","6","26","Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets."
"kjv","42","6","27","But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,"
"kjv","42","6","28","Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."
"kjv","42","6","29","And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also."
"kjv","42","6","30","Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again."
"kjv","42","6","31","And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
"kjv","42","6","32","For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them."
"kjv","42","6","33","And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same."
"kjv","42","6","34","And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again."
"kjv","42","6","35","But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."
"kjv","42","6","36","Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."
"kjv","42","6","37","Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"
"kjv","42","6","38","Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."
"kjv","42","6","39","And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?"
"kjv","42","6","40","The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."
"kjv","42","6","41","And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
"kjv","42","6","42","Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye."
"kjv","42","6","43","For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
"kjv","42","6","44","For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes."
"kjv","42","6","45","A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."
"kjv","42","6","46","And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
"kjv","42","6","47","Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:"
"kjv","42","6","48","He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."
"kjv","42","6","49","But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."
"kjv","42","7","1","Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum."
"kjv","42","7","2","And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die."
"kjv","42","7","3","And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant."
"kjv","42","7","4","And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:"
"kjv","42","7","5","For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue."
"kjv","42","7","6","Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:"
"kjv","42","7","7","Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed."
"kjv","42","7","8","For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."
"kjv","42","7","9","When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."
"kjv","42","7","10","And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick."
"kjv","42","7","11","And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people."
"kjv","42","7","12","Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her."
"kjv","42","7","13","And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not."
"kjv","42","7","14","And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise."
"kjv","42","7","15","And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother."
"kjv","42","7","16","And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people."
"kjv","42","7","17","And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about."
"kjv","42","7","18","And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things."
"kjv","42","7","19","And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?"
"kjv","42","7","20","When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?"
"kjv","42","7","21","And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight."
"kjv","42","7","22","Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached."
"kjv","42","7","23","And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me."
"kjv","42","7","24","And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?"
"kjv","42","7","25","But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts."
"kjv","42","7","26","But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet."
"kjv","42","7","27","This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee."
"kjv","42","7","28","For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
"kjv","42","7","29","And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John."
"kjv","42","7","30","But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him."
"kjv","42","7","31","And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?"
"kjv","42","7","32","They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept."
"kjv","42","7","33","For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil."
"kjv","42","7","34","The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!"
"kjv","42","7","35","But wisdom is justified of all her children."
"kjv","42","7","36","And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat."
"kjv","42","7","37","And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,"
"kjv","42","7","38","And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment."
"kjv","42","7","39","Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner."
"kjv","42","7","40","And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on."
"kjv","42","7","41","There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty."
"kjv","42","7","42","And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?"
"kjv","42","7","43","Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged."
"kjv","42","7","44","And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head."
"kjv","42","7","45","Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet."
"kjv","42","7","46","My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment."
"kjv","42","7","47","Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little."
"kjv","42","7","48","And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven."
"kjv","42","7","49","And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?"
"kjv","42","7","50","And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
"kjv","42","8","1","And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,"
"kjv","42","8","2","And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,"
"kjv","42","8","3","And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance."
"kjv","42","8","4","And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:"
"kjv","42","8","5","A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it."
"kjv","42","8","6","And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture."
"kjv","42","8","7","And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it."
"kjv","42","8","8","And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","42","8","9","And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?"
"kjv","42","8","10","And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand."
"kjv","42","8","11","Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God."
"kjv","42","8","12","Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved."
"kjv","42","8","13","They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away."
"kjv","42","8","14","And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."
"kjv","42","8","15","But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience."
"kjv","42","8","16","No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light."
"kjv","42","8","17","For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."
"kjv","42","8","18","Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have."
"kjv","42","8","19","Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press."
"kjv","42","8","20","And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee."
"kjv","42","8","21","And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it."
"kjv","42","8","22","Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth."
"kjv","42","8","23","But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy."
"kjv","42","8","24","And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm."
"kjv","42","8","25","And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him."
"kjv","42","8","26","And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee."
"kjv","42","8","27","And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs."
"kjv","42","8","28","When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not."
"kjv","42","8","29","(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)"
"kjv","42","8","30","And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him."
"kjv","42","8","31","And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep."
"kjv","42","8","32","And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them."
"kjv","42","8","33","Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked."
"kjv","42","8","34","When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country."
"kjv","42","8","35","Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid."
"kjv","42","8","36","They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed."
"kjv","42","8","37","Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again."
"kjv","42","8","38","Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,"
"kjv","42","8","39","Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him."
"kjv","42","8","40","And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him."
"kjv","42","8","41","And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:"
"kjv","42","8","42","For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him."
"kjv","42","8","43","And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,"
"kjv","42","8","44","Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched."
"kjv","42","8","45","And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"
"kjv","42","8","46","And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me."
"kjv","42","8","47","And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately."
"kjv","42","8","48","And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace."
"kjv","42","8","49","While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master."
"kjv","42","8","50","But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole."
"kjv","42","8","51","And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden."
"kjv","42","8","52","And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth."
"kjv","42","8","53","And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead."
"kjv","42","8","54","And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise."
"kjv","42","8","55","And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat."
"kjv","42","8","56","And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done."
"kjv","42","9","1","Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."
"kjv","42","9","2","And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."
"kjv","42","9","3","And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece."
"kjv","42","9","4","And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart."
"kjv","42","9","5","And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
"kjv","42","9","6","And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where."
"kjv","42","9","7","Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;"
"kjv","42","9","8","And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again."
"kjv","42","9","9","And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him."
"kjv","42","9","10","And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida."
"kjv","42","9","11","And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing."
"kjv","42","9","12","And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place."
"kjv","42","9","13","But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people."
"kjv","42","9","14","For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company."
"kjv","42","9","15","And they did so, and made them all sit down."
"kjv","42","9","16","Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude."
"kjv","42","9","17","And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets."
"kjv","42","9","18","And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?"
"kjv","42","9","19","They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
"kjv","42","9","20","He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God."
"kjv","42","9","21","And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;"
"kjv","42","9","22","Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day."
"kjv","42","9","23","And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."
"kjv","42","9","24","For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."
"kjv","42","9","25","For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?"
"kjv","42","9","26","For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."
"kjv","42","9","27","But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","9","28","And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray."
"kjv","42","9","29","And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering."
"kjv","42","9","30","And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:"
"kjv","42","9","31","Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","9","32","But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him."
"kjv","42","9","33","And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said."
"kjv","42","9","34","While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud."
"kjv","42","9","35","And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him."
"kjv","42","9","36","And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen."
"kjv","42","9","37","And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him."
"kjv","42","9","38","And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child."
"kjv","42","9","39","And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him."
"kjv","42","9","40","And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not."
"kjv","42","9","41","And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither."
"kjv","42","9","42","And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father."
"kjv","42","9","43","And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,"
"kjv","42","9","44","Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men."
"kjv","42","9","45","But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying."
"kjv","42","9","46","Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest."
"kjv","42","9","47","And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,"
"kjv","42","9","48","And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great."
"kjv","42","9","49","And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us."
"kjv","42","9","50","And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us."
"kjv","42","9","51","And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,"
"kjv","42","9","52","And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him."
"kjv","42","9","53","And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","9","54","And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?"
"kjv","42","9","55","But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of."
"kjv","42","9","56","For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village."
"kjv","42","9","57","And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest."
"kjv","42","9","58","And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
"kjv","42","9","59","And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."
"kjv","42","9","60","Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","9","61","And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house."
"kjv","42","9","62","And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","10","1","After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come."
"kjv","42","10","2","Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
"kjv","42","10","3","Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves."
"kjv","42","10","4","Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way."
"kjv","42","10","5","And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house."
"kjv","42","10","6","And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again."
"kjv","42","10","7","And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house."
"kjv","42","10","8","And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:"
"kjv","42","10","9","And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."
"kjv","42","10","10","But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,"
"kjv","42","10","11","Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."
"kjv","42","10","12","But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city."
"kjv","42","10","13","Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."
"kjv","42","10","14","But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you."
"kjv","42","10","15","And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell."
"kjv","42","10","16","He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me."
"kjv","42","10","17","And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name."
"kjv","42","10","18","And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
"kjv","42","10","19","Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
"kjv","42","10","20","Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."
"kjv","42","10","21","In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."
"kjv","42","10","22","All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him."
"kjv","42","10","23","And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:"
"kjv","42","10","24","For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them."
"kjv","42","10","25","And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
"kjv","42","10","26","He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?"
"kjv","42","10","27","And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."
"kjv","42","10","28","And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."
"kjv","42","10","29","But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?"
"kjv","42","10","30","And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead."
"kjv","42","10","31","And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side."
"kjv","42","10","32","And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side."
"kjv","42","10","33","But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,"
"kjv","42","10","34","And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him."
"kjv","42","10","35","And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee."
"kjv","42","10","36","Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?"
"kjv","42","10","37","And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."
"kjv","42","10","38","Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house."
"kjv","42","10","39","And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word."
"kjv","42","10","40","But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me."
"kjv","42","10","41","And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:"
"kjv","42","10","42","But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
"kjv","42","11","1","And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."
"kjv","42","11","2","And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth."
"kjv","42","11","3","Give us day by day our daily bread."
"kjv","42","11","4","And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."
"kjv","42","11","5","And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;"
"kjv","42","11","6","For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?"
"kjv","42","11","7","And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee."
"kjv","42","11","8","I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth."
"kjv","42","11","9","And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
"kjv","42","11","10","For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
"kjv","42","11","11","If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?"
"kjv","42","11","12","Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?"
"kjv","42","11","13","If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
"kjv","42","11","14","And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered."
"kjv","42","11","15","But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils."
"kjv","42","11","16","And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven."
"kjv","42","11","17","But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth."
"kjv","42","11","18","If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub."
"kjv","42","11","19","And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges."
"kjv","42","11","20","But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you."
"kjv","42","11","21","When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:"
"kjv","42","11","22","But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils."
"kjv","42","11","23","He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."
"kjv","42","11","24","When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out."
"kjv","42","11","25","And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished."
"kjv","42","11","26","Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first."
"kjv","42","11","27","And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked."
"kjv","42","11","28","But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."
"kjv","42","11","29","And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet."
"kjv","42","11","30","For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation."
"kjv","42","11","31","The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
"kjv","42","11","32","The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here."
"kjv","42","11","33","No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light."
"kjv","42","11","34","The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness."
"kjv","42","11","35","Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness."
"kjv","42","11","36","If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light."
"kjv","42","11","37","And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat."
"kjv","42","11","38","And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner."
"kjv","42","11","39","And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness."
"kjv","42","11","40","Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?"
"kjv","42","11","41","But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you."
"kjv","42","11","42","But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
"kjv","42","11","43","Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets."
"kjv","42","11","44","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them."
"kjv","42","11","45","Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also."
"kjv","42","11","46","And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers."
"kjv","42","11","47","Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them."
"kjv","42","11","48","Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres."
"kjv","42","11","49","Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:"
"kjv","42","11","50","That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;"
"kjv","42","11","51","From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation."
"kjv","42","11","52","Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered."
"kjv","42","11","53","And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:"
"kjv","42","11","54","Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him."
"kjv","42","12","1","In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
"kjv","42","12","2","For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known."
"kjv","42","12","3","Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."
"kjv","42","12","4","And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do."
"kjv","42","12","5","But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him."
"kjv","42","12","6","Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?"
"kjv","42","12","7","But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
"kjv","42","12","8","Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:"
"kjv","42","12","9","But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God."
"kjv","42","12","10","And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven."
"kjv","42","12","11","And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:"
"kjv","42","12","12","For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say."
"kjv","42","12","13","And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me."
"kjv","42","12","14","And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"
"kjv","42","12","15","And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
"kjv","42","12","16","And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:"
"kjv","42","12","17","And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?"
"kjv","42","12","18","And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods."
"kjv","42","12","19","And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry."
"kjv","42","12","20","But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?"
"kjv","42","12","21","So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
"kjv","42","12","22","And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on."
"kjv","42","12","23","The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment."
"kjv","42","12","24","Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?"
"kjv","42","12","25","And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?"
"kjv","42","12","26","If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?"
"kjv","42","12","27","Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
"kjv","42","12","28","If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
"kjv","42","12","29","And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind."
"kjv","42","12","30","For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things."
"kjv","42","12","31","But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you."
"kjv","42","12","32","Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
"kjv","42","12","33","Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth."
"kjv","42","12","34","For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
"kjv","42","12","35","Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;"
"kjv","42","12","36","And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately."
"kjv","42","12","37","Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."
"kjv","42","12","38","And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."
"kjv","42","12","39","And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through."
"kjv","42","12","40","Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not."
"kjv","42","12","41","Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?"
"kjv","42","12","42","And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?"
"kjv","42","12","43","Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing."
"kjv","42","12","44","Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath."
"kjv","42","12","45","But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;"
"kjv","42","12","46","The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers."
"kjv","42","12","47","And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes."
"kjv","42","12","48","But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
"kjv","42","12","49","I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?"
"kjv","42","12","50","But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!"
"kjv","42","12","51","Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:"
"kjv","42","12","52","For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three."
"kjv","42","12","53","The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law."
"kjv","42","12","54","And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is."
"kjv","42","12","55","And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass."
"kjv","42","12","56","Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?"
"kjv","42","12","57","Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
"kjv","42","12","58","When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison."
"kjv","42","12","59","I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite."
"kjv","42","13","1","There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices."
"kjv","42","13","2","And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?"
"kjv","42","13","3","I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
"kjv","42","13","4","Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?"
"kjv","42","13","5","I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
"kjv","42","13","6","He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none."
"kjv","42","13","7","Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?"
"kjv","42","13","8","And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:"
"kjv","42","13","9","And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down."
"kjv","42","13","10","And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath."
"kjv","42","13","11","And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself."
"kjv","42","13","12","And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity."
"kjv","42","13","13","And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God."
"kjv","42","13","14","And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day."
"kjv","42","13","15","The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?"
"kjv","42","13","16","And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"
"kjv","42","13","17","And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him."
"kjv","42","13","18","Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?"
"kjv","42","13","19","It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it."
"kjv","42","13","20","And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?"
"kjv","42","13","21","It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."
"kjv","42","13","22","And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","13","23","Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,"
"kjv","42","13","24","Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
"kjv","42","13","25","When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:"
"kjv","42","13","26","Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets."
"kjv","42","13","27","But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity."
"kjv","42","13","28","There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out."
"kjv","42","13","29","And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","13","30","And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."
"kjv","42","13","31","The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee."
"kjv","42","13","32","And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected."
"kjv","42","13","33","Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","13","34","O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!"
"kjv","42","13","35","Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
"kjv","42","14","1","And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him."
"kjv","42","14","2","And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy."
"kjv","42","14","3","And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?"
"kjv","42","14","4","And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;"
"kjv","42","14","5","And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?"
"kjv","42","14","6","And they could not answer him again to these things."
"kjv","42","14","7","And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,"
"kjv","42","14","8","When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;"
"kjv","42","14","9","And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room."
"kjv","42","14","10","But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee."
"kjv","42","14","11","For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
"kjv","42","14","12","Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee."
"kjv","42","14","13","But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:"
"kjv","42","14","14","And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."
"kjv","42","14","15","And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","14","16","Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:"
"kjv","42","14","17","And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready."
"kjv","42","14","18","And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused."
"kjv","42","14","19","And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused."
"kjv","42","14","20","And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come."
"kjv","42","14","21","So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind."
"kjv","42","14","22","And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room."
"kjv","42","14","23","And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled."
"kjv","42","14","24","For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper."
"kjv","42","14","25","And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,"
"kjv","42","14","26","If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
"kjv","42","14","27","And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple."
"kjv","42","14","28","For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?"
"kjv","42","14","29","Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,"
"kjv","42","14","30","Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish."
"kjv","42","14","31","Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?"
"kjv","42","14","32","Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace."
"kjv","42","14","33","So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
"kjv","42","14","34","Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?"
"kjv","42","14","35","It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"kjv","42","15","1","Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him."
"kjv","42","15","2","And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them."
"kjv","42","15","3","And he spake this parable unto them, saying,"
"kjv","42","15","4","What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?"
"kjv","42","15","5","And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing."
"kjv","42","15","6","And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost."
"kjv","42","15","7","I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance."
"kjv","42","15","8","Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?"
"kjv","42","15","9","And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost."
"kjv","42","15","10","Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
"kjv","42","15","11","And he said, A certain man had two sons:"
"kjv","42","15","12","And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living."
"kjv","42","15","13","And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living."
"kjv","42","15","14","And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want."
"kjv","42","15","15","And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine."
"kjv","42","15","16","And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him."
"kjv","42","15","17","And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!"
"kjv","42","15","18","I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,"
"kjv","42","15","19","And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants."
"kjv","42","15","20","And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him."
"kjv","42","15","21","And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son."
"kjv","42","15","22","But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:"
"kjv","42","15","23","And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:"
"kjv","42","15","24","For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry."
"kjv","42","15","25","Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing."
"kjv","42","15","26","And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant."
"kjv","42","15","27","And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound."
"kjv","42","15","28","And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him."
"kjv","42","15","29","And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:"
"kjv","42","15","30","But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf."
"kjv","42","15","31","And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine."
"kjv","42","15","32","It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found."
"kjv","42","16","1","And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods."
"kjv","42","16","2","And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward."
"kjv","42","16","3","Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed."
"kjv","42","16","4","I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses."
"kjv","42","16","5","So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?"
"kjv","42","16","6","And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty."
"kjv","42","16","7","Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore."
"kjv","42","16","8","And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light."
"kjv","42","16","9","And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations."
"kjv","42","16","10","He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much."
"kjv","42","16","11","If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?"
"kjv","42","16","12","And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?"
"kjv","42","16","13","No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"kjv","42","16","14","And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him."
"kjv","42","16","15","And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God."
"kjv","42","16","16","The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it."
"kjv","42","16","17","And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
"kjv","42","16","18","Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery."
"kjv","42","16","19","There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:"
"kjv","42","16","20","And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,"
"kjv","42","16","21","And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores."
"kjv","42","16","22","And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;"
"kjv","42","16","23","And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."
"kjv","42","16","24","And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."
"kjv","42","16","25","But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented."
"kjv","42","16","26","And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."
"kjv","42","16","27","Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:"
"kjv","42","16","28","For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment."
"kjv","42","16","29","Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them."
"kjv","42","16","30","And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent."
"kjv","42","16","31","And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
"kjv","42","17","1","Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!"
"kjv","42","17","2","It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones."
"kjv","42","17","3","Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him."
"kjv","42","17","4","And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."
"kjv","42","17","5","And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith."
"kjv","42","17","6","And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you."
"kjv","42","17","7","But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?"
"kjv","42","17","8","And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?"
"kjv","42","17","9","Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not."
"kjv","42","17","10","So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do."
"kjv","42","17","11","And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee."
"kjv","42","17","12","And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:"
"kjv","42","17","13","And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
"kjv","42","17","14","And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed."
"kjv","42","17","15","And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,"
"kjv","42","17","16","And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan."
"kjv","42","17","17","And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?"
"kjv","42","17","18","There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger."
"kjv","42","17","19","And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."
"kjv","42","17","20","And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:"
"kjv","42","17","21","Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
"kjv","42","17","22","And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it."
"kjv","42","17","23","And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them."
"kjv","42","17","24","For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day."
"kjv","42","17","25","But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation."
"kjv","42","17","26","And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man."
"kjv","42","17","27","They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
"kjv","42","17","28","Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;"
"kjv","42","17","29","But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all."
"kjv","42","17","30","Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."
"kjv","42","17","31","In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back."
"kjv","42","17","32","Remember Lot's wife."
"kjv","42","17","33","Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it."
"kjv","42","17","34","I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left."
"kjv","42","17","35","Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
"kjv","42","17","36","Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
"kjv","42","17","37","And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."
"kjv","42","18","1","And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;"
"kjv","42","18","2","Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:"
"kjv","42","18","3","And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary."
"kjv","42","18","4","And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;"
"kjv","42","18","5","Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me."
"kjv","42","18","6","And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith."
"kjv","42","18","7","And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?"
"kjv","42","18","8","I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
"kjv","42","18","9","And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:"
"kjv","42","18","10","Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican."
"kjv","42","18","11","The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican."
"kjv","42","18","12","I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess."
"kjv","42","18","13","And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner."
"kjv","42","18","14","I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
"kjv","42","18","15","And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them."
"kjv","42","18","16","But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","18","17","Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein."
"kjv","42","18","18","And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
"kjv","42","18","19","And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God."
"kjv","42","18","20","Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother."
"kjv","42","18","21","And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up."
"kjv","42","18","22","Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me."
"kjv","42","18","23","And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich."
"kjv","42","18","24","And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"
"kjv","42","18","25","For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","18","26","And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?"
"kjv","42","18","27","And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."
"kjv","42","18","28","Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee."
"kjv","42","18","29","And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,"
"kjv","42","18","30","Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting."
"kjv","42","18","31","Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished."
"kjv","42","18","32","For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:"
"kjv","42","18","33","And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again."
"kjv","42","18","34","And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken."
"kjv","42","18","35","And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:"
"kjv","42","18","36","And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant."
"kjv","42","18","37","And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
"kjv","42","18","38","And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"kjv","42","18","39","And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"kjv","42","18","40","And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,"
"kjv","42","18","41","Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight."
"kjv","42","18","42","And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee."
"kjv","42","18","43","And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."
"kjv","42","19","1","And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho."
"kjv","42","19","2","And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich."
"kjv","42","19","3","And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature."
"kjv","42","19","4","And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way."
"kjv","42","19","5","And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house."
"kjv","42","19","6","And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully."
"kjv","42","19","7","And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner."
"kjv","42","19","8","And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold."
"kjv","42","19","9","And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham."
"kjv","42","19","10","For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
"kjv","42","19","11","And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear."
"kjv","42","19","12","He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return."
"kjv","42","19","13","And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come."
"kjv","42","19","14","But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us."
"kjv","42","19","15","And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading."
"kjv","42","19","16","Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds."
"kjv","42","19","17","And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities."
"kjv","42","19","18","And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds."
"kjv","42","19","19","And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities."
"kjv","42","19","20","And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:"
"kjv","42","19","21","For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow."
"kjv","42","19","22","And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:"
"kjv","42","19","23","Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?"
"kjv","42","19","24","And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds."
"kjv","42","19","25","(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)"
"kjv","42","19","26","For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him."
"kjv","42","19","27","But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."
"kjv","42","19","28","And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","19","29","And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,"
"kjv","42","19","30","Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither."
"kjv","42","19","31","And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him."
"kjv","42","19","32","And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them."
"kjv","42","19","33","And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?"
"kjv","42","19","34","And they said, The Lord hath need of him."
"kjv","42","19","35","And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon."
"kjv","42","19","36","And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way."
"kjv","42","19","37","And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;"
"kjv","42","19","38","Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
"kjv","42","19","39","And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples."
"kjv","42","19","40","And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."
"kjv","42","19","41","And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,"
"kjv","42","19","42","Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes."
"kjv","42","19","43","For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,"
"kjv","42","19","44","And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."
"kjv","42","19","45","And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;"
"kjv","42","19","46","Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves."
"kjv","42","19","47","And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,"
"kjv","42","19","48","And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him."
"kjv","42","20","1","And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,"
"kjv","42","20","2","And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?"
"kjv","42","20","3","And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:"
"kjv","42","20","4","The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?"
"kjv","42","20","5","And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?"
"kjv","42","20","6","But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet."
"kjv","42","20","7","And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was."
"kjv","42","20","8","And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things."
"kjv","42","20","9","Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time."
"kjv","42","20","10","And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty."
"kjv","42","20","11","And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty."
"kjv","42","20","12","And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out."
"kjv","42","20","13","Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him."
"kjv","42","20","14","But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours."
"kjv","42","20","15","So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?"
"kjv","42","20","16","He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid."
"kjv","42","20","17","And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?"
"kjv","42","20","18","Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."
"kjv","42","20","19","And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them."
"kjv","42","20","20","And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor."
"kjv","42","20","21","And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:"
"kjv","42","20","22","Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?"
"kjv","42","20","23","But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?"
"kjv","42","20","24","shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's."
"kjv","42","20","25","And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's."
"kjv","42","20","26","And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace."
"kjv","42","20","27","Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,"
"kjv","42","20","28","Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."
"kjv","42","20","29","There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children."
"kjv","42","20","30","And the second took her to wife, and he died childless."
"kjv","42","20","31","And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died."
"kjv","42","20","32","Last of all the woman died also."
"kjv","42","20","33","Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife."
"kjv","42","20","34","And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:"
"kjv","42","20","35","But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:"
"kjv","42","20","36","Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection."
"kjv","42","20","37","Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
"kjv","42","20","38","For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him."
"kjv","42","20","39","Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said."
"kjv","42","20","40","And after that they durst not ask him any question at all."
"kjv","42","20","41","And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?"
"kjv","42","20","42","And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,"
"kjv","42","20","43","Till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
"kjv","42","20","44","David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?"
"kjv","42","20","45","Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,"
"kjv","42","20","46","Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;"
"kjv","42","20","47","Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation."
"kjv","42","21","1","And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury."
"kjv","42","21","2","And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites."
"kjv","42","21","3","And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:"
"kjv","42","21","4","For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had."
"kjv","42","21","5","And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,"
"kjv","42","21","6","As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
"kjv","42","21","7","And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?"
"kjv","42","21","8","And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them."
"kjv","42","21","9","But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by."
"kjv","42","21","10","Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:"
"kjv","42","21","11","And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."
"kjv","42","21","12","But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake."
"kjv","42","21","13","And it shall turn to you for a testimony."
"kjv","42","21","14","Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:"
"kjv","42","21","15","For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist."
"kjv","42","21","16","And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death."
"kjv","42","21","17","And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake."
"kjv","42","21","18","But there shall not an hair of your head perish."
"kjv","42","21","19","In your patience possess ye your souls."
"kjv","42","21","20","And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh."
"kjv","42","21","21","Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto."
"kjv","42","21","22","For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled."
"kjv","42","21","23","But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people."
"kjv","42","21","24","And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
"kjv","42","21","25","And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;"
"kjv","42","21","26","Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."
"kjv","42","21","27","And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory."
"kjv","42","21","28","And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."
"kjv","42","21","29","And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;"
"kjv","42","21","30","When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand."
"kjv","42","21","31","So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand."
"kjv","42","21","32","Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled."
"kjv","42","21","33","Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
"kjv","42","21","34","And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares."
"kjv","42","21","35","For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth."
"kjv","42","21","36","Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
"kjv","42","21","37","And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives."
"kjv","42","21","38","And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him."
"kjv","42","22","1","Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover."
"kjv","42","22","2","And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people."
"kjv","42","22","3","Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve."
"kjv","42","22","4","And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them."
"kjv","42","22","5","And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money."
"kjv","42","22","6","And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude."
"kjv","42","22","7","Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed."
"kjv","42","22","8","And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat."
"kjv","42","22","9","And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?"
"kjv","42","22","10","And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in."
"kjv","42","22","11","And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"
"kjv","42","22","12","And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready."
"kjv","42","22","13","And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover."
"kjv","42","22","14","And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him."
"kjv","42","22","15","And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:"
"kjv","42","22","16","For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","22","17","And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:"
"kjv","42","22","18","For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come."
"kjv","42","22","19","And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."
"kjv","42","22","20","Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you."
"kjv","42","22","21","But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table."
"kjv","42","22","22","And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!"
"kjv","42","22","23","And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing."
"kjv","42","22","24","And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest."
"kjv","42","22","25","And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors."
"kjv","42","22","26","But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve."
"kjv","42","22","27","For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth."
"kjv","42","22","28","Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations."
"kjv","42","22","29","And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;"
"kjv","42","22","30","That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
"kjv","42","22","31","And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:"
"kjv","42","22","32","But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."
"kjv","42","22","33","And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death."
"kjv","42","22","34","And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me."
"kjv","42","22","35","And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing."
"kjv","42","22","36","Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
"kjv","42","22","37","For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end."
"kjv","42","22","38","And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough."
"kjv","42","22","39","And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him."
"kjv","42","22","40","And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation."
"kjv","42","22","41","And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,"
"kjv","42","22","42","Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."
"kjv","42","22","43","And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."
"kjv","42","22","44","And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
"kjv","42","22","45","And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,"
"kjv","42","22","46","And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation."
"kjv","42","22","47","And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him."
"kjv","42","22","48","But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?"
"kjv","42","22","49","When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?"
"kjv","42","22","50","And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear."
"kjv","42","22","51","And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him."
"kjv","42","22","52","Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?"
"kjv","42","22","53","When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
"kjv","42","22","54","Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off."
"kjv","42","22","55","And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them."
"kjv","42","22","56","But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him."
"kjv","42","22","57","And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not."
"kjv","42","22","58","And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not."
"kjv","42","22","59","And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean."
"kjv","42","22","60","And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew."
"kjv","42","22","61","And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
"kjv","42","22","62","And Peter went out, and wept bitterly."
"kjv","42","22","63","And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him."
"kjv","42","22","64","And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?"
"kjv","42","22","65","And many other things blasphemously spake they against him."
"kjv","42","22","66","And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,"
"kjv","42","22","67","Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:"
"kjv","42","22","68","And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go."
"kjv","42","22","69","Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God."
"kjv","42","22","70","Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am."
"kjv","42","22","71","And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth."
"kjv","42","23","1","And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate."
"kjv","42","23","2","And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King."
"kjv","42","23","3","And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it."
"kjv","42","23","4","Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man."
"kjv","42","23","5","And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place."
"kjv","42","23","6","When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean."
"kjv","42","23","7","And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time."
"kjv","42","23","8","And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him."
"kjv","42","23","9","Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing."
"kjv","42","23","10","And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him."
"kjv","42","23","11","And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate."
"kjv","42","23","12","And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves."
"kjv","42","23","13","And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,"
"kjv","42","23","14","Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:"
"kjv","42","23","15","No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him."
"kjv","42","23","16","I will therefore chastise him, and release him."
"kjv","42","23","17","(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)"
"kjv","42","23","18","And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:"
"kjv","42","23","19","(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)"
"kjv","42","23","20","Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them."
"kjv","42","23","21","But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him."
"kjv","42","23","22","And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go."
"kjv","42","23","23","And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed."
"kjv","42","23","24","And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required."
"kjv","42","23","25","And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will."
"kjv","42","23","26","And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus."
"kjv","42","23","27","And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him."
"kjv","42","23","28","But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children."
"kjv","42","23","29","For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck."
"kjv","42","23","30","Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us."
"kjv","42","23","31","For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
"kjv","42","23","32","And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death."
"kjv","42","23","33","And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left."
"kjv","42","23","34","Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots."
"kjv","42","23","35","And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God."
"kjv","42","23","36","And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,"
"kjv","42","23","37","And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself."
"kjv","42","23","38","And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"kjv","42","23","39","And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us."
"kjv","42","23","40","But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?"
"kjv","42","23","41","And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss."
"kjv","42","23","42","And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."
"kjv","42","23","43","And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."
"kjv","42","23","44","And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour."
"kjv","42","23","45","And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."
"kjv","42","23","46","And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost."
"kjv","42","23","47","Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man."
"kjv","42","23","48","And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned."
"kjv","42","23","49","And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things."
"kjv","42","23","50","And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:"
"kjv","42","23","51","(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God."
"kjv","42","23","52","This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus."
"kjv","42","23","53","And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid."
"kjv","42","23","54","And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on."
"kjv","42","23","55","And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid."
"kjv","42","23","56","And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."
"kjv","42","24","1","Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them."
"kjv","42","24","2","And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre."
"kjv","42","24","3","And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","42","24","4","And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:"
"kjv","42","24","5","And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
"kjv","42","24","6","He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,"
"kjv","42","24","7","Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
"kjv","42","24","8","And they remembered his words,"
"kjv","42","24","9","And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest."
"kjv","42","24","10","It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles."
"kjv","42","24","11","And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not."
"kjv","42","24","12","Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass."
"kjv","42","24","13","And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs."
"kjv","42","24","14","And they talked together of all these things which had happened."
"kjv","42","24","15","And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them."
"kjv","42","24","16","But their eyes were holden that they should not know him."
"kjv","42","24","17","And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?"
"kjv","42","24","18","And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?"
"kjv","42","24","19","And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:"
"kjv","42","24","20","And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him."
"kjv","42","24","21","But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done."
"kjv","42","24","22","Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;"
"kjv","42","24","23","And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive."
"kjv","42","24","24","And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not."
"kjv","42","24","25","Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:"
"kjv","42","24","26","Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?"
"kjv","42","24","27","And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."
"kjv","42","24","28","And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further."
"kjv","42","24","29","But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them."
"kjv","42","24","30","And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them."
"kjv","42","24","31","And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight."
"kjv","42","24","32","And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?"
"kjv","42","24","33","And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,"
"kjv","42","24","34","Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon."
"kjv","42","24","35","And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread."
"kjv","42","24","36","And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."
"kjv","42","24","37","But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit."
"kjv","42","24","38","And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?"
"kjv","42","24","39","Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."
"kjv","42","24","40","And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet."
"kjv","42","24","41","And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?"
"kjv","42","24","42","And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb."
"kjv","42","24","43","And he took it, and did eat before them."
"kjv","42","24","44","And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me."
"kjv","42","24","45","Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,"
"kjv","42","24","46","And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:"
"kjv","42","24","47","And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
"kjv","42","24","48","And ye are witnesses of these things."
"kjv","42","24","49","And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
"kjv","42","24","50","And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them."
"kjv","42","24","51","And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven."
"kjv","42","24","52","And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:"
"kjv","42","24","53","And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen."
"kjv","43","1","1","In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"kjv","43","1","2","The same was in the beginning with God."
"kjv","43","1","3","All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
"kjv","43","1","4","In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
"kjv","43","1","5","And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
"kjv","43","1","6","There was a man sent from God, whose name was John."
"kjv","43","1","7","The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe."
"kjv","43","1","8","He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light."
"kjv","43","1","9","That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
"kjv","43","1","10","He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."
"kjv","43","1","11","He came unto his own, and his own received him not."
"kjv","43","1","12","But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
"kjv","43","1","13","Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
"kjv","43","1","14","And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
"kjv","43","1","15","John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me."
"kjv","43","1","16","And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace."
"kjv","43","1","17","For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
"kjv","43","1","18","No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
"kjv","43","1","19","And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?"
"kjv","43","1","20","And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ."
"kjv","43","1","21","And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No."
"kjv","43","1","22","Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?"
"kjv","43","1","23","He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."
"kjv","43","1","24","And they which were sent were of the Pharisees."
"kjv","43","1","25","And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?"
"kjv","43","1","26","John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;"
"kjv","43","1","27","He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose."
"kjv","43","1","28","These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing."
"kjv","43","1","29","The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
"kjv","43","1","30","This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me."
"kjv","43","1","31","And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water."
"kjv","43","1","32","And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him."
"kjv","43","1","33","And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","43","1","34","And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God."
"kjv","43","1","35","Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;"
"kjv","43","1","36","And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!"
"kjv","43","1","37","And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus."
"kjv","43","1","38","Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?"
"kjv","43","1","39","He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour."
"kjv","43","1","40","One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother."
"kjv","43","1","41","He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
"kjv","43","1","42","And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone."
"kjv","43","1","43","The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me."
"kjv","43","1","44","Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter."
"kjv","43","1","45","Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
"kjv","43","1","46","And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see."
"kjv","43","1","47","Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
"kjv","43","1","48","Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee."
"kjv","43","1","49","Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel."
"kjv","43","1","50","Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these."
"kjv","43","1","51","And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
"kjv","43","2","1","And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:"
"kjv","43","2","2","And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage."
"kjv","43","2","3","And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine."
"kjv","43","2","4","Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come."
"kjv","43","2","5","His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."
"kjv","43","2","6","And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece."
"kjv","43","2","7","Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim."
"kjv","43","2","8","And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it."
"kjv","43","2","9","When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,"
"kjv","43","2","10","And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now."
"kjv","43","2","11","This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him."
"kjv","43","2","12","After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days."
"kjv","43","2","13","And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,"
"kjv","43","2","14","And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:"
"kjv","43","2","15","And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;"
"kjv","43","2","16","And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise."
"kjv","43","2","17","And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up."
"kjv","43","2","18","Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?"
"kjv","43","2","19","Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
"kjv","43","2","20","Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?"
"kjv","43","2","21","But he spake of the temple of his body."
"kjv","43","2","22","When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said."
"kjv","43","2","23","Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did."
"kjv","43","2","24","But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,"
"kjv","43","2","25","And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."
"kjv","43","3","1","There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:"
"kjv","43","3","2","The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him."
"kjv","43","3","3","Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
"kjv","43","3","4","Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?"
"kjv","43","3","5","Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
"kjv","43","3","6","That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
"kjv","43","3","7","Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
"kjv","43","3","8","The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
"kjv","43","3","9","Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?"
"kjv","43","3","10","Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?"
"kjv","43","3","11","Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness."
"kjv","43","3","12","If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"
"kjv","43","3","13","And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."
"kjv","43","3","14","And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:"
"kjv","43","3","15","That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
"kjv","43","3","16","For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"kjv","43","3","17","For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
"kjv","43","3","18","He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
"kjv","43","3","19","And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."
"kjv","43","3","20","For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."
"kjv","43","3","21","But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
"kjv","43","3","22","After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized."
"kjv","43","3","23","And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized."
"kjv","43","3","24","For John was not yet cast into prison."
"kjv","43","3","25","Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying."
"kjv","43","3","26","And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him."
"kjv","43","3","27","John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."
"kjv","43","3","28","Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him."
"kjv","43","3","29","He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled."
"kjv","43","3","30","He must increase, but I must decrease."
"kjv","43","3","31","He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all."
"kjv","43","3","32","And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony."
"kjv","43","3","33","He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true."
"kjv","43","3","34","For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him."
"kjv","43","3","35","The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand."
"kjv","43","3","36","He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
"kjv","43","4","1","When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,"
"kjv","43","4","2","(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)"
"kjv","43","4","3","He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee."
"kjv","43","4","4","And he must needs go through Samaria."
"kjv","43","4","5","Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph."
"kjv","43","4","6","Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour."
"kjv","43","4","7","There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink."
"kjv","43","4","8","(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)"
"kjv","43","4","9","Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans."
"kjv","43","4","10","Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."
"kjv","43","4","11","The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?"
"kjv","43","4","12","Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?"
"kjv","43","4","13","Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:"
"kjv","43","4","14","But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
"kjv","43","4","15","The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw."
"kjv","43","4","16","Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither."
"kjv","43","4","17","The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:"
"kjv","43","4","18","For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly."
"kjv","43","4","19","The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet."
"kjv","43","4","20","Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
"kjv","43","4","21","Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father."
"kjv","43","4","22","Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews."
"kjv","43","4","23","But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him."
"kjv","43","4","24","God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
"kjv","43","4","25","The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things."
"kjv","43","4","26","Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he."
"kjv","43","4","27","And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?"
"kjv","43","4","28","The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,"
"kjv","43","4","29","Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?"
"kjv","43","4","30","Then they went out of the city, and came unto him."
"kjv","43","4","31","In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat."
"kjv","43","4","32","But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of."
"kjv","43","4","33","Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?"
"kjv","43","4","34","Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."
"kjv","43","4","35","Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."
"kjv","43","4","36","And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together."
"kjv","43","4","37","And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth."
"kjv","43","4","38","I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours."
"kjv","43","4","39","And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did."
"kjv","43","4","40","So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days."
"kjv","43","4","41","And many more believed because of his own word;"
"kjv","43","4","42","And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world."
"kjv","43","4","43","Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee."
"kjv","43","4","44","For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country."
"kjv","43","4","45","Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast."
"kjv","43","4","46","So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum."
"kjv","43","4","47","When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death."
"kjv","43","4","48","Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe."
"kjv","43","4","49","The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die."
"kjv","43","4","50","Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way."
"kjv","43","4","51","And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth."
"kjv","43","4","52","Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
"kjv","43","4","53","So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house."
"kjv","43","4","54","This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee."
"kjv","43","5","1","After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","43","5","2","Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches."
"kjv","43","5","3","In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water."
"kjv","43","5","4","For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."
"kjv","43","5","5","And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years."
"kjv","43","5","6","When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?"
"kjv","43","5","7","The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me."
"kjv","43","5","8","Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."
"kjv","43","5","9","And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath."
"kjv","43","5","10","The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed."
"kjv","43","5","11","He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk."
"kjv","43","5","12","Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?"
"kjv","43","5","13","And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place."
"kjv","43","5","14","Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
"kjv","43","5","15","The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole."
"kjv","43","5","16","And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day."
"kjv","43","5","17","But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work."
"kjv","43","5","18","Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God."
"kjv","43","5","19","Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
"kjv","43","5","20","For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel."
"kjv","43","5","21","For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will."
"kjv","43","5","22","For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"
"kjv","43","5","23","That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him."
"kjv","43","5","24","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."
"kjv","43","5","25","Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live."
"kjv","43","5","26","For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;"
"kjv","43","5","27","And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man."
"kjv","43","5","28","Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,"
"kjv","43","5","29","And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
"kjv","43","5","30","I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
"kjv","43","5","31","If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true."
"kjv","43","5","32","There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true."
"kjv","43","5","33","Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth."
"kjv","43","5","34","But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved."
"kjv","43","5","35","He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light."
"kjv","43","5","36","But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me."
"kjv","43","5","37","And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape."
"kjv","43","5","38","And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not."
"kjv","43","5","39","Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
"kjv","43","5","40","And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life."
"kjv","43","5","41","I receive not honour from men."
"kjv","43","5","42","But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you."
"kjv","43","5","43","I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."
"kjv","43","5","44","How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?"
"kjv","43","5","45","Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust."
"kjv","43","5","46","For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me."
"kjv","43","5","47","But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"
"kjv","43","6","1","After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias."
"kjv","43","6","2","And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased."
"kjv","43","6","3","And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples."
"kjv","43","6","4","And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh."
"kjv","43","6","5","When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"
"kjv","43","6","6","And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do."
"kjv","43","6","7","Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little."
"kjv","43","6","8","One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,"
"kjv","43","6","9","There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?"
"kjv","43","6","10","And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand."
"kjv","43","6","11","And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would."
"kjv","43","6","12","When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost."
"kjv","43","6","13","Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten."
"kjv","43","6","14","Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world."
"kjv","43","6","15","When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone."
"kjv","43","6","16","And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,"
"kjv","43","6","17","And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them."
"kjv","43","6","18","And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew."
"kjv","43","6","19","So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid."
"kjv","43","6","20","But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid."
"kjv","43","6","21","Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went."
"kjv","43","6","22","The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;"
"kjv","43","6","23","(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)"
"kjv","43","6","24","When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus."
"kjv","43","6","25","And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"
"kjv","43","6","26","Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled."
"kjv","43","6","27","Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."
"kjv","43","6","28","Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?"
"kjv","43","6","29","Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."
"kjv","43","6","30","They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?"
"kjv","43","6","31","Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat."
"kjv","43","6","32","Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven."
"kjv","43","6","33","For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world."
"kjv","43","6","34","Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread."
"kjv","43","6","35","And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
"kjv","43","6","36","But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not."
"kjv","43","6","37","All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
"kjv","43","6","38","For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me."
"kjv","43","6","39","And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day."
"kjv","43","6","40","And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
"kjv","43","6","41","The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven."
"kjv","43","6","42","And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?"
"kjv","43","6","43","Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves."
"kjv","43","6","44","No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day."
"kjv","43","6","45","It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."
"kjv","43","6","46","Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father."
"kjv","43","6","47","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
"kjv","43","6","48","I am that bread of life."
"kjv","43","6","49","Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead."
"kjv","43","6","50","This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die."
"kjv","43","6","51","I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
"kjv","43","6","52","The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
"kjv","43","6","53","Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you."
"kjv","43","6","54","Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
"kjv","43","6","55","For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed."
"kjv","43","6","56","He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him."
"kjv","43","6","57","As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me."
"kjv","43","6","58","This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever."
"kjv","43","6","59","These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum."
"kjv","43","6","60","Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?"
"kjv","43","6","61","When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?"
"kjv","43","6","62","What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?"
"kjv","43","6","63","It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
"kjv","43","6","64","But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him."
"kjv","43","6","65","And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father."
"kjv","43","6","66","From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."
"kjv","43","6","67","Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?"
"kjv","43","6","68","Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."
"kjv","43","6","69","And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."
"kjv","43","6","70","Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
"kjv","43","6","71","He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve."
"kjv","43","7","1","After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him."
"kjv","43","7","2","Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand."
"kjv","43","7","3","His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest."
"kjv","43","7","4","For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world."
"kjv","43","7","5","For neither did his brethren believe in him."
"kjv","43","7","6","Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready."
"kjv","43","7","7","The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil."
"kjv","43","7","8","Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come."
"kjv","43","7","9","When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee."
"kjv","43","7","10","But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret."
"kjv","43","7","11","Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?"
"kjv","43","7","12","And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people."
"kjv","43","7","13","Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews."
"kjv","43","7","14","Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught."
"kjv","43","7","15","And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?"
"kjv","43","7","16","Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me."
"kjv","43","7","17","If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."
"kjv","43","7","18","He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him."
"kjv","43","7","19","Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?"
"kjv","43","7","20","The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?"
"kjv","43","7","21","Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel."
"kjv","43","7","22","Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man."
"kjv","43","7","23","If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?"
"kjv","43","7","24","Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
"kjv","43","7","25","Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?"
"kjv","43","7","26","But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?"
"kjv","43","7","27","Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is."
"kjv","43","7","28","Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not."
"kjv","43","7","29","But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me."
"kjv","43","7","30","Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come."
"kjv","43","7","31","And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?"
"kjv","43","7","32","The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him."
"kjv","43","7","33","Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me."
"kjv","43","7","34","Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come."
"kjv","43","7","35","Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?"
"kjv","43","7","36","What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?"
"kjv","43","7","37","In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink."
"kjv","43","7","38","He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."
"kjv","43","7","39","(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)"
"kjv","43","7","40","Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet."
"kjv","43","7","41","Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?"
"kjv","43","7","42","Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"
"kjv","43","7","43","So there was a division among the people because of him."
"kjv","43","7","44","And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him."
"kjv","43","7","45","Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?"
"kjv","43","7","46","The officers answered, Never man spake like this man."
"kjv","43","7","47","Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?"
"kjv","43","7","48","Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?"
"kjv","43","7","49","But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed."
"kjv","43","7","50","Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)"
"kjv","43","7","51","Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?"
"kjv","43","7","52","They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet."
"kjv","43","7","53","And every man went unto his own house."
"kjv","43","8","1","Jesus went unto the mount of Olives."
"kjv","43","8","2","And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them."
"kjv","43","8","3","And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,"
"kjv","43","8","4","They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act."
"kjv","43","8","5","Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?"
"kjv","43","8","6","This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not."
"kjv","43","8","7","So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
"kjv","43","8","8","And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground."
"kjv","43","8","9","And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst."
"kjv","43","8","10","When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?"
"kjv","43","8","11","She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
"kjv","43","8","12","Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
"kjv","43","8","13","The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true."
"kjv","43","8","14","Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go."
"kjv","43","8","15","Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man."
"kjv","43","8","16","And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me."
"kjv","43","8","17","It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true."
"kjv","43","8","18","I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me."
"kjv","43","8","19","Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also."
"kjv","43","8","20","These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come."
"kjv","43","8","21","Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come."
"kjv","43","8","22","Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come."
"kjv","43","8","23","And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world."
"kjv","43","8","24","I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."
"kjv","43","8","25","Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning."
"kjv","43","8","26","I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him."
"kjv","43","8","27","They understood not that he spake to them of the Father."
"kjv","43","8","28","Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things."
"kjv","43","8","29","And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him."
"kjv","43","8","30","As he spake these words, many believed on him."
"kjv","43","8","31","Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;"
"kjv","43","8","32","And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
"kjv","43","8","33","They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?"
"kjv","43","8","34","Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin."
"kjv","43","8","35","And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever."
"kjv","43","8","36","If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
"kjv","43","8","37","I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you."
"kjv","43","8","38","I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father."
"kjv","43","8","39","They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham."
"kjv","43","8","40","But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham."
"kjv","43","8","41","Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God."
"kjv","43","8","42","Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me."
"kjv","43","8","43","Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word."
"kjv","43","8","44","Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
"kjv","43","8","45","And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not."
"kjv","43","8","46","Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?"
"kjv","43","8","47","He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God."
"kjv","43","8","48","Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?"
"kjv","43","8","49","Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me."
"kjv","43","8","50","And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth."
"kjv","43","8","51","Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death."
"kjv","43","8","52","Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death."
"kjv","43","8","53","Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?"
"kjv","43","8","54","Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:"
"kjv","43","8","55","Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying."
"kjv","43","8","56","Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
"kjv","43","8","57","Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?"
"kjv","43","8","58","Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."
"kjv","43","8","59","Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by."
"kjv","43","9","1","And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth."
"kjv","43","9","2","And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?"
"kjv","43","9","3","Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
"kjv","43","9","4","I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
"kjv","43","9","5","As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
"kjv","43","9","6","When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,"
"kjv","43","9","7","And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing."
"kjv","43","9","8","The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?"
"kjv","43","9","9","Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he."
"kjv","43","9","10","Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?"
"kjv","43","9","11","He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight."
"kjv","43","9","12","Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not."
"kjv","43","9","13","They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind."
"kjv","43","9","14","And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes."
"kjv","43","9","15","Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see."
"kjv","43","9","16","Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them."
"kjv","43","9","17","They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet."
"kjv","43","9","18","But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight."
"kjv","43","9","19","And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?"
"kjv","43","9","20","His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:"
"kjv","43","9","21","But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself."
"kjv","43","9","22","These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue."
"kjv","43","9","23","Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him."
"kjv","43","9","24","Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner."
"kjv","43","9","25","He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
"kjv","43","9","26","Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?"
"kjv","43","9","27","He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?"
"kjv","43","9","28","Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples."
"kjv","43","9","29","We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is."
"kjv","43","9","30","The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes."
"kjv","43","9","31","Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth."
"kjv","43","9","32","Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind."
"kjv","43","9","33","If this man were not of God, he could do nothing."
"kjv","43","9","34","They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out."
"kjv","43","9","35","Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?"
"kjv","43","9","36","He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?"
"kjv","43","9","37","And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee."
"kjv","43","9","38","And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him."
"kjv","43","9","39","And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind."
"kjv","43","9","40","And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?"
"kjv","43","9","41","Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth."
"kjv","43","10","1","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."
"kjv","43","10","2","But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep."
"kjv","43","10","3","To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out."
"kjv","43","10","4","And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice."
"kjv","43","10","5","And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers."
"kjv","43","10","6","This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them."
"kjv","43","10","7","Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
"kjv","43","10","8","All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them."
"kjv","43","10","9","I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
"kjv","43","10","10","The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
"kjv","43","10","11","I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
"kjv","43","10","12","But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep."
"kjv","43","10","13","The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep."
"kjv","43","10","14","I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."
"kjv","43","10","15","As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep."
"kjv","43","10","16","And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."
"kjv","43","10","17","Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again."
"kjv","43","10","18","No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."
"kjv","43","10","19","There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings."
"kjv","43","10","20","And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?"
"kjv","43","10","21","Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?"
"kjv","43","10","22","And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter."
"kjv","43","10","23","And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch."
"kjv","43","10","24","Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly."
"kjv","43","10","25","Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me."
"kjv","43","10","26","But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you."
"kjv","43","10","27","My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"
"kjv","43","10","28","And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
"kjv","43","10","29","My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
"kjv","43","10","30","I and my Father are one."
"kjv","43","10","31","Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him."
"kjv","43","10","32","Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?"
"kjv","43","10","33","The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."
"kjv","43","10","34","Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"
"kjv","43","10","35","If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;"
"kjv","43","10","36","Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"
"kjv","43","10","37","If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not."
"kjv","43","10","38","But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him."
"kjv","43","10","39","Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,"
"kjv","43","10","40","And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode."
"kjv","43","10","41","And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true."
"kjv","43","10","42","And many believed on him there."
"kjv","43","11","1","Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha."
"kjv","43","11","2","(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)"
"kjv","43","11","3","Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick."
"kjv","43","11","4","When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby."
"kjv","43","11","5","Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus."
"kjv","43","11","6","When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was."
"kjv","43","11","7","Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again."
"kjv","43","11","8","His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?"
"kjv","43","11","9","Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world."
"kjv","43","11","10","But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him."
"kjv","43","11","11","These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."
"kjv","43","11","12","Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well."
"kjv","43","11","13","Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep."
"kjv","43","11","14","Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead."
"kjv","43","11","15","And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him."
"kjv","43","11","16","Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him."
"kjv","43","11","17","Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already."
"kjv","43","11","18","Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:"
"kjv","43","11","19","And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother."
"kjv","43","11","20","Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house."
"kjv","43","11","21","Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died."
"kjv","43","11","22","But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee."
"kjv","43","11","23","Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again."
"kjv","43","11","24","Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
"kjv","43","11","25","Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:"
"kjv","43","11","26","And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
"kjv","43","11","27","She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world."
"kjv","43","11","28","And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee."
"kjv","43","11","29","As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him."
"kjv","43","11","30","Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him."
"kjv","43","11","31","The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there."
"kjv","43","11","32","Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died."
"kjv","43","11","33","When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,"
"kjv","43","11","34","And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see."
"kjv","43","11","35","Jesus wept."
"kjv","43","11","36","Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!"
"kjv","43","11","37","And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?"
"kjv","43","11","38","Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it."
"kjv","43","11","39","Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days."
"kjv","43","11","40","Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
"kjv","43","11","41","Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me."
"kjv","43","11","42","And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me."
"kjv","43","11","43","And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth."
"kjv","43","11","44","And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
"kjv","43","11","45","Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him."
"kjv","43","11","46","But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done."
"kjv","43","11","47","Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles."
"kjv","43","11","48","If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation."
"kjv","43","11","49","And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,"
"kjv","43","11","50","Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not."
"kjv","43","11","51","And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;"
"kjv","43","11","52","And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad."
"kjv","43","11","53","Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death."
"kjv","43","11","54","Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples."
"kjv","43","11","55","And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves."
"kjv","43","11","56","Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?"
"kjv","43","11","57","Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him."
"kjv","43","12","1","Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead."
"kjv","43","12","2","There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him."
"kjv","43","12","3","Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment."
"kjv","43","12","4","Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,"
"kjv","43","12","5","Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?"
"kjv","43","12","6","This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein."
"kjv","43","12","7","Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this."
"kjv","43","12","8","For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always."
"kjv","43","12","9","Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead."
"kjv","43","12","10","But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;"
"kjv","43","12","11","Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus."
"kjv","43","12","12","On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,"
"kjv","43","12","13","Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord."
"kjv","43","12","14","And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,"
"kjv","43","12","15","Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt."
"kjv","43","12","16","These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him."
"kjv","43","12","17","The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record."
"kjv","43","12","18","For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle."
"kjv","43","12","19","The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him."
"kjv","43","12","20","And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:"
"kjv","43","12","21","The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus."
"kjv","43","12","22","Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus."
"kjv","43","12","23","And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified."
"kjv","43","12","24","Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
"kjv","43","12","25","He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."
"kjv","43","12","26","If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour."
"kjv","43","12","27","Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour."
"kjv","43","12","28","Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
"kjv","43","12","29","The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him."
"kjv","43","12","30","Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes."
"kjv","43","12","31","Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out."
"kjv","43","12","32","And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."
"kjv","43","12","33","This he said, signifying what death he should die."
"kjv","43","12","34","The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?"
"kjv","43","12","35","Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth."
"kjv","43","12","36","While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them."
"kjv","43","12","37","But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:"
"kjv","43","12","38","That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
"kjv","43","12","39","Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,"
"kjv","43","12","40","He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."
"kjv","43","12","41","These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him."
"kjv","43","12","42","Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:"
"kjv","43","12","43","For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God."
"kjv","43","12","44","Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me."
"kjv","43","12","45","And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me."
"kjv","43","12","46","I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness."
"kjv","43","12","47","And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world."
"kjv","43","12","48","He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
"kjv","43","12","49","For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak."
"kjv","43","12","50","And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."
"kjv","43","13","1","Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end."
"kjv","43","13","2","And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;"
"kjv","43","13","3","Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;"
"kjv","43","13","4","He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself."
"kjv","43","13","5","After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded."
"kjv","43","13","6","Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?"
"kjv","43","13","7","Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter."
"kjv","43","13","8","Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me."
"kjv","43","13","9","Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
"kjv","43","13","10","Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all."
"kjv","43","13","11","For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean."
"kjv","43","13","12","So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?"
"kjv","43","13","13","Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am."
"kjv","43","13","14","If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet."
"kjv","43","13","15","For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."
"kjv","43","13","16","Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him."
"kjv","43","13","17","If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
"kjv","43","13","18","I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me."
"kjv","43","13","19","Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he."
"kjv","43","13","20","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
"kjv","43","13","21","When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."
"kjv","43","13","22","Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake."
"kjv","43","13","23","Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved."
"kjv","43","13","24","Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake."
"kjv","43","13","25","He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?"
"kjv","43","13","26","Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon."
"kjv","43","13","27","And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly."
"kjv","43","13","28","Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him."
"kjv","43","13","29","For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor."
"kjv","43","13","30","He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night."
"kjv","43","13","31","Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him."
"kjv","43","13","32","If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him."
"kjv","43","13","33","Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you."
"kjv","43","13","34","A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
"kjv","43","13","35","By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
"kjv","43","13","36","Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards."
"kjv","43","13","37","Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake."
"kjv","43","13","38","Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice."
"kjv","43","14","1","Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."
"kjv","43","14","2","In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."
"kjv","43","14","3","And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
"kjv","43","14","4","And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know."
"kjv","43","14","5","Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?"
"kjv","43","14","6","Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
"kjv","43","14","7","If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
"kjv","43","14","8","Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
"kjv","43","14","9","Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father?"
"kjv","43","14","10","Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
"kjv","43","14","11","Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake."
"kjv","43","14","12","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
"kjv","43","14","13","And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
"kjv","43","14","14","If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."
"kjv","43","14","15","If ye love me, keep my commandments."
"kjv","43","14","16","And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"
"kjv","43","14","17","Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."
"kjv","43","14","18","I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
"kjv","43","14","19","Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also."
"kjv","43","14","20","At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you."
"kjv","43","14","21","He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."
"kjv","43","14","22","Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?"
"kjv","43","14","23","Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
"kjv","43","14","24","He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me."
"kjv","43","14","25","These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you."
"kjv","43","14","26","But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
"kjv","43","14","27","Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
"kjv","43","14","28","Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I."
"kjv","43","14","29","And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe."
"kjv","43","14","30","Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."
"kjv","43","14","31","But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence."
"kjv","43","15","1","I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman."
"kjv","43","15","2","Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit."
"kjv","43","15","3","Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."
"kjv","43","15","4","Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me."
"kjv","43","15","5","I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
"kjv","43","15","6","If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."
"kjv","43","15","7","If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."
"kjv","43","15","8","Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples."
"kjv","43","15","9","As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."
"kjv","43","15","10","If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."
"kjv","43","15","11","These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."
"kjv","43","15","12","This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you."
"kjv","43","15","13","Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
"kjv","43","15","14","Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."
"kjv","43","15","15","Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
"kjv","43","15","16","Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."
"kjv","43","15","17","These things I command you, that ye love one another."
"kjv","43","15","18","If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."
"kjv","43","15","19","If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
"kjv","43","15","20","Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."
"kjv","43","15","21","But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me."
"kjv","43","15","22","If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin."
"kjv","43","15","23","He that hateth me hateth my Father also."
"kjv","43","15","24","If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father."
"kjv","43","15","25","But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause."
"kjv","43","15","26","But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:"
"kjv","43","15","27","And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning."
"kjv","43","16","1","These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended."
"kjv","43","16","2","They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service."
"kjv","43","16","3","And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me."
"kjv","43","16","4","But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you."
"kjv","43","16","5","But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?"
"kjv","43","16","6","But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart."
"kjv","43","16","7","Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."
"kjv","43","16","8","And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"
"kjv","43","16","9","Of sin, because they believe not on me;"
"kjv","43","16","10","Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;"
"kjv","43","16","11","Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged."
"kjv","43","16","12","I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."
"kjv","43","16","13","Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
"kjv","43","16","14","He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
"kjv","43","16","15","All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
"kjv","43","16","16","A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father."
"kjv","43","16","17","Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?"
"kjv","43","16","18","They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith."
"kjv","43","16","19","Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?"
"kjv","43","16","20","Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."
"kjv","43","16","21","A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world."
"kjv","43","16","22","And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you."
"kjv","43","16","23","And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you."
"kjv","43","16","24","Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."
"kjv","43","16","25","These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father."
"kjv","43","16","26","At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:"
"kjv","43","16","27","For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God."
"kjv","43","16","28","I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
"kjv","43","16","29","His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb."
"kjv","43","16","30","Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God."
"kjv","43","16","31","Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?"
"kjv","43","16","32","Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me."
"kjv","43","16","33","These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
"kjv","43","17","1","These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:"
"kjv","43","17","2","As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him."
"kjv","43","17","3","And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
"kjv","43","17","4","I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do."
"kjv","43","17","5","And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
"kjv","43","17","6","I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word."
"kjv","43","17","7","Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee."
"kjv","43","17","8","For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me."
"kjv","43","17","9","I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine."
"kjv","43","17","10","And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them."
"kjv","43","17","11","And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are."
"kjv","43","17","12","While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."
"kjv","43","17","13","And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves."
"kjv","43","17","14","I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."
"kjv","43","17","15","I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil."
"kjv","43","17","16","They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."
"kjv","43","17","17","Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
"kjv","43","17","18","As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world."
"kjv","43","17","19","And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth."
"kjv","43","17","20","Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;"
"kjv","43","17","21","That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."
"kjv","43","17","22","And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:"
"kjv","43","17","23","I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me."
"kjv","43","17","24","Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world."
"kjv","43","17","25","O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me."
"kjv","43","17","26","And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them."
"kjv","43","18","1","When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples."
"kjv","43","18","2","And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples."
"kjv","43","18","3","Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons."
"kjv","43","18","4","Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?"
"kjv","43","18","5","They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them."
"kjv","43","18","6","As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground."
"kjv","43","18","7","Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth."
"kjv","43","18","8","Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:"
"kjv","43","18","9","That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none."
"kjv","43","18","10","Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus."
"kjv","43","18","11","Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"
"kjv","43","18","12","Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,"
"kjv","43","18","13","And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year."
"kjv","43","18","14","Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people."
"kjv","43","18","15","And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest."
"kjv","43","18","16","But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter."
"kjv","43","18","17","Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not."
"kjv","43","18","18","And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself."
"kjv","43","18","19","The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine."
"kjv","43","18","20","Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing."
"kjv","43","18","21","Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said."
"kjv","43","18","22","And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?"
"kjv","43","18","23","Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?"
"kjv","43","18","24","Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest."
"kjv","43","18","25","And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not."
"kjv","43","18","26","One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?"
"kjv","43","18","27","Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew."
"kjv","43","18","28","Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover."
"kjv","43","18","29","Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?"
"kjv","43","18","30","They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee."
"kjv","43","18","31","Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:"
"kjv","43","18","32","That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die."
"kjv","43","18","33","Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?"
"kjv","43","18","34","Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?"
"kjv","43","18","35","Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?"
"kjv","43","18","36","Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."
"kjv","43","18","37","Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice."
"kjv","43","18","38","Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all."
"kjv","43","18","39","But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"
"kjv","43","18","40","Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber."
"kjv","43","19","1","Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him."
"kjv","43","19","2","And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,"
"kjv","43","19","3","And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands."
"kjv","43","19","4","Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him."
"kjv","43","19","5","Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!"
"kjv","43","19","6","When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him."
"kjv","43","19","7","The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
"kjv","43","19","8","When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;"
"kjv","43","19","9","And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer."
"kjv","43","19","10","Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?"
"kjv","43","19","11","Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin."
"kjv","43","19","12","And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar."
"kjv","43","19","13","When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha."
"kjv","43","19","14","And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!"
"kjv","43","19","15","But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar."
"kjv","43","19","16","Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away."
"kjv","43","19","17","And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:"
"kjv","43","19","18","Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst."
"kjv","43","19","19","And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"kjv","43","19","20","This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin."
"kjv","43","19","21","Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews."
"kjv","43","19","22","Pilate answered, What I have written I have written."
"kjv","43","19","23","Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout."
"kjv","43","19","24","They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did."
"kjv","43","19","25","Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."
"kjv","43","19","26","When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!"
"kjv","43","19","27","Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."
"kjv","43","19","28","After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst."
"kjv","43","19","29","Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth."
"kjv","43","19","30","When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."
"kjv","43","19","31","The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away."
"kjv","43","19","32","Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him."
"kjv","43","19","33","But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:"
"kjv","43","19","34","But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water."
"kjv","43","19","35","And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe."
"kjv","43","19","36","For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken."
"kjv","43","19","37","And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."
"kjv","43","19","38","And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus."
"kjv","43","19","39","And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight."
"kjv","43","19","40","Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury."
"kjv","43","19","41","Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid."
"kjv","43","19","42","There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand."
"kjv","43","20","1","The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."
"kjv","43","20","2","Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him."
"kjv","43","20","3","Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre."
"kjv","43","20","4","So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre."
"kjv","43","20","5","And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in."
"kjv","43","20","6","Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,"
"kjv","43","20","7","And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself."
"kjv","43","20","8","Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed."
"kjv","43","20","9","For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."
"kjv","43","20","10","Then the disciples went away again unto their own home."
"kjv","43","20","11","But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,"
"kjv","43","20","12","And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain."
"kjv","43","20","13","And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him."
"kjv","43","20","14","And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus."
"kjv","43","20","15","Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away."
"kjv","43","20","16","Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master."
"kjv","43","20","17","Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
"kjv","43","20","18","Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her."
"kjv","43","20","19","Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you."
"kjv","43","20","20","And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord."
"kjv","43","20","21","Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."
"kjv","43","20","22","And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:"
"kjv","43","20","23","Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."
"kjv","43","20","24","But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came."
"kjv","43","20","25","The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."
"kjv","43","20","26","And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you."
"kjv","43","20","27","Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."
"kjv","43","20","28","And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."
"kjv","43","20","29","Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
"kjv","43","20","30","And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:"
"kjv","43","20","31","But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."
"kjv","43","21","1","After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself."
"kjv","43","21","2","There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples."
"kjv","43","21","3","Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing."
"kjv","43","21","4","But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus."
"kjv","43","21","5","Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No."
"kjv","43","21","6","And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."
"kjv","43","21","7","Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea."
"kjv","43","21","8","And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes."
"kjv","43","21","9","As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread."
"kjv","43","21","10","Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught."
"kjv","43","21","11","Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken."
"kjv","43","21","12","Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord."
"kjv","43","21","13","Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise."
"kjv","43","21","14","This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead."
"kjv","43","21","15","So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs."
"kjv","43","21","16","He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep."
"kjv","43","21","17","He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep."
"kjv","43","21","18","Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not."
"kjv","43","21","19","This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me."
"kjv","43","21","20","Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?"
"kjv","43","21","21","Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?"
"kjv","43","21","22","Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me."
"kjv","43","21","23","Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?"
"kjv","43","21","24","This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true."
"kjv","43","21","25","And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."
"kjv","44","1","1","The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,"
"kjv","44","1","2","Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:"
"kjv","44","1","3","To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:"
"kjv","44","1","4","And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me."
"kjv","44","1","5","For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."
"kjv","44","1","6","When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?"
"kjv","44","1","7","And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power."
"kjv","44","1","8","But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
"kjv","44","1","9","And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight."
"kjv","44","1","10","And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;"
"kjv","44","1","11","Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
"kjv","44","1","12","Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey."
"kjv","44","1","13","And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James."
"kjv","44","1","14","These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren."
"kjv","44","1","15","And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)"
"kjv","44","1","16","Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus."
"kjv","44","1","17","For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry."
"kjv","44","1","18","Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."
"kjv","44","1","19","And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood."
"kjv","44","1","20","For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take."
"kjv","44","1","21","Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,"
"kjv","44","1","22","Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection."
"kjv","44","1","23","And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias."
"kjv","44","1","24","And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,"
"kjv","44","1","25","That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."
"kjv","44","1","26","And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
"kjv","44","2","1","And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place."
"kjv","44","2","2","And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."
"kjv","44","2","3","And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them."
"kjv","44","2","4","And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
"kjv","44","2","5","And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven."
"kjv","44","2","6","Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language."
"kjv","44","2","7","And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?"
"kjv","44","2","8","And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?"
"kjv","44","2","9","Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,"
"kjv","44","2","10","Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,"
"kjv","44","2","11","Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God."
"kjv","44","2","12","And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?"
"kjv","44","2","13","Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine."
"kjv","44","2","14","But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:"
"kjv","44","2","15","For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day."
"kjv","44","2","16","But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;"
"kjv","44","2","17","And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:"
"kjv","44","2","18","And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:"
"kjv","44","2","19","And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:"
"kjv","44","2","20","The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:"
"kjv","44","2","21","And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"kjv","44","2","22","Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:"
"kjv","44","2","23","Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:"
"kjv","44","2","24","Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."
"kjv","44","2","25","For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:"
"kjv","44","2","26","Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:"
"kjv","44","2","27","Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."
"kjv","44","2","28","Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance."
"kjv","44","2","29","Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day."
"kjv","44","2","30","Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;"
"kjv","44","2","31","He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption."
"kjv","44","2","32","This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses."
"kjv","44","2","33","Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."
"kjv","44","2","34","For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,"
"kjv","44","2","35","Until I make thy foes thy footstool."
"kjv","44","2","36","Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ."
"kjv","44","2","37","Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
"kjv","44","2","38","Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","2","39","For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
"kjv","44","2","40","And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation."
"kjv","44","2","41","Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
"kjv","44","2","42","And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
"kjv","44","2","43","And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles."
"kjv","44","2","44","And all that believed were together, and had all things common;"
"kjv","44","2","45","And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need."
"kjv","44","2","46","And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,"
"kjv","44","2","47","Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
"kjv","44","3","1","Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour."
"kjv","44","3","2","And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;"
"kjv","44","3","3","Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms."
"kjv","44","3","4","And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us."
"kjv","44","3","5","And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them."
"kjv","44","3","6","Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
"kjv","44","3","7","And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength."
"kjv","44","3","8","And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God."
"kjv","44","3","9","And all the people saw him walking and praising God:"
"kjv","44","3","10","And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him."
"kjv","44","3","11","And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering."
"kjv","44","3","12","And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?"
"kjv","44","3","13","The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go."
"kjv","44","3","14","But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;"
"kjv","44","3","15","And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses."
"kjv","44","3","16","And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."
"kjv","44","3","17","And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers."
"kjv","44","3","18","But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled."
"kjv","44","3","19","Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
"kjv","44","3","20","And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:"
"kjv","44","3","21","Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."
"kjv","44","3","22","For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you."
"kjv","44","3","23","And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."
"kjv","44","3","24","Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days."
"kjv","44","3","25","Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed."
"kjv","44","3","26","Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities."
"kjv","44","4","1","And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,"
"kjv","44","4","2","Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead."
"kjv","44","4","3","And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide."
"kjv","44","4","4","Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand."
"kjv","44","4","5","And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,"
"kjv","44","4","6","And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","4","7","And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?"
"kjv","44","4","8","Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,"
"kjv","44","4","9","If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;"
"kjv","44","4","10","Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole."
"kjv","44","4","11","This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner."
"kjv","44","4","12","Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
"kjv","44","4","13","Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."
"kjv","44","4","14","And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it."
"kjv","44","4","15","But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,"
"kjv","44","4","16","Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it."
"kjv","44","4","17","But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name."
"kjv","44","4","18","And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus."
"kjv","44","4","19","But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye."
"kjv","44","4","20","For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."
"kjv","44","4","21","So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done."
"kjv","44","4","22","For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed."
"kjv","44","4","23","And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them."
"kjv","44","4","24","And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:"
"kjv","44","4","25","Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?"
"kjv","44","4","26","The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ."
"kjv","44","4","27","For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,"
"kjv","44","4","28","For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done."
"kjv","44","4","29","And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,"
"kjv","44","4","30","By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus."
"kjv","44","4","31","And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."
"kjv","44","4","32","And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common."
"kjv","44","4","33","And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all."
"kjv","44","4","34","Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,"
"kjv","44","4","35","And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."
"kjv","44","4","36","And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,"
"kjv","44","4","37","Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet."
"kjv","44","5","1","But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,"
"kjv","44","5","2","And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it, at the apostles' feet."
"kjv","44","5","3","But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?"
"kjv","44","5","4","Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God."
"kjv","44","5","5","And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things."
"kjv","44","5","6","And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him."
"kjv","44","5","7","And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in."
"kjv","44","5","8","And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much."
"kjv","44","5","9","Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out."
"kjv","44","5","10","Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband."
"kjv","44","5","11","And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things."
"kjv","44","5","12","And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch."
"kjv","44","5","13","And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them."
"kjv","44","5","14","And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)"
"kjv","44","5","15","Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them."
"kjv","44","5","16","There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one."
"kjv","44","5","17","Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,"
"kjv","44","5","18","And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison."
"kjv","44","5","19","But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,"
"kjv","44","5","20","Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
"kjv","44","5","21","And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought."
"kjv","44","5","22","But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,"
"kjv","44","5","23","Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within."
"kjv","44","5","24","Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow."
"kjv","44","5","25","Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people."
"kjv","44","5","26","Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned."
"kjv","44","5","27","And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,"
"kjv","44","5","28","Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."
"kjv","44","5","29","Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
"kjv","44","5","30","The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree."
"kjv","44","5","31","Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."
"kjv","44","5","32","And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him."
"kjv","44","5","33","When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them."
"kjv","44","5","34","Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;"
"kjv","44","5","35","And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men."
"kjv","44","5","36","For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought."
"kjv","44","5","37","After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed."
"kjv","44","5","38","And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"
"kjv","44","5","39","But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."
"kjv","44","5","40","And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go."
"kjv","44","5","41","And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name."
"kjv","44","5","42","And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ."
"kjv","44","6","1","And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration."
"kjv","44","6","2","Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables."
"kjv","44","6","3","Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business."
"kjv","44","6","4","But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word."
"kjv","44","6","5","And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:"
"kjv","44","6","6","Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them."
"kjv","44","6","7","And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith."
"kjv","44","6","8","And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people."
"kjv","44","6","9","Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen."
"kjv","44","6","10","And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake."
"kjv","44","6","11","Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God."
"kjv","44","6","12","And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,"
"kjv","44","6","13","And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:"
"kjv","44","6","14","For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us."
"kjv","44","6","15","And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel."
"kjv","44","7","1","Then said the high priest, Are these things so?"
"kjv","44","7","2","And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,"
"kjv","44","7","3","And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee."
"kjv","44","7","4","Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell."
"kjv","44","7","5","And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child."
"kjv","44","7","6","And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years."
"kjv","44","7","7","And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place."
"kjv","44","7","8","And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs."
"kjv","44","7","9","And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,"
"kjv","44","7","10","And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house."
"kjv","44","7","11","Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance."
"kjv","44","7","12","But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first."
"kjv","44","7","13","And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh."
"kjv","44","7","14","Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls."
"kjv","44","7","15","So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,"
"kjv","44","7","16","And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem."
"kjv","44","7","17","But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,"
"kjv","44","7","18","Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph."
"kjv","44","7","19","The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live."
"kjv","44","7","20","In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:"
"kjv","44","7","21","And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son."
"kjv","44","7","22","And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds."
"kjv","44","7","23","And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
"kjv","44","7","24","And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:"
"kjv","44","7","25","For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not."
"kjv","44","7","26","And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?"
"kjv","44","7","27","But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?"
"kjv","44","7","28","Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?"
"kjv","44","7","29","Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons."
"kjv","44","7","30","And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush."
"kjv","44","7","31","When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,"
"kjv","44","7","32","Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold."
"kjv","44","7","33","Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground."
"kjv","44","7","34","I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt."
"kjv","44","7","35","This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush."
"kjv","44","7","36","He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years."
"kjv","44","7","37","This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear."
"kjv","44","7","38","This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:"
"kjv","44","7","39","To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,"
"kjv","44","7","40","Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him."
"kjv","44","7","41","And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands."
"kjv","44","7","42","Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?"
"kjv","44","7","43","Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
"kjv","44","7","44","Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen."
"kjv","44","7","45","Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;"
"kjv","44","7","46","Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob."
"kjv","44","7","47","But Solomon built him an house."
"kjv","44","7","48","Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,"
"kjv","44","7","49","Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?"
"kjv","44","7","50","Hath not my hand made all these things?"
"kjv","44","7","51","Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."
"kjv","44","7","52","Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:"
"kjv","44","7","53","Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it."
"kjv","44","7","54","When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth."
"kjv","44","7","55","But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,"
"kjv","44","7","56","And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."
"kjv","44","7","57","Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,"
"kjv","44","7","58","And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul."
"kjv","44","7","59","And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
"kjv","44","7","60","And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."
"kjv","44","8","1","And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles."
"kjv","44","8","2","And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him."
"kjv","44","8","3","As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison."
"kjv","44","8","4","Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word."
"kjv","44","8","5","Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them."
"kjv","44","8","6","And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did."
"kjv","44","8","7","For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed."
"kjv","44","8","8","And there was great joy in that city."
"kjv","44","8","9","But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:"
"kjv","44","8","10","To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God."
"kjv","44","8","11","And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries."
"kjv","44","8","12","But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women."
"kjv","44","8","13","Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done."
"kjv","44","8","14","Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:"
"kjv","44","8","15","Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:"
"kjv","44","8","16","(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)"
"kjv","44","8","17","Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","8","18","And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,"
"kjv","44","8","19","Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","8","20","But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money."
"kjv","44","8","21","Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God."
"kjv","44","8","22","Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee."
"kjv","44","8","23","For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity."
"kjv","44","8","24","Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me."
"kjv","44","8","25","And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans."
"kjv","44","8","26","And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert."
"kjv","44","8","27","And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,"
"kjv","44","8","28","Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet."
"kjv","44","8","29","Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot."
"kjv","44","8","30","And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?"
"kjv","44","8","31","And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him."
"kjv","44","8","32","The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:"
"kjv","44","8","33","In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth."
"kjv","44","8","34","And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?"
"kjv","44","8","35","Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."
"kjv","44","8","36","And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?"
"kjv","44","8","37","And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
"kjv","44","8","38","And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him."
"kjv","44","8","39","And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing."
"kjv","44","8","40","But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea."
"kjv","44","9","1","And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,"
"kjv","44","9","2","And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","9","3","And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:"
"kjv","44","9","4","And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
"kjv","44","9","5","And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."
"kjv","44","9","6","And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."
"kjv","44","9","7","And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man."
"kjv","44","9","8","And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus."
"kjv","44","9","9","And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink."
"kjv","44","9","10","And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord."
"kjv","44","9","11","And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,"
"kjv","44","9","12","And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight."
"kjv","44","9","13","Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:"
"kjv","44","9","14","And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name."
"kjv","44","9","15","But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"
"kjv","44","9","16","For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake."
"kjv","44","9","17","And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","9","18","And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized."
"kjv","44","9","19","And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus."
"kjv","44","9","20","And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God."
"kjv","44","9","21","But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?"
"kjv","44","9","22","But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ."
"kjv","44","9","23","And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:"
"kjv","44","9","24","But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him."
"kjv","44","9","25","Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket."
"kjv","44","9","26","And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple."
"kjv","44","9","27","But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus."
"kjv","44","9","28","And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","9","29","And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him."
"kjv","44","9","30","Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus."
"kjv","44","9","31","Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied."
"kjv","44","9","32","And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda."
"kjv","44","9","33","And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy."
"kjv","44","9","34","And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately."
"kjv","44","9","35","And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord."
"kjv","44","9","36","Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did."
"kjv","44","9","37","And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber."
"kjv","44","9","38","And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them."
"kjv","44","9","39","Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them."
"kjv","44","9","40","But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up."
"kjv","44","9","41","And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive."
"kjv","44","9","42","And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord."
"kjv","44","9","43","And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner."
"kjv","44","10","1","There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,"
"kjv","44","10","2","A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway."
"kjv","44","10","3","He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius."
"kjv","44","10","4","And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God."
"kjv","44","10","5","And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:"
"kjv","44","10","6","He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do."
"kjv","44","10","7","And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;"
"kjv","44","10","8","And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa."
"kjv","44","10","9","On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:"
"kjv","44","10","10","And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,"
"kjv","44","10","11","And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:"
"kjv","44","10","12","Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air."
"kjv","44","10","13","And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat."
"kjv","44","10","14","But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean."
"kjv","44","10","15","And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."
"kjv","44","10","16","This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven."
"kjv","44","10","17","Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,"
"kjv","44","10","18","And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there."
"kjv","44","10","19","While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee."
"kjv","44","10","20","Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them."
"kjv","44","10","21","Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?"
"kjv","44","10","22","And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee."
"kjv","44","10","23","Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him."
"kjv","44","10","24","And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends."
"kjv","44","10","25","And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him."
"kjv","44","10","26","But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."
"kjv","44","10","27","And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together."
"kjv","44","10","28","And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean."
"kjv","44","10","29","Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?"
"kjv","44","10","30","And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,"
"kjv","44","10","31","And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God."
"kjv","44","10","32","Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee."
"kjv","44","10","33","Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God."
"kjv","44","10","34","Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
"kjv","44","10","35","But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."
"kjv","44","10","36","The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)"
"kjv","44","10","37","That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;"
"kjv","44","10","38","How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
"kjv","44","10","39","And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:"
"kjv","44","10","40","Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;"
"kjv","44","10","41","Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead."
"kjv","44","10","42","And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead."
"kjv","44","10","43","To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
"kjv","44","10","44","While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word."
"kjv","44","10","45","And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","10","46","For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,"
"kjv","44","10","47","Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?"
"kjv","44","10","48","And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days."
"kjv","44","11","1","And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God."
"kjv","44","11","2","And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,"
"kjv","44","11","3","Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them."
"kjv","44","11","4","But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,"
"kjv","44","11","5","I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:"
"kjv","44","11","6","Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air."
"kjv","44","11","7","And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat."
"kjv","44","11","8","But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth."
"kjv","44","11","9","But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common."
"kjv","44","11","10","And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven."
"kjv","44","11","11","And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me."
"kjv","44","11","12","And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:"
"kjv","44","11","13","And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;"
"kjv","44","11","14","Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved."
"kjv","44","11","15","And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning."
"kjv","44","11","16","Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","11","17","Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?"
"kjv","44","11","18","When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life."
"kjv","44","11","19","Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only."
"kjv","44","11","20","And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","44","11","21","And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord."
"kjv","44","11","22","Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch."
"kjv","44","11","23","Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord."
"kjv","44","11","24","For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord."
"kjv","44","11","25","Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:"
"kjv","44","11","26","And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
"kjv","44","11","27","And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch."
"kjv","44","11","28","And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar."
"kjv","44","11","29","Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:"
"kjv","44","11","30","Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul."
"kjv","44","12","1","Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church."
"kjv","44","12","2","And he killed James the brother of John with the sword."
"kjv","44","12","3","And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)"
"kjv","44","12","4","And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people."
"kjv","44","12","5","Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him."
"kjv","44","12","6","And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison."
"kjv","44","12","7","And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands."
"kjv","44","12","8","And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me."
"kjv","44","12","9","And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision."
"kjv","44","12","10","When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him."
"kjv","44","12","11","And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews."
"kjv","44","12","12","And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying."
"kjv","44","12","13","And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda."
"kjv","44","12","14","And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate."
"kjv","44","12","15","And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel."
"kjv","44","12","16","But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished."
"kjv","44","12","17","But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place."
"kjv","44","12","18","Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter."
"kjv","44","12","19","And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode."
"kjv","44","12","20","And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country."
"kjv","44","12","21","And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them."
"kjv","44","12","22","And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man."
"kjv","44","12","23","And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."
"kjv","44","12","24","But the word of God grew and multiplied."
"kjv","44","12","25","And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark."
"kjv","44","13","1","Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul."
"kjv","44","13","2","As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."
"kjv","44","13","3","And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away."
"kjv","44","13","4","So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus."
"kjv","44","13","5","And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister."
"kjv","44","13","6","And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:"
"kjv","44","13","7","Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God."
"kjv","44","13","8","But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith."
"kjv","44","13","9","Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,"
"kjv","44","13","10","And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?"
"kjv","44","13","11","And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."
"kjv","44","13","12","Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord."
"kjv","44","13","13","Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","13","14","But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down."
"kjv","44","13","15","And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."
"kjv","44","13","16","Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience."
"kjv","44","13","17","The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it."
"kjv","44","13","18","And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness."
"kjv","44","13","19","And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot."
"kjv","44","13","20","And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet."
"kjv","44","13","21","And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years."
"kjv","44","13","22","And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will."
"kjv","44","13","23","Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:"
"kjv","44","13","24","When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel."
"kjv","44","13","25","And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose."
"kjv","44","13","26","Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent."
"kjv","44","13","27","For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him."
"kjv","44","13","28","And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain."
"kjv","44","13","29","And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre."
"kjv","44","13","30","But God raised him from the dead:"
"kjv","44","13","31","And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people."
"kjv","44","13","32","And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,"
"kjv","44","13","33","God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
"kjv","44","13","34","And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David."
"kjv","44","13","35","Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."
"kjv","44","13","36","For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:"
"kjv","44","13","37","But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption."
"kjv","44","13","38","Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:"
"kjv","44","13","39","And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
"kjv","44","13","40","Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;"
"kjv","44","13","41","Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you."
"kjv","44","13","42","And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath."
"kjv","44","13","43","Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God."
"kjv","44","13","44","And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God."
"kjv","44","13","45","But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming."
"kjv","44","13","46","Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles."
"kjv","44","13","47","For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth."
"kjv","44","13","48","And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."
"kjv","44","13","49","And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region."
"kjv","44","13","50","But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts."
"kjv","44","13","51","But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium."
"kjv","44","13","52","And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","14","1","And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed."
"kjv","44","14","2","But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren."
"kjv","44","14","3","Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands."
"kjv","44","14","4","But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles."
"kjv","44","14","5","And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,"
"kjv","44","14","6","They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:"
"kjv","44","14","7","And there they preached the gospel."
"kjv","44","14","8","And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:"
"kjv","44","14","9","The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,"
"kjv","44","14","10","Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked."
"kjv","44","14","11","And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men."
"kjv","44","14","12","And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker."
"kjv","44","14","13","Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people."
"kjv","44","14","14","Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,"
"kjv","44","14","15","And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:"
"kjv","44","14","16","Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways."
"kjv","44","14","17","Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."
"kjv","44","14","18","And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them."
"kjv","44","14","19","And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead."
"kjv","44","14","20","Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe."
"kjv","44","14","21","And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,"
"kjv","44","14","22","Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."
"kjv","44","14","23","And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed."
"kjv","44","14","24","And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia."
"kjv","44","14","25","And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:"
"kjv","44","14","26","And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled."
"kjv","44","14","27","And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles."
"kjv","44","14","28","And there they abode long time with the disciples."
"kjv","44","15","1","And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved."
"kjv","44","15","2","When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question."
"kjv","44","15","3","And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren."
"kjv","44","15","4","And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them."
"kjv","44","15","5","But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses."
"kjv","44","15","6","And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter."
"kjv","44","15","7","And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe."
"kjv","44","15","8","And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;"
"kjv","44","15","9","And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith."
"kjv","44","15","10","Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?"
"kjv","44","15","11","But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they."
"kjv","44","15","12","Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them."
"kjv","44","15","13","And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:"
"kjv","44","15","14","Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name."
"kjv","44","15","15","And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,"
"kjv","44","15","16","After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:"
"kjv","44","15","17","That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things."
"kjv","44","15","18","Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world."
"kjv","44","15","19","Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:"
"kjv","44","15","20","But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood."
"kjv","44","15","21","For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day."
"kjv","44","15","22","Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:"
"kjv","44","15","23","And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:"
"kjv","44","15","24","Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:"
"kjv","44","15","25","It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,"
"kjv","44","15","26","Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","44","15","27","We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth."
"kjv","44","15","28","For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;"
"kjv","44","15","29","That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
"kjv","44","15","30","So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:"
"kjv","44","15","31","Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation."
"kjv","44","15","32","And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them."
"kjv","44","15","33","And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles."
"kjv","44","15","34","Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still."
"kjv","44","15","35","Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also."
"kjv","44","15","36","And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do."
"kjv","44","15","37","And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark."
"kjv","44","15","38","But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work."
"kjv","44","15","39","And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;"
"kjv","44","15","40","And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God."
"kjv","44","15","41","And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches."
"kjv","44","16","1","Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:"
"kjv","44","16","2","Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium."
"kjv","44","16","3","Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek."
"kjv","44","16","4","And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","16","5","And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily."
"kjv","44","16","6","Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,"
"kjv","44","16","7","After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not."
"kjv","44","16","8","And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas."
"kjv","44","16","9","And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us."
"kjv","44","16","10","And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them."
"kjv","44","16","11","Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;"
"kjv","44","16","12","And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days."
"kjv","44","16","13","And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither."
"kjv","44","16","14","And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul."
"kjv","44","16","15","And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us."
"kjv","44","16","16","And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:"
"kjv","44","16","17","The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation."
"kjv","44","16","18","And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour."
"kjv","44","16","19","And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,"
"kjv","44","16","20","And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,"
"kjv","44","16","21","And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans."
"kjv","44","16","22","And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them."
"kjv","44","16","23","And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:"
"kjv","44","16","24","Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks."
"kjv","44","16","25","And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them."
"kjv","44","16","26","And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed."
"kjv","44","16","27","And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled."
"kjv","44","16","28","But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here."
"kjv","44","16","29","Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,"
"kjv","44","16","30","And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
"kjv","44","16","31","And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
"kjv","44","16","32","And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house."
"kjv","44","16","33","And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway."
"kjv","44","16","34","And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house."
"kjv","44","16","35","And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go."
"kjv","44","16","36","And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace."
"kjv","44","16","37","But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out."
"kjv","44","16","38","And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans."
"kjv","44","16","39","And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city."
"kjv","44","16","40","And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed."
"kjv","44","17","1","Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:"
"kjv","44","17","2","And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,"
"kjv","44","17","3","Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ."
"kjv","44","17","4","And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few."
"kjv","44","17","5","But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people."
"kjv","44","17","6","And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;"
"kjv","44","17","7","Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus."
"kjv","44","17","8","And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things."
"kjv","44","17","9","And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go."
"kjv","44","17","10","And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews."
"kjv","44","17","11","These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."
"kjv","44","17","12","Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few."
"kjv","44","17","13","But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people."
"kjv","44","17","14","And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still."
"kjv","44","17","15","And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed."
"kjv","44","17","16","Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry."
"kjv","44","17","17","Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him."
"kjv","44","17","18","Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection."
"kjv","44","17","19","And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?"
"kjv","44","17","20","For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean."
"kjv","44","17","21","(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)"
"kjv","44","17","22","Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious."
"kjv","44","17","23","For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you."
"kjv","44","17","24","God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;"
"kjv","44","17","25","Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;"
"kjv","44","17","26","And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;"
"kjv","44","17","27","That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:"
"kjv","44","17","28","For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."
"kjv","44","17","29","Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."
"kjv","44","17","30","And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:"
"kjv","44","17","31","Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."
"kjv","44","17","32","And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter."
"kjv","44","17","33","So Paul departed from among them."
"kjv","44","17","34","Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them."
"kjv","44","18","1","After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;"
"kjv","44","18","2","And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them."
"kjv","44","18","3","And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers."
"kjv","44","18","4","And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks."
"kjv","44","18","5","And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ."
"kjv","44","18","6","And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles."
"kjv","44","18","7","And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue."
"kjv","44","18","8","And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized."
"kjv","44","18","9","Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:"
"kjv","44","18","10","For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city."
"kjv","44","18","11","And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them."
"kjv","44","18","12","And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,"
"kjv","44","18","13","Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law."
"kjv","44","18","14","And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:"
"kjv","44","18","15","But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters."
"kjv","44","18","16","And he drave them from the judgment seat."
"kjv","44","18","17","Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things."
"kjv","44","18","18","And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow."
"kjv","44","18","19","And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews."
"kjv","44","18","20","When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;"
"kjv","44","18","21","But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus."
"kjv","44","18","22","And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch."
"kjv","44","18","23","And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples."
"kjv","44","18","24","And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus."
"kjv","44","18","25","This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John."
"kjv","44","18","26","And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly."
"kjv","44","18","27","And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:"
"kjv","44","18","28","For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ."
"kjv","44","19","1","And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,"
"kjv","44","19","2","He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost."
"kjv","44","19","3","And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism."
"kjv","44","19","4","Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."
"kjv","44","19","5","When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","44","19","6","And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."
"kjv","44","19","7","And all the men were about twelve."
"kjv","44","19","8","And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God."
"kjv","44","19","9","But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus."
"kjv","44","19","10","And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks."
"kjv","44","19","11","And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:"
"kjv","44","19","12","So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them."
"kjv","44","19","13","Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth."
"kjv","44","19","14","And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so."
"kjv","44","19","15","And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?"
"kjv","44","19","16","And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded."
"kjv","44","19","17","And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified."
"kjv","44","19","18","And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds."
"kjv","44","19","19","Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver."
"kjv","44","19","20","So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."
"kjv","44","19","21","After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
"kjv","44","19","22","So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season."
"kjv","44","19","23","And the same time there arose no small stir about that way."
"kjv","44","19","24","For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;"
"kjv","44","19","25","Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth."
"kjv","44","19","26","Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:"
"kjv","44","19","27","So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth."
"kjv","44","19","28","And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians."
"kjv","44","19","29","And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre."
"kjv","44","19","30","And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not."
"kjv","44","19","31","And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre."
"kjv","44","19","32","Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together."
"kjv","44","19","33","And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people."
"kjv","44","19","34","But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians."
"kjv","44","19","35","And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?"
"kjv","44","19","36","Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly."
"kjv","44","19","37","For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess."
"kjv","44","19","38","Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another."
"kjv","44","19","39","But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly."
"kjv","44","19","40","For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse."
"kjv","44","19","41","And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly."
"kjv","44","20","1","And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia."
"kjv","44","20","2","And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,"
"kjv","44","20","3","And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia."
"kjv","44","20","4","And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus."
"kjv","44","20","5","These going before tarried for us at Troas."
"kjv","44","20","6","And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days."
"kjv","44","20","7","And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight."
"kjv","44","20","8","And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together."
"kjv","44","20","9","And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead."
"kjv","44","20","10","And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him."
"kjv","44","20","11","When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed."
"kjv","44","20","12","And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted."
"kjv","44","20","13","And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot."
"kjv","44","20","14","And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene."
"kjv","44","20","15","And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus."
"kjv","44","20","16","For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost."
"kjv","44","20","17","And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church."
"kjv","44","20","18","And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,"
"kjv","44","20","19","Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:"
"kjv","44","20","20","And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,"
"kjv","44","20","21","Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","44","20","22","And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:"
"kjv","44","20","23","Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me."
"kjv","44","20","24","But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God."
"kjv","44","20","25","And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more."
"kjv","44","20","26","Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men."
"kjv","44","20","27","For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."
"kjv","44","20","28","Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."
"kjv","44","20","29","For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock."
"kjv","44","20","30","Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them."
"kjv","44","20","31","Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears."
"kjv","44","20","32","And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
"kjv","44","20","33","I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel."
"kjv","44","20","34","Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me."
"kjv","44","20","35","I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."
"kjv","44","20","36","And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all."
"kjv","44","20","37","And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,"
"kjv","44","20","38","Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship."
"kjv","44","21","1","And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:"
"kjv","44","21","2","And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth."
"kjv","44","21","3","Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden."
"kjv","44","21","4","And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","21","5","And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed."
"kjv","44","21","6","And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again."
"kjv","44","21","7","And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day."
"kjv","44","21","8","And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him."
"kjv","44","21","9","And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy."
"kjv","44","21","10","And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus."
"kjv","44","21","11","And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."
"kjv","44","21","12","And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","21","13","Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","44","21","14","And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done."
"kjv","44","21","15","And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","21","16","There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge."
"kjv","44","21","17","And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly."
"kjv","44","21","18","And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present."
"kjv","44","21","19","And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry."
"kjv","44","21","20","And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:"
"kjv","44","21","21","And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs."
"kjv","44","21","22","What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come."
"kjv","44","21","23","Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;"
"kjv","44","21","24","Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law."
"kjv","44","21","25","As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."
"kjv","44","21","26","Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them."
"kjv","44","21","27","And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,"
"kjv","44","21","28","Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place."
"kjv","44","21","29","(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)"
"kjv","44","21","30","And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut."
"kjv","44","21","31","And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar."
"kjv","44","21","32","Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul."
"kjv","44","21","33","Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done."
"kjv","44","21","34","And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle."
"kjv","44","21","35","And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people."
"kjv","44","21","36","For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him."
"kjv","44","21","37","And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?"
"kjv","44","21","38","Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?"
"kjv","44","21","39","But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people."
"kjv","44","21","40","And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,"
"kjv","44","22","1","Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you."
"kjv","44","22","2","(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)"
"kjv","44","22","3","I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day."
"kjv","44","22","4","And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women."
"kjv","44","22","5","As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished."
"kjv","44","22","6","And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me."
"kjv","44","22","7","And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
"kjv","44","22","8","And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest."
"kjv","44","22","9","And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."
"kjv","44","22","10","And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do."
"kjv","44","22","11","And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus."
"kjv","44","22","12","And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,"
"kjv","44","22","13","Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him."
"kjv","44","22","14","And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth."
"kjv","44","22","15","For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard."
"kjv","44","22","16","And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord."
"kjv","44","22","17","And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;"
"kjv","44","22","18","And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me."
"kjv","44","22","19","And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:"
"kjv","44","22","20","And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him."
"kjv","44","22","21","And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles."
"kjv","44","22","22","And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live."
"kjv","44","22","23","And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,"
"kjv","44","22","24","The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him."
"kjv","44","22","25","And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?"
"kjv","44","22","26","When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman."
"kjv","44","22","27","Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea."
"kjv","44","22","28","And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born."
"kjv","44","22","29","Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him."
"kjv","44","22","30","On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them."
"kjv","44","23","1","And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day."
"kjv","44","23","2","And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth."
"kjv","44","23","3","Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?"
"kjv","44","23","4","And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?"
"kjv","44","23","5","Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people."
"kjv","44","23","6","But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question."
"kjv","44","23","7","And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided."
"kjv","44","23","8","For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both."
"kjv","44","23","9","And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God."
"kjv","44","23","10","And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle."
"kjv","44","23","11","And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome."
"kjv","44","23","12","And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul."
"kjv","44","23","13","And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy."
"kjv","44","23","14","And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul."
"kjv","44","23","15","Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him."
"kjv","44","23","16","And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul."
"kjv","44","23","17","Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him."
"kjv","44","23","18","So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee."
"kjv","44","23","19","Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?"
"kjv","44","23","20","And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly."
"kjv","44","23","21","But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee."
"kjv","44","23","22","So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me."
"kjv","44","23","23","And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;"
"kjv","44","23","24","And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor."
"kjv","44","23","25","And he wrote a letter after this manner:"
"kjv","44","23","26","Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting."
"kjv","44","23","27","This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman."
"kjv","44","23","28","And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:"
"kjv","44","23","29","Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds."
"kjv","44","23","30","And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell."
"kjv","44","23","31","Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris."
"kjv","44","23","32","On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:"
"kjv","44","23","33","Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him."
"kjv","44","23","34","And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;"
"kjv","44","23","35","I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall."
"kjv","44","24","1","And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul."
"kjv","44","24","2","And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,"
"kjv","44","24","3","We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness."
"kjv","44","24","4","Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words."
"kjv","44","24","5","For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:"
"kjv","44","24","6","Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law."
"kjv","44","24","7","But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,"
"kjv","44","24","8","Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him."
"kjv","44","24","9","And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so."
"kjv","44","24","10","Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:"
"kjv","44","24","11","Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship."
"kjv","44","24","12","And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:"
"kjv","44","24","13","Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me."
"kjv","44","24","14","But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:"
"kjv","44","24","15","And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust."
"kjv","44","24","16","And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men."
"kjv","44","24","17","Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings."
"kjv","44","24","18","Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult."
"kjv","44","24","19","Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me."
"kjv","44","24","20","Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,"
"kjv","44","24","21","Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day."
"kjv","44","24","22","And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter."
"kjv","44","24","23","And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him."
"kjv","44","24","24","And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ."
"kjv","44","24","25","And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee."
"kjv","44","24","26","He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him."
"kjv","44","24","27","But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound."
"kjv","44","25","1","Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem."
"kjv","44","25","2","Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,"
"kjv","44","25","3","And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him."
"kjv","44","25","4","But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither."
"kjv","44","25","5","Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him."
"kjv","44","25","6","And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought."
"kjv","44","25","7","And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove."
"kjv","44","25","8","While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all."
"kjv","44","25","9","But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?"
"kjv","44","25","10","Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest."
"kjv","44","25","11","For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar."
"kjv","44","25","12","Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go."
"kjv","44","25","13","And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus."
"kjv","44","25","14","And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:"
"kjv","44","25","15","About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him."
"kjv","44","25","16","To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him."
"kjv","44","25","17","Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth."
"kjv","44","25","18","Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:"
"kjv","44","25","19","But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive."
"kjv","44","25","20","And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters."
"kjv","44","25","21","But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar."
"kjv","44","25","22","Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him."
"kjv","44","25","23","And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth."
"kjv","44","25","24","And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer."
"kjv","44","25","25","But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him."
"kjv","44","25","26","Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write."
"kjv","44","25","27","For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him."
"kjv","44","26","1","Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:"
"kjv","44","26","2","I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:"
"kjv","44","26","3","Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently."
"kjv","44","26","4","My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;"
"kjv","44","26","5","Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee."
"kjv","44","26","6","And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:"
"kjv","44","26","7","Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews."
"kjv","44","26","8","Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?"
"kjv","44","26","9","I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth."
"kjv","44","26","10","Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them."
"kjv","44","26","11","And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities."
"kjv","44","26","12","Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,"
"kjv","44","26","13","At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me."
"kjv","44","26","14","And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."
"kjv","44","26","15","And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest."
"kjv","44","26","16","But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;"
"kjv","44","26","17","Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,"
"kjv","44","26","18","To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me."
"kjv","44","26","19","Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:"
"kjv","44","26","20","But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance."
"kjv","44","26","21","For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me."
"kjv","44","26","22","Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:"
"kjv","44","26","23","That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles."
"kjv","44","26","24","And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad."
"kjv","44","26","25","But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness."
"kjv","44","26","26","For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner."
"kjv","44","26","27","King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest."
"kjv","44","26","28","Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."
"kjv","44","26","29","And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds."
"kjv","44","26","30","And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:"
"kjv","44","26","31","And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds."
"kjv","44","26","32","Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar."
"kjv","44","27","1","And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band."
"kjv","44","27","2","And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us."
"kjv","44","27","3","And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself."
"kjv","44","27","4","And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary."
"kjv","44","27","5","And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia."
"kjv","44","27","6","And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein."
"kjv","44","27","7","And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;"
"kjv","44","27","8","And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea."
"kjv","44","27","9","Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,"
"kjv","44","27","10","And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives."
"kjv","44","27","11","Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul."
"kjv","44","27","12","And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west."
"kjv","44","27","13","And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete."
"kjv","44","27","14","But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon."
"kjv","44","27","15","And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive."
"kjv","44","27","16","And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:"
"kjv","44","27","17","Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven."
"kjv","44","27","18","And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;"
"kjv","44","27","19","And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship."
"kjv","44","27","20","And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away."
"kjv","44","27","21","But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss."
"kjv","44","27","22","And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship."
"kjv","44","27","23","For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,"
"kjv","44","27","24","Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee."
"kjv","44","27","25","Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me."
"kjv","44","27","26","Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island."
"kjv","44","27","27","But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;"
"kjv","44","27","28","And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms."
"kjv","44","27","29","Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day."
"kjv","44","27","30","And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,"
"kjv","44","27","31","Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved."
"kjv","44","27","32","Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off."
"kjv","44","27","33","And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing."
"kjv","44","27","34","Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you."
"kjv","44","27","35","And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat."
"kjv","44","27","36","Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat."
"kjv","44","27","37","And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls."
"kjv","44","27","38","And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea."
"kjv","44","27","39","And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship."
"kjv","44","27","40","And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore."
"kjv","44","27","41","And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves."
"kjv","44","27","42","And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape."
"kjv","44","27","43","But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:"
"kjv","44","27","44","And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land."
"kjv","44","28","1","And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita."
"kjv","44","28","2","And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold."
"kjv","44","28","3","And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand."
"kjv","44","28","4","And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live."
"kjv","44","28","5","And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm."
"kjv","44","28","6","Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god."
"kjv","44","28","7","In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously."
"kjv","44","28","8","And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him."
"kjv","44","28","9","So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:"
"kjv","44","28","10","Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary."
"kjv","44","28","11","And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux."
"kjv","44","28","12","And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days."
"kjv","44","28","13","And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:"
"kjv","44","28","14","Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome."
"kjv","44","28","15","And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage."
"kjv","44","28","16","And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him."
"kjv","44","28","17","And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans."
"kjv","44","28","18","Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me."
"kjv","44","28","19","But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of."
"kjv","44","28","20","For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
"kjv","44","28","21","And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee."
"kjv","44","28","22","But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against."
"kjv","44","28","23","And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening."
"kjv","44","28","24","And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not."
"kjv","44","28","25","And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,"
"kjv","44","28","26","Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:"
"kjv","44","28","27","For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
"kjv","44","28","28","Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it."
"kjv","44","28","29","And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves."
"kjv","44","28","30","And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,"
"kjv","44","28","31","Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him."
"kjv","45","1","1","Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,"
"kjv","45","1","2","(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)"
"kjv","45","1","3","Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;"
"kjv","45","1","4","And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:"
"kjv","45","1","5","By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:"
"kjv","45","1","6","Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","45","1","7","To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","45","1","8","First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world."
"kjv","45","1","9","For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;"
"kjv","45","1","10","Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you."
"kjv","45","1","11","For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;"
"kjv","45","1","12","That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me."
"kjv","45","1","13","Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles."
"kjv","45","1","14","I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise."
"kjv","45","1","15","So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also."
"kjv","45","1","16","For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
"kjv","45","1","17","For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
"kjv","45","1","18","For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"
"kjv","45","1","19","Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them."
"kjv","45","1","20","For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
"kjv","45","1","21","Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."
"kjv","45","1","22","Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,"
"kjv","45","1","23","And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things."
"kjv","45","1","24","Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:"
"kjv","45","1","25","Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
"kjv","45","1","26","For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:"
"kjv","45","1","27","And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet."
"kjv","45","1","28","And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"
"kjv","45","1","29","Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,"
"kjv","45","1","30","Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,"
"kjv","45","1","31","Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:"
"kjv","45","1","32","Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
"kjv","45","2","1","Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things."
"kjv","45","2","2","But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things."
"kjv","45","2","3","And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?"
"kjv","45","2","4","Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"
"kjv","45","2","5","But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;"
"kjv","45","2","6","Who will render to every man according to his deeds:"
"kjv","45","2","7","To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:"
"kjv","45","2","8","But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,"
"kjv","45","2","9","Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;"
"kjv","45","2","10","But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:"
"kjv","45","2","11","For there is no respect of persons with God."
"kjv","45","2","12","For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;"
"kjv","45","2","13","(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."
"kjv","45","2","14","For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:"
"kjv","45","2","15","Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)"
"kjv","45","2","16","In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."
"kjv","45","2","17","Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,"
"kjv","45","2","18","And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;"
"kjv","45","2","19","And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,"
"kjv","45","2","20","An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law."
"kjv","45","2","21","Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?"
"kjv","45","2","22","Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?"
"kjv","45","2","23","Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?"
"kjv","45","2","24","For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written."
"kjv","45","2","25","For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision."
"kjv","45","2","26","Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?"
"kjv","45","2","27","And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?"
"kjv","45","2","28","For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:"
"kjv","45","2","29","But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
"kjv","45","3","1","What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?"
"kjv","45","3","2","Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God."
"kjv","45","3","3","For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?"
"kjv","45","3","4","God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."
"kjv","45","3","5","But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)"
"kjv","45","3","6","God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?"
"kjv","45","3","7","For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?"
"kjv","45","3","8","And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just."
"kjv","45","3","9","What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;"
"kjv","45","3","10","As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"
"kjv","45","3","11","There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God."
"kjv","45","3","12","They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one."
"kjv","45","3","13","Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:"
"kjv","45","3","14","Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:"
"kjv","45","3","15","Their feet are swift to shed blood:"
"kjv","45","3","16","Destruction and misery are in their ways:"
"kjv","45","3","17","And the way of peace have they not known:"
"kjv","45","3","18","There is no fear of God before their eyes."
"kjv","45","3","19","Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God."
"kjv","45","3","20","Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
"kjv","45","3","21","But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;"
"kjv","45","3","22","Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:"
"kjv","45","3","23","For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
"kjv","45","3","24","Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","45","3","25","Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
"kjv","45","3","26","To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
"kjv","45","3","27","Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith."
"kjv","45","3","28","Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."
"kjv","45","3","29","Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:"
"kjv","45","3","30","Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith."
"kjv","45","3","31","Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
"kjv","45","4","1","What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?"
"kjv","45","4","2","For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God."
"kjv","45","4","3","For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."
"kjv","45","4","4","Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt."
"kjv","45","4","5","But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
"kjv","45","4","6","Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,"
"kjv","45","4","7","Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered."
"kjv","45","4","8","Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin."
"kjv","45","4","9","Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness."
"kjv","45","4","10","How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision."
"kjv","45","4","11","And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:"
"kjv","45","4","12","And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised."
"kjv","45","4","13","For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith."
"kjv","45","4","14","For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:"
"kjv","45","4","15","Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression."
"kjv","45","4","16","Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,"
"kjv","45","4","17","(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."
"kjv","45","4","18","Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be."
"kjv","45","4","19","And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:"
"kjv","45","4","20","He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;"
"kjv","45","4","21","And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform."
"kjv","45","4","22","And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness."
"kjv","45","4","23","Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;"
"kjv","45","4","24","But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;"
"kjv","45","4","25","Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification."
"kjv","45","5","1","Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","45","5","2","By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
"kjv","45","5","3","And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;"
"kjv","45","5","4","And patience, experience; and experience, hope:"
"kjv","45","5","5","And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
"kjv","45","5","6","For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."
"kjv","45","5","7","For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die."
"kjv","45","5","8","But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
"kjv","45","5","9","Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
"kjv","45","5","10","For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
"kjv","45","5","11","And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement."
"kjv","45","5","12","Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
"kjv","45","5","13","(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law."
"kjv","45","5","14","Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come."
"kjv","45","5","15","But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many."
"kjv","45","5","16","And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification."
"kjv","45","5","17","For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)"
"kjv","45","5","18","Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life."
"kjv","45","5","19","For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
"kjv","45","5","20","Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:"
"kjv","45","5","21","That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
"kjv","45","6","1","What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"
"kjv","45","6","2","God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"
"kjv","45","6","3","Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?"
"kjv","45","6","4","Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
"kjv","45","6","5","For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"
"kjv","45","6","6","Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin."
"kjv","45","6","7","For he that is dead is freed from sin."
"kjv","45","6","8","Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:"
"kjv","45","6","9","Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him."
"kjv","45","6","10","For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God."
"kjv","45","6","11","Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord."
"kjv","45","6","12","Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof."
"kjv","45","6","13","Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."
"kjv","45","6","14","For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."
"kjv","45","6","15","What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid."
"kjv","45","6","16","Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
"kjv","45","6","17","But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you."
"kjv","45","6","18","Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness."
"kjv","45","6","19","I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness."
"kjv","45","6","20","For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness."
"kjv","45","6","21","What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death."
"kjv","45","6","22","But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life."
"kjv","45","6","23","For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
"kjv","45","7","1","Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?"
"kjv","45","7","2","For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband."
"kjv","45","7","3","So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man."
"kjv","45","7","4","Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God."
"kjv","45","7","5","For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death."
"kjv","45","7","6","But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter."
"kjv","45","7","7","What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet."
"kjv","45","7","8","But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead."
"kjv","45","7","9","For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died."
"kjv","45","7","10","And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death."
"kjv","45","7","11","For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me."
"kjv","45","7","12","Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good."
"kjv","45","7","13","Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful."
"kjv","45","7","14","For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin."
"kjv","45","7","15","For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I."
"kjv","45","7","16","If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good."
"kjv","45","7","17","Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me."
"kjv","45","7","18","For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not."
"kjv","45","7","19","For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do."
"kjv","45","7","20","Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me."
"kjv","45","7","21","I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me."
"kjv","45","7","22","For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:"
"kjv","45","7","23","But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members."
"kjv","45","7","24","O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
"kjv","45","7","25","I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."
"kjv","45","8","1","There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
"kjv","45","8","2","For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
"kjv","45","8","3","For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"
"kjv","45","8","4","That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
"kjv","45","8","5","For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."
"kjv","45","8","6","For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."
"kjv","45","8","7","Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be."
"kjv","45","8","8","So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God."
"kjv","45","8","9","But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
"kjv","45","8","10","And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
"kjv","45","8","11","But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
"kjv","45","8","12","Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh."
"kjv","45","8","13","For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live."
"kjv","45","8","14","For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
"kjv","45","8","15","For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
"kjv","45","8","16","The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"
"kjv","45","8","17","And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."
"kjv","45","8","18","For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."
"kjv","45","8","19","For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God."
"kjv","45","8","20","For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,"
"kjv","45","8","21","Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
"kjv","45","8","22","For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."
"kjv","45","8","23","And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
"kjv","45","8","24","For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?"
"kjv","45","8","25","But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it."
"kjv","45","8","26","Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
"kjv","45","8","27","And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God."
"kjv","45","8","28","And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
"kjv","45","8","29","For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."
"kjv","45","8","30","Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
"kjv","45","8","31","What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"
"kjv","45","8","32","He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
"kjv","45","8","33","Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth."
"kjv","45","8","34","Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."
"kjv","45","8","35","Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"
"kjv","45","8","36","As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
"kjv","45","8","37","Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
"kjv","45","8","38","For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,"
"kjv","45","8","39","Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
"kjv","45","9","1","I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,"
"kjv","45","9","2","That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart."
"kjv","45","9","3","For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:"
"kjv","45","9","4","Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;"
"kjv","45","9","5","Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen."
"kjv","45","9","6","Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:"
"kjv","45","9","7","Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called."
"kjv","45","9","8","That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."
"kjv","45","9","9","For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son."
"kjv","45","9","10","And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;"
"kjv","45","9","11","(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)"
"kjv","45","9","12","It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger."
"kjv","45","9","13","As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
"kjv","45","9","14","What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid."
"kjv","45","9","15","For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
"kjv","45","9","16","So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy."
"kjv","45","9","17","For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth."
"kjv","45","9","18","Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth."
"kjv","45","9","19","Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?"
"kjv","45","9","20","Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?"
"kjv","45","9","21","Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?"
"kjv","45","9","22","What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:"
"kjv","45","9","23","And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,"
"kjv","45","9","24","Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?"
"kjv","45","9","25","As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved."
"kjv","45","9","26","And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God."
"kjv","45","9","27","Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:"
"kjv","45","9","28","For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth."
"kjv","45","9","29","And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha."
"kjv","45","9","30","What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith."
"kjv","45","9","31","But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness."
"kjv","45","9","32","Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;"
"kjv","45","9","33","As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
"kjv","45","10","1","Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved."
"kjv","45","10","2","For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge."
"kjv","45","10","3","For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."
"kjv","45","10","4","For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
"kjv","45","10","5","For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them."
"kjv","45","10","6","But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)"
"kjv","45","10","7","Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)"
"kjv","45","10","8","But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;"
"kjv","45","10","9","That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
"kjv","45","10","10","For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
"kjv","45","10","11","For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
"kjv","45","10","12","For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him."
"kjv","45","10","13","For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"kjv","45","10","14","How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
"kjv","45","10","15","And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
"kjv","45","10","16","But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?"
"kjv","45","10","17","So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
"kjv","45","10","18","But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."
"kjv","45","10","19","But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you."
"kjv","45","10","20","But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me."
"kjv","45","10","21","But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people."
"kjv","45","11","1","I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."
"kjv","45","11","2","God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,"
"kjv","45","11","3","Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
"kjv","45","11","4","But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal."
"kjv","45","11","5","Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."
"kjv","45","11","6","And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work."
"kjv","45","11","7","What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded"
"kjv","45","11","8","(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day."
"kjv","45","11","9","And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:"
"kjv","45","11","10","Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back alway."
"kjv","45","11","11","I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy."
"kjv","45","11","12","Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?"
"kjv","45","11","13","For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:"
"kjv","45","11","14","If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them."
"kjv","45","11","15","For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?"
"kjv","45","11","16","For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches."
"kjv","45","11","17","And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;"
"kjv","45","11","18","Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee."
"kjv","45","11","19","Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
"kjv","45","11","20","Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:"
"kjv","45","11","21","For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee."
"kjv","45","11","22","Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off."
"kjv","45","11","23","And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again."
"kjv","45","11","24","For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?"
"kjv","45","11","25","For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in."
"kjv","45","11","26","And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:"
"kjv","45","11","27","For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins."
"kjv","45","11","28","As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes."
"kjv","45","11","29","For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance."
"kjv","45","11","30","For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:"
"kjv","45","11","31","Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy."
"kjv","45","11","32","For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all."
"kjv","45","11","33","O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!"
"kjv","45","11","34","For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?"
"kjv","45","11","35","Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?"
"kjv","45","11","36","For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen."
"kjv","45","12","1","I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
"kjv","45","12","2","And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
"kjv","45","12","3","For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."
"kjv","45","12","4","For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:"
"kjv","45","12","5","So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another."
"kjv","45","12","6","Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;"
"kjv","45","12","7","Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;"
"kjv","45","12","8","Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness."
"kjv","45","12","9","Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."
"kjv","45","12","10","Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;"
"kjv","45","12","11","Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;"
"kjv","45","12","12","Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;"
"kjv","45","12","13","Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality."
"kjv","45","12","14","Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not."
"kjv","45","12","15","Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep."
"kjv","45","12","16","Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits."
"kjv","45","12","17","Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men."
"kjv","45","12","18","If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."
"kjv","45","12","19","Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
"kjv","45","12","20","Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head."
"kjv","45","12","21","Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
"kjv","45","13","1","Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."
"kjv","45","13","2","Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation."
"kjv","45","13","3","For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:"
"kjv","45","13","4","For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil."
"kjv","45","13","5","Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake."
"kjv","45","13","6","For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing."
"kjv","45","13","7","Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."
"kjv","45","13","8","Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law."
"kjv","45","13","9","For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
"kjv","45","13","10","Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."
"kjv","45","13","11","And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."
"kjv","45","13","12","The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."
"kjv","45","13","13","Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying."
"kjv","45","13","14","But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
"kjv","45","14","1","Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations."
"kjv","45","14","2","For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs."
"kjv","45","14","3","Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him."
"kjv","45","14","4","Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."
"kjv","45","14","5","One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."
"kjv","45","14","6","He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks."
"kjv","45","14","7","For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself."
"kjv","45","14","8","For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's."
"kjv","45","14","9","For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living."
"kjv","45","14","10","But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ."
"kjv","45","14","11","For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
"kjv","45","14","12","So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."
"kjv","45","14","13","Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way."
"kjv","45","14","14","I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean."
"kjv","45","14","15","But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died."
"kjv","45","14","16","Let not then your good be evil spoken of:"
"kjv","45","14","17","For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","45","14","18","For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men."
"kjv","45","14","19","Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."
"kjv","45","14","20","For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence."
"kjv","45","14","21","It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak."
"kjv","45","14","22","Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth."
"kjv","45","14","23","And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
"kjv","45","15","1","We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves."
"kjv","45","15","2","Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification."
"kjv","45","15","3","For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me."
"kjv","45","15","4","For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
"kjv","45","15","5","Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","45","15","6","That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","45","15","7","Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God."
"kjv","45","15","8","Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:"
"kjv","45","15","9","And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name."
"kjv","45","15","10","And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people."
"kjv","45","15","11","And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people."
"kjv","45","15","12","And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust."
"kjv","45","15","13","Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","45","15","14","And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another."
"kjv","45","15","15","Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,"
"kjv","45","15","16","That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","45","15","17","I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God."
"kjv","45","15","18","For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,"
"kjv","45","15","19","Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ."
"kjv","45","15","20","Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:"
"kjv","45","15","21","But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand."
"kjv","45","15","22","For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you."
"kjv","45","15","23","But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;"
"kjv","45","15","24","Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company."
"kjv","45","15","25","But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints."
"kjv","45","15","26","For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem."
"kjv","45","15","27","It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things."
"kjv","45","15","28","When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain."
"kjv","45","15","29","And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ."
"kjv","45","15","30","Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;"
"kjv","45","15","31","That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;"
"kjv","45","15","32","That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed."
"kjv","45","15","33","Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","45","16","1","I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:"
"kjv","45","16","2","That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also."
"kjv","45","16","3","Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","45","16","4","Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles."
"kjv","45","16","5","Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ."
"kjv","45","16","6","Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us."
"kjv","45","16","7","Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me."
"kjv","45","16","8","Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord."
"kjv","45","16","9","Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved."
"kjv","45","16","10","Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household."
"kjv","45","16","11","Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord."
"kjv","45","16","12","Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord."
"kjv","45","16","13","Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine."
"kjv","45","16","14","Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them."
"kjv","45","16","15","Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them."
"kjv","45","16","16","Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you."
"kjv","45","16","17","Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."
"kjv","45","16","18","For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
"kjv","45","16","19","For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil."
"kjv","45","16","20","And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
"kjv","45","16","21","Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you."
"kjv","45","16","22","I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord."
"kjv","45","16","23","Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother."
"kjv","45","16","24","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","45","16","25","Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,"
"kjv","45","16","26","But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"
"kjv","45","16","27","To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen."
"kjv","46","1","1","Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,"
"kjv","46","1","2","Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"
"kjv","46","1","3","Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","46","1","4","I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;"
"kjv","46","1","5","That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;"
"kjv","46","1","6","Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:"
"kjv","46","1","7","So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","46","1","8","Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","46","1","9","God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."
"kjv","46","1","10","Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
"kjv","46","1","11","For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you."
"kjv","46","1","12","Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ."
"kjv","46","1","13","Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
"kjv","46","1","14","I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;"
"kjv","46","1","15","Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name."
"kjv","46","1","16","And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other."
"kjv","46","1","17","For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect."
"kjv","46","1","18","For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."
"kjv","46","1","19","For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."
"kjv","46","1","20","Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?"
"kjv","46","1","21","For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."
"kjv","46","1","22","For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:"
"kjv","46","1","23","But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;"
"kjv","46","1","24","But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
"kjv","46","1","25","Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
"kjv","46","1","26","For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:"
"kjv","46","1","27","But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"
"kjv","46","1","28","And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:"
"kjv","46","1","29","That no flesh should glory in his presence."
"kjv","46","1","30","But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"
"kjv","46","1","31","That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
"kjv","46","2","1","And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God."
"kjv","46","2","2","For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."
"kjv","46","2","3","And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling."
"kjv","46","2","4","And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:"
"kjv","46","2","5","That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."
"kjv","46","2","6","Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:"
"kjv","46","2","7","But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:"
"kjv","46","2","8","Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."
"kjv","46","2","9","But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
"kjv","46","2","10","But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."
"kjv","46","2","11","For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God."
"kjv","46","2","12","Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."
"kjv","46","2","13","Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."
"kjv","46","2","14","But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
"kjv","46","2","15","But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man."
"kjv","46","2","16","For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."
"kjv","46","3","1","And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ."
"kjv","46","3","2","I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able."
"kjv","46","3","3","For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?"
"kjv","46","3","4","For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?"
"kjv","46","3","5","Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?"
"kjv","46","3","6","I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase."
"kjv","46","3","7","So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase."
"kjv","46","3","8","Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour."
"kjv","46","3","9","For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building."
"kjv","46","3","10","According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."
"kjv","46","3","11","For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
"kjv","46","3","12","Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;"
"kjv","46","3","13","Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is."
"kjv","46","3","14","If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward."
"kjv","46","3","15","If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire."
"kjv","46","3","16","Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"
"kjv","46","3","17","If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
"kjv","46","3","18","Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise."
"kjv","46","3","19","For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."
"kjv","46","3","20","And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain."
"kjv","46","3","21","Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;"
"kjv","46","3","22","Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;"
"kjv","46","3","23","And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's."
"kjv","46","4","1","Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God."
"kjv","46","4","2","Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful."
"kjv","46","4","3","But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self."
"kjv","46","4","4","For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord."
"kjv","46","4","5","Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."
"kjv","46","4","6","And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another."
"kjv","46","4","7","For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?"
"kjv","46","4","8","Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you."
"kjv","46","4","9","For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men."
"kjv","46","4","10","We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised."
"kjv","46","4","11","Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;"
"kjv","46","4","12","And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:"
"kjv","46","4","13","Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day."
"kjv","46","4","14","I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you."
"kjv","46","4","15","For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel."
"kjv","46","4","16","Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me."
"kjv","46","4","17","For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church."
"kjv","46","4","18","Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you."
"kjv","46","4","19","But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power."
"kjv","46","4","20","For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power."
"kjv","46","4","21","What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?"
"kjv","46","5","1","It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife."
"kjv","46","5","2","And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you."
"kjv","46","5","3","For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,"
"kjv","46","5","4","In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
"kjv","46","5","5","To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","46","5","6","Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"
"kjv","46","5","7","Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:"
"kjv","46","5","8","Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
"kjv","46","5","9","I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:"
"kjv","46","5","10","Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world."
"kjv","46","5","11","But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
"kjv","46","5","12","For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?"
"kjv","46","5","13","But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person."
"kjv","46","6","1","Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?"
"kjv","46","6","2","Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
"kjv","46","6","3","Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"
"kjv","46","6","4","If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church."
"kjv","46","6","5","I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?"
"kjv","46","6","6","But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers."
"kjv","46","6","7","Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?"
"kjv","46","6","8","Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren."
"kjv","46","6","9","Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,"
"kjv","46","6","10","Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
"kjv","46","6","11","And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
"kjv","46","6","12","All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
"kjv","46","6","13","Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body."
"kjv","46","6","14","And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power."
"kjv","46","6","15","Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid."
"kjv","46","6","16","What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh."
"kjv","46","6","17","But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."
"kjv","46","6","18","Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
"kjv","46","6","19","What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
"kjv","46","6","20","For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
"kjv","46","7","1","Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman."
"kjv","46","7","2","Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
"kjv","46","7","3","Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband."
"kjv","46","7","4","The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife."
"kjv","46","7","5","Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency."
"kjv","46","7","6","But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment."
"kjv","46","7","7","For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that."
"kjv","46","7","8","I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I."
"kjv","46","7","9","But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."
"kjv","46","7","10","And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:"
"kjv","46","7","11","But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife."
"kjv","46","7","12","But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away."
"kjv","46","7","13","And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him."
"kjv","46","7","14","For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy."
"kjv","46","7","15","But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace."
"kjv","46","7","16","For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?"
"kjv","46","7","17","But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches."
"kjv","46","7","18","Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised."
"kjv","46","7","19","Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God."
"kjv","46","7","20","Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called."
"kjv","46","7","21","Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather."
"kjv","46","7","22","For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant."
"kjv","46","7","23","Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men."
"kjv","46","7","24","Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God."
"kjv","46","7","25","Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful."
"kjv","46","7","26","I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be."
"kjv","46","7","27","Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife."
"kjv","46","7","28","But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you."
"kjv","46","7","29","But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;"
"kjv","46","7","30","And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;"
"kjv","46","7","31","And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away."
"kjv","46","7","32","But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:"
"kjv","46","7","33","But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife."
"kjv","46","7","34","There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband."
"kjv","46","7","35","And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction."
"kjv","46","7","36","But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry."
"kjv","46","7","37","Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well."
"kjv","46","7","38","So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better."
"kjv","46","7","39","The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord."
"kjv","46","7","40","But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God."
"kjv","46","8","1","Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth."
"kjv","46","8","2","And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know."
"kjv","46","8","3","But if any man love God, the same is known of him."
"kjv","46","8","4","As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one."
"kjv","46","8","5","For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)"
"kjv","46","8","6","But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him."
"kjv","46","8","7","Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled."
"kjv","46","8","8","But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse."
"kjv","46","8","9","But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak."
"kjv","46","8","10","For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;"
"kjv","46","8","11","And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?"
"kjv","46","8","12","But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ."
"kjv","46","8","13","Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend."
"kjv","46","9","1","Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?"
"kjv","46","9","2","If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord."
"kjv","46","9","3","Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,"
"kjv","46","9","4","Have we not power to eat and to drink?"
"kjv","46","9","5","Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?"
"kjv","46","9","6","Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?"
"kjv","46","9","7","Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?"
"kjv","46","9","8","Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?"
"kjv","46","9","9","For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?"
"kjv","46","9","10","Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope."
"kjv","46","9","11","If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?"
"kjv","46","9","12","If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ."
"kjv","46","9","13","Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?"
"kjv","46","9","14","Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel."
"kjv","46","9","15","But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void."
"kjv","46","9","16","For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"
"kjv","46","9","17","For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me."
"kjv","46","9","18","What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel."
"kjv","46","9","19","For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more."
"kjv","46","9","20","And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;"
"kjv","46","9","21","To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law."
"kjv","46","9","22","To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some."
"kjv","46","9","23","And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you."
"kjv","46","9","24","Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain."
"kjv","46","9","25","And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible."
"kjv","46","9","26","I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:"
"kjv","46","9","27","But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."
"kjv","46","10","1","Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;"
"kjv","46","10","2","And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;"
"kjv","46","10","3","And did all eat the same spiritual meat;"
"kjv","46","10","4","And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."
"kjv","46","10","5","But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness."
"kjv","46","10","6","Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted."
"kjv","46","10","7","Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
"kjv","46","10","8","Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand."
"kjv","46","10","9","Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents."
"kjv","46","10","10","Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer."
"kjv","46","10","11","Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
"kjv","46","10","12","Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."
"kjv","46","10","13","There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
"kjv","46","10","14","Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry."
"kjv","46","10","15","I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say."
"kjv","46","10","16","The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?"
"kjv","46","10","17","For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread."
"kjv","46","10","18","Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?"
"kjv","46","10","19","What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?"
"kjv","46","10","20","But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils."
"kjv","46","10","21","Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils."
"kjv","46","10","22","Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"
"kjv","46","10","23","All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."
"kjv","46","10","24","Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth."
"kjv","46","10","25","Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:"
"kjv","46","10","26","For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof."
"kjv","46","10","27","If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake."
"kjv","46","10","28","But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:"
"kjv","46","10","29","Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?"
"kjv","46","10","30","For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?"
"kjv","46","10","31","Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
"kjv","46","10","32","Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:"
"kjv","46","10","33","Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved."
"kjv","46","11","1","Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
"kjv","46","11","2","Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you."
"kjv","46","11","3","But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."
"kjv","46","11","4","Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head."
"kjv","46","11","5","But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven."
"kjv","46","11","6","For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered."
"kjv","46","11","7","For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."
"kjv","46","11","8","For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man."
"kjv","46","11","9","Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man."
"kjv","46","11","10","For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels."
"kjv","46","11","11","Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord."
"kjv","46","11","12","For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God."
"kjv","46","11","13","Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?"
"kjv","46","11","14","Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?"
"kjv","46","11","15","But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."
"kjv","46","11","16","But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."
"kjv","46","11","17","Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse."
"kjv","46","11","18","For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it."
"kjv","46","11","19","For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."
"kjv","46","11","20","When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper."
"kjv","46","11","21","For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken."
"kjv","46","11","22","What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not."
"kjv","46","11","23","For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:"
"kjv","46","11","24","And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me."
"kjv","46","11","25","After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."
"kjv","46","11","26","For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come."
"kjv","46","11","27","Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord."
"kjv","46","11","28","But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup."
"kjv","46","11","29","For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body."
"kjv","46","11","30","For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep."
"kjv","46","11","31","For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged."
"kjv","46","11","32","But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world."
"kjv","46","11","33","Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another."
"kjv","46","11","34","And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come."
"kjv","46","12","1","Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant."
"kjv","46","12","2","Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led."
"kjv","46","12","3","Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","46","12","4","Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit."
"kjv","46","12","5","And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord."
"kjv","46","12","6","And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all."
"kjv","46","12","7","But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."
"kjv","46","12","8","For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;"
"kjv","46","12","9","To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;"
"kjv","46","12","10","To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:"
"kjv","46","12","11","But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."
"kjv","46","12","12","For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."
"kjv","46","12","13","For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."
"kjv","46","12","14","For the body is not one member, but many."
"kjv","46","12","15","If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?"
"kjv","46","12","16","And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?"
"kjv","46","12","17","If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?"
"kjv","46","12","18","But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him."
"kjv","46","12","19","And if they were all one member, where were the body?"
"kjv","46","12","20","But now are they many members, yet but one body."
"kjv","46","12","21","And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you."
"kjv","46","12","22","Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:"
"kjv","46","12","23","And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness."
"kjv","46","12","24","For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:"
"kjv","46","12","25","That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another."
"kjv","46","12","26","And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it."
"kjv","46","12","27","Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."
"kjv","46","12","28","And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."
"kjv","46","12","29","Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?"
"kjv","46","12","30","Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?"
"kjv","46","12","31","But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way."
"kjv","46","13","1","Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."
"kjv","46","13","2","And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing."
"kjv","46","13","3","And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing."
"kjv","46","13","4","Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,"
"kjv","46","13","5","Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;"
"kjv","46","13","6","Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;"
"kjv","46","13","7","Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
"kjv","46","13","8","Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away."
"kjv","46","13","9","For we know in part, and we prophesy in part."
"kjv","46","13","10","But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."
"kjv","46","13","11","When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
"kjv","46","13","12","For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
"kjv","46","13","13","And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
"kjv","46","14","1","Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy."
"kjv","46","14","2","For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries."
"kjv","46","14","3","But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort."
"kjv","46","14","4","He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church."
"kjv","46","14","5","I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying."
"kjv","46","14","6","Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?"
"kjv","46","14","7","And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?"
"kjv","46","14","8","For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?"
"kjv","46","14","9","So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air."
"kjv","46","14","10","There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification."
"kjv","46","14","11","Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me."
"kjv","46","14","12","Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church."
"kjv","46","14","13","Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret."
"kjv","46","14","14","For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful."
"kjv","46","14","15","What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also."
"kjv","46","14","16","Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?"
"kjv","46","14","17","For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified."
"kjv","46","14","18","I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:"
"kjv","46","14","19","Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue."
"kjv","46","14","20","Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men."
"kjv","46","14","21","In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."
"kjv","46","14","22","Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe."
"kjv","46","14","23","If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?"
"kjv","46","14","24","But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:"
"kjv","46","14","25","And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth."
"kjv","46","14","26","How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying."
"kjv","46","14","27","If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret."
"kjv","46","14","28","But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."
"kjv","46","14","29","Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."
"kjv","46","14","30","If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace."
"kjv","46","14","31","For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted."
"kjv","46","14","32","And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets."
"kjv","46","14","33","For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
"kjv","46","14","34","Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."
"kjv","46","14","35","And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
"kjv","46","14","36","What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?"
"kjv","46","14","37","If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."
"kjv","46","14","38","But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant."
"kjv","46","14","39","Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues."
"kjv","46","14","40","Let all things be done decently and in order."
"kjv","46","15","1","Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;"
"kjv","46","15","2","By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain."
"kjv","46","15","3","For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;"
"kjv","46","15","4","And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
"kjv","46","15","5","And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:"
"kjv","46","15","6","After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep."
"kjv","46","15","7","After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles."
"kjv","46","15","8","And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time."
"kjv","46","15","9","For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God."
"kjv","46","15","10","But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."
"kjv","46","15","11","Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed."
"kjv","46","15","12","Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?"
"kjv","46","15","13","But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:"
"kjv","46","15","14","And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain."
"kjv","46","15","15","Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not."
"kjv","46","15","16","For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:"
"kjv","46","15","17","And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins."
"kjv","46","15","18","Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished."
"kjv","46","15","19","If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."
"kjv","46","15","20","But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept."
"kjv","46","15","21","For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead."
"kjv","46","15","22","For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."
"kjv","46","15","23","But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming."
"kjv","46","15","24","Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power."
"kjv","46","15","25","For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet."
"kjv","46","15","26","The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
"kjv","46","15","27","For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him."
"kjv","46","15","28","And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."
"kjv","46","15","29","Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?"
"kjv","46","15","30","And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?"
"kjv","46","15","31","I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."
"kjv","46","15","32","If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die."
"kjv","46","15","33","Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners."
"kjv","46","15","34","Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame."
"kjv","46","15","35","But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?"
"kjv","46","15","36","Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:"
"kjv","46","15","37","And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:"
"kjv","46","15","38","But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body."
"kjv","46","15","39","All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds."
"kjv","46","15","40","There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another."
"kjv","46","15","41","There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory."
"kjv","46","15","42","So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:"
"kjv","46","15","43","It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:"
"kjv","46","15","44","It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body."
"kjv","46","15","45","And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."
"kjv","46","15","46","Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual."
"kjv","46","15","47","The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven."
"kjv","46","15","48","As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly."
"kjv","46","15","49","And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."
"kjv","46","15","50","Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
"kjv","46","15","51","Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,"
"kjv","46","15","52","In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
"kjv","46","15","53","For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."
"kjv","46","15","54","So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
"kjv","46","15","55","O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
"kjv","46","15","56","The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law."
"kjv","46","15","57","But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","46","15","58","Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
"kjv","46","16","1","Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye."
"kjv","46","16","2","Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come."
"kjv","46","16","3","And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem."
"kjv","46","16","4","And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me."
"kjv","46","16","5","Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia."
"kjv","46","16","6","And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go."
"kjv","46","16","7","For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit."
"kjv","46","16","8","But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost."
"kjv","46","16","9","For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."
"kjv","46","16","10","Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do."
"kjv","46","16","11","Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren."
"kjv","46","16","12","As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time."
"kjv","46","16","13","Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
"kjv","46","16","14","Let all your things be done with charity."
"kjv","46","16","15","I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)"
"kjv","46","16","16","That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth."
"kjv","46","16","17","I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied."
"kjv","46","16","18","For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such."
"kjv","46","16","19","The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house."
"kjv","46","16","20","All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss."
"kjv","46","16","21","The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand."
"kjv","46","16","22","If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha."
"kjv","46","16","23","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."
"kjv","46","16","24","My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen."
"kjv","47","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:"
"kjv","47","1","2","Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","47","1","3","Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;"
"kjv","47","1","4","Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
"kjv","47","1","5","For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ."
"kjv","47","1","6","And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation."
"kjv","47","1","7","And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation."
"kjv","47","1","8","For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:"
"kjv","47","1","9","But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:"
"kjv","47","1","10","Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;"
"kjv","47","1","11","Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf."
"kjv","47","1","12","For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward."
"kjv","47","1","13","For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;"
"kjv","47","1","14","As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","47","1","15","And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;"
"kjv","47","1","16","And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea."
"kjv","47","1","17","When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?"
"kjv","47","1","18","But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay."
"kjv","47","1","19","For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea."
"kjv","47","1","20","For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."
"kjv","47","1","21","Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;"
"kjv","47","1","22","Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."
"kjv","47","1","23","Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth."
"kjv","47","1","24","Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand."
"kjv","47","2","1","But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness."
"kjv","47","2","2","For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?"
"kjv","47","2","3","And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all."
"kjv","47","2","4","For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you."
"kjv","47","2","5","But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all."
"kjv","47","2","6","Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many."
"kjv","47","2","7","So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow."
"kjv","47","2","8","Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him."
"kjv","47","2","9","For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things."
"kjv","47","2","10","To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;"
"kjv","47","2","11","Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."
"kjv","47","2","12","Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,"
"kjv","47","2","13","I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia."
"kjv","47","2","14","Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."
"kjv","47","2","15","For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:"
"kjv","47","2","16","To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?"
"kjv","47","2","17","For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ."
"kjv","47","3","1","Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?"
"kjv","47","3","2","Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:"
"kjv","47","3","3","Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart."
"kjv","47","3","4","And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:"
"kjv","47","3","5","Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;"
"kjv","47","3","6","Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
"kjv","47","3","7","But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:"
"kjv","47","3","8","How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?"
"kjv","47","3","9","For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory."
"kjv","47","3","10","For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth."
"kjv","47","3","11","For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious."
"kjv","47","3","12","Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:"
"kjv","47","3","13","And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:"
"kjv","47","3","14","But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ."
"kjv","47","3","15","But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart."
"kjv","47","3","16","Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away."
"kjv","47","3","17","Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
"kjv","47","3","18","But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
"kjv","47","4","1","Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;"
"kjv","47","4","2","But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God."
"kjv","47","4","3","But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:"
"kjv","47","4","4","In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."
"kjv","47","4","5","For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."
"kjv","47","4","6","For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","47","4","7","But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."
"kjv","47","4","8","We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;"
"kjv","47","4","9","Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;"
"kjv","47","4","10","Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body."
"kjv","47","4","11","For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh."
"kjv","47","4","12","So then death worketh in us, but life in you."
"kjv","47","4","13","We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;"
"kjv","47","4","14","Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you."
"kjv","47","4","15","For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God."
"kjv","47","4","16","For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day."
"kjv","47","4","17","For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"
"kjv","47","4","18","While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
"kjv","47","5","1","For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
"kjv","47","5","2","For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:"
"kjv","47","5","3","If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked."
"kjv","47","5","4","For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life."
"kjv","47","5","5","Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit."
"kjv","47","5","6","Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:"
"kjv","47","5","7","(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"
"kjv","47","5","8","We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
"kjv","47","5","9","Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him."
"kjv","47","5","10","For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
"kjv","47","5","11","Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences."
"kjv","47","5","12","For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart."
"kjv","47","5","13","For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause."
"kjv","47","5","14","For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:"
"kjv","47","5","15","And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again."
"kjv","47","5","16","Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more."
"kjv","47","5","17","Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
"kjv","47","5","18","And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;"
"kjv","47","5","19","To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
"kjv","47","5","20","Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."
"kjv","47","5","21","For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
"kjv","47","6","1","We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain."
"kjv","47","6","2","(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"
"kjv","47","6","3","Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:"
"kjv","47","6","4","But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,"
"kjv","47","6","5","In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;"
"kjv","47","6","6","By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,"
"kjv","47","6","7","By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,"
"kjv","47","6","8","By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;"
"kjv","47","6","9","As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;"
"kjv","47","6","10","As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things."
"kjv","47","6","11","O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged."
"kjv","47","6","12","Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels."
"kjv","47","6","13","Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged."
"kjv","47","6","14","Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
"kjv","47","6","15","And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?"
"kjv","47","6","16","And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
"kjv","47","6","17","Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,"
"kjv","47","6","18","And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
"kjv","47","7","1","Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
"kjv","47","7","2","Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man."
"kjv","47","7","3","I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you."
"kjv","47","7","4","Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation."
"kjv","47","7","5","For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears."
"kjv","47","7","6","Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;"
"kjv","47","7","7","And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more."
"kjv","47","7","8","For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season."
"kjv","47","7","9","Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing."
"kjv","47","7","10","For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
"kjv","47","7","11","For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter."
"kjv","47","7","12","Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you."
"kjv","47","7","13","Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all."
"kjv","47","7","14","For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth."
"kjv","47","7","15","And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him."
"kjv","47","7","16","I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things."
"kjv","47","8","1","Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;"
"kjv","47","8","2","How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality."
"kjv","47","8","3","For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;"
"kjv","47","8","4","Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints."
"kjv","47","8","5","And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God."
"kjv","47","8","6","Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also."
"kjv","47","8","7","Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also."
"kjv","47","8","8","I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love."
"kjv","47","8","9","For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."
"kjv","47","8","10","And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago."
"kjv","47","8","11","Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have."
"kjv","47","8","12","For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not."
"kjv","47","8","13","For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:"
"kjv","47","8","14","But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:"
"kjv","47","8","15","As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack."
"kjv","47","8","16","But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you."
"kjv","47","8","17","For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you."
"kjv","47","8","18","And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;"
"kjv","47","8","19","And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:"
"kjv","47","8","20","Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:"
"kjv","47","8","21","Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men."
"kjv","47","8","22","And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you."
"kjv","47","8","23","Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ."
"kjv","47","8","24","Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf."
"kjv","47","9","1","For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:"
"kjv","47","9","2","For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many."
"kjv","47","9","3","Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:"
"kjv","47","9","4","Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting."
"kjv","47","9","5","Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up before hand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness."
"kjv","47","9","6","But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
"kjv","47","9","7","Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
"kjv","47","9","8","And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:"
"kjv","47","9","9","(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever."
"kjv","47","9","10","Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)"
"kjv","47","9","11","Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God."
"kjv","47","9","12","For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;"
"kjv","47","9","13","Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;"
"kjv","47","9","14","And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you."
"kjv","47","9","15","Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift."
"kjv","47","10","1","Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:"
"kjv","47","10","2","But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh."
"kjv","47","10","3","For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:"
"kjv","47","10","4","(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)"
"kjv","47","10","5","Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
"kjv","47","10","6","And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."
"kjv","47","10","7","Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's."
"kjv","47","10","8","For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:"
"kjv","47","10","9","That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters."
"kjv","47","10","10","For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible."
"kjv","47","10","11","Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present."
"kjv","47","10","12","For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."
"kjv","47","10","13","But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you."
"kjv","47","10","14","For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:"
"kjv","47","10","15","Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,"
"kjv","47","10","16","To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand."
"kjv","47","10","17","But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
"kjv","47","10","18","For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."
"kjv","47","11","1","Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me."
"kjv","47","11","2","For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ."
"kjv","47","11","3","But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
"kjv","47","11","4","For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."
"kjv","47","11","5","For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles."
"kjv","47","11","6","But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all things."
"kjv","47","11","7","Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?"
"kjv","47","11","8","I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service."
"kjv","47","11","9","And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself."
"kjv","47","11","10","As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia."
"kjv","47","11","11","Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth."
"kjv","47","11","12","But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we."
"kjv","47","11","13","For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ."
"kjv","47","11","14","And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
"kjv","47","11","15","Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
"kjv","47","11","16","I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little."
"kjv","47","11","17","That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting."
"kjv","47","11","18","Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also."
"kjv","47","11","19","For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise."
"kjv","47","11","20","For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face."
"kjv","47","11","21","I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also."
"kjv","47","11","22","Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I."
"kjv","47","11","23","Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft."
"kjv","47","11","24","Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one."
"kjv","47","11","25","Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;"
"kjv","47","11","26","In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;"
"kjv","47","11","27","In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness."
"kjv","47","11","28","Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches."
"kjv","47","11","29","Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?"
"kjv","47","11","30","If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities."
"kjv","47","11","31","The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not."
"kjv","47","11","32","In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:"
"kjv","47","11","33","And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands."
"kjv","47","12","1","It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord."
"kjv","47","12","2","I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven."
"kjv","47","12","3","And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)"
"kjv","47","12","4","How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
"kjv","47","12","5","Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities."
"kjv","47","12","6","For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me."
"kjv","47","12","7","And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure."
"kjv","47","12","8","For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me."
"kjv","47","12","9","And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
"kjv","47","12","10","Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
"kjv","47","12","11","I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing."
"kjv","47","12","12","Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds."
"kjv","47","12","13","For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong."
"kjv","47","12","14","Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children."
"kjv","47","12","15","And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved."
"kjv","47","12","16","But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile."
"kjv","47","12","17","Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?"
"kjv","47","12","18","I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?"
"kjv","47","12","19","Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying."
"kjv","47","12","20","For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:"
"kjv","47","12","21","And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed."
"kjv","47","13","1","This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."
"kjv","47","13","2","I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:"
"kjv","47","13","3","Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you."
"kjv","47","13","4","For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you."
"kjv","47","13","5","Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"
"kjv","47","13","6","But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates."
"kjv","47","13","7","Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates."
"kjv","47","13","8","For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth."
"kjv","47","13","9","For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection."
"kjv","47","13","10","Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction."
"kjv","47","13","11","Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you."
"kjv","47","13","12","Greet one another with an holy kiss."
"kjv","47","13","13","All the saints salute you."
"kjv","47","13","14","The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","48","1","1","Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)"
"kjv","48","1","2","And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:"
"kjv","48","1","3","Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,"
"kjv","48","1","4","Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:"
"kjv","48","1","5","To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","48","1","6","I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:"
"kjv","48","1","7","Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."
"kjv","48","1","8","But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed."
"kjv","48","1","9","As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
"kjv","48","1","10","For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."
"kjv","48","1","11","But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man."
"kjv","48","1","12","For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","48","1","13","For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:"
"kjv","48","1","14","And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers."
"kjv","48","1","15","But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,"
"kjv","48","1","16","To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:"
"kjv","48","1","17","Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus."
"kjv","48","1","18","Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days."
"kjv","48","1","19","But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother."
"kjv","48","1","20","Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not."
"kjv","48","1","21","Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;"
"kjv","48","1","22","And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:"
"kjv","48","1","23","But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed."
"kjv","48","1","24","And they glorified God in me."
"kjv","48","2","1","Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also."
"kjv","48","2","2","And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain."
"kjv","48","2","3","But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:"
"kjv","48","2","4","And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:"
"kjv","48","2","5","To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you."
"kjv","48","2","6","But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:"
"kjv","48","2","7","But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;"
"kjv","48","2","8","(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)"
"kjv","48","2","9","And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision."
"kjv","48","2","10","Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do."
"kjv","48","2","11","But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed."
"kjv","48","2","12","For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision."
"kjv","48","2","13","And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation."
"kjv","48","2","14","But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"
"kjv","48","2","15","We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,"
"kjv","48","2","16","Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
"kjv","48","2","17","But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid."
"kjv","48","2","18","For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor."
"kjv","48","2","19","For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God."
"kjv","48","2","20","I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
"kjv","48","2","21","I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
"kjv","48","3","1","O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?"
"kjv","48","3","2","This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
"kjv","48","3","3","Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?"
"kjv","48","3","4","Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain."
"kjv","48","3","5","He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
"kjv","48","3","6","Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
"kjv","48","3","7","Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham."
"kjv","48","3","8","And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed."
"kjv","48","3","9","So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham."
"kjv","48","3","10","For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them."
"kjv","48","3","11","But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith."
"kjv","48","3","12","And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them."
"kjv","48","3","13","Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"
"kjv","48","3","14","That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
"kjv","48","3","15","Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto."
"kjv","48","3","16","Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ."
"kjv","48","3","17","And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect."
"kjv","48","3","18","For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise."
"kjv","48","3","19","Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator."
"kjv","48","3","20","Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one."
"kjv","48","3","21","Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law."
"kjv","48","3","22","But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe."
"kjv","48","3","23","But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed."
"kjv","48","3","24","Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."
"kjv","48","3","25","But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster."
"kjv","48","3","26","For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","48","3","27","For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
"kjv","48","3","28","There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","48","3","29","And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
"kjv","48","4","1","Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;"
"kjv","48","4","2","But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father."
"kjv","48","4","3","Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:"
"kjv","48","4","4","But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,"
"kjv","48","4","5","To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."
"kjv","48","4","6","And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father."
"kjv","48","4","7","Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."
"kjv","48","4","8","Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods."
"kjv","48","4","9","But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?"
"kjv","48","4","10","Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years."
"kjv","48","4","11","I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
"kjv","48","4","12","Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all."
"kjv","48","4","13","Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first."
"kjv","48","4","14","And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus."
"kjv","48","4","15","Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me."
"kjv","48","4","16","Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
"kjv","48","4","17","They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them."
"kjv","48","4","18","But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you."
"kjv","48","4","19","My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,"
"kjv","48","4","20","I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you."
"kjv","48","4","21","Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?"
"kjv","48","4","22","For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman."
"kjv","48","4","23","But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise."
"kjv","48","4","24","Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar."
"kjv","48","4","25","For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children."
"kjv","48","4","26","But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."
"kjv","48","4","27","For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband."
"kjv","48","4","28","Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise."
"kjv","48","4","29","But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now."
"kjv","48","4","30","Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman."
"kjv","48","4","31","So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free."
"kjv","48","5","1","Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
"kjv","48","5","2","Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing."
"kjv","48","5","3","For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law."
"kjv","48","5","4","Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
"kjv","48","5","5","For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith."
"kjv","48","5","6","For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love."
"kjv","48","5","7","Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?"
"kjv","48","5","8","This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you."
"kjv","48","5","9","A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."
"kjv","48","5","10","I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be."
"kjv","48","5","11","And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased."
"kjv","48","5","12","I would they were even cut off which trouble you."
"kjv","48","5","13","For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another."
"kjv","48","5","14","For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
"kjv","48","5","15","But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
"kjv","48","5","16","This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
"kjv","48","5","17","For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."
"kjv","48","5","18","But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."
"kjv","48","5","19","Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,"
"kjv","48","5","20","Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,"
"kjv","48","5","21","Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
"kjv","48","5","22","But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,"
"kjv","48","5","23","Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
"kjv","48","5","24","And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."
"kjv","48","5","25","If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."
"kjv","48","5","26","Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
"kjv","48","6","1","Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
"kjv","48","6","2","Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
"kjv","48","6","3","For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."
"kjv","48","6","4","But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another."
"kjv","48","6","5","For every man shall bear his own burden."
"kjv","48","6","6","Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things."
"kjv","48","6","7","Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
"kjv","48","6","8","For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
"kjv","48","6","9","And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
"kjv","48","6","10","As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."
"kjv","48","6","11","Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand."
"kjv","48","6","12","As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ."
"kjv","48","6","13","For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh."
"kjv","48","6","14","But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
"kjv","48","6","15","For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature."
"kjv","48","6","16","And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."
"kjv","48","6","17","From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","48","6","18","Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."
"kjv","49","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","49","1","2","Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","49","1","3","Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:"
"kjv","49","1","4","According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:"
"kjv","49","1","5","Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,"
"kjv","49","1","6","To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved."
"kjv","49","1","7","In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;"
"kjv","49","1","8","Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;"
"kjv","49","1","9","Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:"
"kjv","49","1","10","That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:"
"kjv","49","1","11","In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:"
"kjv","49","1","12","That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ."
"kjv","49","1","13","In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,"
"kjv","49","1","14","Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."
"kjv","49","1","15","Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,"
"kjv","49","1","16","Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;"
"kjv","49","1","17","That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:"
"kjv","49","1","18","The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,"
"kjv","49","1","19","And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,"
"kjv","49","1","20","Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,"
"kjv","49","1","21","Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:"
"kjv","49","1","22","And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,"
"kjv","49","1","23","Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all."
"kjv","49","2","1","And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:"
"kjv","49","2","2","Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:"
"kjv","49","2","3","Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."
"kjv","49","2","4","But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,"
"kjv","49","2","5","Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)"
"kjv","49","2","6","And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","49","2","7","That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus."
"kjv","49","2","8","For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
"kjv","49","2","9","Not of works, lest any man should boast."
"kjv","49","2","10","For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
"kjv","49","2","11","Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;"
"kjv","49","2","12","That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:"
"kjv","49","2","13","But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."
"kjv","49","2","14","For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;"
"kjv","49","2","15","Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;"
"kjv","49","2","16","And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:"
"kjv","49","2","17","And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh."
"kjv","49","2","18","For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father."
"kjv","49","2","19","Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;"
"kjv","49","2","20","And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;"
"kjv","49","2","21","In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:"
"kjv","49","2","22","In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."
"kjv","49","3","1","For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,"
"kjv","49","3","2","If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:"
"kjv","49","3","3","How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,"
"kjv","49","3","4","Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)"
"kjv","49","3","5","Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;"
"kjv","49","3","6","That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:"
"kjv","49","3","7","Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power."
"kjv","49","3","8","Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;"
"kjv","49","3","9","And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","49","3","10","To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,"
"kjv","49","3","11","According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:"
"kjv","49","3","12","In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him."
"kjv","49","3","13","Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory."
"kjv","49","3","14","For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,"
"kjv","49","3","15","Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,"
"kjv","49","3","16","That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;"
"kjv","49","3","17","That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,"
"kjv","49","3","18","May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;"
"kjv","49","3","19","And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."
"kjv","49","3","20","Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
"kjv","49","3","21","Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."
"kjv","49","4","1","I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,"
"kjv","49","4","2","With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;"
"kjv","49","4","3","Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
"kjv","49","4","4","There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;"
"kjv","49","4","5","One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
"kjv","49","4","6","One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
"kjv","49","4","7","But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ."
"kjv","49","4","8","Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men."
"kjv","49","4","9","(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?"
"kjv","49","4","10","He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)"
"kjv","49","4","11","And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;"
"kjv","49","4","12","For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"
"kjv","49","4","13","Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"
"kjv","49","4","14","That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"
"kjv","49","4","15","But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"
"kjv","49","4","16","From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."
"kjv","49","4","17","This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,"
"kjv","49","4","18","Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:"
"kjv","49","4","19","Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness."
"kjv","49","4","20","But ye have not so learned Christ;"
"kjv","49","4","21","If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:"
"kjv","49","4","22","That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;"
"kjv","49","4","23","And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;"
"kjv","49","4","24","And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
"kjv","49","4","25","Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another."
"kjv","49","4","26","Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"
"kjv","49","4","27","Neither give place to the devil."
"kjv","49","4","28","Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."
"kjv","49","4","29","Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
"kjv","49","4","30","And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."
"kjv","49","4","31","Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:"
"kjv","49","4","32","And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
"kjv","49","5","1","Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;"
"kjv","49","5","2","And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour."
"kjv","49","5","3","But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;"
"kjv","49","5","4","Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks."
"kjv","49","5","5","For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
"kjv","49","5","6","Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience."
"kjv","49","5","7","Be not ye therefore partakers with them."
"kjv","49","5","8","For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:"
"kjv","49","5","9","(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)"
"kjv","49","5","10","Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord."
"kjv","49","5","11","And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
"kjv","49","5","12","For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret."
"kjv","49","5","13","But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light."
"kjv","49","5","14","Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."
"kjv","49","5","15","See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,"
"kjv","49","5","16","Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
"kjv","49","5","17","Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
"kjv","49","5","18","And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;"
"kjv","49","5","19","Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"
"kjv","49","5","20","Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;"
"kjv","49","5","21","Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God."
"kjv","49","5","22","Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord."
"kjv","49","5","23","For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body."
"kjv","49","5","24","Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."
"kjv","49","5","25","Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;"
"kjv","49","5","26","That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,"
"kjv","49","5","27","That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
"kjv","49","5","28","So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."
"kjv","49","5","29","For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:"
"kjv","49","5","30","For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones."
"kjv","49","5","31","For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
"kjv","49","5","32","This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."
"kjv","49","5","33","Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband."
"kjv","49","6","1","Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right."
"kjv","49","6","2","Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;"
"kjv","49","6","3","That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."
"kjv","49","6","4","And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
"kjv","49","6","5","Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;"
"kjv","49","6","6","Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;"
"kjv","49","6","7","With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:"
"kjv","49","6","8","Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free."
"kjv","49","6","9","And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him."
"kjv","49","6","10","Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might."
"kjv","49","6","11","Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
"kjv","49","6","12","For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
"kjv","49","6","13","Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
"kjv","49","6","14","Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;"
"kjv","49","6","15","And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;"
"kjv","49","6","16","Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
"kjv","49","6","17","And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"
"kjv","49","6","18","Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;"
"kjv","49","6","19","And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,"
"kjv","49","6","20","For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
"kjv","49","6","21","But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:"
"kjv","49","6","22","Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts."
"kjv","49","6","23","Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","49","6","24","Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen."
"kjv","50","1","1","Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:"
"kjv","50","1","2","Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","50","1","3","I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,"
"kjv","50","1","4","Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,"
"kjv","50","1","5","For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;"
"kjv","50","1","6","Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","50","1","7","Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace."
"kjv","50","1","8","For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","50","1","9","And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;"
"kjv","50","1","10","That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;"
"kjv","50","1","11","Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."
"kjv","50","1","12","But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;"
"kjv","50","1","13","So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;"
"kjv","50","1","14","And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear."
"kjv","50","1","15","Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:"
"kjv","50","1","16","The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:"
"kjv","50","1","17","But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel."
"kjv","50","1","18","What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."
"kjv","50","1","19","For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,"
"kjv","50","1","20","According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death."
"kjv","50","1","21","For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
"kjv","50","1","22","But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not."
"kjv","50","1","23","For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:"
"kjv","50","1","24","Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you."
"kjv","50","1","25","And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;"
"kjv","50","1","26","That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again."
"kjv","50","1","27","Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;"
"kjv","50","1","28","And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God."
"kjv","50","1","29","For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;"
"kjv","50","1","30","Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me."
"kjv","50","2","1","If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,"
"kjv","50","2","2","Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind."
"kjv","50","2","3","Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."
"kjv","50","2","4","Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others."
"kjv","50","2","5","Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","50","2","6","Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"
"kjv","50","2","7","But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:"
"kjv","50","2","8","And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
"kjv","50","2","9","Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:"
"kjv","50","2","10","That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;"
"kjv","50","2","11","And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
"kjv","50","2","12","Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
"kjv","50","2","13","For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."
"kjv","50","2","14","Do all things without murmurings and disputings:"
"kjv","50","2","15","That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;"
"kjv","50","2","16","Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain."
"kjv","50","2","17","Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all."
"kjv","50","2","18","For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me."
"kjv","50","2","19","But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state."
"kjv","50","2","20","For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state."
"kjv","50","2","21","For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's."
"kjv","50","2","22","But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel."
"kjv","50","2","23","Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me."
"kjv","50","2","24","But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly."
"kjv","50","2","25","Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants."
"kjv","50","2","26","For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick."
"kjv","50","2","27","For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow."
"kjv","50","2","28","I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful."
"kjv","50","2","29","Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:"
"kjv","50","2","30","Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me."
"kjv","50","3","1","Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe."
"kjv","50","3","2","Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision."
"kjv","50","3","3","For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh."
"kjv","50","3","4","Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:"
"kjv","50","3","5","Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;"
"kjv","50","3","6","Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless."
"kjv","50","3","7","But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ."
"kjv","50","3","8","Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"
"kjv","50","3","9","And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:"
"kjv","50","3","10","That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"
"kjv","50","3","11","If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."
"kjv","50","3","12","Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus."
"kjv","50","3","13","Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,"
"kjv","50","3","14","I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","50","3","15","Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you."
"kjv","50","3","16","Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing."
"kjv","50","3","17","Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample."
"kjv","50","3","18","(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:"
"kjv","50","3","19","Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)"
"kjv","50","3","20","For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","50","3","21","Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."
"kjv","50","4","1","Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved."
"kjv","50","4","2","I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord."
"kjv","50","4","3","And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life."
"kjv","50","4","4","Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice."
"kjv","50","4","5","Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."
"kjv","50","4","6","Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
"kjv","50","4","7","And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
"kjv","50","4","8","Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
"kjv","50","4","9","Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."
"kjv","50","4","10","But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity."
"kjv","50","4","11","Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."
"kjv","50","4","12","I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."
"kjv","50","4","13","I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
"kjv","50","4","14","Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction."
"kjv","50","4","15","Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only."
"kjv","50","4","16","For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity."
"kjv","50","4","17","Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account."
"kjv","50","4","18","But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God."
"kjv","50","4","19","But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
"kjv","50","4","20","Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","50","4","21","Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you."
"kjv","50","4","22","All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household."
"kjv","50","4","23","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","51","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,"
"kjv","51","1","2","To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","51","1","3","We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,"
"kjv","51","1","4","Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,"
"kjv","51","1","5","For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;"
"kjv","51","1","6","Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:"
"kjv","51","1","7","As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;"
"kjv","51","1","8","Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit."
"kjv","51","1","9","For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;"
"kjv","51","1","10","That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;"
"kjv","51","1","11","Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;"
"kjv","51","1","12","Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:"
"kjv","51","1","13","Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:"
"kjv","51","1","14","In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
"kjv","51","1","15","Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:"
"kjv","51","1","16","For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:"
"kjv","51","1","17","And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
"kjv","51","1","18","And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
"kjv","51","1","19","For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;"
"kjv","51","1","20","And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."
"kjv","51","1","21","And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled"
"kjv","51","1","22","In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:"
"kjv","51","1","23","If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;"
"kjv","51","1","24","Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:"
"kjv","51","1","25","Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;"
"kjv","51","1","26","Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:"
"kjv","51","1","27","To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
"kjv","51","1","28","Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:"
"kjv","51","1","29","Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily."
"kjv","51","2","1","For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;"
"kjv","51","2","2","That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;"
"kjv","51","2","3","In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
"kjv","51","2","4","And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words."
"kjv","51","2","5","For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ."
"kjv","51","2","6","As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:"
"kjv","51","2","7","Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."
"kjv","51","2","8","Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
"kjv","51","2","9","For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
"kjv","51","2","10","And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:"
"kjv","51","2","11","In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:"
"kjv","51","2","12","Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead."
"kjv","51","2","13","And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;"
"kjv","51","2","14","Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
"kjv","51","2","15","And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."
"kjv","51","2","16","Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:"
"kjv","51","2","17","Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
"kjv","51","2","18","Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,"
"kjv","51","2","19","And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God."
"kjv","51","2","20","Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,"
"kjv","51","2","21","(Touch not; taste not; handle not;"
"kjv","51","2","22","Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?"
"kjv","51","2","23","Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh."
"kjv","51","3","1","If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God."
"kjv","51","3","2","Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth."
"kjv","51","3","3","For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
"kjv","51","3","4","When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory."
"kjv","51","3","5","Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:"
"kjv","51","3","6","For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
"kjv","51","3","7","In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them."
"kjv","51","3","8","But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."
"kjv","51","3","9","Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;"
"kjv","51","3","10","And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:"
"kjv","51","3","11","Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."
"kjv","51","3","12","Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;"
"kjv","51","3","13","Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye."
"kjv","51","3","14","And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness."
"kjv","51","3","15","And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."
"kjv","51","3","16","Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
"kjv","51","3","17","And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."
"kjv","51","3","18","Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord."
"kjv","51","3","19","Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them."
"kjv","51","3","20","Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord."
"kjv","51","3","21","Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged."
"kjv","51","3","22","Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:"
"kjv","51","3","23","And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;"
"kjv","51","3","24","Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."
"kjv","51","3","25","But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons."
"kjv","51","4","1","Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven."
"kjv","51","4","2","Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;"
"kjv","51","4","3","Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:"
"kjv","51","4","4","That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak."
"kjv","51","4","5","Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time."
"kjv","51","4","6","Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
"kjv","51","4","7","All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:"
"kjv","51","4","8","Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;"
"kjv","51","4","9","With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here."
"kjv","51","4","10","Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)"
"kjv","51","4","11","And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me."
"kjv","51","4","12","Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God."
"kjv","51","4","13","For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis."
"kjv","51","4","14","Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you."
"kjv","51","4","15","Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house."
"kjv","51","4","16","And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea."
"kjv","51","4","17","And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it."
"kjv","51","4","18","The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen."
"kjv","52","1","1","Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","52","1","2","We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;"
"kjv","52","1","3","Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;"
"kjv","52","1","4","Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God."
"kjv","52","1","5","For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake."
"kjv","52","1","6","And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:"
"kjv","52","1","7","So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia."
"kjv","52","1","8","For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing."
"kjv","52","1","9","For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;"
"kjv","52","1","10","And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come."
"kjv","52","2","1","For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:"
"kjv","52","2","2","But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention."
"kjv","52","2","3","For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:"
"kjv","52","2","4","But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts."
"kjv","52","2","5","For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:"
"kjv","52","2","6","Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ."
"kjv","52","2","7","But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:"
"kjv","52","2","8","So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us."
"kjv","52","2","9","For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God."
"kjv","52","2","10","Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:"
"kjv","52","2","11","As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,"
"kjv","52","2","12","That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory."
"kjv","52","2","13","For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."
"kjv","52","2","14","For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:"
"kjv","52","2","15","Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:"
"kjv","52","2","16","Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost."
"kjv","52","2","17","But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire."
"kjv","52","2","18","Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us."
"kjv","52","2","19","For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?"
"kjv","52","2","20","For ye are our glory and joy."
"kjv","52","3","1","Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;"
"kjv","52","3","2","And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:"
"kjv","52","3","3","That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto."
"kjv","52","3","4","For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know."
"kjv","52","3","5","For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain."
"kjv","52","3","6","But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:"
"kjv","52","3","7","Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:"
"kjv","52","3","8","For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord."
"kjv","52","3","9","For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;"
"kjv","52","3","10","Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?"
"kjv","52","3","11","Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you."
"kjv","52","3","12","And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:"
"kjv","52","3","13","To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints."
"kjv","52","4","1","Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more."
"kjv","52","4","2","For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus."
"kjv","52","4","3","For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:"
"kjv","52","4","4","That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;"
"kjv","52","4","5","Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:"
"kjv","52","4","6","That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified."
"kjv","52","4","7","For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness."
"kjv","52","4","8","He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit."
"kjv","52","4","9","But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another."
"kjv","52","4","10","And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;"
"kjv","52","4","11","And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;"
"kjv","52","4","12","That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing."
"kjv","52","4","13","But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope."
"kjv","52","4","14","For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."
"kjv","52","4","15","For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep."
"kjv","52","4","16","For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"
"kjv","52","4","17","Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
"kjv","52","4","18","Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
"kjv","52","5","1","But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you."
"kjv","52","5","2","For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
"kjv","52","5","3","For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
"kjv","52","5","4","But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief."
"kjv","52","5","5","Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."
"kjv","52","5","6","Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."
"kjv","52","5","7","For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night."
"kjv","52","5","8","But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation."
"kjv","52","5","9","For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"
"kjv","52","5","10","Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."
"kjv","52","5","11","Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do."
"kjv","52","5","12","And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;"
"kjv","52","5","13","And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves."
"kjv","52","5","14","Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men."
"kjv","52","5","15","See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men."
"kjv","52","5","16","Rejoice evermore."
"kjv","52","5","17","Pray without ceasing."
"kjv","52","5","18","In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
"kjv","52","5","19","Quench not the Spirit."
"kjv","52","5","20","Despise not prophesyings."
"kjv","52","5","21","Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
"kjv","52","5","22","Abstain from all appearance of evil."
"kjv","52","5","23","And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","52","5","24","Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it."
"kjv","52","5","25","Brethren, pray for us."
"kjv","52","5","26","Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss."
"kjv","52","5","27","I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren."
"kjv","52","5","28","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
"kjv","53","1","1","Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","53","1","2","Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","53","1","3","We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;"
"kjv","53","1","4","So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:"
"kjv","53","1","5","Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:"
"kjv","53","1","6","Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;"
"kjv","53","1","7","And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,"
"kjv","53","1","8","In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","53","1","9","Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;"
"kjv","53","1","10","When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day."
"kjv","53","1","11","Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:"
"kjv","53","1","12","That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","53","2","1","Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,"
"kjv","53","2","2","That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand."
"kjv","53","2","3","Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
"kjv","53","2","4","Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
"kjv","53","2","5","Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?"
"kjv","53","2","6","And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time."
"kjv","53","2","7","For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."
"kjv","53","2","8","And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"
"kjv","53","2","9","Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
"kjv","53","2","10","And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
"kjv","53","2","11","And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"
"kjv","53","2","12","That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
"kjv","53","2","13","But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:"
"kjv","53","2","14","Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","53","2","15","Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle."
"kjv","53","2","16","Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,"
"kjv","53","2","17","Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work."
"kjv","53","3","1","Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:"
"kjv","53","3","2","And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith."
"kjv","53","3","3","But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil."
"kjv","53","3","4","And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you."
"kjv","53","3","5","And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ."
"kjv","53","3","6","Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us."
"kjv","53","3","7","For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;"
"kjv","53","3","8","Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:"
"kjv","53","3","9","Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us."
"kjv","53","3","10","For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."
"kjv","53","3","11","For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies."
"kjv","53","3","12","Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread."
"kjv","53","3","13","But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing."
"kjv","53","3","14","And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed."
"kjv","53","3","15","Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother."
"kjv","53","3","16","Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all."
"kjv","53","3","17","The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write."
"kjv","53","3","18","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","54","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;"
"kjv","54","1","2","Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord."
"kjv","54","1","3","As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,"
"kjv","54","1","4","Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do."
"kjv","54","1","5","Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:"
"kjv","54","1","6","From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;"
"kjv","54","1","7","Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm."
"kjv","54","1","8","But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;"
"kjv","54","1","9","Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,"
"kjv","54","1","10","For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;"
"kjv","54","1","11","According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust."
"kjv","54","1","12","And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;"
"kjv","54","1","13","Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief."
"kjv","54","1","14","And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","54","1","15","This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."
"kjv","54","1","16","Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting."
"kjv","54","1","17","Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","54","1","18","This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;"
"kjv","54","1","19","Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:"
"kjv","54","1","20","Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme."
"kjv","54","2","1","I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;"
"kjv","54","2","2","For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."
"kjv","54","2","3","For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;"
"kjv","54","2","4","Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
"kjv","54","2","5","For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
"kjv","54","2","6","Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
"kjv","54","2","7","Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity."
"kjv","54","2","8","I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting."
"kjv","54","2","9","In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;"
"kjv","54","2","10","But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."
"kjv","54","2","11","Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection."
"kjv","54","2","12","But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."
"kjv","54","2","13","For Adam was first formed, then Eve."
"kjv","54","2","14","And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
"kjv","54","2","15","Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."
"kjv","54","3","1","This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work."
"kjv","54","3","2","A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;"
"kjv","54","3","3","Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;"
"kjv","54","3","4","One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;"
"kjv","54","3","5","(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"
"kjv","54","3","6","Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil."
"kjv","54","3","7","Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."
"kjv","54","3","8","Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;"
"kjv","54","3","9","Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience."
"kjv","54","3","10","And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless."
"kjv","54","3","11","Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things."
"kjv","54","3","12","Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well."
"kjv","54","3","13","For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","54","3","14","These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:"
"kjv","54","3","15","But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
"kjv","54","3","16","And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
"kjv","54","4","1","Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"
"kjv","54","4","2","Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;"
"kjv","54","4","3","Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."
"kjv","54","4","4","For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:"
"kjv","54","4","5","For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."
"kjv","54","4","6","If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained."
"kjv","54","4","7","But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness."
"kjv","54","4","8","For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."
"kjv","54","4","9","This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation."
"kjv","54","4","10","For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe."
"kjv","54","4","11","These things command and teach."
"kjv","54","4","12","Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
"kjv","54","4","13","Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine."
"kjv","54","4","14","Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery."
"kjv","54","4","15","Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."
"kjv","54","4","16","Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee."
"kjv","54","5","1","Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;"
"kjv","54","5","2","The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity."
"kjv","54","5","3","Honour widows that are widows indeed."
"kjv","54","5","4","But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God."
"kjv","54","5","5","Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day."
"kjv","54","5","6","But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth."
"kjv","54","5","7","And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless."
"kjv","54","5","8","But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."
"kjv","54","5","9","Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,"
"kjv","54","5","10","Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work."
"kjv","54","5","11","But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;"
"kjv","54","5","12","Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith."
"kjv","54","5","13","And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not."
"kjv","54","5","14","I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully."
"kjv","54","5","15","For some are already turned aside after Satan."
"kjv","54","5","16","If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed."
"kjv","54","5","17","Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine."
"kjv","54","5","18","For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward."
"kjv","54","5","19","Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses."
"kjv","54","5","20","Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."
"kjv","54","5","21","I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality."
"kjv","54","5","22","Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure."
"kjv","54","5","23","Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."
"kjv","54","5","24","Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after."
"kjv","54","5","25","Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid."
"kjv","54","6","1","Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed."
"kjv","54","6","2","And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort."
"kjv","54","6","3","If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;"
"kjv","54","6","4","He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,"
"kjv","54","6","5","Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."
"kjv","54","6","6","But godliness with contentment is great gain."
"kjv","54","6","7","For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."
"kjv","54","6","8","And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."
"kjv","54","6","9","But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition."
"kjv","54","6","10","For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
"kjv","54","6","11","But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."
"kjv","54","6","12","Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses."
"kjv","54","6","13","I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;"
"kjv","54","6","14","That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","54","6","15","Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;"
"kjv","54","6","16","Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen."
"kjv","54","6","17","Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;"
"kjv","54","6","18","That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;"
"kjv","54","6","19","Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life."
"kjv","54","6","20","O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:"
"kjv","54","6","21","Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen."
"kjv","55","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,"
"kjv","55","1","2","To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."
"kjv","55","1","3","I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;"
"kjv","55","1","4","Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;"
"kjv","55","1","5","When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also."
"kjv","55","1","6","Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands."
"kjv","55","1","7","For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
"kjv","55","1","8","Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;"
"kjv","55","1","9","Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,"
"kjv","55","1","10","But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:"
"kjv","55","1","11","Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles."
"kjv","55","1","12","For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
"kjv","55","1","13","Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","55","1","14","That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us."
"kjv","55","1","15","This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes."
"kjv","55","1","16","The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:"
"kjv","55","1","17","But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me."
"kjv","55","1","18","The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well."
"kjv","55","2","1","Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","55","2","2","And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
"kjv","55","2","3","Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","55","2","4","No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier."
"kjv","55","2","5","And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully."
"kjv","55","2","6","The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits."
"kjv","55","2","7","Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things."
"kjv","55","2","8","Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:"
"kjv","55","2","9","Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound."
"kjv","55","2","10","Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory."
"kjv","55","2","11","It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:"
"kjv","55","2","12","If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:"
"kjv","55","2","13","If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself."
"kjv","55","2","14","Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers."
"kjv","55","2","15","Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
"kjv","55","2","16","But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."
"kjv","55","2","17","And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;"
"kjv","55","2","18","Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some."
"kjv","55","2","19","Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
"kjv","55","2","20","But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour."
"kjv","55","2","21","If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."
"kjv","55","2","22","Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
"kjv","55","2","23","But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes."
"kjv","55","2","24","And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,"
"kjv","55","2","25","In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;"
"kjv","55","2","26","And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."
"kjv","55","3","1","This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come."
"kjv","55","3","2","For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,"
"kjv","55","3","3","Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"
"kjv","55","3","4","Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;"
"kjv","55","3","5","Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
"kjv","55","3","6","For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,"
"kjv","55","3","7","Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
"kjv","55","3","8","Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith."
"kjv","55","3","9","But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was."
"kjv","55","3","10","But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,"
"kjv","55","3","11","Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me."
"kjv","55","3","12","Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
"kjv","55","3","13","But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived."
"kjv","55","3","14","But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"
"kjv","55","3","15","And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","55","3","16","All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
"kjv","55","3","17","That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
"kjv","55","4","1","I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;"
"kjv","55","4","2","Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."
"kjv","55","4","3","For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
"kjv","55","4","4","And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
"kjv","55","4","5","But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."
"kjv","55","4","6","For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand."
"kjv","55","4","7","I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:"
"kjv","55","4","8","Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."
"kjv","55","4","9","Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:"
"kjv","55","4","10","For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia."
"kjv","55","4","11","Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry."
"kjv","55","4","12","And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus."
"kjv","55","4","13","The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments."
"kjv","55","4","14","Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:"
"kjv","55","4","15","Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words."
"kjv","55","4","16","At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge."
"kjv","55","4","17","Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion."
"kjv","55","4","18","And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","55","4","19","Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus."
"kjv","55","4","20","Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick."
"kjv","55","4","21","Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren."
"kjv","55","4","22","The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen."
"kjv","56","1","1","Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;"
"kjv","56","1","2","In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"
"kjv","56","1","3","But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;"
"kjv","56","1","4","To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour."
"kjv","56","1","5","For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:"
"kjv","56","1","6","If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly."
"kjv","56","1","7","For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;"
"kjv","56","1","8","But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;"
"kjv","56","1","9","Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers."
"kjv","56","1","10","For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:"
"kjv","56","1","11","Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake."
"kjv","56","1","12","One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies."
"kjv","56","1","13","This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;"
"kjv","56","1","14","Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth."
"kjv","56","1","15","Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled."
"kjv","56","1","16","They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate."
"kjv","56","2","1","But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:"
"kjv","56","2","2","That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience."
"kjv","56","2","3","The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;"
"kjv","56","2","4","That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,"
"kjv","56","2","5","To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."
"kjv","56","2","6","Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded."
"kjv","56","2","7","In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,"
"kjv","56","2","8","Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you."
"kjv","56","2","9","Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;"
"kjv","56","2","10","Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things."
"kjv","56","2","11","For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,"
"kjv","56","2","12","Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"
"kjv","56","2","13","Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"
"kjv","56","2","14","Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."
"kjv","56","2","15","These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee."
"kjv","56","3","1","Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,"
"kjv","56","3","2","To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men."
"kjv","56","3","3","For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another."
"kjv","56","3","4","But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,"
"kjv","56","3","5","Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;"
"kjv","56","3","6","Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"
"kjv","56","3","7","That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
"kjv","56","3","8","This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men."
"kjv","56","3","9","But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."
"kjv","56","3","10","A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;"
"kjv","56","3","11","Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself."
"kjv","56","3","12","When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter."
"kjv","56","3","13","Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them."
"kjv","56","3","14","And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful."
"kjv","56","3","15","All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","57","1","1","Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,"
"kjv","57","1","2","And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:"
"kjv","57","1","3","Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","57","1","4","I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,"
"kjv","57","1","5","Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;"
"kjv","57","1","6","That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."
"kjv","57","1","7","For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother."
"kjv","57","1","8","Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,"
"kjv","57","1","9","Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","57","1","10","I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:"
"kjv","57","1","11","Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:"
"kjv","57","1","12","Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:"
"kjv","57","1","13","Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:"
"kjv","57","1","14","But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly."
"kjv","57","1","15","For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;"
"kjv","57","1","16","Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?"
"kjv","57","1","17","If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself."
"kjv","57","1","18","If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;"
"kjv","57","1","19","I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides."
"kjv","57","1","20","Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord."
"kjv","57","1","21","Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say."
"kjv","57","1","22","But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you."
"kjv","57","1","23","There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;"
"kjv","57","1","24","Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers."
"kjv","57","1","25","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."
"kjv","58","1","1","God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,"
"kjv","58","1","2","Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
"kjv","58","1","3","Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"
"kjv","58","1","4","Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
"kjv","58","1","5","For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"
"kjv","58","1","6","And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."
"kjv","58","1","7","And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire."
"kjv","58","1","8","But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."
"kjv","58","1","9","Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."
"kjv","58","1","10","And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:"
"kjv","58","1","11","They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;"
"kjv","58","1","12","And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."
"kjv","58","1","13","But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
"kjv","58","1","14","Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
"kjv","58","2","1","Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
"kjv","58","2","2","For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;"
"kjv","58","2","3","How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;"
"kjv","58","2","4","God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?"
"kjv","58","2","5","For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak."
"kjv","58","2","6","But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
"kjv","58","2","7","Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:"
"kjv","58","2","8","Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him."
"kjv","58","2","9","But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."
"kjv","58","2","10","For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings."
"kjv","58","2","11","For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,"
"kjv","58","2","12","Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee."
"kjv","58","2","13","And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me."
"kjv","58","2","14","Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"
"kjv","58","2","15","And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."
"kjv","58","2","16","For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham."
"kjv","58","2","17","Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people."
"kjv","58","2","18","For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted."
"kjv","58","3","1","Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;"
"kjv","58","3","2","Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house."
"kjv","58","3","3","For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house."
"kjv","58","3","4","For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God."
"kjv","58","3","5","And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;"
"kjv","58","3","6","But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."
"kjv","58","3","7","Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,"
"kjv","58","3","8","Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:"
"kjv","58","3","9","When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years."
"kjv","58","3","10","Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways."
"kjv","58","3","11","So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)"
"kjv","58","3","12","Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God."
"kjv","58","3","13","But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."
"kjv","58","3","14","For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;"
"kjv","58","3","15","While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation."
"kjv","58","3","16","For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses."
"kjv","58","3","17","But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?"
"kjv","58","3","18","And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?"
"kjv","58","3","19","So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief."
"kjv","58","4","1","Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it."
"kjv","58","4","2","For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it."
"kjv","58","4","3","For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world."
"kjv","58","4","4","For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works."
"kjv","58","4","5","And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest."
"kjv","58","4","6","Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:"
"kjv","58","4","7","Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts."
"kjv","58","4","8","For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."
"kjv","58","4","9","There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
"kjv","58","4","10","For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his."
"kjv","58","4","11","Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
"kjv","58","4","12","For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
"kjv","58","4","13","Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
"kjv","58","4","14","Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession."
"kjv","58","4","15","For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
"kjv","58","4","16","Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
"kjv","58","5","1","For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:"
"kjv","58","5","2","Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity."
"kjv","58","5","3","And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins."
"kjv","58","5","4","And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron."
"kjv","58","5","5","So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee."
"kjv","58","5","6","As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."
"kjv","58","5","7","Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;"
"kjv","58","5","8","Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;"
"kjv","58","5","9","And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;"
"kjv","58","5","10","Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec."
"kjv","58","5","11","Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing."
"kjv","58","5","12","For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat."
"kjv","58","5","13","For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe."
"kjv","58","5","14","But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
"kjv","58","6","1","Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,"
"kjv","58","6","2","Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
"kjv","58","6","3","And this will we do, if God permit."
"kjv","58","6","4","For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,"
"kjv","58","6","5","And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,"
"kjv","58","6","6","If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
"kjv","58","6","7","For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:"
"kjv","58","6","8","But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."
"kjv","58","6","9","But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak."
"kjv","58","6","10","For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister."
"kjv","58","6","11","And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:"
"kjv","58","6","12","That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
"kjv","58","6","13","For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,"
"kjv","58","6","14","Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."
"kjv","58","6","15","And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise."
"kjv","58","6","16","For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife."
"kjv","58","6","17","Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:"
"kjv","58","6","18","That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:"
"kjv","58","6","19","Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;"
"kjv","58","6","20","Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."
"kjv","58","7","1","For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;"
"kjv","58","7","2","To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;"
"kjv","58","7","3","Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."
"kjv","58","7","4","Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils."
"kjv","58","7","5","And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:"
"kjv","58","7","6","But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises."
"kjv","58","7","7","And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better."
"kjv","58","7","8","And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."
"kjv","58","7","9","And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham."
"kjv","58","7","10","For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him."
"kjv","58","7","11","If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"
"kjv","58","7","12","For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law."
"kjv","58","7","13","For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar."
"kjv","58","7","14","For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood."
"kjv","58","7","15","And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,"
"kjv","58","7","16","Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life."
"kjv","58","7","17","For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec."
"kjv","58","7","18","For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof."
"kjv","58","7","19","For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God."
"kjv","58","7","20","And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:"
"kjv","58","7","21","(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)"
"kjv","58","7","22","By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament."
"kjv","58","7","23","And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:"
"kjv","58","7","24","But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood."
"kjv","58","7","25","Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
"kjv","58","7","26","For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"
"kjv","58","7","27","Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself."
"kjv","58","7","28","For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore."
"kjv","58","8","1","Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;"
"kjv","58","8","2","A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."
"kjv","58","8","3","For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer."
"kjv","58","8","4","For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:"
"kjv","58","8","5","Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount."
"kjv","58","8","6","But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."
"kjv","58","8","7","For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second."
"kjv","58","8","8","For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:"
"kjv","58","8","9","Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord."
"kjv","58","8","10","For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:"
"kjv","58","8","11","And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest."
"kjv","58","8","12","For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more."
"kjv","58","8","13","In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."
"kjv","58","9","1","Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary."
"kjv","58","9","2","For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary."
"kjv","58","9","3","And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;"
"kjv","58","9","4","Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;"
"kjv","58","9","5","And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly."
"kjv","58","9","6","Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God."
"kjv","58","9","7","But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:"
"kjv","58","9","8","The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"
"kjv","58","9","9","Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;"
"kjv","58","9","10","Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."
"kjv","58","9","11","But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;"
"kjv","58","9","12","Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
"kjv","58","9","13","For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:"
"kjv","58","9","14","How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
"kjv","58","9","15","And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."
"kjv","58","9","16","For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator."
"kjv","58","9","17","For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth."
"kjv","58","9","18","Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood."
"kjv","58","9","19","For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,"
"kjv","58","9","20","Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you."
"kjv","58","9","21","Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry."
"kjv","58","9","22","And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
"kjv","58","9","23","It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
"kjv","58","9","24","For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
"kjv","58","9","25","Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;"
"kjv","58","9","26","For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
"kjv","58","9","27","And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
"kjv","58","9","28","So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."
"kjv","58","10","1","For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect."
"kjv","58","10","2","For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins."
"kjv","58","10","3","But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year."
"kjv","58","10","4","For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins."
"kjv","58","10","5","Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:"
"kjv","58","10","6","In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure."
"kjv","58","10","7","Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."
"kjv","58","10","8","Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;"
"kjv","58","10","9","Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second."
"kjv","58","10","10","By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
"kjv","58","10","11","And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:"
"kjv","58","10","12","But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"
"kjv","58","10","13","From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool."
"kjv","58","10","14","For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
"kjv","58","10","15","Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,"
"kjv","58","10","16","This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;"
"kjv","58","10","17","And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."
"kjv","58","10","18","Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin."
"kjv","58","10","19","Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,"
"kjv","58","10","20","By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;"
"kjv","58","10","21","And having an high priest over the house of God;"
"kjv","58","10","22","Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."
"kjv","58","10","23","Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)"
"kjv","58","10","24","And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:"
"kjv","58","10","25","Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
"kjv","58","10","26","For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"
"kjv","58","10","27","But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."
"kjv","58","10","28","He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:"
"kjv","58","10","29","Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
"kjv","58","10","30","For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people."
"kjv","58","10","31","It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
"kjv","58","10","32","But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;"
"kjv","58","10","33","Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used."
"kjv","58","10","34","For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance."
"kjv","58","10","35","Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward."
"kjv","58","10","36","For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise."
"kjv","58","10","37","For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry."
"kjv","58","10","38","Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
"kjv","58","10","39","But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
"kjv","58","11","1","Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
"kjv","58","11","2","For by it the elders obtained a good report."
"kjv","58","11","3","Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."
"kjv","58","11","4","By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh."
"kjv","58","11","5","By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."
"kjv","58","11","6","But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
"kjv","58","11","7","By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
"kjv","58","11","8","By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went."
"kjv","58","11","9","By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:"
"kjv","58","11","10","For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
"kjv","58","11","11","Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised."
"kjv","58","11","12","Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable."
"kjv","58","11","13","These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
"kjv","58","11","14","For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country."
"kjv","58","11","15","And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned."
"kjv","58","11","16","But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."
"kjv","58","11","17","By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son."
"kjv","58","11","18","Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:"
"kjv","58","11","19","Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure."
"kjv","58","11","20","By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come."
"kjv","58","11","21","By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff."
"kjv","58","11","22","By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones."
"kjv","58","11","23","By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment."
"kjv","58","11","24","By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;"
"kjv","58","11","25","Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;"
"kjv","58","11","26","Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward."
"kjv","58","11","27","By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible."
"kjv","58","11","28","Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them."
"kjv","58","11","29","By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned."
"kjv","58","11","30","By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days."
"kjv","58","11","31","By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace."
"kjv","58","11","32","And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:"
"kjv","58","11","33","Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,"
"kjv","58","11","34","Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens."
"kjv","58","11","35","Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:"
"kjv","58","11","36","And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:"
"kjv","58","11","37","They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;"
"kjv","58","11","38","(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth."
"kjv","58","11","39","And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:"
"kjv","58","11","40","God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect."
"kjv","58","12","1","Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"
"kjv","58","12","2","Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
"kjv","58","12","3","For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."
"kjv","58","12","4","Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin."
"kjv","58","12","5","And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:"
"kjv","58","12","6","For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."
"kjv","58","12","7","If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?"
"kjv","58","12","8","But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons."
"kjv","58","12","9","Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"
"kjv","58","12","10","For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness."
"kjv","58","12","11","Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."
"kjv","58","12","12","Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;"
"kjv","58","12","13","And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed."
"kjv","58","12","14","Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:"
"kjv","58","12","15","Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;"
"kjv","58","12","16","Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright."
"kjv","58","12","17","For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."
"kjv","58","12","18","For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,"
"kjv","58","12","19","And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:"
"kjv","58","12","20","(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:"
"kjv","58","12","21","And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)"
"kjv","58","12","22","But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,"
"kjv","58","12","23","To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"
"kjv","58","12","24","And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel."
"kjv","58","12","25","See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:"
"kjv","58","12","26","Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven."
"kjv","58","12","27","And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."
"kjv","58","12","28","Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:"
"kjv","58","12","29","For our God is a consuming fire."
"kjv","58","13","1","Let brotherly love continue."
"kjv","58","13","2","Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
"kjv","58","13","3","Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."
"kjv","58","13","4","Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
"kjv","58","13","5","Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
"kjv","58","13","6","So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."
"kjv","58","13","7","Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."
"kjv","58","13","8","Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
"kjv","58","13","9","Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein."
"kjv","58","13","10","We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle."
"kjv","58","13","11","For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp."
"kjv","58","13","12","Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate."
"kjv","58","13","13","Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach."
"kjv","58","13","14","For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."
"kjv","58","13","15","By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."
"kjv","58","13","16","But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."
"kjv","58","13","17","Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."
"kjv","58","13","18","Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly."
"kjv","58","13","19","But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner."
"kjv","58","13","20","Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"
"kjv","58","13","21","Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","58","13","22","And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words."
"kjv","58","13","23","Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you."
"kjv","58","13","24","Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you."
"kjv","58","13","25","Grace be with you all. Amen."
"kjv","59","1","1","James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting."
"kjv","59","1","2","My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;"
"kjv","59","1","3","Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience."
"kjv","59","1","4","But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
"kjv","59","1","5","If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
"kjv","59","1","6","But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."
"kjv","59","1","7","For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord."
"kjv","59","1","8","A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."
"kjv","59","1","9","Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:"
"kjv","59","1","10","But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away."
"kjv","59","1","11","For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways."
"kjv","59","1","12","Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him."
"kjv","59","1","13","Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:"
"kjv","59","1","14","But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed."
"kjv","59","1","15","Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
"kjv","59","1","16","Do not err, my beloved brethren."
"kjv","59","1","17","Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."
"kjv","59","1","18","Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."
"kjv","59","1","19","Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:"
"kjv","59","1","20","For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
"kjv","59","1","21","Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls."
"kjv","59","1","22","But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
"kjv","59","1","23","For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:"
"kjv","59","1","24","For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."
"kjv","59","1","25","But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
"kjv","59","1","26","If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."
"kjv","59","1","27","Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
"kjv","59","2","1","My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons."
"kjv","59","2","2","For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;"
"kjv","59","2","3","And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:"
"kjv","59","2","4","Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?"
"kjv","59","2","5","Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?"
"kjv","59","2","6","But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?"
"kjv","59","2","7","Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?"
"kjv","59","2","8","If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:"
"kjv","59","2","9","But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors."
"kjv","59","2","10","For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
"kjv","59","2","11","For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law."
"kjv","59","2","12","So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty."
"kjv","59","2","13","For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment."
"kjv","59","2","14","What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?"
"kjv","59","2","15","If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,"
"kjv","59","2","16","And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?"
"kjv","59","2","17","Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."
"kjv","59","2","18","Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works."
"kjv","59","2","19","Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."
"kjv","59","2","20","But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"
"kjv","59","2","21","Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?"
"kjv","59","2","22","Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?"
"kjv","59","2","23","And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God."
"kjv","59","2","24","Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."
"kjv","59","2","25","Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?"
"kjv","59","2","26","For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
"kjv","59","3","1","My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."
"kjv","59","3","2","For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body."
"kjv","59","3","3","Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body."
"kjv","59","3","4","Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth."
"kjv","59","3","5","Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!"
"kjv","59","3","6","And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell."
"kjv","59","3","7","For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:"
"kjv","59","3","8","But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison."
"kjv","59","3","9","Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God."
"kjv","59","3","10","Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be."
"kjv","59","3","11","Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?"
"kjv","59","3","12","Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh."
"kjv","59","3","13","Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom."
"kjv","59","3","14","But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth."
"kjv","59","3","15","This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish."
"kjv","59","3","16","For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."
"kjv","59","3","17","But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."
"kjv","59","3","18","And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace."
"kjv","59","4","1","From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?"
"kjv","59","4","2","Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not."
"kjv","59","4","3","Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts."
"kjv","59","4","4","Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
"kjv","59","4","5","Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?"
"kjv","59","4","6","But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble."
"kjv","59","4","7","Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
"kjv","59","4","8","Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
"kjv","59","4","9","Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness."
"kjv","59","4","10","Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."
"kjv","59","4","11","Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge."
"kjv","59","4","12","There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?"
"kjv","59","4","13","Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:"
"kjv","59","4","14","Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
"kjv","59","4","15","For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."
"kjv","59","4","16","But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil."
"kjv","59","4","17","Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
"kjv","59","5","1","Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you."
"kjv","59","5","2","Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten."
"kjv","59","5","3","Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days."
"kjv","59","5","4","Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth."
"kjv","59","5","5","Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter."
"kjv","59","5","6","Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you."
"kjv","59","5","7","Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain."
"kjv","59","5","8","Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh."
"kjv","59","5","9","Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door."
"kjv","59","5","10","Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience."
"kjv","59","5","11","Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."
"kjv","59","5","12","But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation."
"kjv","59","5","13","Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms."
"kjv","59","5","14","Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:"
"kjv","59","5","15","And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."
"kjv","59","5","16","Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
"kjv","59","5","17","Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months."
"kjv","59","5","18","And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."
"kjv","59","5","19","Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;"
"kjv","59","5","20","Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."
"kjv","60","1","1","Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,"
"kjv","60","1","2","Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied."
"kjv","60","1","3","Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,"
"kjv","60","1","4","To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,"
"kjv","60","1","5","Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
"kjv","60","1","6","Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:"
"kjv","60","1","7","That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","60","1","8","Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:"
"kjv","60","1","9","Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
"kjv","60","1","10","Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:"
"kjv","60","1","11","Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."
"kjv","60","1","12","Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into."
"kjv","60","1","13","Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"
"kjv","60","1","14","As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:"
"kjv","60","1","15","But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;"
"kjv","60","1","16","Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."
"kjv","60","1","17","And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:"
"kjv","60","1","18","Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;"
"kjv","60","1","19","But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:"
"kjv","60","1","20","Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,"
"kjv","60","1","21","Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God."
"kjv","60","1","22","Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:"
"kjv","60","1","23","Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
"kjv","60","1","24","For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:"
"kjv","60","1","25","But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."
"kjv","60","2","1","Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,"
"kjv","60","2","2","As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:"
"kjv","60","2","3","If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious."
"kjv","60","2","4","To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,"
"kjv","60","2","5","Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."
"kjv","60","2","6","Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded."
"kjv","60","2","7","Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,"
"kjv","60","2","8","And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."
"kjv","60","2","9","But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
"kjv","60","2","10","Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."
"kjv","60","2","11","Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;"
"kjv","60","2","12","Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation."
"kjv","60","2","13","Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;"
"kjv","60","2","14","Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well."
"kjv","60","2","15","For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:"
"kjv","60","2","16","As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God."
"kjv","60","2","17","Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king."
"kjv","60","2","18","Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward."
"kjv","60","2","19","For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully."
"kjv","60","2","20","For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God."
"kjv","60","2","21","For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
"kjv","60","2","22","Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:"
"kjv","60","2","23","Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:"
"kjv","60","2","24","Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
"kjv","60","2","25","For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."
"kjv","60","3","1","Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;"
"kjv","60","3","2","While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear."
"kjv","60","3","3","Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;"
"kjv","60","3","4","But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
"kjv","60","3","5","For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:"
"kjv","60","3","6","Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement."
"kjv","60","3","7","Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered."
"kjv","60","3","8","Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:"
"kjv","60","3","9","Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing."
"kjv","60","3","10","For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:"
"kjv","60","3","11","Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it."
"kjv","60","3","12","For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil."
"kjv","60","3","13","And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?"
"kjv","60","3","14","But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;"
"kjv","60","3","15","But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:"
"kjv","60","3","16","Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ."
"kjv","60","3","17","For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing."
"kjv","60","3","18","For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"
"kjv","60","3","19","By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;"
"kjv","60","3","20","Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water."
"kjv","60","3","21","The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","60","3","22","Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him."
"kjv","60","4","1","Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;"
"kjv","60","4","2","That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God."
"kjv","60","4","3","For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:"
"kjv","60","4","4","Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:"
"kjv","60","4","5","Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead."
"kjv","60","4","6","For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."
"kjv","60","4","7","But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."
"kjv","60","4","8","And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."
"kjv","60","4","9","Use hospitality one to another without grudging."
"kjv","60","4","10","As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
"kjv","60","4","11","If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","60","4","12","Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
"kjv","60","4","13","But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy."
"kjv","60","4","14","If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."
"kjv","60","4","15","But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters."
"kjv","60","4","16","Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf."
"kjv","60","4","17","For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"
"kjv","60","4","18","And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
"kjv","60","4","19","Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator."
"kjv","60","5","1","The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:"
"kjv","60","5","2","Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;"
"kjv","60","5","3","Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock."
"kjv","60","5","4","And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away."
"kjv","60","5","5","Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble."
"kjv","60","5","6","Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:"
"kjv","60","5","7","Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."
"kjv","60","5","8","Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
"kjv","60","5","9","Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."
"kjv","60","5","10","But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."
"kjv","60","5","11","To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","60","5","12","By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand."
"kjv","60","5","13","The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son."
"kjv","60","5","14","Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen."
"kjv","61","1","1","Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:"
"kjv","61","1","2","Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,"
"kjv","61","1","3","According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:"
"kjv","61","1","4","Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
"kjv","61","1","5","And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;"
"kjv","61","1","6","And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;"
"kjv","61","1","7","And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."
"kjv","61","1","8","For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","61","1","9","But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins."
"kjv","61","1","10","Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:"
"kjv","61","1","11","For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
"kjv","61","1","12","Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth."
"kjv","61","1","13","Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;"
"kjv","61","1","14","Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me."
"kjv","61","1","15","Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance."
"kjv","61","1","16","For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
"kjv","61","1","17","For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
"kjv","61","1","18","And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount."
"kjv","61","1","19","We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:"
"kjv","61","1","20","Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."
"kjv","61","1","21","For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
"kjv","61","2","1","But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
"kjv","61","2","2","And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of."
"kjv","61","2","3","And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
"kjv","61","2","4","For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;"
"kjv","61","2","5","And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;"
"kjv","61","2","6","And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;"
"kjv","61","2","7","And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:"
"kjv","61","2","8","(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)"
"kjv","61","2","9","The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:"
"kjv","61","2","10","But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities."
"kjv","61","2","11","Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord."
"kjv","61","2","12","But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;"
"kjv","61","2","13","And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;"
"kjv","61","2","14","Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
"kjv","61","2","15","Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;"
"kjv","61","2","16","But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet."
"kjv","61","2","17","These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever."
"kjv","61","2","18","For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error."
"kjv","61","2","19","While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage."
"kjv","61","2","20","For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning."
"kjv","61","2","21","For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them."
"kjv","61","2","22","But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire."
"kjv","61","3","1","This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:"
"kjv","61","3","2","That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:"
"kjv","61","3","3","Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,"
"kjv","61","3","4","And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
"kjv","61","3","5","For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:"
"kjv","61","3","6","Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:"
"kjv","61","3","7","But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
"kjv","61","3","8","But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
"kjv","61","3","9","The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
"kjv","61","3","10","But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
"kjv","61","3","11","Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,"
"kjv","61","3","12","Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"
"kjv","61","3","13","Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
"kjv","61","3","14","Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."
"kjv","61","3","15","And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;"
"kjv","61","3","16","As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
"kjv","61","3","17","Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness."
"kjv","61","3","18","But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."
"kjv","62","1","1","That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;"
"kjv","62","1","2","(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)"
"kjv","62","1","3","That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."
"kjv","62","1","4","And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full."
"kjv","62","1","5","This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
"kjv","62","1","6","If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:"
"kjv","62","1","7","But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
"kjv","62","1","8","If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
"kjv","62","1","9","If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
"kjv","62","1","10","If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
"kjv","62","2","1","My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
"kjv","62","2","2","And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
"kjv","62","2","3","And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."
"kjv","62","2","4","He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."
"kjv","62","2","5","But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."
"kjv","62","2","6","He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."
"kjv","62","2","7","Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning."
"kjv","62","2","8","Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth."
"kjv","62","2","9","He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now."
"kjv","62","2","10","He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him."
"kjv","62","2","11","But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes."
"kjv","62","2","12","I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake."
"kjv","62","2","13","I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father."
"kjv","62","2","14","I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one."
"kjv","62","2","15","Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
"kjv","62","2","16","For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
"kjv","62","2","17","And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
"kjv","62","2","18","Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."
"kjv","62","2","19","They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."
"kjv","62","2","20","But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things."
"kjv","62","2","21","I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth."
"kjv","62","2","22","Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."
"kjv","62","2","23","Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."
"kjv","62","2","24","Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."
"kjv","62","2","25","And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."
"kjv","62","2","26","These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you."
"kjv","62","2","27","But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."
"kjv","62","2","28","And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming."
"kjv","62","2","29","If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him."
"kjv","62","3","1","Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
"kjv","62","3","2","Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
"kjv","62","3","3","And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."
"kjv","62","3","4","Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."
"kjv","62","3","5","And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin."
"kjv","62","3","6","Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him."
"kjv","62","3","7","Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous."
"kjv","62","3","8","He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
"kjv","62","3","9","Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
"kjv","62","3","10","In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
"kjv","62","3","11","For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another."
"kjv","62","3","12","Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous."
"kjv","62","3","13","Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you."
"kjv","62","3","14","We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death."
"kjv","62","3","15","Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
"kjv","62","3","16","Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."
"kjv","62","3","17","But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"
"kjv","62","3","18","My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth."
"kjv","62","3","19","And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him."
"kjv","62","3","20","For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things."
"kjv","62","3","21","Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God."
"kjv","62","3","22","And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."
"kjv","62","3","23","And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment."
"kjv","62","3","24","And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us."
"kjv","62","4","1","Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
"kjv","62","4","2","Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"
"kjv","62","4","3","And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
"kjv","62","4","4","Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
"kjv","62","4","5","They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them."
"kjv","62","4","6","We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."
"kjv","62","4","7","Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."
"kjv","62","4","8","He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
"kjv","62","4","9","In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."
"kjv","62","4","10","Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
"kjv","62","4","11","Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."
"kjv","62","4","12","No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us."
"kjv","62","4","13","Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit."
"kjv","62","4","14","And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world."
"kjv","62","4","15","Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God."
"kjv","62","4","16","And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."
"kjv","62","4","17","Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."
"kjv","62","4","18","There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."
"kjv","62","4","19","We love him, because he first loved us."
"kjv","62","4","20","If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"
"kjv","62","4","21","And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."
"kjv","62","5","1","Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him."
"kjv","62","5","2","By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments."
"kjv","62","5","3","For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."
"kjv","62","5","4","For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."
"kjv","62","5","5","Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
"kjv","62","5","6","This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."
"kjv","62","5","7","For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."
"kjv","62","5","8","And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
"kjv","62","5","9","If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son."
"kjv","62","5","10","He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son."
"kjv","62","5","11","And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
"kjv","62","5","12","He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life."
"kjv","62","5","13","These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
"kjv","62","5","14","And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:"
"kjv","62","5","15","And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him."
"kjv","62","5","16","If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it."
"kjv","62","5","17","All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death."
"kjv","62","5","18","We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not."
"kjv","62","5","19","And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."
"kjv","62","5","20","And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."
"kjv","62","5","21","Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen."
"kjv","63","1","1","The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;"
"kjv","63","1","2","For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever."
"kjv","63","1","3","Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love."
"kjv","63","1","4","I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father."
"kjv","63","1","5","And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another."
"kjv","63","1","6","And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."
"kjv","63","1","7","For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
"kjv","63","1","8","Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward."
"kjv","63","1","9","Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son."
"kjv","63","1","10","If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:"
"kjv","63","1","11","For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
"kjv","63","1","12","Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full."
"kjv","63","1","13","The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen."
"kjv","64","1","1","The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth."
"kjv","64","1","2","Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
"kjv","64","1","3","For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth."
"kjv","64","1","4","I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."
"kjv","64","1","5","Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;"
"kjv","64","1","6","Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:"
"kjv","64","1","7","Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles."
"kjv","64","1","8","We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth."
"kjv","64","1","9","I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not."
"kjv","64","1","10","Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church."
"kjv","64","1","11","Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."
"kjv","64","1","12","Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true."
"kjv","64","1","13","I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:"
"kjv","64","1","14","But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name."
"kjv","65","1","1","Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:"
"kjv","65","1","2","Mercy unto you, and peace and love, be multiplied."
"kjv","65","1","3","Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."
"kjv","65","1","4","For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."
"kjv","65","1","5","I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not."
"kjv","65","1","6","And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."
"kjv","65","1","7","Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
"kjv","65","1","8","Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities."
"kjv","65","1","9","Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."
"kjv","65","1","10","But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves."
"kjv","65","1","11","Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core."
"kjv","65","1","12","These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
"kjv","65","1","13","Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever."
"kjv","65","1","14","And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,"
"kjv","65","1","15","To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
"kjv","65","1","16","These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."
"kjv","65","1","17","But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;"
"kjv","65","1","18","How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts."
"kjv","65","1","19","These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit."
"kjv","65","1","20","But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,"
"kjv","65","1","21","Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."
"kjv","65","1","22","And of some have compassion, making a difference:"
"kjv","65","1","23","And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."
"kjv","65","1","24","Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,"
"kjv","65","1","25","To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen."
"kjv","66","1","1","The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:"
"kjv","66","1","2","Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."
"kjv","66","1","3","Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."
"kjv","66","1","4","John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;"
"kjv","66","1","5","And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
"kjv","66","1","6","And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","66","1","7","Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
"kjv","66","1","8","I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
"kjv","66","1","9","I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","66","1","10","I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,"
"kjv","66","1","11","Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."
"kjv","66","1","12","And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;"
"kjv","66","1","13","And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle."
"kjv","66","1","14","His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;"
"kjv","66","1","15","And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters."
"kjv","66","1","16","And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."
"kjv","66","1","17","And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:"
"kjv","66","1","18","I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
"kjv","66","1","19","Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;"
"kjv","66","1","20","The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."
"kjv","66","2","1","Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;"
"kjv","66","2","2","I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:"
"kjv","66","2","3","And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted."
"kjv","66","2","4","Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love."
"kjv","66","2","5","Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."
"kjv","66","2","6","But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate."
"kjv","66","2","7","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."
"kjv","66","2","8","And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;"
"kjv","66","2","9","I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
"kjv","66","2","10","Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."
"kjv","66","2","11","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
"kjv","66","2","12","And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;"
"kjv","66","2","13","I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth."
"kjv","66","2","14","But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication."
"kjv","66","2","15","So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate."
"kjv","66","2","16","Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth."
"kjv","66","2","17","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
"kjv","66","2","18","And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;"
"kjv","66","2","19","I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first."
"kjv","66","2","20","Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols."
"kjv","66","2","21","And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not."
"kjv","66","2","22","Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds."
"kjv","66","2","23","And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works."
"kjv","66","2","24","But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden."
"kjv","66","2","25","But that which ye have already hold fast till I come."
"kjv","66","2","26","And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:"
"kjv","66","2","27","And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father."
"kjv","66","2","28","And I will give him the morning star."
"kjv","66","2","29","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
"kjv","66","3","1","And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead."
"kjv","66","3","2","Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God."
"kjv","66","3","3","Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
"kjv","66","3","4","Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy."
"kjv","66","3","5","He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
"kjv","66","3","6","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
"kjv","66","3","7","And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;"
"kjv","66","3","8","I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name."
"kjv","66","3","9","Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
"kjv","66","3","10","Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
"kjv","66","3","11","Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
"kjv","66","3","12","Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name."
"kjv","66","3","13","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
"kjv","66","3","14","And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;"
"kjv","66","3","15","I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot."
"kjv","66","3","16","So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
"kjv","66","3","17","Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"
"kjv","66","3","18","I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see."
"kjv","66","3","19","As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
"kjv","66","3","20","Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
"kjv","66","3","21","To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne."
"kjv","66","3","22","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
"kjv","66","4","1","After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."
"kjv","66","4","2","And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."
"kjv","66","4","3","And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald."
"kjv","66","4","4","And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold."
"kjv","66","4","5","And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."
"kjv","66","4","6","And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind."
"kjv","66","4","7","And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."
"kjv","66","4","8","And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."
"kjv","66","4","9","And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,"
"kjv","66","4","10","The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,"
"kjv","66","4","11","Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
"kjv","66","5","1","And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."
"kjv","66","5","2","And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?"
"kjv","66","5","3","And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon."
"kjv","66","5","4","And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon."
"kjv","66","5","5","And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
"kjv","66","5","6","And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."
"kjv","66","5","7","And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne."
"kjv","66","5","8","And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints."
"kjv","66","5","9","And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;"
"kjv","66","5","10","And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."
"kjv","66","5","11","And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"
"kjv","66","5","12","Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."
"kjv","66","5","13","And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","5","14","And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","6","1","And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see."
"kjv","66","6","2","And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
"kjv","66","6","3","And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see."
"kjv","66","6","4","And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
"kjv","66","6","5","And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand."
"kjv","66","6","6","And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."
"kjv","66","6","7","And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see."
"kjv","66","6","8","And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
"kjv","66","6","9","And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:"
"kjv","66","6","10","And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"
"kjv","66","6","11","And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."
"kjv","66","6","12","And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;"
"kjv","66","6","13","And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind."
"kjv","66","6","14","And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
"kjv","66","6","15","And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;"
"kjv","66","6","16","And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:"
"kjv","66","6","17","For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
"kjv","66","7","1","And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree."
"kjv","66","7","2","And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,"
"kjv","66","7","3","Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."
"kjv","66","7","4","And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
"kjv","66","7","5","Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand."
"kjv","66","7","6","Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand."
"kjv","66","7","7","Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand."
"kjv","66","7","8","Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand."
"kjv","66","7","9","After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;"
"kjv","66","7","10","And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb."
"kjv","66","7","11","And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,"
"kjv","66","7","12","Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen."
"kjv","66","7","13","And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?"
"kjv","66","7","14","And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
"kjv","66","7","15","Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them."
"kjv","66","7","16","They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat."
"kjv","66","7","17","For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
"kjv","66","8","1","And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
"kjv","66","8","2","And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets."
"kjv","66","8","3","And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne."
"kjv","66","8","4","And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand."
"kjv","66","8","5","And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake."
"kjv","66","8","6","And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
"kjv","66","8","7","The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."
"kjv","66","8","8","And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;"
"kjv","66","8","9","And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed."
"kjv","66","8","10","And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;"
"kjv","66","8","11","And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
"kjv","66","8","12","And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise."
"kjv","66","8","13","And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!"
"kjv","66","9","1","And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit."
"kjv","66","9","2","And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit."
"kjv","66","9","3","And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power."
"kjv","66","9","4","And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."
"kjv","66","9","5","And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."
"kjv","66","9","6","And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
"kjv","66","9","7","And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men."
"kjv","66","9","8","And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions."
"kjv","66","9","9","And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle."
"kjv","66","9","10","And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months."
"kjv","66","9","11","And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."
"kjv","66","9","12","One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter."
"kjv","66","9","13","And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,"
"kjv","66","9","14","Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates."
"kjv","66","9","15","And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."
"kjv","66","9","16","And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them."
"kjv","66","9","17","And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone."
"kjv","66","9","18","By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths."
"kjv","66","9","19","For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."
"kjv","66","9","20","And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:"
"kjv","66","9","21","Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."
"kjv","66","10","1","And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:"
"kjv","66","10","2","And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,"
"kjv","66","10","3","And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices."
"kjv","66","10","4","And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not."
"kjv","66","10","5","And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,"
"kjv","66","10","6","And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:"
"kjv","66","10","7","But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets."
"kjv","66","10","8","And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth."
"kjv","66","10","9","And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."
"kjv","66","10","10","And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter."
"kjv","66","10","11","And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."
"kjv","66","11","1","And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein."
"kjv","66","11","2","But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
"kjv","66","11","3","And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth."
"kjv","66","11","4","These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth."
"kjv","66","11","5","And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed."
"kjv","66","11","6","These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will."
"kjv","66","11","7","And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them."
"kjv","66","11","8","And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
"kjv","66","11","9","And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves."
"kjv","66","11","10","And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth."
"kjv","66","11","11","And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them."
"kjv","66","11","12","And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them."
"kjv","66","11","13","And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."
"kjv","66","11","14","The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly."
"kjv","66","11","15","And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","11","16","And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,"
"kjv","66","11","17","Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned."
"kjv","66","11","18","And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
"kjv","66","11","19","And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."
"kjv","66","12","1","And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:"
"kjv","66","12","2","And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered."
"kjv","66","12","3","And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."
"kjv","66","12","4","And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."
"kjv","66","12","5","And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
"kjv","66","12","6","And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."
"kjv","66","12","7","And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,"
"kjv","66","12","8","And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven."
"kjv","66","12","9","And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
"kjv","66","12","10","And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."
"kjv","66","12","11","And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
"kjv","66","12","12","Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."
"kjv","66","12","13","And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child."
"kjv","66","12","14","And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
"kjv","66","12","15","And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood."
"kjv","66","12","16","And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth."
"kjv","66","12","17","And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
"kjv","66","13","1","And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy."
"kjv","66","13","2","And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
"kjv","66","13","3","And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
"kjv","66","13","4","And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"
"kjv","66","13","5","And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."
"kjv","66","13","6","And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven."
"kjv","66","13","7","And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations."
"kjv","66","13","8","And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
"kjv","66","13","9","If any man have an ear, let him hear."
"kjv","66","13","10","He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
"kjv","66","13","11","And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
"kjv","66","13","12","And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."
"kjv","66","13","13","And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"
"kjv","66","13","14","And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."
"kjv","66","13","15","And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
"kjv","66","13","16","And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:"
"kjv","66","13","17","And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
"kjv","66","13","18","Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
"kjv","66","14","1","And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads."
"kjv","66","14","2","And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:"
"kjv","66","14","3","And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth."
"kjv","66","14","4","These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb."
"kjv","66","14","5","And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God."
"kjv","66","14","6","And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,"
"kjv","66","14","7","Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
"kjv","66","14","8","And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
"kjv","66","14","9","And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,"
"kjv","66","14","10","The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
"kjv","66","14","11","And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
"kjv","66","14","12","Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
"kjv","66","14","13","And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
"kjv","66","14","14","And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle."
"kjv","66","14","15","And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
"kjv","66","14","16","And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped."
"kjv","66","14","17","And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle."
"kjv","66","14","18","And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe."
"kjv","66","14","19","And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God."
"kjv","66","14","20","And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs."
"kjv","66","15","1","And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God."
"kjv","66","15","2","And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."
"kjv","66","15","3","And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints."
"kjv","66","15","4","Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."
"kjv","66","15","5","And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:"
"kjv","66","15","6","And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles."
"kjv","66","15","7","And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","15","8","And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled."
"kjv","66","16","1","And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth."
"kjv","66","16","2","And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image."
"kjv","66","16","3","And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea."
"kjv","66","16","4","And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood."
"kjv","66","16","5","And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus."
"kjv","66","16","6","For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy."
"kjv","66","16","7","And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments."
"kjv","66","16","8","And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire."
"kjv","66","16","9","And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory."
"kjv","66","16","10","And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,"
"kjv","66","16","11","And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds."
"kjv","66","16","12","And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."
"kjv","66","16","13","And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet."
"kjv","66","16","14","For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."
"kjv","66","16","15","Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
"kjv","66","16","16","And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
"kjv","66","16","17","And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done."
"kjv","66","16","18","And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great."
"kjv","66","16","19","And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."
"kjv","66","16","20","And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."
"kjv","66","16","21","And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great."
"kjv","66","17","1","And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:"
"kjv","66","17","2","With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
"kjv","66","17","3","So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
"kjv","66","17","4","And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"
"kjv","66","17","5","And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
"kjv","66","17","6","And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
"kjv","66","17","7","And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns."
"kjv","66","17","8","The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."
"kjv","66","17","9","And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."
"kjv","66","17","10","And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space."
"kjv","66","17","11","And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition."
"kjv","66","17","12","And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast."
"kjv","66","17","13","These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast."
"kjv","66","17","14","These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."
"kjv","66","17","15","And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."
"kjv","66","17","16","And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."
"kjv","66","17","17","For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled."
"kjv","66","17","18","And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
"kjv","66","18","1","And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory."
"kjv","66","18","2","And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
"kjv","66","18","3","For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies."
"kjv","66","18","4","And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
"kjv","66","18","5","For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."
"kjv","66","18","6","Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double."
"kjv","66","18","7","How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow."
"kjv","66","18","8","Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
"kjv","66","18","9","And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,"
"kjv","66","18","10","Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."
"kjv","66","18","11","And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:"
"kjv","66","18","12","The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,"
"kjv","66","18","13","And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men."
"kjv","66","18","14","And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all."
"kjv","66","18","15","The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,"
"kjv","66","18","16","And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!"
"kjv","66","18","17","For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,"
"kjv","66","18","18","And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!"
"kjv","66","18","19","And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."
"kjv","66","18","20","Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her."
"kjv","66","18","21","And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."
"kjv","66","18","22","And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;"
"kjv","66","18","23","And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."
"kjv","66","18","24","And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."
"kjv","66","19","1","And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:"
"kjv","66","19","2","For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."
"kjv","66","19","3","And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","19","4","And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia."
"kjv","66","19","5","And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great."
"kjv","66","19","6","And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."
"kjv","66","19","7","Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready."
"kjv","66","19","8","And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."
"kjv","66","19","9","And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."
"kjv","66","19","10","And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
"kjv","66","19","11","And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war."
"kjv","66","19","12","His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself."
"kjv","66","19","13","And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God."
"kjv","66","19","14","And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."
"kjv","66","19","15","And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."
"kjv","66","19","16","And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
"kjv","66","19","17","And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;"
"kjv","66","19","18","That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great."
"kjv","66","19","19","And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army."
"kjv","66","19","20","And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."
"kjv","66","19","21","And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
"kjv","66","20","1","And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand."
"kjv","66","20","2","And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
"kjv","66","20","3","And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season."
"kjv","66","20","4","And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
"kjv","66","20","5","But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."
"kjv","66","20","6","Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
"kjv","66","20","7","And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,"
"kjv","66","20","8","And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."
"kjv","66","20","9","And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."
"kjv","66","20","10","And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","20","11","And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."
"kjv","66","20","12","And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."
"kjv","66","20","13","And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."
"kjv","66","20","14","And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."
"kjv","66","20","15","And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
"kjv","66","21","1","And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."
"kjv","66","21","2","And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
"kjv","66","21","3","And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God."
"kjv","66","21","4","And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
"kjv","66","21","5","And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."
"kjv","66","21","6","And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."
"kjv","66","21","7","He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."
"kjv","66","21","8","But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
"kjv","66","21","9","And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife."
"kjv","66","21","10","And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,"
"kjv","66","21","11","Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;"
"kjv","66","21","12","And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:"
"kjv","66","21","13","On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates."
"kjv","66","21","14","And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."
"kjv","66","21","15","And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof."
"kjv","66","21","16","And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal."
"kjv","66","21","17","And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."
"kjv","66","21","18","And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass."
"kjv","66","21","19","And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;"
"kjv","66","21","20","The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst."
"kjv","66","21","21","And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass."
"kjv","66","21","22","And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it."
"kjv","66","21","23","And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."
"kjv","66","21","24","And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."
"kjv","66","21","25","And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there."
"kjv","66","21","26","And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it."
"kjv","66","21","27","And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
"kjv","66","22","1","And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."
"kjv","66","22","2","In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
"kjv","66","22","3","And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:"
"kjv","66","22","4","And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads."
"kjv","66","22","5","And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."
"kjv","66","22","6","And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."
"kjv","66","22","7","Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."
"kjv","66","22","8","And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things."
"kjv","66","22","9","Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God."
"kjv","66","22","10","And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand."
"kjv","66","22","11","He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
"kjv","66","22","12","And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
"kjv","66","22","13","I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
"kjv","66","22","14","Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
"kjv","66","22","15","For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
"kjv","66","22","16","I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
"kjv","66","22","17","And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
"kjv","66","22","18","For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
"kjv","66","22","19","And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
"kjv","66","22","20","He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
"kjv","66","22","21","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
"asv","1","43","23","And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them."
"asv","1","43","22","And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food: we know not who put our money in our sacks."
"asv","1","43","21","and it came to pass, when we came to the lodging-place, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand."
"asv","1","43","20","and said, Oh, my lord, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:"
"asv","1","43","19","And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spake unto him at the door of the house,"
"asv","1","43","18","And the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses."
"asv","1","43","17","And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men to Joseph’s house."
"asv","1","43","16","And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house, and slay, and make ready; for the men shall dine with me at noon."
"asv","1","43","15","And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph."
"asv","1","43","14","and God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release unto you your other brother and Benjamin. And if I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."
"asv","1","43","13","take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:"
"asv","1","43","12","and take double money in your hand; and the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks carry again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:"
"asv","1","43","11","And their father Israel said unto them, If it be so now, do this: take of the choice fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spicery and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;"
"asv","1","43","10","for except we had lingered, surely we had now returned a second time."
"asv","1","43","9","I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:"
"asv","1","43","8","And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones."
"asv","1","43","6","And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?"
"asv","1","43","7","And they said, The man asked straitly concerning ourselves, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye  another  brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we in any wise know that he would say, Bring your brother down?"
"asv","1","43","4","If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:"
"asv","1","43","5","but if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down; for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you."
"asv","1","43","2","And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food."
"asv","1","43","3","And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you."
"asv","1","43","1","And the famine was sore in the land."
"asv","1","42","38","And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left: if harm befall him by the way in which ye go, then will ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol."
"asv","1","42","37","And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again."
"asv","1","42","36","And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me."
"asv","1","42","35","And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid."
"asv","1","42","34","and bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land."
"asv","1","42","33","And the man, the lord of the land, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men: leave one of your brethren with me, and take  grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way;"
"asv","1","42","32","we are twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan."
"asv","1","42","31","And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:"
"asv","1","42","30","The man, the lord of the land, spake roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country."
"asv","1","42","29","And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that had befallen them, saying,"
"asv","1","42","28","And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, What is this that God hath done unto us?"
"asv","1","42","26","And they laded their asses with their grain, and departed thence."
"asv","1","42","27","And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the lodging-place, he espied his money; and, behold, it was in the mouth of his sack."
"asv","1","42","25","Then Joseph commanded to fill their vessels with grain, and to restore every man’s money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus was it done unto them."
"asv","1","42","24","And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and he returned to them, and spake to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes."
"asv","1","42","22","And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore also, behold, his blood is required."
"asv","1","42","23","And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them."
"asv","1","42","21","And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us."
"asv","1","42","20","and bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so."
"asv","1","42","19","if ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in your prison-house; but go ye, carry grain for the famine of your houses:"
"asv","1","42","18","And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:"
"asv","1","42","17","And he put them all together into ward three days."
"asv","1","42","16","Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be bound, that your words may be proved, whether there be truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies."
"asv","1","42","14","And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:"
"asv","1","42","15","hereby ye shall be proved: by the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither."
"asv","1","42","13","And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not."
"asv","1","42","11","We are all one man’s sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies."
"asv","1","42","12","And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come."
"asv","1","42","10","And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come."
"asv","1","42","8","And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him."
"asv","1","42","9","And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come."
"asv","1","42","7","And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly with them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food."
"asv","1","42","6","And Joseph was the governor over the land; he it was that sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brethren came, and bowed down themselves to him with their faces to the earth."
"asv","1","42","5","And the sons of Israel came to buy among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan."
"asv","1","42","3","And Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy grain from Egypt."
"asv","1","42","4","But Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest Peradventure harm befall him."
"asv","1","42","2","And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die."
"asv","1","42","1","Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?"
"asv","1","41","56","And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the store-houses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine was sore in the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","57","And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was sore in all the earth."
"asv","1","41","55","And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do."
"asv","1","41","54","And the seven years of famine began to come, according as Joseph had said: and there was famine in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread."
"asv","1","41","52","And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."
"asv","1","41","53","And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, came to an end."
"asv","1","41","51","And Joseph called the name of the first-born Manasseh: For,  said he, God hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house."
"asv","1","41","50","And unto Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bare unto him."
"asv","1","41","49","And Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left off numbering; for it was without number."
"asv","1","41","47","And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls."
"asv","1","41","48","And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same."
"asv","1","41","46","And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","45","And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","44","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","43","and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","42","And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;"
"asv","1","41","41","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","40","thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou."
"asv","1","41","38","And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?"
"asv","1","41","39","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou:"
"asv","1","41","37","And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants."
"asv","1","41","36","And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine."
"asv","1","41","35","And let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it."
"asv","1","41","34","Let Pharaoh do  this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years."
"asv","1","41","33","Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","41","32","And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass."
"asv","1","41","31","and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine which followeth; for it shall be very grievous."
"asv","1","41","30","and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;"
"asv","1","41","29","Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:"
"asv","1","41","28","That is the thing which I spake unto Pharaoh: what God is about to do he hath showed unto Pharaoh."
"asv","1","41","27","And the seven lean and ill-favored kine that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind; they shall be seven years of famine."
"asv","1","41","26","The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one."
"asv","1","41","25","And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: what God is about to do he hath declared unto Pharaoh."
"asv","1","41","24","and the thin ears swallowed up the seven good ears: and I told it unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me."
"asv","1","41","23","and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin,  and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:"
"asv","1","41","22","And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up upon one stalk, full and good:"
"asv","1","41","21","and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill-favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke."
"asv","1","41","20","and the lean and ill-favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:"
"asv","1","41","19","and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill-favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:"
"asv","1","41","18","and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fat-fleshed and well-favored; and they fed in the reed-grass:"
"asv","1","41","17","And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the brink of the river:"
"asv","1","41","16","And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."
"asv","1","41","15","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that when thou hearest a dream thou canst interpret it."
"asv","1","41","14","Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh."
"asv","1","41","13","And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged."
"asv","1","41","12","And there was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret."
"asv","1","41","11","and we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream."
"asv","1","41","10","Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker:"
"asv","1","41","9","Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:"
"asv","1","41","8","And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh."
"asv","1","41","6","And, behold, seven ears, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them."
"asv","1","41","7","And the thin ears swallowed up the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream."
"asv","1","41","5","And he slept and dreamed a second time: and, behold, seven ears of grain came up upon one stalk, rank and good."
"asv","1","41","3","And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river."
"asv","1","41","4","And the ill-favored and lean-fleshed kine did eat up the seven well-favored and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke."
"asv","1","41","2","And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, well-favored and fat-fleshed; and they fed in the reed-grass."
"asv","1","41","1","And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river."
"asv","1","40","23","Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him."
"asv","1","40","21","And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand:"
"asv","1","40","22","but he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them."
"asv","1","40","20","And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and the head of the chief baker among his servants."
"asv","1","40","19","within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee."
"asv","1","40","18","And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: the three baskets are three days;"
"asv","1","40","17","and in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of baked food for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head."
"asv","1","40","16","When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head:"
"asv","1","40","15","for indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."
"asv","1","40","14","But have me in thy remembrance when it shall be well with thee, and show kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:"
"asv","1","40","13","within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head, and restore thee unto thine office: and thou shalt give Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler."
"asv","1","40","12","And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days;"
"asv","1","40","11","and Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand."
"asv","1","40","10","and in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and its blossoms shot forth;  and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:"
"asv","1","40","9","And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;"
"asv","1","40","8","And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell it me, I pray you."
"asv","1","40","7","And he asked Pharaoh’s officers that were with him in ward in his master’s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sad to-day?"
"asv","1","40","6","And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and saw them, and, behold, they were sad."
"asv","1","40","5","And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison."
"asv","1","40","4","And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he ministered unto them: and they continued a season in ward."
"asv","1","40","2","And Pharaoh was wroth against his two officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers."
"asv","1","40","3","And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound."
"asv","1","40","1","And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord the king of Egypt."
"asv","1","39","23","The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper."
"asv","1","39","22","And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it."
"asv","1","39","21","But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison."
"asv","1","39","20","And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison."
"asv","1","39","18","and it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled out."
"asv","1","39","19","And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled."
"asv","1","39","16","And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home."
"asv","1","39","17","And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:"
"asv","1","39","15","and it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and fled, and got him out."
"asv","1","39","13","And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,"
"asv","1","39","14","that she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in a Hebrew unto us to mock us: he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:"
"asv","1","39","12","And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out."
"asv","1","39","11","And it came to pass about this time, that he went into the house to do his work; and there was none of the men of the house there within."
"asv","1","39","10","And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her,  or to be with her."
"asv","1","39","9","he is not greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"
"asv","1","39","8","But he refused, and said unto his master’s wife, Behold, my master knoweth not what is with me in the house, and he hath put all that he hath into my hand:"
"asv","1","39","7","And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me."
"asv","1","39","6","And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and he knew not aught that was with him, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was comely, and well-favored."
"asv","1","39","4","And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand."
"asv","1","39","5","And it came to pass from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had, in the house and in the field."
"asv","1","39","3","And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand."
"asv","1","39","2","And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian."
"asv","1","38","30","And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zerah."
"asv","1","39","1","And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hand of the Ishmaelites, that had brought him down thither."
"asv","1","38","29","And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, Wherefore hast thou made a breach for thyself? Therefore his name was called Perez."
"asv","1","38","28","And it came to pass, when she travailed, that one put out a hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first."
"asv","1","38","27","And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb."
"asv","1","38","26","And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She is more righteous than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more."
"asv","1","38","25","When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and the cords, and the staff."
"asv","1","38","24","And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and moreover, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."
"asv","1","38","23","And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her."
"asv","1","38","22","And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no prostitute here."
"asv","1","38","21","Then he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There hath been no prostitute here."
"asv","1","38","20","And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not."
"asv","1","38","19","And she arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood."
"asv","1","38","18","And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet and thy cord, and thy staff that is in thy hand. And he gave them to her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him."
"asv","1","38","17","And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?"
"asv","1","38","16","And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee: for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?"
"asv","1","38","15","When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she had covered her face."
"asv","1","38","13","And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnah to shear his sheep."
"asv","1","38","14","And she put off from her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she was not given unto him to wife."
"asv","1","38","12","And in process of time Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite."
"asv","1","38","11","Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown up; for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house."
"asv","1","38","10","And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and he slew him also."
"asv","1","38","9","And Onan knew that the seed would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother."
"asv","1","38","8","And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother."
"asv","1","38","7","And Er, Judah’s first-born, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah slew him."
"asv","1","38","6","And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar."
"asv","1","38","5","And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him."
"asv","1","38","4","And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan."
"asv","1","38","3","And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er."
"asv","1","38","2","And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in unto her."
"asv","1","38","1","And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah."
"asv","1","37","36","And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard."
"asv","1","37","35","And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him."
"asv","1","37","34","And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days."
"asv","1","37","33","And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat: an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces."
"asv","1","37","32","and they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: know now whether it is thy son’s coat or not."
"asv","1","37","31","And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;"
"asv","1","37","30","And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?"
"asv","1","37","29","And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes."
"asv","1","37","28","And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt."
"asv","1","37","27","Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened unto him."
"asv","1","37","26","And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood?"
"asv","1","37","24","and they took him, and cast him into the pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it."
"asv","1","37","25","And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt."
"asv","1","37","23","And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;"
"asv","1","37","22","And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him: that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father."
"asv","1","37","21","And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life."
"asv","1","37","19","And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh."
"asv","1","37","20","Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, An evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams."
"asv","1","37","18","And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him."
"asv","1","37","17","And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan."
"asv","1","37","16","And he said, I am seeking my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they are feeding  the flock."
"asv","1","37","15","And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?"
"asv","1","37","14","And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem."
"asv","1","37","13","And Israel said unto Joseph, Are not thy brethren feeding the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I."
"asv","1","37","12","And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem."
"asv","1","37","11","And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind."
"asv","1","37","10","And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?"
"asv","1","37","9","And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me."
"asv","1","37","8","And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words."
"asv","1","37","6","And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:"
"asv","1","37","7","for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf."
"asv","1","37","5","And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more."
"asv","1","37","4","And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him."
"asv","1","37","3","Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors."
"asv","1","37","1","And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan."
"asv","1","37","2","These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father."
"asv","1","36","43","chief Magdiel, chief Iram: these are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites."

"asv","1","35","15","And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el."
"asv","1","35","14","And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spake with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon."
"asv","1","35","13","And God went up from him in the place where he spake with him."
"asv","1","35","12","and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land."
"asv","1","35","11","And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;"
"asv","1","35","10","And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel."
"asv","1","35","9","And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him."
"asv","1","35","8","And Deborah Rebekah’s nurse died, and she was buried below Beth-el under the oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth."
"asv","1","35","7","And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el; because there God was revealed unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother."
"asv","1","35","6","So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same is Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him."
"asv","1","35","5","And they journeyed: and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob."
"asv","1","35","4","And they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem."
"asv","1","35","3","and let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."
"asv","1","35","2","Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments:"
"asv","1","35","1","And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother."
"asv","1","34","31","And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?"
"asv","1","34","30","And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house."
"asv","1","34","29","and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, took they captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house."
"asv","1","34","28","They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;"
"asv","1","34","27","The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister."
"asv","1","34","26","And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went forth."
"asv","1","34","25","And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males."
"asv","1","34","24","And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city."
"asv","1","34","23","Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us."
"asv","1","34","22","Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised."
"asv","1","34","21","These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for, behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters."
"asv","1","34","20","And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,"
"asv","1","34","19","And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was honored above all the house of his father."
"asv","1","34","18","And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son."
"asv","1","34","17","But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone."
"asv","1","34","16","then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people."
"asv","1","34","15","Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;"
"asv","1","34","13","And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with guile, and spake, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,"
"asv","1","34","14","and said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us."
"asv","1","34","12","Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife."
"asv","1","34","11","And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give."
"asv","1","34","10","And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein."
"asv","1","34","9","And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you."
"asv","1","34","8","And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you, give her unto him to wife."
"asv","1","34","6","And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him."
"asv","1","34","7","And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done."
"asv","1","34","4","And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife."
"asv","1","34","5","Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came."
"asv","1","34","3","And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel."
"asv","1","34","1","And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land."
"asv","1","34","2","And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her."
"asv","1","33","20","And he erected there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel."
"asv","1","33","19","And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money."
"asv","1","33","17","And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth."
"asv","1","33","18","And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city."
"asv","1","33","16","So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir."
"asv","1","33","15","And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find favor in the sight of my lord."
"asv","1","33","14","Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir."
"asv","1","33","13","And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die."
"asv","1","33","12","And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee."
"asv","1","33","11","Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it."
"asv","1","33","10","And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me."
"asv","1","33","9","And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let that which thou hast be thine."
"asv","1","33","8","And he said, What meanest thou by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord."
"asv","1","33","7","And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves."
"asv","1","33","6","Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves."
"asv","1","33","5","And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God hath graciously given thy servant."
"asv","1","33","4","And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept."
"asv","1","33","3","And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother."
"asv","1","33","2","And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost."
"asv","1","33","1","And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids."
"asv","1","32","31","And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh."
"asv","1","32","32","Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip."
"asv","1","32","30","And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for,  said he, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
"asv","1","32","29","And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there."
"asv","1","32","28","And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed."
"asv","1","32","27","And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob."
"asv","1","32","26","And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me."
"asv","1","32","25","And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him."
"asv","1","32","24","And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day."
"asv","1","32","23","And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had."
"asv","1","32","21","So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company."
"asv","1","32","22","And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok."
"asv","1","32","20","and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept me."
"asv","1","32","19","And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him;"
"asv","1","32","18","then thou shalt say,  They are thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us."
"asv","1","32","17","And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?"
"asv","1","32","16","And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove."
"asv","1","32","14","two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,"
"asv","1","32","15","thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals."
"asv","1","32","13","And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:"
"asv","1","32","12","And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude."
"asv","1","32","11","Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children."
"asv","1","32","10","I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies."
"asv","1","32","9","And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good:"
"asv","1","32","8","and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape."
"asv","1","32","7","Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;"
"asv","1","32","6","And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him."
"asv","1","32","5","and I have oxen, and asses,  and flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight."
"asv","1","32","3","And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom."
"asv","1","32","4","And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now:"
"asv","1","32","1","And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him."
"asv","1","32","2","And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim."
"asv","1","31","55","And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place."
"asv","1","31","54","And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain."
"asv","1","31","53","The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the Fear of his father Isaac."
"asv","1","31","52","This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm."
"asv","1","31","51","And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set betwixt me and thee."
"asv","1","31","50","If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee."
"asv","1","31","49","and Mizpah, for he said, Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another."
"asv","1","31","48","And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed:"
"asv","1","31","47","And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha: but Jacob called it Galeed."
"asv","1","31","46","And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they did eat there by the heap."
"asv","1","31","44","And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee."
"asv","1","31","45","And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar."
"asv","1","31","43","And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children whom they have borne?"
"asv","1","31","42","Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight."
"asv","1","31","40","Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes."
"asv","1","31","41","These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock: and thou hast changed my wages ten times."
"asv","1","31","39","That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night."
"asv","1","31","38","These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten."
"asv","1","31","37","Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two."
"asv","1","31","36","And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?"
"asv","1","31","35","And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the teraphim."
"asv","1","31","34","Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not."
"asv","1","31","33","And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, and into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah’s tent, and entered into Rachel’s tent."
"asv","1","31","32","With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them."
"asv","1","31","31","And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force."
"asv","1","31","30","And now,  though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house,  yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?"
"asv","1","31","29","It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad."
"asv","1","31","28","and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly."
"asv","1","31","26","And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?"
"asv","1","31","27","Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;"
"asv","1","31","25","And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brethren encamped in the mountain of Gilead."
"asv","1","31","24","And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad."
"asv","1","31","23","And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days’ journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead."
"asv","1","31","22","And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled."
"asv","1","31","21","So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead."
"asv","1","31","20","And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled."
"asv","1","31","19","Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father’s."
"asv","1","31","18","and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan."
"asv","1","31","17","Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;"
"asv","1","31","16","For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children’s: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do."
"asv","1","31","15","Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our money."
"asv","1","31","14","And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?"
"asv","1","31","13","I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity."
"asv","1","31","11","And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here am I."
"asv","1","31","12","And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see: all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee."
"asv","1","31","9","Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me."
"asv","1","31","10","And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled."
"asv","1","31","8","If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages; then bare all the flock ringstreaked."
"asv","1","31","7","And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me."
"asv","1","31","6","And ye know that with all my power I have served your father."
"asv","1","31","5","and said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me."
"asv","1","31","4","And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,"
"asv","1","31","3","And Jehovah said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee."
"asv","1","31","2","And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime."
"asv","1","31","1","And he heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father’s; and of that which was our father’s hath he gotten all this glory."
"asv","1","30","43","And the man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, and maid-servants and men-servants, and camels and asses."
"asv","1","30","42","but when the flock were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s."
"asv","1","30","41","And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger of the flock did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;"
"asv","1","30","40","And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and put them not unto Laban’s flock."
"asv","1","30","39","And the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted."
"asv","1","30","38","And he set the rods which he had peeled over against the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink; and they conceived when they came to drink."
"asv","1","30","36","and he set three days’ journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks."
"asv","1","30","37","And Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods."
"asv","1","30","35","And he removed that day the he-goats that were ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons;"
"asv","1","30","34","And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word."
"asv","1","30","33","So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that,  if found  with me, shall be counted stolen."
"asv","1","30","32","I will pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and  of such shall be my hire."
"asv","1","30","31","And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me aught: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed thy flock and keep it."
"asv","1","30","30","For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it hath increased unto a multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee whithersoever I turned: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?"
"asv","1","30","28","And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it."
"asv","1","30","29","And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle have fared with me."
"asv","1","30","27","And Laban said unto him, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry:  for I have divined that Jehovah hath blessed me for thy sake."
"asv","1","30","26","Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service wherewith I have served thee."
"asv","1","30","24","and she called his name Joseph, saying, Jehovah add to me another son."
"asv","1","30","25","And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country."
"asv","1","30","22","And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb."
"asv","1","30","23","And she conceived, and bare a son: and said, God hath taken away my reproach:"
"asv","1","30","21","And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah."
"asv","1","30","19","And Leah conceived again, and bare a sixth son to Jacob."
"asv","1","30","20","And Leah said, God hath endowed me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun."
"asv","1","30","18","And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband: and she called his name Issachar."
"asv","1","30","17","And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob a fifth son."
"asv","1","30","16","And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for I have surely hired thee with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night."
"asv","1","30","15","And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken away my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy son’s mandrakes."
"asv","1","30","14","And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son’s mandrakes."
"asv","1","30","12","And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a second son."
"asv","1","30","13","And Leah said, Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: and she called his name Asher."
"asv","1","30","11","And Leah said, Fortunate! and she called his name Gad."
"asv","1","30","10","And Zilpah Leah’s handmaid bare Jacob a son."
"asv","1","30","9","When Leah saw that she had left off bearing, she took Zilpah her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife."
"asv","1","30","7","And Bilhah Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son."
"asv","1","30","8","And Rachel said, With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali."
"asv","1","30","5","And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son."
"asv","1","30","6","And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan."
"asv","1","30","3","And she said, Behold, my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; that she may bear upon my knees, and I also may obtain children by her."
"asv","1","30","4","And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her."
"asv","1","30","2","And Jacob’s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?"
"asv","1","30","1","And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and she said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die."
"asv","1","29","35","And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, This time will I praise Jehovah: therefore she called his name Judah; and she left off bearing."
"asv","1","29","34","And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have borne him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi."
"asv","1","29","33","And she conceived again, and bare a son: and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I am hated, he hath therefore given me this  son also: and she called his name Simeon."
"asv","1","29","32","And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Because Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me."
"asv","1","29","31","And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren."
"asv","1","29","29","And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her handmaid."
"asv","1","29","30","And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years."
"asv","1","29","28","And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife."
"asv","1","29","27","Fulfil the week of this one, and we will give thee the other also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years."
"asv","1","29","26","And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the first-born."
"asv","1","29","25","And it came to pass in the morning that, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?"
"asv","1","29","24","And Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid."
"asv","1","29","23","And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her."
"asv","1","29","21","And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her."
"asv","1","29","22","And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast."
"asv","1","29","20","And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her."
"asv","1","29","19","And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me."
"asv","1","29","18","And Jacob loved Rachel; and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter."
"asv","1","29","16","And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel."
"asv","1","29","17","And Leah’s eyes were tender; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored."
"asv","1","29","15","And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?"
"asv","1","29","14","And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month."
"asv","1","29","13","And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things."
"asv","1","29","11","And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept."
"asv","1","29","12","And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father."
"asv","1","29","10","And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother."
"asv","1","29","9","While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep; for she kept them."
"asv","1","29","8","And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep."
"asv","1","29","7","And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them."
"asv","1","29","5","And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him."
"asv","1","29","6","And he said unto them, Is it well with him? And they said, It is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep."
"asv","1","29","4","And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence are ye? And they said, Of Haran are we."
"asv","1","29","3","And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in its place."
"asv","1","29","2","And he looked, and, behold, a well in the field, and, lo, three flocks of sheep lying there by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and the stone upon the well’s mouth was great."
"asv","1","29","1","Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east."
"asv","1","28","21","so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and Jehovah will be my God,"
"asv","1","28","22","then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee."
"asv","1","28","20","And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,"
"asv","1","28","19","And he called the name of that place Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first."
"asv","1","28","18","And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it."
"asv","1","28","17","And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."
"asv","1","28","16","And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place; and I knew it not."
"asv","1","28","15","And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of."
"asv","1","28","14","and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
"asv","1","28","13","And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;"
"asv","1","28","12","And he dreamed; and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it."
"asv","1","28","10","And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran."
"asv","1","28","11","And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep."
"asv","1","28","9","and Esau went unto Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife."
"asv","1","28","8","and Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;"
"asv","1","28","7","and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan-aram:"
"asv","1","28","6","Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;"
"asv","1","28","5","And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Paddan-aram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother."
"asv","1","28","4","and give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land of thy sojournings, which God gave unto Abraham."
"asv","1","28","3","And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a company of peoples;"
"asv","1","28","2","Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother."
"asv","1","28","1","And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan."
"asv","1","27","46","And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?"
"asv","1","27","45","until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"
"asv","1","27","44","and tarry with him a few days, until thy brother’s fury turn away;"
"asv","1","27","43","Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;"
"asv","1","27","42","And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah.; and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself,  purposing to kill thee."
"asv","1","27","41","And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob."
"asv","1","27","40","And by thy sword shalt thou live, and thou shalt serve thy brother;And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt break loose,That thou shalt shake his yoke from off thy neck."
"asv","1","27","39","And Isaac his father answered and said unto him,Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling,And of the dew of heaven from above;"
"asv","1","27","38","And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept."
"asv","1","27","37","And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with grain and new wine have I sustained him: and what then shall I do for thee, my son?"
"asv","1","27","36","And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?"
"asv","1","27","35","And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and hath taken away thy blessing."
"asv","1","27","34","When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father."
"asv","1","27","33","And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who then is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea,  and he shall be blessed."
"asv","1","27","32","And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy first-born, Esau."
"asv","1","27","31","And he also made savory food, and brought it unto his father; and he said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son’s venison, that thy soul may bless me."
"asv","1","27","30","And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting."
"asv","1","27","29","Let peoples serve thee,And nations bow down to thee.Be lord over thy brethren,And let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee:Cursed be every one that curseth thee,And blessed be every one that blesseth thee:"
"asv","1","27","28","And God give thee of the dew of heaven,And of the fatness of the earth,And plenty of grain and new wine:"
"asv","1","27","27","And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said,See, the smell of my sonIs as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed:"
"asv","1","27","26","And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son."
"asv","1","27","25","And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank."
"asv","1","27","24","And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am."
"asv","1","27","23","And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him."
"asv","1","27","22","And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."
"asv","1","27","21","And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not."
"asv","1","27","20","And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God sent me good speed."
"asv","1","27","19","And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first-born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me."
"asv","1","27","18","And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?"
"asv","1","27","16","and she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:"
"asv","1","27","17","and she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob."
"asv","1","27","14","And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved."
"asv","1","27","15","And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son;"
"asv","1","27","13","And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch me them."
"asv","1","27","12","My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing."
"asv","1","27","10","and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death."
"asv","1","27","11","And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man."
"asv","1","27","9","Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth:"
"asv","1","27","8","Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee."
"asv","1","27","6","And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,"
"asv","1","27","7","Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death."
"asv","1","27","5","And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it."
"asv","1","27","4","and make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die."
"asv","1","27","3","Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison;"
"asv","1","27","2","And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death."
"asv","1","27","1","And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Here am I."
"asv","1","26","34","And when Esau was forty years old he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:"
"asv","1","26","35","and they were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah."
"asv","1","26","33","And he called it Shibah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day."
"asv","1","26","32","And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water."
"asv","1","26","30","And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink."
"asv","1","26","31","And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace."
"asv","1","26","29","that thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of Jehovah."
"asv","1","26","28","And they said, We saw plainly that Jehovah was with thee: and we said, Let there now be an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee,"
"asv","1","26","27","And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?"
"asv","1","26","26","Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host."
"asv","1","26","25","And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of Jehovah, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well."
"asv","1","26","24","And Jehovah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake."
"asv","1","26","23","And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba."
"asv","1","26","22","And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now Jehovah hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
"asv","1","26","21","And they digged another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah."
"asv","1","26","20","And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him."
"asv","1","26","19","And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water."
"asv","1","26","18","And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them."
"asv","1","26","17","And Isaac departed thence, and encamped in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there."
"asv","1","26","16","And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we."
"asv","1","26","15","Now all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth."
"asv","1","26","14","and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him."
"asv","1","26","13","And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great:"
"asv","1","26","12","And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year a hundredfold: and Jehovah blessed him."
"asv","1","26","11","And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."
"asv","1","26","10","And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might easily have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought guiltiness upon us."
"asv","1","26","9","And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die because of her."
"asv","1","26","8","And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife."
"asv","1","26","6","And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:"
"asv","1","26","7","and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: For he feared to say, My wife; lest,  said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon."
"asv","1","26","5","because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."
"asv","1","26","4","and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;"
"asv","1","26","3","sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;"
"asv","1","26","2","And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:"
"asv","1","26","1","And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar."
"asv","1","25","34","And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright."
"asv","1","25","33","And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob."
"asv","1","25","31","And Jacob said, Sell me first thy birthright."
"asv","1","25","32","And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me?"
"asv","1","25","30","and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom."
"asv","1","25","28","Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob."
"asv","1","25","29","And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:"
"asv","1","25","27","And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents."
"asv","1","25","26","And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them."
"asv","1","25","25","And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau."
"asv","1","25","24","And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb."
"asv","1","25","23","And Jehovah said unto her,Two nations are in thy womb,And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels:And the one people shall be stronger than the other people;And the elder shall serve the younger."
"asv","1","25","22","And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah."
"asv","1","25","21","And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived."
"asv","1","25","20","and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife."
"asv","1","25","19","And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:"
"asv","1","25","18","And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode over against all his brethren."
"asv","1","25","17","And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people."
"asv","1","25","15","Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah."
"asv","1","25","16","These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations."
"asv","1","25","14","and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,"
"asv","1","25","13","and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,"
"asv","1","25","12","Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:"
"asv","1","25","11","And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son: and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi."
"asv","1","25","10","the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife."
"asv","1","25","9","And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;"
"asv","1","25","8","And Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full  of years, and was gathered to his people."
"asv","1","25","7","And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years."
"asv","1","25","6","But unto the sons of the concubines, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country."
"asv","1","25","5","And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac."
"asv","1","25","4","And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah."
"asv","1","25","3","And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim."
"asv","1","25","2","And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah."
"asv","1","25","1","And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah."
"asv","1","24","66","And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done."
"asv","1","24","67","And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death."
"asv","1","24","65","And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master: and she took her veil, and covered herself."
"asv","1","24","64","And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel."
"asv","1","24","62","And Isaac came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi; for he dwelt in the land of the South."
"asv","1","24","63","And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming."
"asv","1","24","61","And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way."
"asv","1","24","60","And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them."
"asv","1","24","59","And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men."
"asv","1","24","58","And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go."
"asv","1","24","57","And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth."
"asv","1","24","56","And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master."
"asv","1","24","55","And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go."
"asv","1","24","54","And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master."
"asv","1","24","53","And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things."
"asv","1","24","52","And it came to pass, that, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto Jehovah."
"asv","1","24","51","Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master’s son’s wife, as Jehovah hath spoken."
"asv","1","24","50","Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Jehovah: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good."
"asv","1","24","49","And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."
"asv","1","24","48","And I bowed my head, and worshipped Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter for his son."
"asv","1","24","47","And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the ring upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands."
"asv","1","24","46","And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also."
"asv","1","24","45","And before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain, and drew: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee."
"asv","1","24","44","and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my master’s son."
"asv","1","24","43","behold, I am standing by the fountain of water; and let it come to pass, that the maiden that cometh forth to draw, to whom I shall say, Give me, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher to drink;"
"asv","1","24","42","And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:"
"asv","1","24","41","then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give her not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath."
"asv","1","24","40","And he said unto me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house:"
"asv","1","24","39","And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me."
"asv","1","24","38","but thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son."
"asv","1","24","37","And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:"
"asv","1","24","36","And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath."
"asv","1","24","35","And Jehovah hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and men-servants and maid-servants, and camels and asses."
"asv","1","24","34","And he said, I am Abraham’s servant."
"asv","1","24","33","And there was set food before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on."
"asv","1","24","32","And the man came into the house, and he ungirded the camels; and he gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men that were with him."
"asv","1","24","31","And he said, Come in, thou blessed of Jehovah; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."
"asv","1","24","30","And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he was standing by the camels at the fountain."
"asv","1","24","29","And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the fountain."
"asv","1","24","28","And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words."
"asv","1","24","27","And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, who hath not forsaken his lovingkindness and his truth toward my master: as for me, Jehovah hath led me in the way to the house of my master’s brethren."
"asv","1","24","26","And the man bowed his head, and worshipped Jehovah."
"asv","1","24","25","She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."
"asv","1","24","24","And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bare unto Nahor."
"asv","1","24","23","and said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me, I pray thee. Is there room in thy father’s house for us to lodge in?"
"asv","1","24","22","And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,"
"asv","1","24","21","And the man looked stedfastly on her, holding his peace, to know whether Jehovah had made his journey prosperous or not."
"asv","1","24","20","And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels."
"asv","1","24","18","And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink."
"asv","1","24","19","And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking."
"asv","1","24","17","And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher."
"asv","1","24","16","And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up."
"asv","1","24","15","And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder."
"asv","1","24","14","and let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: ret the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast showed kindness unto my master."
"asv","1","24","13","Behold, I am standing by the fountain of water; and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water:"
"asv","1","24","12","And he said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, send me, I pray thee, good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham."
"asv","1","24","11","And he made the camels to kneel down without the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water."
"asv","1","24","9","And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning this matter."
"asv","1","24","10","And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his master, and departed, having all goodly things of his master’s in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor."
"asv","1","24","8","And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath; only thou shalt not bring my son thither again."
"asv","1","24","6","And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again."
"asv","1","24","7","Jehovah, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and who spake unto me, and who sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife for my son from thence."
"asv","1","24","4","but thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac."
"asv","1","24","5","And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?"
"asv","1","24","3","and I will make thee swear by Jehovah, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou wilt not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:"
"asv","1","24","1","And Abraham was old,  and well stricken in age: and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things."
"asv","1","24","2","And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:"
"asv","1","23","20","And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a burying-place by the children of Heth."
"asv","1","23","18","unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city."
"asv","1","23","19","And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan."
"asv","1","23","17","So the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the border thereof round about, were made sure"
"asv","1","23","16","And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver which he had named in the audience of the children of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current  money with the merchant."
"asv","1","23","15","My lord, hearken unto me: a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead."
"asv","1","23","14","And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,"
"asv","1","23","13","And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt, I pray thee, hear me: I will give the price of the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there."
"asv","1","23","12","And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land."
"asv","1","23","11","Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the children of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead."
"asv","1","23","10","Now Ephron was sitting in the midst of the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,"
"asv","1","23","9","that he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in the midst of you for a possession of a burying-place."
"asv","1","23","7","And Abraham rose up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth."
"asv","1","23","8","And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,"
"asv","1","23","6","Hear us, my lord; thou art a prince of God among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead."
"asv","1","23","5","And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,"
"asv","1","23","4","I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."
"asv","1","23","3","And Abraham rose up from before his dead, and spake unto the children of Heth, saying,"
"asv","1","23","2","And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her."
"asv","1","23","1","And the life of Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years: these were the years of the life of Sarah."
"asv","1","22","24","And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she also bare Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah."
"asv","1","22","23","And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother."
"asv","1","22","21","Uz his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,"
"asv","1","22","22","and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
"asv","1","22","20","And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she also hath borne children unto thy brother Nahor:"
"asv","1","22","19","So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba."
"asv","1","22","18","and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice."
"asv","1","22","17","that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;"
"asv","1","22","16","and said, By myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son,"
"asv","1","22","15","And the angel of Jehovah called unto Abraham a second time out of heaven,"
"asv","1","22","14","And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of Jehovah it shall be provided."
"asv","1","22","13","And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt-offering in the stead of his son."
"asv","1","22","12","And he said, Lay not thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him; for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me."
"asv","1","22","11","And the angel of Jehovah called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I."
"asv","1","22","10","And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son."
"asv","1","22","9","And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood."
"asv","1","22","8","And Abraham said, God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son: so they went both of them together."
"asv","1","22","7","And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt-offering?"
"asv","1","22","6","And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife; and they went both of them together."
"asv","1","22","4","On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off."
"asv","1","22","5","And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad will go yonder; and we will worship, and come again to you."
"asv","1","22","3","And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he clave the wood for the burnt-offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him."
"asv","1","22","2","And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest, even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."
"asv","1","22","1","And it came to pass after these things, that God did prove Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham; and he said, Here am I."
"asv","1","21","34","And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days."
"asv","1","21","33","And  Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and called there on the name of Jehovah, the Everlasting God."
"asv","1","21","32","So they made a covenant at Beer-sheba: and Abimelech rose up, and Phicol the captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines."
"asv","1","21","31","Wherefore he called that place Beer-sheba; because there they sware both of them."
"asv","1","21","30","And he said, These seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that it may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well."
"asv","1","21","29","And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?"
"asv","1","21","28","And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves."
"asv","1","21","27","And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and they two made a covenant."
"asv","1","21","26","And Abimelech said, I know not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to-day."
"asv","1","21","25","And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of the well of water, which Abimelech’s servants had violently taken away."
"asv","1","21","24","And Abraham said, I will swear."
"asv","1","21","23","now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son’s son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned."
"asv","1","21","22","And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol the captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:"
"asv","1","21","21","And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","21","20","And God was with the lad, and he grew; and he dwelt in the wilderness, and became, as he grew up, an archer."
"asv","1","21","19","And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."
"asv","1","21","18","Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thy hand; for I will make him a great nation."
"asv","1","21","17","And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is."
"asv","1","21","16","And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not look upon the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lifted up her voice, and wept."
"asv","1","21","15","And the water in the bottle was spent, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs."
"asv","1","21","13","And also of the son of the handmaid will I make a nation, because he is thy seed."
"asv","1","21","14","And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and  gave her  the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba."
"asv","1","21","12","And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy handmaid; in all that Sarah saith unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called."
"asv","1","21","11","And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son."
"asv","1","21","9","And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne unto Abraham, mocking."
"asv","1","21","10","Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this handmaid and her son: for the son of this handmaid shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac."
"asv","1","21","8","And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned."
"asv","1","21","7","And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should give children suck? for I have borne him a son in his old age."
"asv","1","21","6","And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh; every one that heareth will laugh with me."
"asv","1","21","4","And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him."
"asv","1","21","5","And Abraham was a hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him."
"asv","1","21","3","And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac."
"asv","1","21","2","And Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him."
"asv","1","21","1","And Jehovah visited Sarah as he had said, and Jehovah did unto Sarah as he had spoken."
"asv","1","20","18","For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife."
"asv","1","20","17","And Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children."
"asv","1","20","16","And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted."
"asv","1","20","15","And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee."
"asv","1","20","14","And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife."
"asv","1","20","13","and it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother."
"asv","1","20","12","And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:"
"asv","1","20","10","And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?"
"asv","1","20","11","And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake."
"asv","1","20","8","And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid."
"asv","1","20","9","Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and wherein have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done."
"asv","1","20","7","Now therefore restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine."
"asv","1","20","5","Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this."
"asv","1","20","6","And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her."
"asv","1","20","4","Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation?"
"asv","1","20","3","But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, because of the woman whom thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife."
"asv","1","20","2","And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah."
"asv","1","20","1","And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar."
"asv","1","19","38","And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Ben-ammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day."
"asv","1","19","37","And the first-born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day."
"asv","1","19","36","Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father."
"asv","1","19","35","And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose."
"asv","1","19","33","And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose."
"asv","1","19","34","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father."
"asv","1","19","32","come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father."
"asv","1","19","31","And the first-born said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:"
"asv","1","19","30","And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters."
"asv","1","19","29","And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt."
"asv","1","19","28","and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace."
"asv","1","19","27","And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah:"
"asv","1","19","26","But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."
"asv","1","19","25","and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."
"asv","1","19","23","The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came unto Zoar."
"asv","1","19","24","Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven;"
"asv","1","19","21","And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which thou hast spoken."
"asv","1","19","22","Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar."
"asv","1","19","20","behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape thither (is it not a little one?), and my soul shall live."
"asv","1","19","18","And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my lord:"
"asv","1","19","19","behold now, thy servant hath found favor in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy lovingkindness, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die:"
"asv","1","19","17","And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed."
"asv","1","19","16","But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city."
"asv","1","19","15","And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters that are here, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city."
"asv","1","19","14","And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons-in-law, who married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for Jehovah will destroy the city. But he seemed unto his sons-in-law as one that mocked."
"asv","1","19","13","for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before Jehovah; and Jehovah hath sent us to destroy it."
"asv","1","19","12","And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whomsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of the place:"
"asv","1","19","10","But the men put forth their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door."
"asv","1","19","11","And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door."
"asv","1","19","9","And they said, Stand back. And they said, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and drew near to break the door."
"asv","1","19","8","Behold now, I have two daughters that have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing, forasmuch as they are come under the shadow of my roof."
"asv","1","19","6","And Lot went out unto them to the door, and shut the door after him."
"asv","1","19","7","And he said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly."
"asv","1","19","5","and they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them."
"asv","1","19","4","But before they lay down, the men of the city,  even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;"
"asv","1","19","3","And he urged them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat."
"asv","1","19","2","and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night."
"asv","1","19","1","And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth;"
"asv","1","18","33","And Jehovah went his way, as soon as he had left off communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place."
"asv","1","18","32","And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake."
"asv","1","18","31","And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake."
"asv","1","18","30","And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there."
"asv","1","18","29","And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for the forty’s sake."
"asv","1","18","28","peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five."
"asv","1","18","27","And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes:"
"asv","1","18","26","And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."
"asv","1","18","25","That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
"asv","1","18","24","Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?"
"asv","1","18","22","And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before Jehovah."
"asv","1","18","23","And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked?"
"asv","1","18","21","I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know."
"asv","1","18","20","And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;"
"asv","1","18","19","For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him."
"asv","1","18","17","And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do;"
"asv","1","18","18","seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?"
"asv","1","18","16","And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way."
"asv","1","18","15","Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh."
"asv","1","18","14","Is anything too hard for Jehovah? At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son."
"asv","1","18","13","And Jehovah said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old?"
"asv","1","18","12","And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
"asv","1","18","11","Now Abraham and Sarah were old,  and well stricken in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women."
"asv","1","18","10","And he said, I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him."
"asv","1","18","9","And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent."
"asv","1","18","8","And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat."
"asv","1","18","7","And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto the servant; and he hasted to dress it."
"asv","1","18","6","And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."
"asv","1","18","5","and I will fetch a morsel of bread, and strengthen ye your heart; after that ye shall pass on: forasmuch as ye are come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said."
"asv","1","18","4","let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:"
"asv","1","18","3","and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:"
"asv","1","18","2","and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood over against him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,"
"asv","1","18","1","And Jehovah appeared unto him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;"
"asv","1","17","27","And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him."
"asv","1","17","26","In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son."
"asv","1","17","24","And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
"asv","1","17","25","And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin."
"asv","1","17","23","And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him."
"asv","1","17","22","And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham."
"asv","1","17","21","But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year."
"asv","1","17","20","And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."
"asv","1","17","18","And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!"
"asv","1","17","19","And God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him."
"asv","1","17","17","Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?"
"asv","1","17","15","And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be."
"asv","1","17","16","And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be  a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her."
"asv","1","17","14","And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant."
"asv","1","17","13","He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant."
"asv","1","17","12","And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner that is not of thy seed."
"asv","1","17","10","This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised."
"asv","1","17","11","And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt me and you."
"asv","1","17","9","And God said unto Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations."
"asv","1","17","8","And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."
"asv","1","17","7","And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee."
"asv","1","17","6","And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee."
"asv","1","17","4","As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations."
"asv","1","17","5","Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee."
"asv","1","17","3","And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,"
"asv","1","17","2","And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly."
"asv","1","16","16","And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram."
"asv","1","17","1","And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be thou perfect."
"asv","1","16","15","And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bare, Ishmael."
"asv","1","16","14","Wherefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered."
"asv","1","16","13","And she called the name of Jehovah that spake unto her, Thou art a God that seeth: for she said, Have I even here looked after him that seeth me?"
"asv","1","16","12","And he shall be  as a wild ass among men; his hand  shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren."
"asv","1","16","11","And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son; and thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction."
"asv","1","16","10","And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude."
"asv","1","16","9","And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands."
"asv","1","16","8","And he said, Hagar, Sarai’s handmaid, whence camest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai."
"asv","1","16","7","And the angel of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur."
"asv","1","16","6","But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai dealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face."
"asv","1","16","5","And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into they bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Jehovah judge between me and thee."
"asv","1","16","4","And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes."
"asv","1","16","3","And Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to be his wife."
"asv","1","16","2","And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Jehovah hath restrained me from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai."
"asv","1","16","1","Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bare him no children: and she had a handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar."
"asv","1","15","20","and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,"
"asv","1","15","21","and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite."
"asv","1","15","19","the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,"
"asv","1","15","18","In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"
"asv","1","15","16","And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."
"asv","1","15","17","And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces."
"asv","1","15","15","But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age."
"asv","1","15","14","and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."
"asv","1","15","13","And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;"
"asv","1","15","12","And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him."
"asv","1","15","11","And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away."
"asv","1","15","10","And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not."
"asv","1","15","9","And he said unto him, Take me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon."
"asv","1","15","8","And he said, O Lord Jehovah, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?"
"asv","1","15","7","And he said unto him, I am Jehovah that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it."
"asv","1","15","6","And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness."
"asv","1","15","5","And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."
"asv","1","15","3","And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir."
"asv","1","15","4","And, behold, the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir."
"asv","1","15","2","And Abram said, O Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"
"asv","1","15","1","After these things the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield,  and thy exceeding great reward."
"asv","1","14","24","save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion."
"asv","1","14","23","that I will not take a thread nor a shoe-latchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:"
"asv","1","14","22","And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lifted up my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,"
"asv","1","14","21","And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself."
"asv","1","14","20","and blessed be God Most High, who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him a tenth of all."
"asv","1","14","18","And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High."
"asv","1","14","19","And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:"
"asv","1","14","17","And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, at the vale of Shaveh (the same is the King’s Vale)."
"asv","1","14","16","And he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people."
"asv","1","14","15","And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus."
"asv","1","14","14","And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan."
"asv","1","14","13","And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew: now he dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were confederate with Abram."
"asv","1","14","12","And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed."
"asv","1","14","11","And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way."
"asv","1","14","10","Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain."
"asv","1","14","9","against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five."
"asv","1","14","8","And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar); and they set the battle in array against them in the vale of Siddim;"
"asv","1","14","7","And they returned, and came to En-mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazazon-tamar."
"asv","1","14","6","and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness."
"asv","1","14","4","Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled."
"asv","1","14","5","And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,"
"asv","1","14","3","All these joined together in the vale of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea)."
"asv","1","14","2","that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar)."
"asv","1","14","1","And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,"
"asv","1","13","18","And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Jehovah."
"asv","1","13","17","Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it."
"asv","1","13","16","And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered."
"asv","1","13","15","for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."
"asv","1","13","14","And Jehovah said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward:"
"asv","1","13","13","Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly."
"asv","1","13","12","Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom."
"asv","1","13","11","So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other."
"asv","1","13","10","And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest unto Zoar."
"asv","1","13","9","Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if  thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if  thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left."
"asv","1","13","8","And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren."
"asv","1","13","7","And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land."
"asv","1","13","6","And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together."
"asv","1","13","5","And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents."
"asv","1","13","3","And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai,"
"asv","1","13","4","unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of Jehovah."
"asv","1","13","2","And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."
"asv","1","13","1","And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South."
"asv","1","12","20","And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had."
"asv","1","12","19","why saidst thou, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way."
"asv","1","12","18","And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?"
"asv","1","12","17","And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife."
"asv","1","12","16","And he dealt well with Abram for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels."
"asv","1","12","15","And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house."
"asv","1","12","14","And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair."
"asv","1","12","13","Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee."
"asv","1","12","12","and it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive."
"asv","1","12","10","And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land."
"asv","1","12","11","And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:"
"asv","1","12","9","And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South."
"asv","1","12","8","And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah."
"asv","1","12","7","And Jehovah appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him."
"asv","1","12","6","And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land."
"asv","1","12","5","And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came."
"asv","1","12","4","So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."
"asv","1","12","3","and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
"asv","1","12","2","and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing:"
"asv","1","12","1","Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will show thee:"
"asv","1","11","32","And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran."
"asv","1","11","31","And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there."
"asv","1","11","30","And Sarai was barren; She had no child."
"asv","1","11","29","And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah."
"asv","1","11","28","And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees."
"asv","1","11","27","Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot."
"asv","1","11","26","And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran."
"asv","1","11","25","and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","23","and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","24","And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:"
"asv","1","11","22","And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:"
"asv","1","11","21","and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","20","And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:"
"asv","1","11","18","And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:"
"asv","1","11","19","and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","17","and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","16","And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:"
"asv","1","11","15","and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","14","And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:"
"asv","1","11","12","And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begat Shelah:"
"asv","1","11","13","and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","11","and Shem lived after he begat Arpachshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","11","10","These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arpachshad two years after the flood:"
"asv","1","11","8","So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city."
"asv","1","11","9","Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."
"asv","1","11","7","Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech."
"asv","1","11","6","And Jehovah said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do."
"asv","1","11","5","And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded."
"asv","1","11","4","And they said, Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
"asv","1","11","3","And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar."
"asv","1","11","1","And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech."
"asv","1","11","2","And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there."
"asv","1","10","32","These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood."
"asv","1","10","31","These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations."
"asv","1","10","30","And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest toward Sephar, the mountain of the east."
"asv","1","10","29","and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan."
"asv","1","10","27","and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,"
"asv","1","10","28","and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,"
"asv","1","10","26","And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,"
"asv","1","10","24","And Arpachshad begat Shelah; and Shelah begat Eber."
"asv","1","10","25","And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan."
"asv","1","10","23","And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash."
"asv","1","10","22","The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram."
"asv","1","10","21","And unto Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born."
"asv","1","10","20","These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, in their nations."
"asv","1","10","19","And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon, as thou goest toward Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, unto Lasha."
"asv","1","10","17","and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,"
"asv","1","10","18","and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanite spread abroad."
"asv","1","10","15","And Canaan begat Sidon his first-born, and Heth,"
"asv","1","10","16","and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,"
"asv","1","10","14","and Pathrusim, and Casluhim (whence went forth the Philistines), and Caphtorim."
"asv","1","10","12","and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city)."
"asv","1","10","13","And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,"
"asv","1","10","11","Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,"
"asv","1","10","10","And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."
"asv","1","10","8","And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth."
"asv","1","10","9","He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah."
"asv","1","10","6","And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan."
"asv","1","10","7","And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan."
"asv","1","10","5","Of these were the isles of the nations divided in their lands, every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."
"asv","1","10","4","And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim."
"asv","1","10","3","And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah."
"asv","1","10","1","Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah,  namely, of Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood."
"asv","1","10","2","The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras."
"asv","1","9","29","And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died."
"asv","1","9","28","And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years."
"asv","1","9","27","God enlarge Japheth,And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;And let Canaan be his servant."
"asv","1","9","25","And he said,Cursed be Canaan;A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren."
"asv","1","9","26","And he said,Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem;And let Canaan be his servant."
"asv","1","9","24","And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him."
"asv","1","9","23","And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness."
"asv","1","9","21","and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent."
"asv","1","9","22","And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without."
"asv","1","9","20","And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:"
"asv","1","9","18","And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan."
"asv","1","9","19","These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread."
"asv","1","9","17","And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth."
"asv","1","9","16","And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."
"asv","1","9","15","and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh."
"asv","1","9","13","I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth."
"asv","1","9","14","And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,"
"asv","1","9","12","And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:"
"asv","1","9","11","And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of the flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth."
"asv","1","9","9","And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;"
"asv","1","9","10","and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth."
"asv","1","9","8","And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,"
"asv","1","9","7","And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein."
"asv","1","9","6","Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."
"asv","1","9","5","And surely your blood,  the blood of your lives, will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man’s brother, will I require the life of man."
"asv","1","9","4","But flesh with the life thereof,  which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat."
"asv","1","9","3","Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all."
"asv","1","9","2","And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teemeth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered."
"asv","1","9","1","And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."
"asv","1","8","22","While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
"asv","1","8","21","And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for that the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done."
"asv","1","8","20","And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar."
"asv","1","8","19","every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark."
"asv","1","8","18","And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:"
"asv","1","8","17","Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth."
"asv","1","8","16","Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee."
"asv","1","8","14","And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry."
"asv","1","8","15","And God spake unto Noah, saying,"
"asv","1","8","13","And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried."
"asv","1","8","12","And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more."
"asv","1","8","11","and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth."
"asv","1","8","10","And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;"
"asv","1","8","9","but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark."
"asv","1","8","8","And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;"
"asv","1","8","7","and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth."
"asv","1","8","6","And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:"
"asv","1","8","5","And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen."
"asv","1","8","4","And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."
"asv","1","8","3","and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased."
"asv","1","8","2","the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;"
"asv","1","8","1","And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;"
"asv","1","7","24","And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days."
"asv","1","7","23","And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark."
"asv","1","7","22","all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died."
"asv","1","7","20","Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered."
"asv","1","7","21","And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:"
"asv","1","7","19","And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered."
"asv","1","7","18","And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters."
"asv","1","7","17","And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth."
"asv","1","7","16","And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in."
"asv","1","7","15","And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life."
"asv","1","7","14","they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort."
"asv","1","7","13","In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;"
"asv","1","7","12","And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights."
"asv","1","7","11","In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."
"asv","1","7","10","And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth."
"asv","1","7","9","there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah."
"asv","1","7","8","Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground,"
"asv","1","7","6","And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth."
"asv","1","7","7","And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood."
"asv","1","7","5","And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him."
"asv","1","7","3","of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth."
"asv","1","7","4","For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground."
"asv","1","7","2","Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female:"
"asv","1","7","1","And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation."
"asv","1","6","22","Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."
"asv","1","6","21","And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them."
"asv","1","6","20","Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive."
"asv","1","6","19","And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."
"asv","1","6","18","But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee."
"asv","1","6","17","And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die."
"asv","1","6","16","A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it."
"asv","1","6","15","And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits."
"asv","1","6","14","Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch."
"asv","1","6","13","And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth."
"asv","1","6","11","And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."
"asv","1","6","12","And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth."
"asv","1","6","10","And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
"asv","1","6","9","These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man,  and  perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God."
"asv","1","6","8","But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah."
"asv","1","6","7","And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them."
"asv","1","6","6","And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."
"asv","1","6","5","And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
"asv","1","6","4","The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown."
"asv","1","6","3","And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years."
"asv","1","6","2","that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose."
"asv","1","6","1","And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them,"
"asv","1","5","32","And Noah was five hundred years old: And Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
"asv","1","5","31","And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died."
"asv","1","5","30","And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"asv","1","5","28","And Lamech lived a hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:"
"asv","1","5","29","and he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands,  which cometh because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed."
"asv","1","5","27","And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died."
"asv","1","5","26","and Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:"

"asv","1","5","25","And Methuselah lived a hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:"
"asv","1","5","22","and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:"

"asv","1","5","7","and Seth lived after he begat Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:"
"asv","1","5","6","And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begat Enosh:"
"asv","1","5","4","and the days of Adam after he begat Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."
"asv","1","5","5","And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."
"asv","1","5","2","male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
"asv","1","5","3","And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat  a son  in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:"
"asv","1","5","1","This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;"
"asv","1","4","25","And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For,  said she, God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel; for Cain slew him."
"asv","1","4","26","And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enosh. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah."
"asv","1","4","24","If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,Truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold."
"asv","1","4","23","And Lamech said unto his wives:Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;Ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech:For I have slain a man for wounding me,And a young man for bruising me:"
"asv","1","4","21","And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe."
"asv","1","4","22","And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah."
"asv","1","4","20","And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle."
"asv","1","4","18","And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael; and Mehujael begat Methushael; and Methushael begat Lamech."
"asv","1","4","19","And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah."
"asv","1","4","17","And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch."
"asv","1","4","16","And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden."
"asv","1","4","15","And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should smite him."
"asv","1","4","14","Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the ground; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth; and it will come to pass, that whosoever findeth me will slay me."
"asv","1","4","13","And Cain said unto Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear."
"asv","1","4","11","And now cursed art thou from the ground, which hath opened its mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;"
"asv","1","4","12","when thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee its strength; a fugitive and a wanderer shalt thou be in the earth."
"asv","1","4","10","And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground."
"asv","1","4","9","And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother’s keeper?"
"asv","1","4","8","And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."
"asv","1","4","6","And Jehovah said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?"
"asv","1","4","7","If thou doest well, shall it not be lifted up? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door: and unto thee shall be its desire; but do thou rule over it."
"asv","1","4","5","but unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell."
"asv","1","4","3","And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","1","4","4","And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to his offering:"
"asv","1","4","2","And again she bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."
"asv","1","4","1","And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man with  the help of Jehovah."
"asv","1","3","24","So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
"asv","1","3","23","therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken."
"asv","1","3","22","And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever—"
"asv","1","3","21","And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them."
"asv","1","3","20","And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."
"asv","1","3","19","in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
"asv","1","3","18","thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;"
"asv","1","3","17","And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;"
"asv","1","3","16","Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
"asv","1","3","15","and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
"asv","1","3","14","And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:"
"asv","1","3","12","And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."
"asv","1","3","13","And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
"asv","1","3","11","And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?"
"asv","1","3","9","And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?"
"asv","1","3","10","And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
"asv","1","3","8","And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden."
"asv","1","3","7","And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons."
"asv","1","3","6","And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat."
"asv","1","3","4","And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"
"asv","1","3","5","for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil."
"asv","1","3","3","but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."
"asv","1","3","2","And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:"
"asv","1","2","25","And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."
"asv","1","3","1","Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?"
"asv","1","2","24","Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
"asv","1","2","23","And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
"asv","1","2","22","and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man."
"asv","1","2","21","And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:"
"asv","1","2","20","And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him."
"asv","1","2","19","And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof."
"asv","1","2","18","And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him."
"asv","1","2","17","but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
"asv","1","2","15","And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it."
"asv","1","2","16","And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:"
"asv","1","2","14","And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates."
"asv","1","2","13","And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush."
"asv","1","2","12","and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone."
"asv","1","2","11","The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;"
"asv","1","2","10","And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads."
"asv","1","2","9","And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
"asv","1","2","8","And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed."
"asv","1","2","7","And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
"asv","1","2","6","but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."
"asv","1","2","5","And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;"
"asv","1","2","4","These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven."
"asv","1","2","3","And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made."
"asv","1","2","2","And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made."
"asv","1","2","1","And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them."
"asv","1","1","31","And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day."
"asv","1","1","30","and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life,  I have given every green herb for food: and it was so."
"asv","1","1","29","And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:"
"asv","1","1","28","And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
"asv","1","1","27","And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
"asv","1","1","26","And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
"asv","1","1","25","And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good."
"asv","1","1","23","And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day."
"asv","1","1","24","And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so."
"asv","1","1","22","And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."
"asv","1","1","21","And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good."
"asv","1","1","20","And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven."
"asv","1","1","19","And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day."
"asv","1","1","18","and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good."
"asv","1","1","17","And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,"
"asv","1","1","15","and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so."
"asv","1","1","16","And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night:  he made the stars also."
"asv","1","1","13","And there was evening and there was morning, a third day."
"asv","1","1","14","And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:"
"asv","1","1","12","And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good."
"asv","1","1","11","And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so."
"asv","1","1","10","And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."
"asv","1","1","9","And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so."
"asv","1","1","8","And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day."
"asv","1","1","7","And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so."
"asv","1","1","6","And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."
"asv","1","1","5","And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day."
"asv","1","1","3","And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
"asv","1","1","4","And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
"asv","1","1","1","In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
"asv","1","1","2","And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
"asv","1","43","24","And the man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender."
"asv","1","43","25","And they made ready the present against Joseph’s coming at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there."
"asv","1","43","26","And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down themselves to him to the earth."
"asv","1","43","27","And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?"
"asv","1","43","28","And they said, Thy servant our father is well, he is yet alive. And they bowed the head, and made obeisance."
"asv","1","43","29","And he lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin his brother, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son."
"asv","1","43","30","And Joseph made haste; for his heart yearned over his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there."
"asv","1","43","31","And he washed his face, and came out; and he refrained himself, and said, Set on bread."
"asv","1","43","32","And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, that did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians."
"asv","1","43","33","And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one with another."
"asv","1","43","34","And he took  and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him."
"asv","1","44","1","And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth."
"asv","1","44","2","And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his grain money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken."
"asv","1","44","3","As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses."
"asv","1","44","4"," And when they were gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?"
"asv","1","44","5","Is not this that in which my lord drinketh, and whereby he indeed divineth? ye have done evil in so doing."
"asv","1","44","6","And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these words."
"asv","1","44","7","And they said unto him, Wherefore speaketh my lord such words as these? Far be it from thy servants that they should do such a thing."
"asv","1","44","8","Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?"
"asv","1","44","9","With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen."
"asv","1","44","10","And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my bondman; and ye shall be blameless."
"asv","1","44","11","Then they hasted, and took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack."
"asv","1","44","12","And he searched,  and began at the eldest, and left off at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack."
"asv","1","44","13","Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city."
"asv","1","44","14","And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; and he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground."
"asv","1","44","15","And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? know ye not that such a man as I can indeed divine?"
"asv","1","44","16","And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s bondmen, both we, and he also in whose hand the cup is found."
"asv","1","44","17","And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so: the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my bondman; but as for you, get you up in peace unto your father."
"asv","1","44","18","Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh."
"asv","1","44","19","My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?"
"asv","1","44","20","And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loveth him."
"asv","1","44","21","And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him."
"asv","1","44","22","And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die."
"asv","1","44","23","And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more."
"asv","1","44","24","And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord."
"asv","1","44","25","And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food."
"asv","1","44","26","And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us."
"asv","1","44","27","And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:"
"asv","1","44","28","and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since:"
"asv","1","44","29","and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol."
"asv","1","44","30","Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;"
"asv","1","44","31","it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not  with us, that he will die: and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol."
"asv","1","44","32","For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever."
"asv","1","44","33","Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren."
"asv","1","44","34","For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father."
"asv","1","45","1","Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren."
"asv","1","45","2","And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard."
"asv","1","45","3","And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence."
"asv","1","45","4","And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt."
"asv","1","45","5","And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."
"asv","1","45","6","For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest."
"asv","1","45","7","And God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance."
"asv","1","45","8","So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt."
"asv","1","45","9","Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not;"
"asv","1","45","10","and thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:"
"asv","1","45","11","and there will I nourish thee; for there are yet five years of famine; lest thou come to poverty, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast."
"asv","1","45","12","And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you."
"asv","1","45","13","And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen: and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither."
"asv","1","45","14","And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck."
"asv","1","45","15","And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him."
"asv","1","45","16","And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants."
"asv","1","45","17","And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;"
"asv","1","45","18","and take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land."
"asv","1","45","19","Now thou art commanded, this do ye: take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come."
"asv","1","45","20","Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours."
"asv","1","45","21","And the sons of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way."
"asv","1","45","22","To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment."
"asv","1","45","23","And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way."
"asv","1","45","24","So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way."
"asv","1","45","25","And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father."
"asv","1","45","26","And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he believed them not."
"asv","1","45","27","And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:"
"asv","1","45","28","and Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die."
"asv","1","46","1","And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac."
"asv","1","46","2","And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I."
"asv","1","46","3","And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:"
"asv","1","46","4","I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes."
"asv","1","46","5","And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him."
"asv","1","46","6","And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:"
"asv","1","46","7","his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt."
"asv","1","46","8","And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s first-born."
"asv","1","46","9","And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, and Pallu, and Hezron, and Carmi."
"asv","1","46","10","And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman."
"asv","1","46","11","And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari."
"asv","1","46","12","And the sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul."
"asv","1","46","13","And the sons of Issachar: Tola, and Puvah, and Iob, and Shimron."
"asv","1","46","14","And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel."
"asv","1","46","15","These are the sons of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob in Paddan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three."
"asv","1","46","16","And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli."
"asv","1","46","17","And the sons of Asher: Imnah, and Ishvah, and Ishvi, and Beriah, and Serah their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber, and Malchiel."
"asv","1","46","18","These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls."
"asv","1","46","19","The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin."
"asv","1","46","20","And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On, bare unto him."
"asv","1","46","21","And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard."
"asv","1","46","22","These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen."
"asv","1","46","23","And the sons of Dan: Hushim."
"asv","1","46","24","And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem."
"asv","1","46","25","These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob: all the souls were seven."
"asv","1","46","26","All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, that came out of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were threescore and six;"
"asv","1","46","27","and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, that came into Egypt, were threescore and ten."
"asv","1","46","28","And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to show the way before him unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen."
"asv","1","46","29","And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and he presented himself unto him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while."
"asv","1","46","30","And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, that thou art yet alive."
"asv","1","46","31","And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;"
"asv","1","46","32","and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have."
"asv","1","46","33","And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?"
"asv","1","46","34","that ye shall say, Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians."
"asv","1","47","1","Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen."
"asv","1","47","2","And from among his brethren he took five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh."
"asv","1","47","3","And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."
"asv","1","47","4","And they said unto Pharaoh, To sojourn in the land are we come; for there is no pasture for thy servants’ flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen."
"asv","1","47","5","And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:"
"asv","1","47","6","the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and thy brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any able men among them, then make them rulers over my cattle."
"asv","1","47","7","And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh."
"asv","1","47","8","And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How many are the days of the years of thy life?"
"asv","1","47","9","And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years: few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."
"asv","1","47","10","And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh."
"asv","1","47","11","And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded."
"asv","1","47","12","And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father’s household, with bread, according to their families."
"asv","1","47","13","And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine."
"asv","1","47","14","And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house."
"asv","1","47","15","And when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for  our money faileth."
"asv","1","47","16","And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail."
"asv","1","47","17","And they brought their cattle unto Joseph; and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their cattle for that year."
"asv","1","47","18","And when that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide from my lord, how that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord’s; there is nought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:"
"asv","1","47","19","wherefore should we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land be not desolate."
"asv","1","47","20","So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine was sore upon them: and the land became Pharaoh’s."
"asv","1","47","21","And as for the people, he removed them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end thereof."
"asv","1","47","22","Only the land of the priests bought he not: for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them; wherefore they sold not their land."
"asv","1","47","23","Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land."
"asv","1","47","24","And it shall come to pass at the ingatherings, that ye shall give a fifth unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones."
"asv","1","47","25","And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants."
"asv","1","47","26","And Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests alone became not Pharaoh’s."
"asv","1","47","27","And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they gat them possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly."
"asv","1","47","28","And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were a hundred forty and seven years."
"asv","1","47","29","And the time drew near that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me: bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt;"
"asv","1","47","30","but when I sleep with my fathers, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying-place. And he said, I will do as thou hast said."
"asv","1","47","31","And he said, Swear unto me: and he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed’s head."
"asv","1","48","1","And it came to pass after these things, that one said to Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim."
"asv","1","48","2","And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed."
"asv","1","48","3","And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,"
"asv","1","48","4","and said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples, and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession."
"asv","1","48","5","And now thy two sons, who were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine."
"asv","1","48","6","And thy issue, that thou begettest after them, shall be thine; they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance."
"asv","1","48","7","And as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when there was still some distance to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem)."
"asv","1","48","8","And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?"
"asv","1","48","9","And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them."
"asv","1","48","10","Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them."
"asv","1","48","11","And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath let me see thy seed also."
"asv","1","48","12","And Joseph brought them out from between his knees; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth."
"asv","1","48","13","And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them near unto him."
"asv","1","48","14","And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the first-born."
"asv","1","48","15","And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who hath fed me all my life long unto this day,"
"asv","1","48","16","the angel who hath redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
"asv","1","48","17","And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head."
"asv","1","48","18","And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father; for this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head."
"asv","1","48","19","And his father refused, and said, I know  it, my son, I know  it; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: howbeit his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations."
"asv","1","48","20","And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh."
"asv","1","48","21","And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God will be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers."
"asv","1","48","22","Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow."
"asv","1","49","1","And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days."
"asv","1","49","2","Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob;And hearken unto Israel your father."
"asv","1","49","3","Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength;The pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power."
"asv","1","49","4","Boiling over as water, thou shalt not have the pre-eminence;Because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed;Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch."
"asv","1","49","5","Simeon and Levi are brethren;Weapons of violence are their swords."
"asv","1","49","6","O my soul, come not thou into their council;Unto their assembly, my glory, be not thou united;For in their anger they slew a man,And in their self-will they hocked an ox."
"asv","1","49","7","Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce;And their wrath, for it was cruel:I will divide them in Jacob,And scatter them in Israel."
"asv","1","49","8","Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise:Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies;Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee."
"asv","1","49","9","Judah is a lion’s whelp;From the prey, my son, thou art gone up:He stooped down, he couched as a lion,And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?"
"asv","1","49","10","The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,Until Shiloh come;And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be."
"asv","1","49","11","Binding his foal unto the vine,And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine;He hath washed his garments in wine,And his vesture in the blood of grapes:"
"asv","1","49","12","His eyes shall be red with wine,And his teeth white with milk."
"asv","1","49","13","Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea;And he shall be for a haven of ships;And his border shall be upon Sidon."
"asv","1","49","14","Issachar is a strong ass,Couching down between the sheepfolds:"
"asv","1","49","15","And he saw a resting-place that it was good,And the land that it was pleasant;And he bowed his shoulder to bear,And became a servant under taskwork."
"asv","1","49","16","Dan shall judge his people,As one of the tribes of Israel."
"asv","1","49","17","Dan shall be a serpent in the way,An adder in the path,That biteth the horse’s heels,So that his rider falleth backward."
"asv","1","49","18","I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah."
"asv","1","49","19","Gad, a troop shall press upon him;But he shall press upon their heel."
"asv","1","49","20","Out of Asher his bread shall be fat,And he shall yield royal dainties."
"asv","1","49","21","Naphtali is a hind let loose:He giveth goodly words."
"asv","1","49","22","Joseph is a fruitful bough,A fruitful bough by a fountain;His branches run over the wall."
"asv","1","49","23","The archers have sorely grieved him,And shot at him, and persecuted him:"
"asv","1","49","24","But his bow abode in strength,And the arms of his hands were made strong,By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob(From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),"
"asv","1","49","25","Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee,And by the Almighty, who shall bless thee,With blessings of heaven above,Blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath,Blessings of the breasts, and of the womb."
"asv","1","49","26","The blessings of thy fatherHave prevailed above the blessings of my progenitorsUnto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills:They shall be on the head of Joseph,And on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."
"asv","1","49","27","Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth:In the morning he shall devour the prey,And at even he shall divide the spoil."
"asv","1","49","28","All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them."
"asv","1","49","29","And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,"
"asv","1","49","30","in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place."
"asv","1","49","31","There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah—"
"asv","1","49","32","the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth."
"asv","1","49","33","And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people."
"asv","1","50","1","And Joseph fell upon his father’s face, and wept upon him, and kissed him."
"asv","1","50","2","And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel."
"asv","1","50","3","And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him threescore and ten days."
"asv","1","50","4","And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favor in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,"
"asv","1","50","5","My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again."
"asv","1","50","6","And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear."
"asv","1","50","7","And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,"
"asv","1","50","8","and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen."
"asv","1","50","9","And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company."
"asv","1","50","10","And they came to the threshing-floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days."
"asv","1","50","11","And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan."
"asv","1","50","12","And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:"
"asv","1","50","13","for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burying-place, of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre."
"asv","1","50","14","And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father."
"asv","1","50","15","And when Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully requite us all the evil which we did unto him."
"asv","1","50","16","And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,"
"asv","1","50","17","So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for that they did unto thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him."
"asv","1","50","18","And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are thy servants."
"asv","1","50","19","And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?"
"asv","1","50","20","And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."
"asv","1","50","21","Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them."
"asv","1","50","22","And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father’s house: and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years."
"asv","1","50","23","And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were born upon Joseph’s knees."
"asv","1","50","24","And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die; but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
"asv","1","50","25","And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence."
"asv","1","50","26","So Joseph died, being a hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt."
"asv","2","1","1","Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, who came into Egypt (every man and his household came with Jacob):"
"asv","2","1","2","Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,"
"asv","2","1","3","Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,"
"asv","2","1","4","Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher."
"asv","2","1","5","And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: and Joseph was in Egypt already."
"asv","2","1","6","And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation."
"asv","2","1","7","And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them."
"asv","2","1","8","Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph."
"asv","2","1","9","And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:"
"asv","2","1","10","come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they also join themselves unto our enemies, and fight against us, and get them up out of the land."
"asv","2","1","11","Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses."
"asv","2","1","12","But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel."
"asv","2","1","13","And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigor:"
"asv","2","1","14","and they made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field, all their service, wherein they made them serve with rigor."
"asv","2","1","15","And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:"
"asv","2","1","16","and he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth-stool; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him; but if it be a daughter, then she shall live."
"asv","2","1","17","But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men-children alive."
"asv","2","1","18","And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive?"
"asv","2","1","19","And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them."
"asv","2","1","20","And God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty."
"asv","2","1","21","And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them households."
"asv","2","1","22","And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive."
"asv","2","2","1","And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi."
"asv","2","2","2","And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months."
"asv","2","2","3","And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river’s brink."
"asv","2","2","4","And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him."
"asv","2","2","5","And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river-side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it."
"asv","2","2","6","And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children."
"asv","2","2","7","Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?"
"asv","2","2","8","And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maiden went and called the child’s mother."
"asv","2","2","9","And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it."
"asv","2","2","10","And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water."
"asv","2","2","11","And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren."
"asv","2","2","12","And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand."
"asv","2","2","13","And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews were striving together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?"
"asv","2","2","14","And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? Thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known."
"asv","2","2","15","Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well."
"asv","2","2","16","Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock."
"asv","2","2","17","And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock."
"asv","2","2","18","And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?"
"asv","2","2","19","And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock."
"asv","2","2","20","And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
"asv","2","2","21","And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter."
"asv","2","2","22","And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."
"asv","2","2","23","And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage."
"asv","2","2","24","And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob."
"asv","2","2","25","And God saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge  of them."
"asv","2","3","1","Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb."
"asv","2","3","2","And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed."
"asv","2","3","3","And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
"asv","2","3","4","And when Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I."
"asv","2","3","5","And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."
"asv","2","3","6","Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God."
"asv","2","3","7","And Jehovah said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;"
"asv","2","3","8","and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite."
"asv","2","3","9","And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them."
"asv","2","3","10","Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."
"asv","2","3","11","And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
"asv","2","3","12","And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain."
"asv","2","3","13","And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?"
"asv","2","3","14","And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
"asv","2","3","15","And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations."
"asv","2","3","16","Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and  seen  that which is done to you in Egypt:"
"asv","2","3","17","and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing with milk and honey."
"asv","2","3","18","And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us: and now let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God."
"asv","2","3","19","And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, no, not by a mighty hand."
"asv","2","3","20","And I will put forth my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go."
"asv","2","3","21","And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty."
"asv","2","3","22","But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall despoil the Egyptians."
"asv","2","4","1","And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah hath not appeared unto thee."
"asv","2","4","2","And Jehovah said unto him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod."
"asv","2","4","3","And he said, Cast in on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it."
"asv","2","4","4","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail: (and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand:)"
"asv","2","4","5","That they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee."
"asv","2","4","6","And Jehovah said furthermore unto him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as  white as snow."
"asv","2","4","7","And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again; and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his  other flesh.)"
"asv","2","4","8","And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign."
"asv","2","4","9","And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land."
"asv","2","4","10","And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue."
"asv","2","4","11","And Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? Or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, Jehovah?"
"asv","2","4","12","Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak."
"asv","2","4","13","And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send."
"asv","2","4","14","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart."
"asv","2","4","15","And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do."
"asv","2","4","16","And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; and it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God."
"asv","2","4","17","And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt do the signs."
"asv","2","4","18","And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren that are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace."
"asv","2","4","19","And Jehovah said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt; for all the men are dead that sought thy life."
"asv","2","4","20","And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand."
"asv","2","4","21","And Jehovah said unto Moses, When thou goest back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand: but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go."
"asv","2","4","22","And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, Israel is my son, my first-born:"
"asv","2","4","23","and I have said unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me; and thou hast refused to let him go: behold, I will slay thy son, thy first-born."
"asv","2","4","24","And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that Jehovah met him, and sought to kill him."
"asv","2","4","25","Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, Surely a bridegroom of blood art thou to me."
"asv","2","4","26","So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood  art thou, because of the circumcision."
"asv","2","4","27","And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him."
"asv","2","4","28","And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah wherewith he had sent him, and all the signs wherewith he had charged him."
"asv","2","4","29","And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:"
"asv","2","4","30","and Aaron spake all the words which Jehovah had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people."
"asv","2","4","31","And the people believed: and when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped."
"asv","2","5","1","And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness."
"asv","2","5","2","And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go."
"asv","2","5","3","And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword."
"asv","2","5","4","And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens."
"asv","2","5","5","And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens."
"asv","2","5","6","And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,"
"asv","2","5","7","Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves."
"asv","2","5","8","And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God."
"asv","2","5","9","Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words."
"asv","2","5","10","And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw."
"asv","2","5","11","Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished."
"asv","2","5","12","So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw."
"asv","2","5","13","And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil your works,  your  daily tasks, as when there was straw."
"asv","2","5","14","And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?"
"asv","2","5","15","Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?"
"asv","2","5","16","There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people."
"asv","2","5","17","But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah."
"asv","2","5","18","Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks."
"asv","2","5","19","And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, your daily tasks."
"asv","2","5","20","And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:"
"asv","2","5","21","and they said unto them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge: because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us."
"asv","2","5","22","And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?"
"asv","2","5","23","For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all."
"asv","2","6","1","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land."
"asv","2","6","2","And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah:"
"asv","2","6","3","and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Jehovah I was not known to them."
"asv","2","6","4","And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned."
"asv","2","6","5","And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant."
"asv","2","6","6","Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:"
"asv","2","6","7","and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians."
"asv","2","6","8","And I will bring you in unto the land which I sware to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am Jehovah."
"asv","2","6","9","And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage."
"asv","2","6","10","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","6","11","Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
"asv","2","6","12","And Moses spake before Jehovah, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"
"asv","2","6","13","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","6","14","These are the heads of their fathers’ houses. The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben."
"asv","2","6","15","And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman; these are the families of Simeon."
"asv","2","6","16","And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were a hundred thirty and seven years."
"asv","2","6","17","The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families."
"asv","2","6","18","And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty and three years."
"asv","2","6","19","And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations."
"asv","2","6","20","And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty and seven years."
"asv","2","6","21","And the sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri."
"asv","2","6","22","And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri."
"asv","2","6","23","And Aaron took him Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar."
"asv","2","6","24","And the sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites."
"asv","2","6","25","And Eleazar Aaron’s son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’  houses  of the Levites according to their families."
"asv","2","6","26","These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom Jehovah said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts."
"asv","2","6","27","These are they that spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron."
"asv","2","6","28","And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,"
"asv","2","6","29","that Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee."
"asv","2","6","30","And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?"
"asv","2","7","1","And Jehovah said unto Moses, See, I have made thee as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet."
"asv","2","7","2","Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
"asv","2","7","3","And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","7","4","But Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments."
"asv","2","7","5","And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them."
"asv","2","7","6","And Moses and Aaron did so; as Jehovah commanded them, so did they."
"asv","2","7","7","And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh."
"asv","2","7","8","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","2","7","9","When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a wonder for you; then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it down before Pharaoh, that it become a serpent."
"asv","2","7","10","And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so, as Jehovah had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent."
"asv","2","7","11","Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers: and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did in like manner with their enchantments."
"asv","2","7","12","For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods."
"asv","2","7","13","And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken."
"asv","2","7","14","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, he refuseth to let the people go."
"asv","2","7","15","Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thy hand."
"asv","2","7","16","And thou shalt say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened."
"asv","2","7","17","Thus saith Jehovah, In this thou shalt know that I am Jehovah: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood."
"asv","2","7","18","And the fish that are in the river shall die, and the river shall become foul; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink water from the river."
"asv","2","7","19","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their ponds of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone."
"asv","2","7","20","And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood."
"asv","2","7","21","And the fish that were in the river died; and the river became foul, and the Egyptians could not drink water from the river; and the blood was throughout all the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","7","22","And the magicians of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken."
"asv","2","7","23","And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he lay even this to heart."
"asv","2","7","24","And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river."
"asv","2","7","25","And seven days were fulfilled, after that Jehovah had smitten the river."
"asv","2","8","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"asv","2","8","2","And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:"
"asv","2","8","3","and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs:"
"asv","2","8","4","and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants."
"asv","2","8","5","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","8","6","And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","8","7","And the magicians did in like manner with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","8","8","Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat Jehovah, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","8","9","And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Have thou this glory over me: against what time shall I entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs be destroyed from thee and thy houses, and remain in the river only?"
"asv","2","8","10","And he said, Against to-morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word; that thou mayest know that there is none like unto Jehovah our God."
"asv","2","8","11","And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only."
"asv","2","8","12","And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto Jehovah concerning the frogs which he had brought upon Pharaoh."
"asv","2","8","13","And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields."
"asv","2","8","14","And they gathered them together in heaps; and the land stank."
"asv","2","8","15","But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken."
"asv","2","8","16","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","8","17","And they did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and there were lice upon man, and upon beast; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","8","18","And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: and there were lice upon man, and upon beast."
"asv","2","8","19","Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as Jehovah had spoken."
"asv","2","8","20","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"asv","2","8","21","Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon they servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are."
"asv","2","8","22","And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the earth."
"asv","2","8","23","And I will put a division between my people and thy people: by to-morrow shall this sign be."
"asv","2","8","24","And Jehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies."
"asv","2","8","25","And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land."
"asv","2","8","26","And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?"
"asv","2","8","27","We will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God, as he shall command us."
"asv","2","8","28","And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to Jehovah your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: entreat for me."
"asv","2","8","29","And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to-morrow: only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah."
"asv","2","8","30","And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah."
"asv","2","8","31","And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one."
"asv","2","8","32","And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go."
"asv","2","9","1","Then Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"asv","2","9","2","For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,"
"asv","2","9","3","behold, the hand of Jehovah is upon thy cattle which are in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the herds, and upon the flocks:  there shall be a very grievous murrain."
"asv","2","9","4","And Jehovah shall make a distinction between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and there shall nothing die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel."
"asv","2","9","5","And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, To-morrow Jehovah shall do this thing in the land."
"asv","2","9","6","And Jehovah did that thing on the morrow; and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one."
"asv","2","9","7","And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he did not let the people go."
"asv","2","9","8","And Jehovah said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh."
"asv","2","9","9","And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","9","10","And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast."
"asv","2","9","11","And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians."
"asv","2","9","12","And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken unto Moses."
"asv","2","9","13","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me."
"asv","2","9","14","For I will this time send all my plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth."
"asv","2","9","15","For now I had put forth my hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth:"
"asv","2","9","16","but in very deed for this cause have I made thee to stand, to show thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth."
"asv","2","9","17","As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?"
"asv","2","9","18","Behold, to-morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now."
"asv","2","9","19","Now therefore send, hasten in thy cattle and all that thou hast in the field;  for every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die."
"asv","2","9","20","He that feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses."
"asv","2","9","21","And he that regarded not the word of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle in the field."
"asv","2","9","22","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","9","23","And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire ran down unto the earth; and Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","9","24","So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation."
"asv","2","9","25","And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field."
"asv","2","9","26","Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail."
"asv","2","9","27","And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked."
"asv","2","9","28","Entreat Jehovah; for there hath been enough of  these mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer."
"asv","2","9","29","And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto Jehovah; the thunders shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know that the earth is Jehovah’s."
"asv","2","9","30","But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah God."
"asv","2","9","31","And the flax and the barley were smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom."
"asv","2","9","32","But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten: for they were not grown up."
"asv","2","9","33","And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto Jehovah: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth."
"asv","2","9","34","And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants."
"asv","2","9","35","And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by Moses."
"asv","2","10","1","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,"
"asv","2","10","2","and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","2","10","3","And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me."
"asv","2","10","4","Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border:"
"asv","2","10","5","and they shall cover the face of the earth, so that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:"
"asv","2","10","6","and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh."
"asv","2","10","7","And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?"
"asv","2","10","8","And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve Jehovah your God; but who are they that shall go?"
"asv","2","10","9","And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","10","10","And he said unto them, So be Jehovah with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you."
"asv","2","10","11","Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Jehovah; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence."
"asv","2","10","12","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left."
"asv","2","10","13","And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts."
"asv","2","10","14","And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such."
"asv","2","10","15","For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","10","16","Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you."
"asv","2","10","17","Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that he may take away from me this death only."
"asv","2","10","18","And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah."
"asv","2","10","19","And Jehovah turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt."
"asv","2","10","20","But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go."
"asv","2","10","21","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."
"asv","2","10","22","And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;"
"asv","2","10","23","they saw not one another, neither rose any one from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings."
"asv","2","10","24","And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Jehovah; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you."
"asv","2","10","25","And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Jehovah our God."
"asv","2","10","26","Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind: for thereof must we take to serve Jehovah our God; and we know not with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come thither."
"asv","2","10","27","But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go."
"asv","2","10","28","And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die."
"asv","2","10","29","And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well. I will see thy face again no more."
"asv","2","11","1","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Yet one plague more will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether."
"asv","2","11","2","Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold."
"asv","2","11","3","And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people."
"asv","2","11","4","And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:"
"asv","2","11","5","and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle."
"asv","2","11","6","And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there hath not been, nor shall be any more."
"asv","2","11","7","But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that Jehovah doth make a distinction between the Egyptians and Israel."
"asv","2","11","8","And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger."
"asv","2","11","9","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","11","10","And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land."
"asv","2","12","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,"
"asv","2","12","2","This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you."
"asv","2","12","3","Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household:"
"asv","2","12","4","and if the household be too little for a lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house take one according to the number of the souls; according to every man’s eating ye shall make your count for the lamb."
"asv","2","12","5","Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:"
"asv","2","12","6","and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even."
"asv","2","12","7","And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the houses wherein they shall eat it."
"asv","2","12","8","And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; with bitter herbs they shall eat it."
"asv","2","12","9","Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roast with fire; its head with its legs and with the inwards thereof."
"asv","2","12","10","And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire."
"asv","2","12","11","And thus shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Jehovah’s passover."
"asv","2","12","12","For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am Jehovah."
"asv","2","12","13","And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","12","14","And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah: throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever."
"asv","2","12","15","Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel."
"asv","2","12","16","And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you."
"asv","2","12","17","And ye shall observe the  feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance for ever."
"asv","2","12","18","In the first  month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even."
"asv","2","12","19","Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one that is born in the land."
"asv","2","12","20","Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread."
"asv","2","12","21","Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover."
"asv","2","12","22","And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning."
"asv","2","12","23","For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."
"asv","2","12","24","And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever."
"asv","2","12","25","And it shall come to pass, when ye are come to the land which Jehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service."
"asv","2","12","26","And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?"
"asv","2","12","27","that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Jehovah’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped."
"asv","2","12","28","And the children of Israel went and did so; as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they."
"asv","2","12","29","And it came to pass at midnight, that Jehovah smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of cattle."
"asv","2","12","30","And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead."
"asv","2","12","31","And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said."
"asv","2","12","32","Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also."
"asv","2","12","33","And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men."
"asv","2","12","34","And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders."
"asv","2","12","35","And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment."
"asv","2","12","36","And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians."
"asv","2","12","37","And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children."
"asv","2","12","38","And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle."
"asv","2","12","39","And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals."
"asv","2","12","40","Now the time that the children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years."
"asv","2","12","41","And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","12","42","It is a night to be much observed unto Jehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Jehovah, to be much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations."
"asv","2","12","43","And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no foreigner eat thereof;"
"asv","2","12","44","but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof."
"asv","2","12","45","A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof."
"asv","2","12","46","In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof."
"asv","2","12","47","All the congregation of Israel shall keep it."
"asv","2","12","48","And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof."
"asv","2","12","49","One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you."
"asv","2","12","50","Thus did all the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they."
"asv","2","12","51","And it came to pass the selfsame day, that Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts."
"asv","2","13","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","13","2","Sanctify unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine."
"asv","2","13","3","And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Jehovah brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten."
"asv","2","13","4","This day ye go forth in the month Abib."
"asv","2","13","5","And it shall be, when Jehovah shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month."
"asv","2","13","6","Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Jehovah."
"asv","2","13","7","Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy borders."
"asv","2","13","8","And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, It is because of that which Jehovah did for me when I came forth out of Egypt."
"asv","2","13","9","And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of Jehovah may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out of Egypt."
"asv","2","13","10","Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year."
"asv","2","13","11","And it shall be, when Jehovah shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanite, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,"
"asv","2","13","12","that thou shalt set apart unto Jehovah all that openeth the womb, and every firstling which thou hast that cometh of a beast; the males shall be Jehovah’s."
"asv","2","13","13","And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck: and all the first-born of man among thy sons shalt thou redeem."
"asv","2","13","14","And it shall be, when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:"
"asv","2","13","15","and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that Jehovah slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man, and the first-born of beast: therefore I sacrifice to Jehovah all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the first-born of my sons I redeem."
"asv","2","13","16","And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt."
"asv","2","13","17","And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:"
"asv","2","13","18","but God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","13","19","And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you."
"asv","2","13","20","And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness."
"asv","2","13","21","And Jehovah went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:"
"asv","2","13","22","the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, departed not from before the people."
"asv","2","14","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","14","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon: over against it shall ye encamp by the sea."
"asv","2","14","3","And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in."
"asv","2","14","4","And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host: and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so."
"asv","2","14","5","And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
"asv","2","14","6","And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:"
"asv","2","14","7","and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them."
"asv","2","14","8","And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: for the children of Israel went out with a high hand."
"asv","2","14","9","And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses  and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon."
"asv","2","14","10","And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","14","11","And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?"
"asv","2","14","12","Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness."
"asv","2","14","13","And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever."
"asv","2","14","14","Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."
"asv","2","14","15","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward."
"asv","2","14","16","And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground."
"asv","2","14","17","And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen."
"asv","2","14","18","And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen."
"asv","2","14","19","And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them:"
"asv","2","14","20","and it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one came not near the other all the night."
"asv","2","14","21","And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea to go  back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided."
"asv","2","14","22","And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."
"asv","2","14","23","And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen."
"asv","2","14","24","And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked forth upon the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians."
"asv","2","14","25","And he took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for Jehovah fighteth for them against the Egyptians."
"asv","2","14","26","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen."
"asv","2","14","27","And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea."
"asv","2","14","28","And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them."
"asv","2","14","29","But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."
"asv","2","14","30","Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore."
"asv","2","14","31","And Israel saw the great work which Jehovah did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared Jehovah: and they believed in Jehovah, and in his servant Moses."
"asv","2","15","1","Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake, saying,I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously:The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
"asv","2","15","2","Jehovah is my strength and song,And he is become my salvation:This is my God, and I will praise him;My father’s God, and I will exalt him."
"asv","2","15","3","Jehovah is a man of war:Jehovah is his name."
"asv","2","15","4","Pharaoh’s chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea;And his chosen captains are sunk in the Red Sea."
"asv","2","15","5","The deeps cover them:They went down into the depths like a stone."
"asv","2","15","6","Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious in power,Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dasheth in pieces the enemy."
"asv","2","15","7","And in the greatness of thine excellency thou overthrowest them that rise up against thee: Thou sendest forth thy wrath, it consumeth them as stubble."
"asv","2","15","8","And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were piled up,The floods stood upright as a heap;The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea."
"asv","2","15","9","The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;My desire shall be satisfied upon them;I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them."
"asv","2","15","10","Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them:They sank as lead in the mighty waters."
"asv","2","15","11","Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods?Who is like thee, glorious in holiness,Fearful in praises, doing wonders?"
"asv","2","15","12","Thou stretchedst out thy right hand,The earth swallowed them."
"asv","2","15","13","Thou in thy lovingkindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed:Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation."
"asv","2","15","14","The peoples have heard, they tremble:Pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia."
"asv","2","15","15","Then were the chiefs of Edom dismayed;The mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them:All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away."
"asv","2","15","16","Terror and dread falleth upon them;By the greatness of thine arm they are as still as a stone;Till thy people pass over, O Jehovah,Till the people pass over that thou hast purchased."
"asv","2","15","17","Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance,The place, O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in,The sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established."
"asv","2","15","18","Jehovah shall reign for ever and ever."
"asv","2","15","19","For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea."
"asv","2","15","20","And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances."
"asv","2","15","21","And Miriam answered them,Sing ye to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously;The horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea."
"asv","2","15","22","And Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water."
"asv","2","15","23","And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah."
"asv","2","15","24","And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?"
"asv","2","15","25","An he cried unto Jehovah; And Jehovah showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them;"
"asv","2","15","26","and he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his eyes, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians: for I am Jehovah that healeth thee."
"asv","2","15","27","And they came to Elim, where were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees: and they encamped there by the waters."
"asv","2","16","1","And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","16","2","And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness:"
"asv","2","16","3","and the children of Israel said unto them, Would that we had died by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh-pots, when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."
"asv","2","16","4","Then said Jehovah unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or not."
"asv","2","16","5","And it shall come to pass on the sixth day, that they shall prepare that which they bring in, and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily."
"asv","2","16","6","And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;"
"asv","2","16","7","and in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of Jehovah; for that he heareth your murmurings against Jehovah: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?"
"asv","2","16","8","And Moses said,  This shall be, when Jehovah shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that Jehovah heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah."
"asv","2","16","9","And Moses said unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before Jehovah; for he hath heard your murmurings."
"asv","2","16","10","And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah appeared in the cloud."
"asv","2","16","11","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","16","12","I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","2","16","13","And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp."
"asv","2","16","14","And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground."
"asv","2","16","15","And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? For they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat."
"asv","2","16","16","This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent."
"asv","2","16","17","And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less."
"asv","2","16","18","And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating."
"asv","2","16","19","And Moses said unto them, Let no man leave of it till the morning."
"asv","2","16","20","Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was wroth with them."
"asv","2","16","21","And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted."
"asv","2","16","22","And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses."
"asv","2","16","23","And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning."
"asv","2","16","24","And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not become foul, neither was there any worm therein."
"asv","2","16","25","And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a sabbath unto Jehovah: to-day ye shall not find it in the field."
"asv","2","16","26","Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day is the sabbath, in it there shall be none."
"asv","2","16","27","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that there went out some of the people to gather, and they found none."
"asv","2","16","28","And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?"
"asv","2","16","29","See, for that Jehovah hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."
"asv","2","16","30","So the people rested on the seventh day."
"asv","2","16","31","And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers  made  with honey."
"asv","2","16","32","And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread wherewith I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","16","33","And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omerful of manna therein, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be kept throughout your generations."
"asv","2","16","34","As Jehovah commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept."
"asv","2","16","35","And the children of Israel did eat the manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat the manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan."
"asv","2","16","36","Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah."
"asv","2","17","1","And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of Jehovah, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink."
"asv","2","17","2","Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?"
"asv","2","17","3","And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?"
"asv","2","17","4","And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people? They are almost ready to stone me."
"asv","2","17","5","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go."
"asv","2","17","6","Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel."
"asv","2","17","7","And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?"
"asv","2","17","8","Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim."
"asv","2","17","9","And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand."
"asv","2","17","10","So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill."
"asv","2","17","11","And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed."
"asv","2","17","12","But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
"asv","2","17","13","And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword."
"asv","2","17","14","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
"asv","2","17","15","And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi;"
"asv","2","17","16","And he said, Jehovah hath sworn: Jehovah will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."
"asv","2","18","1","Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how that Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt."
"asv","2","18","2","And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses’ wife, after he had sent her away,"
"asv","2","18","3","and her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been a sojourner in a foreign land:"
"asv","2","18","4","and the name of the other was Eliezer; for  he said, The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."
"asv","2","18","5","And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness where he was encamped, at the mount of God:"
"asv","2","18","6","and he said unto Moses, I, thy father-in-law Jethro, am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her."
"asv","2","18","7","And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance, and kissed him: and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent."
"asv","2","18","8","And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how Jehovah delivered them."
"asv","2","18","9","And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which Jehovah had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians."
"asv","2","18","10","And Jethro said, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh; who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians."
"asv","2","18","11","Now I know that Jehovah is greater than all gods; yea, in the thing wherein they dealt proudly against them."
"asv","2","18","12","And Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses’ father-in-law before God."
"asv","2","18","13","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood about Moses from the morning unto the evening."
"asv","2","18","14","And when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand about thee from morning unto even?"
"asv","2","18","15","And Moses said unto his father-in-law, Because the people come unto me to inquire of God:"
"asv","2","18","16","when they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between a man and his neighbor, and I make them know the statutes of God, and his laws."
"asv","2","18","17","And Moses’ father-in-law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good."
"asv","2","18","18","Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for the thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone."
"asv","2","18","19","Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, and bring thou the causes unto God:"
"asv","2","18","20","and thou shalt teach them the statutes and the laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do."
"asv","2","18","21","Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:"
"asv","2","18","22","and let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge themselves: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee."
"asv","2","18","23","If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people also shall go to their place in peace."
"asv","2","18","24","So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said."
"asv","2","18","25","And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens."
"asv","2","18","26","And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves."
"asv","2","18","27","And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land."
"asv","2","19","1","In the third month after the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai."
"asv","2","19","2","And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount."
"asv","2","19","3","And Moses went up unto God, and Jehovah called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:"
"asv","2","19","4","Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself."
"asv","2","19","5","Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be mine own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is mine:"
"asv","2","19","6","and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel."
"asv","2","19","7","And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him."
"asv","2","19","8","And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah hath spoken we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","19","9","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","19","10","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments,"
"asv","2","19","11","and be ready against the third day; for the third day Jehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai."
"asv","2","19","12","And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:"
"asv","2","19","13","no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, he shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount."
"asv","2","19","14","And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments."
"asv","2","19","15","And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not near a woman."
"asv","2","19","16","And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled."
"asv","2","19","17","And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount."
"asv","2","19","18","And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly."
"asv","2","19","19","And when the voice of the trumpet waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice."
"asv","2","19","20","And Jehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount: and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up."
"asv","2","19","21","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish."
"asv","2","19","22","And let the priests also, that come near to Jehovah, sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth upon them."
"asv","2","19","23","And Moses said unto Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it."
"asv","2","19","24","And Jehovah said unto him, Go, get thee down; and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto Jehovah, lest he break forth upon them."
"asv","2","19","25","So Moses went down unto the people, and told them."
"asv","2","20","1","And God spake all these words, saying,"
"asv","2","20","2","I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
"asv","2","20","3","Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"asv","2","20","4","Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."
"asv","2","20","5","Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,"
"asv","2","20","6","and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments."
"asv","2","20","7","Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
"asv","2","20","8","Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."
"asv","2","20","9","Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;"
"asv","2","20","10","but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God:  in it  thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:"
"asv","2","20","11","for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."
"asv","2","20","12","Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"asv","2","20","13","Thou shalt not kill."
"asv","2","20","14","Thou shalt not commit adultery."
"asv","2","20","15","Thou shalt not steal."
"asv","2","20","16","Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
"asv","2","20","17","Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s."
"asv","2","20","18","And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off."
"asv","2","20","19","And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die."
"asv","2","20","20","And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not."
"asv","2","20","21","And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was."
"asv","2","20","22","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven."
"asv","2","20","23","Ye shall not make  other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you."
"asv","2","20","24","An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee."
"asv","2","20","25","And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it."
"asv","2","20","26","Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon."
"asv","2","21","1","Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them."
"asv","2","21","2","If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing."
"asv","2","21","3","If he come in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he be married, then his wife shall go out with him."
"asv","2","21","4","If his master give him a wife and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself."
"asv","2","21","5","But if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:"
"asv","2","21","6","then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever."
"asv","2","21","7","And if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant, she shall not go out as the men-servants do."
"asv","2","21","8","If she please not her master, who hath espoused her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a foreign people he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her."
"asv","2","21","9","And if he espouse her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters."
"asv","2","21","10","If he take him another  wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish."
"asv","2","21","11","And if he do not these three things unto her, then shall she go out for nothing, without money."
"asv","2","21","12","He that smiteth a man, so that he dieth, shall surely be put to death."
"asv","2","21","13","And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver  him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee."
"asv","2","21","14","And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbor, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die."
"asv","2","21","15","And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death."
"asv","2","21","16","And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death."
"asv","2","21","17","And he that curseth his father or his mother, shall surely be put to death."
"asv","2","21","18","And if men contend, and one smite the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keep his bed;"
"asv","2","21","19","if he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed."
"asv","2","21","20","And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall surely be punished."
"asv","2","21","21","Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money."
"asv","2","21","22","And if men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart, and yet no harm follow; he shall be surely fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine."
"asv","2","21","23","But if any harm follow, then thou shalt give life for life,"
"asv","2","21","24","eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,"
"asv","2","21","25","burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
"asv","2","21","26","And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, and destroy it; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake."
"asv","2","21","27","And if he smite out his man-servant’s tooth, or his maid-servant’s tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake."
"asv","2","21","28","And if an ox gore a man or a woman to death, the ox shall be surely stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit."
"asv","2","21","29","But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and it hath been testified to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death."
"asv","2","21","30","If there be laid on him a ransom, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatsoever is laid upon him."
"asv","2","21","31","Whether it have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him."
"asv","2","21","32","If the ox gore a man-servant or a maid-servant, there shall be given unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned."
"asv","2","21","33","And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein,"
"asv","2","21","34","the owner of the pit shall make it good; he shall give money unto the owner thereof, and the dead  beast shall be his."
"asv","2","21","35","And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, so that it dieth, then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the price of it: and the dead also they shall divide."
"asv","2","21","36","Or if it be known that the ox was wont to gore in time past, and its owner hath not kept it in, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and the dead beast shall be his own."
"asv","2","22","1","If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep."
"asv","2","22","2","If the thief be found breaking in, and be smitten so that he dieth, there shall be no bloodguiltiness for him."
"asv","2","22","3","If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be bloodguiltiness for him; he shall make restitution: if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft."
"asv","2","22","4","If the theft be found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep, he shall pay double."
"asv","2","22","5","If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall let his beast loose, and it feed in another man’s field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution."
"asv","2","22","6","If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the shocks of grain, or the standing grain, or the field are consumed; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution."
"asv","2","22","7","If a man shall deliver unto his neighbor money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man’s house; if the thief be found, he shall pay double."
"asv","2","22","8","If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall come near unto God,  to see whether he have not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods."
"asv","2","22","9","For every matter of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment,  or for any manner of lost thing, whereof one saith, This is it, the cause of both parties shall come before God; he whom God shall condemn shall pay double unto his neighbor."
"asv","2","22","10","If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:"
"asv","2","22","11","the oath of Jehovah shall be between them both, whether he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor’s goods; and the owner thereof shall accept it, and he shall not make restitution."
"asv","2","22","12","But if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof."
"asv","2","22","13","If it be torn in pieces, let him bring it for witness: he shall not make good that which was torn."
"asv","2","22","14","And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof not being with it, he shall surely make restitution."
"asv","2","22","15","If the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be a hired thing, it came for its hire."
"asv","2","22","16","And if a man entice a virgin that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely pay a dowry for her to be his wife."
"asv","2","22","17","If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins."

"asv","2","22","23","If thou afflict them at all, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;"
"asv","2","22","24","and my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless."
"asv","2","22","25","If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest."
"asv","2","22","26","If thou at all take thy neighbor’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun goeth down:"
"asv","2","22","27","for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? And it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious."
"asv","2","22","28","Thou shalt not revile God, nor curse a ruler of thy people."
"asv","2","22","29","Thou shalt not delay to offer of thy harvest, and of the outflow of thy presses. The first-born of thy sons shalt thou give unto me."
"asv","2","22","30","Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen,  and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with its dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me."
"asv","2","22","31","And ye shall be holy men unto me: therefore ye shall not eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs."
"asv","2","23","1","Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness."
"asv","2","23","2","Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest  justice:"
"asv","2","23","3","neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause."
"asv","2","23","4","If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again."
"asv","2","23","5","If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, thou shalt forbear to leave him, thou shalt surely release  it with him."
"asv","2","23","6","Thou shalt not wrest the justice  due to thy poor in his cause."
"asv","2","23","7","Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked."
"asv","2","23","8","And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous."
"asv","2","23","9","And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a sojourner, seeing ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","23","10","And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof:"
"asv","2","23","11","but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard,  and with thy oliveyard."
"asv","2","23","12","Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed."
"asv","2","23","13","And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth."
"asv","2","23","14","Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year."
"asv","2","23","15","The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it thou camest out from Egypt); and none shall appear before me empty:"
"asv","2","23","16","and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sowest in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labors out of the field."
"asv","2","23","17","Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","2","23","18","Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning."
"asv","2","23","19","The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk."
"asv","2","23","20","Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared."
"asv","2","23","21","Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him."
"asv","2","23","22","But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries."
"asv","2","23","23","For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off."
"asv","2","23","24","Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars."
"asv","2","23","25","And ye shall serve Jehovah your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee."
"asv","2","23","26","There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil."
"asv","2","23","27","I will send my terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee."
"asv","2","23","28","And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee."
"asv","2","23","29","I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee."
"asv","2","23","30","By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land."
"asv","2","23","31","And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand: and thou shalt drive them out before thee."
"asv","2","23","32","Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods."
"asv","2","23","33","They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee."
"asv","2","24","1","And he said unto Moses, Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off:"
"asv","2","24","2","and Moses alone shall come near unto Jehovah; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him."
"asv","2","24","3","And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the ordinances: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which Jehovah hath spoken will we do."
"asv","2","24","4","And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel."
"asv","2","24","5","And he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","24","6","And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar."
"asv","2","24","7","And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that Jehovah hath spoken will we do, and be obedient."
"asv","2","24","8","And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Jehovah hath made with you concerning all these words."
"asv","2","24","9","Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel."
"asv","2","24","10","And they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness."
"asv","2","24","11","And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: and they beheld God, and did eat and drink."
"asv","2","24","12","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them."
"asv","2","24","13","And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister: and Moses went up into the mount of God."
"asv","2","24","14","And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: whosoever hath a cause, let him come near unto them."
"asv","2","24","15","And Moses went up into the mount, and the cloud covered the mount."
"asv","2","24","16","And the glory of Jehovah abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud."
"asv","2","24","17","And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel."
"asv","2","24","18","And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights."
"asv","2","25","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","25","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, that they take for me an offering: of every man whose heart maketh him willing ye shall take my offering."
"asv","2","25","3","And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass,"
"asv","2","25","4","and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’  hair,"
"asv","2","25","5","and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,"
"asv","2","25","6","oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,"
"asv","2","25","7","onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate."
"asv","2","25","8","And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them."
"asv","2","25","9","According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it."
"asv","2","25","10","And they shall make an ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof."

"asv","2","25","20","And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat shall the faces of the cherubim be."
"asv","2","25","21","And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee."
"asv","2","25","22","And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel."
"asv","2","25","23","And thou shalt make a table of acacia wood: two cubits  shall be  the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof."

"asv","2","26","33","And thou shalt hang up the veil under the clasps, and shalt bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil shall separate unto you between the holy place and the most holy."
"asv","2","26","34","And thou shalt put the mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place."
"asv","2","26","35","And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side."
"asv","2","26","36","And thou shalt make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer."

"asv","2","27","21","In the tent of meeting, without the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah: it shall be a statue for ever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel."
"asv","2","28","1","And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons."
"asv","2","28","2","And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty."
"asv","2","28","3","And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office."

"asv","2","28","8","And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall be like the work thereof  and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen."
"asv","2","28","9","And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:"
"asv","2","28","10","six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth."
"asv","2","28","11","With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be inclosed in settings of gold."
"asv","2","28","12","And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial."
"asv","2","28","13","And thou shalt make settings of gold,"
"asv","2","28","14","and two chains of pure gold; like cords shalt thou make them, of wreathen work: and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the settings."
"asv","2","28","15","And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it."

"asv","2","28","31","And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue."
"asv","2","28","32","And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent."
"asv","2","28","33","And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:"
"asv","2","28","34","a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about."
"asv","2","28","35","And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he die not."
"asv","2","28","36","And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH."
"asv","2","28","37","And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be."
"asv","2","28","38","And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah."
"asv","2","28","39","And thou shalt weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer."

"asv","2","28","43","And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him."
"asv","2","29","1","And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest’s office: take one young bullock and two rams without blemish,"
"asv","2","29","2","and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened mingled with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them."
"asv","2","29","3","And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams."
"asv","2","29","4","And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water."
"asv","2","29","5","And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod;"
"asv","2","29","6","and thou shalt set the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre."
"asv","2","29","7","Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him."
"asv","2","29","8","And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them."
"asv","2","29","9","And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind head-tires on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons."
"asv","2","29","10","And thou shalt bring the bullock before the tent of meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock."
"asv","2","29","11","And thou shalt kill the bullock before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","2","29","12","And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger; and thou shalt pour out all the blood at the base of the altar."
"asv","2","29","13","And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar."
"asv","2","29","14","But the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and it dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin-offering."
"asv","2","29","15","Thou shalt also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram."
"asv","2","29","16","And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take its blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar."
"asv","2","29","17","And thou shalt cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head."
"asv","2","29","18","And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering unto Jehovah; it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","29","19","And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram."
"asv","2","29","20","Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about."
"asv","2","29","21","And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him."
"asv","2","29","22","Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),"
"asv","2","29","23","and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Jehovah."
"asv","2","29","24","And thou shalt put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and shalt wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah."
"asv","2","29","25","And thou shalt take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar upon the burnt-offering, for a sweet savor before Jehovah: it is an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","29","26","And thou shalt take the breast of Aaron’s ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thy portion."
"asv","2","29","27","And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the thigh of the heave-offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:"
"asv","2","29","28","and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as  their portion for ever from the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering: and it shall be a heave-offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, even their heave-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","29","29","And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them."
"asv","2","29","30","Seven days shall the son that is priest in his stead put them on, when he cometh into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place."
"asv","2","29","31","And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place."
"asv","2","29","32","And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","2","29","33","And they shall eat those things wherewith atonement was made, to consecrate  and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy."
"asv","2","29","34","And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy."
"asv","2","29","35","And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them."
"asv","2","29","36","And every day shalt thou offer the bullock of sin-offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou makest atonement for it; and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it."
"asv","2","29","37","Seven days thou shalt make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy."
"asv","2","29","38","Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually."
"asv","2","29","39","The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:"
"asv","2","29","40","and with the one lamb a tenth part  of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering."
"asv","2","29","41","And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","29","42","It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak there unto thee."
"asv","2","29","43","And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and  the Tent  shall be sanctified by my glory."
"asv","2","29","44","And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar: Aaron also and his sons will I sanctify, to minister to me in the priest’s office."
"asv","2","29","45","And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God."
"asv","2","29","46","And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Jehovah their God."
"asv","2","30","1","And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it."
"asv","2","30","2","A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it."
"asv","2","30","3","And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about."
"asv","2","30","4","And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof; upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it."
"asv","2","30","5","And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold."
"asv","2","30","6","And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee."
"asv","2","30","7","And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it."
"asv","2","30","8","And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations."
"asv","2","30","9","Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon."
"asv","2","30","10","And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","30","11","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","30","12","When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to those that are numbered of them, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Jehovah, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them."
"asv","2","30","13","This they shall give, every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah."
"asv","2","30","14","Every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Jehovah."
"asv","2","30","15","The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls."
"asv","2","30","16","And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls."
"asv","2","30","17","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","30","18","Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash. And thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein."
"asv","2","30","19","And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:"
"asv","2","30","20","when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","30","21","So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations."
"asv","2","30","22","Moreover Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","30","23","Take thou also unto thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,"
"asv","2","30","24","and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin."
"asv","2","30","25","And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil."
"asv","2","30","26","And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,"
"asv","2","30","27","and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,"
"asv","2","30","28","and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof."
"asv","2","30","29","And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy."
"asv","2","30","30","And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office."
"asv","2","30","31","And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations."
"asv","2","30","32","Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof: it is holy,  and  it shall be holy unto you."
"asv","2","30","33","Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","2","30","34","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight;"
"asv","2","30","35","and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure  and holy:"
"asv","2","30","36","and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy."
"asv","2","30","37","And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for Jehovah."
"asv","2","30","38","Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","2","31","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","31","2","See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:"
"asv","2","31","3","and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,"
"asv","2","31","4","to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,"
"asv","2","31","5","and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship."
"asv","2","31","6","And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee:"
"asv","2","31","7","the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent,"
"asv","2","31","8","and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense,"
"asv","2","31","9","and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base,"
"asv","2","31","10","and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,"
"asv","2","31","11","and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do."
"asv","2","31","12","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","31","13","Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you."
"asv","2","31","14","Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
"asv","2","31","15","Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death."
"asv","2","31","16","Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant."
"asv","2","31","17","It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed."
"asv","2","31","18","And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God."
"asv","2","32","1","And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him."
"asv","2","32","2","And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me."
"asv","2","32","3","And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron."
"asv","2","32","4","And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","32","5","And when Aaron saw  this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To-morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah."
"asv","2","32","6","And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play."
"asv","2","32","7","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:"
"asv","2","32","8","they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","2","32","9","And Jehovah said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:"
"asv","2","32","10","now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation."
"asv","2","32","11","And Moses besought Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, that thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?"
"asv","2","32","12","Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil did he bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people."
"asv","2","32","13","Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever."
"asv","2","32","14","And Jehovah repented of the evil which he said he would do unto his people."
"asv","2","32","15","And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written."
"asv","2","32","16","And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables."
"asv","2","32","17","And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp."
"asv","2","32","18","And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome; but the noise of them that sing do I hear."
"asv","2","32","19","And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount."
"asv","2","32","20","And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it."
"asv","2","32","21","And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them?"
"asv","2","32","22","And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are  set on evil."
"asv","2","32","23","For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him."
"asv","2","32","24","And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off: so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf."
"asv","2","32","25","And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,)"
"asv","2","32","26","then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoso is on Jehovah’s side,  let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him."
"asv","2","32","27","And he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor."
"asv","2","32","28","And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men."
"asv","2","32","29","And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to-day to Jehovah, yea, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day."
"asv","2","32","30","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto Jehovah; peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin."
"asv","2","32","31","And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold."
"asv","2","32","32","Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written."
"asv","2","32","33","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book."
"asv","2","32","34","And now go, lead the people unto  the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them."
"asv","2","32","35","And Jehovah smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made."
"asv","2","33","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:"
"asv","2","33","2","and I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:"
"asv","2","33","3","unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiffnecked people, lest I consume thee in the way."
"asv","2","33","4","And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments."
"asv","2","33","5","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people; if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee."
"asv","2","33","6","And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward."
"asv","2","33","7","Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one that sought Jehovah went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp."
"asv","2","33","8","And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent."
"asv","2","33","9","And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and  Jehovah  spake with Moses."
"asv","2","33","10","And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door."
"asv","2","33","11","And Jehovah spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tent."
"asv","2","33","12","And Moses said unto Jehovah, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found favor in my sight."
"asv","2","33","13","Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, show me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find favor in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people."
"asv","2","33","14","And he said, My presence shall go  with thee, and I will give thee rest."
"asv","2","33","15","And he said unto him, If thy presence go not  with me, carry us not up hence."
"asv","2","33","16","For wherein now shall it be known that I have found favor in thy sight, I and thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us, so that we are separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?"
"asv","2","33","17","And Jehovah said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found favor in my sight, and I know thee by name."
"asv","2","33","18","And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory."
"asv","2","33","19","And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."
"asv","2","33","20","And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for man shall not see me and live."
"asv","2","33","21","and Jehovah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:"
"asv","2","33","22","and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by:"
"asv","2","33","23","and I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
"asv","2","34","1","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou brakest."
"asv","2","34","2","And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount."
"asv","2","34","3","And no man shall come up with thee; neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount."
"asv","2","34","4","And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone."
"asv","2","34","5","And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah."
"asv","2","34","6","And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth,"
"asv","2","34","7","keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear  the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation."
"asv","2","34","8","And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped."
"asv","2","34","9","And he said, If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance."
"asv","2","34","10","And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of Jehovah; for it is a terrible thing that I do with thee."
"asv","2","34","11","Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite."
"asv","2","34","12","Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:"
"asv","2","34","13","but ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim;"
"asv","2","34","14","for thou shalt worship no other god: for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"
"asv","2","34","15","lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice;"
"asv","2","34","16","and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods, and make thy sons play the harlot after their gods."
"asv","2","34","17","Thou shalt make thee no molten gods."
"asv","2","34","18","The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt."
"asv","2","34","19","All that openeth the womb is mine; and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of cow and sheep."
"asv","2","34","20","And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty."
"asv","2","34","21","Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in plowing time and in harvest thou shalt rest."
"asv","2","34","22","And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks,  even of the first-fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end."
"asv","2","34","23","Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","2","34","24","For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in the year."
"asv","2","34","25","Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning."
"asv","2","34","26","The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk."
"asv","2","34","27","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel."
"asv","2","34","28","And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments."
"asv","2","34","29","And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him."
"asv","2","34","30","And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him."
"asv","2","34","31","And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses spake to them."
"asv","2","34","32","And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him in mount Sinai."
"asv","2","34","33","And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face."
"asv","2","34","34","But when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded."
"asv","2","34","35","And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him."
"asv","2","35","1","And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which Jehovah hath commanded, that ye should do them."
"asv","2","35","2","Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death."
"asv","2","35","3","Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day."
"asv","2","35","4","And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded, saying,"
"asv","2","35","5","Take ye from among you an offering unto Jehovah; whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, Jehovah’s offering: gold, and silver, and brass,"
"asv","2","35","6","and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’  hair,"
"asv","2","35","7","and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, and acacia wood,"
"asv","2","35","8","and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,"
"asv","2","35","9","and onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate."
"asv","2","35","10","And let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that Jehovah hath commanded:"
"asv","2","35","11","the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;"
"asv","2","35","12","the ark, and the staves thereof, the mercy-seat, and the veil of the screen;"
"asv","2","35","13","the table, and its staves, and all its vessels, and the showbread;"
"asv","2","35","14","the candlestick also for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light;"
"asv","2","35","15","and the altar of incense, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;"
"asv","2","35","16","the altar of burnt-offering, with its grating of brass, it staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;"
"asv","2","35","17","the hangings of the court, the pillars thereof, and their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;"
"asv","2","35","18","the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords;"
"asv","2","35","19","the finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office."
"asv","2","35","20","And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses."
"asv","2","35","21","And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing,  and brought Jehovah’s offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments."
"asv","2","35","22","And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, and ear-rings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man that offered an offering of gold unto Jehovah."
"asv","2","35","23","And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’  hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them."
"asv","2","35","24","Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought Jehovah’s offering; and every man, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it."
"asv","2","35","25","And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen."
"asv","2","35","26","And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair."
"asv","2","35","27","And the rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;"
"asv","2","35","28","and the spice, and the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense."
"asv","2","35","29","The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto Jehovah; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Jehovah had commanded to be made by Moses."
"asv","2","35","30","And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, Jehovah hath called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah."
"asv","2","35","31","And he hath filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;"
"asv","2","35","32","and to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,"
"asv","2","35","33","and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of skilful workmanship."
"asv","2","35","34","And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan."
"asv","2","35","35","Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the skilful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise skilful works."
"asv","2","36","1","And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded."
"asv","2","36","2","And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:"
"asv","2","36","3","and they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning."
"asv","2","36","4","And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought."
"asv","2","36","5","And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make."
"asv","2","36","6","And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing."
"asv","2","36","7","For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much."
"asv","2","36","8","And all the wise-hearted men among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman,  Bezalel  made them."
"asv","2","36","9","The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure."
"asv","2","36","10","And he coupled five curtains one to another: and  the other  five curtains he coupled one to another."
"asv","2","36","11","And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling."
"asv","2","36","12","Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling: the loops were opposite one to another."
"asv","2","36","13","And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was one."
"asv","2","36","14","And he made curtains of goats’  hair for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them."
"asv","2","36","15","The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one measure."
"asv","2","36","16","And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves."
"asv","2","36","17","And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling."
"asv","2","36","18","And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one."
"asv","2","36","19","And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above."
"asv","2","36","20","And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of acacia wood, standing up."
"asv","2","36","21","Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board."
"asv","2","36","22","Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle."
"asv","2","36","23","And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward."
"asv","2","36","24","And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons."
"asv","2","36","25","And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,"
"asv","2","36","26","and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board."
"asv","2","36","27","And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards."
"asv","2","36","28","And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part."
"asv","2","36","29","And they were double beneath; and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners."
"asv","2","36","30","And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets."
"asv","2","36","31","And he made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,"
"asv","2","36","32","and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward."
"asv","2","36","33","And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other."
"asv","2","36","34","And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold."
"asv","2","36","35","And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, made he it."
"asv","2","36","36","And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; And he cast for them four sockets of silver."
"asv","2","36","37","And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer;"
"asv","2","36","38","and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass."
"asv","2","37","1","And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:"
"asv","2","37","2","and he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about."
"asv","2","37","3","And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet thereof; even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it."
"asv","2","37","4","And he made staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold."
"asv","2","37","5","And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark."
"asv","2","37","6","And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half  was  the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof."
"asv","2","37","7","And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;"
"asv","2","37","8","one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof."
"asv","2","37","9","And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim."
"asv","2","37","10","And he made the table of acacia wood: two cubits  was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:"
"asv","2","37","11","and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about."
"asv","2","37","12","And he made unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border thereof round about."
"asv","2","37","13","And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet thereof."
"asv","2","37","14","Close by the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table."
"asv","2","37","15","And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table."
"asv","2","37","16","And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes thereof, and the spoons thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the flagons thereof, wherewith to pour out, of pure gold."
"asv","2","37","17","And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, it knops, and its flowers, were of one piece with it:"
"asv","2","37","18","and there were six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:"
"asv","2","37","19","three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower, and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick."
"asv","2","37","20","And in the candlestick were four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof;"
"asv","2","37","21","and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it."
"asv","2","37","22","Their knops and their branches were of one piece with it: the whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold."
"asv","2","37","23","And he made the lamps thereof, seven, and the snuffers thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, of pure gold."
"asv","2","37","24","Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof."
"asv","2","37","25","And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, foursquare; and two cubits was the height thereof; the horns thereof were of one piece with it."
"asv","2","37","26","And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: and he made unto it a crown of gold round about."
"asv","2","37","27","And he made for it two golden rings under the crown thereof, upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it, for places for staves wherewith to bear it."
"asv","2","37","28","And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold."
"asv","2","37","29","And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer."

"asv","2","38","2","And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with brass."
"asv","2","38","3","And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass."
"asv","2","38","4","And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up."
"asv","2","38","5","And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves."
"asv","2","38","6","And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass."
"asv","2","38","7","And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, wherewith to bear it; he made it hollow with planks."
"asv","2","38","8","And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","2","38","9","And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;"
"asv","2","38","10","their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver."
"asv","2","38","11","And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver."

"asv","2","38","18","And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court."
"asv","2","38","19","And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver."
"asv","2","38","20","And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass."
"asv","2","38","21","This is the sum of  the things for the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest."
"asv","2","38","22","And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","38","23","And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen."
"asv","2","38","24","All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary."
"asv","2","38","25","And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:"
"asv","2","38","26","a beka a head,  that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men."
"asv","2","38","27","And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket."
"asv","2","38","28","And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five  shekels  he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them."
"asv","2","38","29","And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels."
"asv","2","38","30","And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar,"
"asv","2","38","31","and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about."
"asv","2","39","1","And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","2","And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen."
"asv","2","39","3","And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skilful workman."
"asv","2","39","4","They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined together; at the two ends was it joined together."
"asv","2","39","5","And the skilfully woven band, that was upon it, wherewith to gird it on, was of the same piece  and like the work thereof; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","6","And they wrought the onyx stones, inclosed in settings of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel."
"asv","2","39","7","And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","8","And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen."
"asv","2","39","9","It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double."
"asv","2","39","10","And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;"
"asv","2","39","11","and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;"
"asv","2","39","12","and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;"
"asv","2","39","13","and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jaspar: they were inclosed in inclosings of gold in their settings."
"asv","2","39","14","And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes."
"asv","2","39","15","And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold."
"asv","2","39","16","And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate."
"asv","2","39","17","And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate."
"asv","2","39","18","And the  other two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof."
"asv","2","39","19","And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which was toward the side of the ephod inward."
"asv","2","39","20","And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod."
"asv","2","39","21","And they did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","22","And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue."
"asv","2","39","23","And the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent."
"asv","2","39","24","And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet,  and twined  linen."
"asv","2","39","25","And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about, between the pomegranates;"
"asv","2","39","26","a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","27","And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,"
"asv","2","39","28","and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly head-tires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,"
"asv","2","39","29","and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","30","And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH."
"asv","2","39","31","And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","39","32","Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children of Israel did according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses; so did they."
"asv","2","39","33","And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, it bars, and its pillars, and it sockets;"
"asv","2","39","34","and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the screen;"
"asv","2","39","35","the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat;"
"asv","2","39","36","the table, all the vessels thereof, and the showbread;"
"asv","2","39","37","the pure candlestick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for the light;"
"asv","2","39","38","and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the Tent;"
"asv","2","39","39","the brazen altar, and its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;"
"asv","2","39","40","the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;"
"asv","2","39","41","the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office."
"asv","2","39","42","According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work."
"asv","2","39","43","And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as Jehovah had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them."
"asv","2","40","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","2","40","2","On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting."
"asv","2","40","3","And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil."
"asv","2","40","4","And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof."
"asv","2","40","5","And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle."
"asv","2","40","6","And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting."
"asv","2","40","7","And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein."
"asv","2","40","8","And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court."
"asv","2","40","9","And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy."
"asv","2","40","10","And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy."
"asv","2","40","11","And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it."
"asv","2","40","12","And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water."
"asv","2","40","13","And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office."
"asv","2","40","14","And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them;"
"asv","2","40","15","and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."
"asv","2","40","16","Thus did Moses: according to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he."
"asv","2","40","17","And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up."
"asv","2","40","18","And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars."
"asv","2","40","19","And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","20","And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark:"
"asv","2","40","21","and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","22","And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil."
"asv","2","40","23","And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","24","And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward."
"asv","2","40","25","And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","26","And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:"
"asv","2","40","27","and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","28","And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle."
"asv","2","40","29","And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","30","And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash."
"asv","2","40","31","And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat;"
"asv","2","40","32","when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","2","40","33","And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work."
"asv","2","40","34","Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle."
"asv","2","40","35","And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle."
"asv","2","40","36","And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys:"
"asv","2","40","37","but if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up."
"asv","2","40","38","For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys."
"asv","3","1","1","And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying,"
"asv","3","1","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock."
"asv","3","1","3","If his oblation be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish: he shall offer it at the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before Jehovah."
"asv","3","1","4","And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him."
"asv","3","1","5","And he shall kill the bullock before Jehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","1","6","And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces."
"asv","3","1","7","And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire;"
"asv","3","1","8","and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:"
"asv","3","1","9","but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","1","10","And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering; he shall offer it a male without blemish."
"asv","3","1","11","And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah: and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","1","12","And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:"
"asv","3","1","13","but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water. And the priest shall offer the whole, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","1","14","And if his oblation to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of birds, then he shall offer his oblation of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons."
"asv","3","1","15","And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar;"
"asv","3","1","16","and he shall take away its crop with the filth thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes:"
"asv","3","1","17","and he shall rend it by the wings thereof,  but shall not divide it asunder. And the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","2","1","And when any one offereth an oblation of a meal-offering unto Jehovah, his oblation shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:"
"asv","3","2","2","and he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests; and he shall take thereout his handful of the fine flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof. And the priest shall burn  it as the memorial thereof upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah:"
"asv","3","2","3","and that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire."
"asv","3","2","4","And when thou offerest an oblation of a meal-offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil."
"asv","3","2","5","And if thy oblation be a meal-offering of the baking-pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil."
"asv","3","2","6","Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meal-offering."
"asv","3","2","7","And if thy oblation be a meal-offering of the frying-pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil."
"asv","3","2","8","And thou shalt bring the meal-offering that is made of these things unto Jehovah: and it shall be presented unto the priest, and he shall bring it unto the altar."
"asv","3","2","9","And the priest shall take up from the meal-offering the memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","2","10","And that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire."
"asv","3","2","11","No meal-offering, which ye shall offer unto Jehovah, shall be made with leaven; for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","2","12","As an oblation of first- fruits ye shall offer them unto Jehovah: but they shall not come up for a sweet savor on the altar."
"asv","3","2","13","And every oblation of thy meal-offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meal-offering: with all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt."
"asv","3","2","14","And if thou offer a meal-offering of first-fruits unto Jehovah, thou shalt offer for the meal-offering of thy first-fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear."
"asv","3","2","15","And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meal-offering."
"asv","3","2","16","And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the bruised grain thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","3","1","And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace-offerings; if he offer of the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before Jehovah."
"asv","3","3","2","And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation, and kill it at the door of the tent of meeting: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","3","3","And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,"
"asv","3","3","4","and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away."
"asv","3","3","5","And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt-offering, which is upon the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","3","6","And if his oblation for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish."
"asv","3","3","7","If he offer a lamb for his oblation, then shall he offer it before Jehovah;"
"asv","3","3","8","and he shall lay his hand upon the head of his oblation, and kill it before the tent of meeting: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","3","9","And he shall offer of the sacrifice of peace-offerings an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; the fat thereof, the fat tail entire, he shall take away hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,"
"asv","3","3","10","and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away."
"asv","3","3","11","And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","3","12","And if his oblation be a goat, then he shall offer it before Jehovah:"
"asv","3","3","13","and he shall lay his hand upon the head of it, and kill it before the tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","3","14","And he shall offer thereof his oblation,  even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,"
"asv","3","3","15","and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away."
"asv","3","3","16","And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savor; all the fat is Jehovah’s."
"asv","3","3","17","It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood."
"asv","3","4","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","4","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any one shall sin unwittingly, in any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them:"
"asv","3","4","3","if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto Jehovah for a sin-offering."
"asv","3","4","4","And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before Jehovah."
"asv","3","4","5","And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to the tent of meeting:"
"asv","3","4","6","and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary."
"asv","3","4","7","And the priest shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","4","8","And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,"
"asv","3","4","9","and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away,"
"asv","3","4","10","as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt-offering."
"asv","3","4","11","And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inwards, and its dung,"
"asv","3","4","12","even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt."
"asv","3","4","13","And if the whole congregation of Israel err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and are guilty;"
"asv","3","4","14","when the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","4","15","And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before Jehovah; and the bullock shall be killed before Jehovah."
"asv","3","4","16","And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting:"
"asv","3","4","17","and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Jehovah, before the veil."
"asv","3","4","18","And he shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, that is in the tent of meeting; and all the blood shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","4","19","And all the fat thereof shall he take off from it, and burn it upon the altar."
"asv","3","4","20","Thus shall he do with the bullock; as he did with the bullock of the sin-offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","4","21","And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock: it is the sin-offering for the assembly."
"asv","3","4","22","When a ruler sinneth, and doeth unwittingly any one of all the things which Jehovah his God hath commanded not to be done, and is guilty;"
"asv","3","4","23","if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a male without blemish."
"asv","3","4","24","And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering before Jehovah: it is a sin-offering."
"asv","3","4","25","And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering."
"asv","3","4","26","And all the fat thereof shall he burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","4","27","And if any one of the common people sin unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done, and be guilty;"
"asv","3","4","28","if his sin, which he hath sinned, be made known to him, then he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned."
"asv","3","4","29","And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and kill the sin-offering in the place of burnt-offering."
"asv","3","4","30","And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and all the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar."
"asv","3","4","31","And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor unto Jehovah; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","4","32","And if he bring a lamb as his oblation for a sin-offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish."
"asv","3","4","33","And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and kill it for a sin-offering in the place where they kill the burnt-offering."
"asv","3","4","34","And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and all the blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar."
"asv","3","4","35","And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, upon the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","5","1","And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter  it, then he shall bear his iniquity."
"asv","3","5","2","Or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty."
"asv","3","5","3","Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever his uncleanness be wherewith he is unclean, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty."
"asv","3","5","4","Or if any one swear rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these things."
"asv","3","5","5","And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these  things, that he shall confess that wherein he hath sinned:"
"asv","3","5","6","and he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin."
"asv","3","5","7","And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass-offering for that wherein he hath sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto Jehovah; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering."
"asv","3","5","8","And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it asunder:"
"asv","3","5","9","and he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar: it is a sin-offering."
"asv","3","5","10","And he shall offer the second for a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin which he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","5","11","But if his means suffice not for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his oblation for that wherein he hath sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering: he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon; for it is a sin-offering."
"asv","3","5","12","And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, upon the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: it is a sin-offering."
"asv","3","5","13","And the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in any of these things, and he shall be forgiven: and  the remnant shall be the priest’s, as the meal-offering."
"asv","3","5","14","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","5","15","If any one commit a trespass, and sin unwittingly, in the holy things of Jehovah; then he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering:"
"asv","3","5","16","and he shall make restitution for that which he hath done amiss in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","5","17","And if any one sin, and do any of the things which Jehovah hath commanded not to be done; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity."
"asv","3","5","18","And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing wherein he erred unwittingly and knew it not, and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","3","5","19","It is a trespass-offering: he is certainly guilty before Jehovah."
"asv","3","6","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","6","2","If any one sin, and commit a trespass against Jehovah, and deal falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or have oppressed his neighbor,"
"asv","3","6","3","or have found that which was lost, and deal falsely therein, and swear to a lie; in any of all these things that a man doeth, sinning therein;"
"asv","3","6","4","then it shall be, if he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he hath gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,"
"asv","3","6","5","or any thing about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in full, and shall add the fifth part more thereto: unto him to whom it appertaineth shall he give it, in the day of his being found guilty."
"asv","3","6","6","And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, a ram without blemish out of the flock, according to thy estimation, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest:"
"asv","3","6","7","and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah; and he shall be forgiven concerning whatsoever he doeth so as to be guilty thereby."
"asv","3","6","8","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","6","9","Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt-offering: the burnt-offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night unto the morning; and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning thereon."
"asv","3","6","10","And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh; and he shall take up the ashes whereto the fire hath consumed the burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar."
"asv","3","6","11","And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place."
"asv","3","6","12","And the fire upon the altar shall be kept burning thereon, it shall not go out; and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning: and he shall lay the burnt-offering in order upon it, and shall burn thereon the fat of the peace-offerings."
"asv","3","6","13","Fire shall be kept burning upon the altar continually; it shall not go out."
"asv","3","6","14","And this is the law of the meal-offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before Jehovah, before the altar."
"asv","3","6","15","And he shall take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour of the meal-offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal-offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor, as the memorial thereof, unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","6","16","And that which is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place; in the court of the tent of meeting they shall eat it."
"asv","3","6","17","It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it as their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as the sin-offering, and as the trespass-offering."
"asv","3","6","18","Every male among the children of Aaron shall eat of it, as  his  portion for ever throughout your generations, from the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: whosoever toucheth them shall be holy."
"asv","3","6","19","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","6","20","This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto Jehovah in the day when he is anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering perpetually, half of it in the morning, and half thereof in the evening."
"asv","3","6","21","On a baking-pan it shall be made with oil; when it is soaked, thou shalt bring it in: in baken pieces shalt thou offer the meal-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","6","22","And the anointed priest that shall be in his stead from among his sons shall offer it: by a statute for ever it shall be wholly burnt unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","6","23","And every meal-offering of the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten."
"asv","3","6","24","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","6","25","Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before Jehovah: it is most holy."
"asv","3","6","26","The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","6","27","Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a holy place."
"asv","3","6","28","But the earthen vessel wherein it is boiled shall be broken; and if it be boiled in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water."
"asv","3","6","29","Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy."
"asv","3","6","30","And no sin-offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt with fire."
"asv","3","7","1","And this is the law of the trespass-offering: it is most holy."
"asv","3","7","2","In the place where they kill the burnt-offering shall they kill the trespass-offering; and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","7","3","And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof: the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards,"
"asv","3","7","4","and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away;"
"asv","3","7","5","and the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: it is a trespass-offering."
"asv","3","7","6","Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in a holy place: it is most holy."
"asv","3","7","7","As is the sin-offering, so is the trespass-offering; there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith, he shall have it."
"asv","3","7","8","And the priest that offereth any man’s burnt-offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath offered."
"asv","3","7","9","And every meal-offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying-pan, and on the baking-pan, shall be the priest’s that offereth it."
"asv","3","7","10","And every meal-offering, mingled with oil, or dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as well as another."
"asv","3","7","11","And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which one shall offer unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","7","12","If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked."
"asv","3","7","13","With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation with the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving."
"asv","3","7","14","And of it he shall offer one out of each oblation for a heave-offering unto Jehovah; it shall be the priest’s that sprinkleth the blood of the peace-offerings."
"asv","3","7","15","And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his oblation; he shall not leave any of it until the morning."
"asv","3","7","16","But if the sacrifice of his oblation be a vow, or a freewill-offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offereth his sacrifice; and on the morrow that which remaineth of it shall be eaten:"
"asv","3","7","17","but that which remaineth of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire."
"asv","3","7","18","And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings be eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity."
"asv","3","7","19","And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire. And as for the flesh, every one that is clean shall eat thereof:"
"asv","3","7","20","but the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, that pertain unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","7","21","And when any one shall touch any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean beast, or any unclean abomination, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which pertain unto Jehovah, that soul shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","7","22","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","7","23","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat."
"asv","3","7","24","And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service; but ye shall in no wise eat of it."
"asv","3","7","25","For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","7","26","And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings."
"asv","3","7","27","Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","7","28","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","7","29","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace-offerings unto Jehovah shall bring his oblation unto Jehovah out of the sacrifice of his peace-offerings:"
"asv","3","7","30","his own hands shall bring the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah."
"asv","3","7","31","And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’."
"asv","3","7","32","And the right thigh shall ye give unto the priest for a heave-offering out of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings."
"asv","3","7","33","He among the sons of Aaron that offereth the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion."
"asv","3","7","34","For the wave-breast and the heave-thigh have I taken of the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons as  their portion for ever from the children of Israel."
"asv","3","7","35","This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Jehovah in the priest’s office;"
"asv","3","7","36","which Jehovah commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is  their portion for ever throughout their generations."
"asv","3","7","37","This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meal-offering, and of the sin-offering, and of the trespass-offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace-offerings;"
"asv","3","7","38","which Jehovah commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai."
"asv","3","8","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","8","2","Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bullock of the sin-offering, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread;"
"asv","3","8","3","and assemble thou all the congregation at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","8","4","And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and the congregation was assembled at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","8","5","And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded to be done."
"asv","3","8","6","And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water."
"asv","3","8","7","And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith."
"asv","3","8","8","And he placed the breastplate upon him: and in the breastplate he put the Urim and the Thummim."
"asv","3","8","9","And he set the mitre upon his head; and upon the mitre, in front, did he set the golden plate, the holy crown; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","8","10","And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them."
"asv","3","8","11","And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, to sanctify them."
"asv","3","8","12","And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him."
"asv","3","8","13","And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and clothed them with coats, and girded them with girdles, and bound head-tires upon them; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","8","14","And he brought the bullock of the sin-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock of the sin-offering."
"asv","3","8","15","And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar, and sanctified it, to make atonement for it."
"asv","3","8","16","And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat; and Moses burned it upon the altar."
"asv","3","8","17","But the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","8","18","And he presented the ram of the burnt-offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram."
"asv","3","8","19","And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","8","20","And he cut the ram into its pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat."
"asv","3","8","21","And he washed the inwards and the legs with water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt-offering for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","8","22","And he presented the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram."
"asv","3","8","23","And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood thereof, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot."
"asv","3","8","24","And he brought Aaron’s sons; and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","8","25","And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right thigh:"
"asv","3","8","26","and out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before Jehovah, he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and placed them on the fat, and upon the right thigh:"
"asv","3","8","27","and he put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and waved them for a wave-offering before Jehovah."
"asv","3","8","28","And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt-offering: they were a consecration for a sweet savor: it was an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","8","29","And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: it was Moses’ portion of the ram of consecration; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","8","30","And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him."
"asv","3","8","31","And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tent of meeting: and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket of consecration, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it."
"asv","3","8","32","And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire."
"asv","3","8","33","And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting seven days, until the days of your consecration be fulfilled: for he shall consecrate you seven days."
"asv","3","8","34","As hath been done this day, so Jehovah hath commanded to do, to make atonement for you."
"asv","3","8","35","And at the door of the tent of meeting shall ye abide day and night seven days, and keep the charge of Jehovah, that ye die not: for so I am commanded."
"asv","3","8","36","And Aaron and his sons did all the things which Jehovah commanded by Moses."
"asv","3","9","1","And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;"
"asv","3","9","2","and he said unto Aaron, Take thee a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and offer them before Jehovah."
"asv","3","9","3","And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a he-goat for a sin-offering; and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, without blemish, for a burnt-offering;"
"asv","3","9","4","and an ox and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah; and a meal-offering mingled with oil: for to-day Jehovah appeareth unto you."
"asv","3","9","5","And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting: and all the congregation drew near and stood before Jehovah."
"asv","3","9","6","And Moses said, This is the thing which Jehovah commanded that ye should do: and the glory of Jehovah shall appear unto you."
"asv","3","9","7","And Moses said unto Aaron, Draw near unto the altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make atonement for thyself, and for the people; and offer the oblation of the people, and make atonement for them; as Jehovah commanded."
"asv","3","9","8","So Aaron drew near unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which was for himself."
"asv","3","9","9","And the sons of Aaron presented the blood unto him; and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the base of the altar:"
"asv","3","9","10","but the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul from the liver of the sin-offering, he burnt upon the altar; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","9","11","And the flesh and the skin he burnt with fire without the camp."
"asv","3","9","12","And he slew the burnt-offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, and he sprinkled it upon the altar round about."
"asv","3","9","13","And they delivered the burnt-offering unto him, piece by piece, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar."
"asv","3","9","14","And he washed the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt-offering on the altar."
"asv","3","9","15","And he presented the people’s oblation, and took the goat of the sin-offering which was for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first."
"asv","3","9","16","And he presented the burnt-offering, and offered it according to the ordinance."
"asv","3","9","17","And he presented the meal-offering, and filled his hand therefrom, and burnt it upon the altar, besides the burnt-offering of the morning."
"asv","3","9","18","He slew also the ox and the ram, the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,"
"asv","3","9","19","and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fat tail, and that which covereth  the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul of the liver:"
"asv","3","9","20","and they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:"
"asv","3","9","21","and the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah; as Moses commanded."
"asv","3","9","22","And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings."
"asv","3","9","23","And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the people."
"asv","3","9","24","And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and consumed upon the altar the burnt-offering and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell on their faces."
"asv","3","10","1","And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them."
"asv","3","10","2","And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah."
"asv","3","10","3","Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace."
"asv","3","10","4","And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp."
"asv","3","10","5","So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said."
"asv","3","10","6","And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled."
"asv","3","10","7","And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses."
"asv","3","10","8","And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","3","10","9","Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:"
"asv","3","10","10","and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;"
"asv","3","10","11","and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by Moses."
"asv","3","10","12","And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;"
"asv","3","10","13","and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons’ portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded."
"asv","3","10","14","And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy portion, and thy sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel."
"asv","3","10","15","The heave-thigh and the wave-breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, as a portion for ever; as Jehovah hath commanded."
"asv","3","10","16","And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,"
"asv","3","10","17","Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?"
"asv","3","10","18","Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded."
"asv","3","10","19","And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?"
"asv","3","10","20","And when Moses heard  that, it was well-pleasing in his sight."
"asv","3","11","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,"
"asv","3","11","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth."
"asv","3","11","3","Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted,  and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat."
"asv","3","11","4","Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","5","And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","6","And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","7","And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","8","Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","9","These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat."
"asv","3","11","10","And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,"
"asv","3","11","11","and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination."
"asv","3","11","12","Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you."
"asv","3","11","13","And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,"
"asv","3","11","14","and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,"
"asv","3","11","15","every raven after its kind,"
"asv","3","11","16","and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,"
"asv","3","11","17","and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,"
"asv","3","11","18","and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,"
"asv","3","11","19","and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat."
"asv","3","11","20","All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you."
"asv","3","11","21","Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;"
"asv","3","11","22","even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind."
"asv","3","11","23","But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you."
"asv","3","11","24","And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;"
"asv","3","11","25","and whosoever beareth  aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","11","26","Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean."
"asv","3","11","27","And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","11","28","And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","29","And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,"
"asv","3","11","30","and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon."
"asv","3","11","31","These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","11","32","And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean."
"asv","3","11","33","And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break."
"asv","3","11","34","All food  therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every  such  vessel shall be unclean."
"asv","3","11","35","And every thing whereupon  any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","36","Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean."
"asv","3","11","37","And if  aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean."
"asv","3","11","38","But if water be put upon the seed, and  aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you."
"asv","3","11","39","And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","11","40","And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","11","41","And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten."
"asv","3","11","42","Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination."
"asv","3","11","43","Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby."
"asv","3","11","44","For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth."
"asv","3","11","45","For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy."
"asv","3","11","46","This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;"
"asv","3","11","47","to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten."
"asv","3","12","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","12","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean."
"asv","3","12","3","And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised."
"asv","3","12","4","And she shall continue in the blood of  her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled."
"asv","3","12","5","But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and she shall continue in the blood of  her purifying threescore and six days."
"asv","3","12","6","And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest:"
"asv","3","12","7","and he shall offer it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether a male or a female."
"asv","3","12","8","And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean."
"asv","3","13","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","3","13","2","When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:"
"asv","3","13","3","and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and if the hair in the plague be turned white, and the appearance of the plague be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean."
"asv","3","13","4","And if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, then the priest shall shut up  him that hath the plague seven days:"
"asv","3","13","5","and the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if in his eyes the plague be at a stay, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:"
"asv","3","13","6","and the priest shall look on him again the seventh day; and, behold, if the plague be dim, and the plague be not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean."
"asv","3","13","7","But if the scab spread abroad in the skin, after that he hath showed himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again:"
"asv","3","13","8","and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy."
"asv","3","13","9","When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;"
"asv","3","13","10","and the priest shall look; and, behold, if there be a white rising in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising,"
"asv","3","13","11","it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: he shall not shut him up; for he is unclean."
"asv","3","13","12","And if the leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of  him that hath the plague from his head even to his feet, as far as appeareth to the priest;"
"asv","3","13","13","then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce  him clean  that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean."
"asv","3","13","14","But whensoever raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean."
"asv","3","13","15","And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean: it is leprosy."
"asv","3","13","16","Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, then he shall come unto the priest;"
"asv","3","13","17","and the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the plague be turned into white, then the priest shall pronounce  him clean  that hath the plague: he is clean."
"asv","3","13","18","And when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a boil, and it is healed,"
"asv","3","13","19","and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then is shall be showed to the priest;"
"asv","3","13","20","and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy, it hath broken out in the boil."
"asv","3","13","21","But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and it be not lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:"
"asv","3","13","22","and if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague."
"asv","3","13","23","But if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean."
"asv","3","13","24","Or when the flesh hath in the skin thereof a burning by fire, and the quick  flesh of the burning become a bright spot, reddish-white, or white;"
"asv","3","13","25","then the priest shall look upon it; and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin; it is leprosy, it hath broken out in the burning: and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy."
"asv","3","13","26","But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the skin, but be dim; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:"
"asv","3","13","27","and the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: if it spread abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy."
"asv","3","13","28","And if the bright spot stay in its place, and be not spread in the skin, but be dim; it is the rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is the scar of the burning."
"asv","3","13","29","And when a man or woman hath a plague upon the head or upon the beard,"
"asv","3","13","30","then the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the appearance thereof be deeper than the skin, and there be in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a scall, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard."
"asv","3","13","31","And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin, and there be no black hair in it, then the priest shall shut up  him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:"
"asv","3","13","32","and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the scall be not spread, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the appearance of the scall be not deeper than the skin,"
"asv","3","13","33","then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up  him that hath the scall seven days more:"
"asv","3","13","34","and in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall; and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, and the appearance thereof be not deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean."
"asv","3","13","35","But if the scall spread abroad in the skin after his cleansing,"
"asv","3","13","36","then the priest shall look on him; and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for the yellow hair; he is unclean."
"asv","3","13","37","But if in his eyes the scall be at a stay, and black hair be grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean."
"asv","3","13","38","And when a man or a woman hath in the skin of the flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;"
"asv","3","13","39","then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be of a dull white, it is a tetter, it hath broken out in the skin; he is clean."
"asv","3","13","40","And if a man’s hair be fallen off his head, he is bald;  yet  is he clean."
"asv","3","13","41","And if his hair be fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald;  yet is he clean."
"asv","3","13","42","But if there be in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead."
"asv","3","13","43","Then the priest shall look upon him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague be reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh;"
"asv","3","13","44","he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his plague is in his head."
"asv","3","13","45","And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean."
"asv","3","13","46","All the days wherein the plague is in him he shall be unclean; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his dwelling be."
"asv","3","13","47","The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;"
"asv","3","13","48","whether it be in warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in anything made of skin;"
"asv","3","13","49","if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be showed unto the priest."
"asv","3","13","50","And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up  that which hath the plague seven days:"
"asv","3","13","51","and he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever service skin is used for; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean."
"asv","3","13","52","And he shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in woollen or in linen, or anything of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire."
"asv","3","13","53","And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;"
"asv","3","13","54","then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:"
"asv","3","13","55","and the priest shall look, after that the plague is washed; and, behold, if the plague have not changed its color, and the plague be not spread, it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire: it is a fret, whether the bareness be within or without."
"asv","3","13","56","And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be dim after the washing thereof, then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:"
"asv","3","13","57","and if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is breaking out: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire."
"asv","3","13","58","And the garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean."
"asv","3","13","59","This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean."
"asv","3","14","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","14","2","This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the priest:"
"asv","3","14","3","and the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look; and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper,"
"asv","3","14","4","then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:"
"asv","3","14","5","and the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water."
"asv","3","14","6","As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:"
"asv","3","14","7","and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let go the living bird into the open field."
"asv","3","14","8","And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days."
"asv","3","14","9","And it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and he shall be clean."
"asv","3","14","10","And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenth parts  of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil."
"asv","3","14","11","And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","14","12","And the priest shall take one of the he-lambs, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah:"
"asv","3","14","13","and he shall kill the he-lamb in the place where they kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the place of the sanctuary: for as the sin-offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass-offering: it is most holy."
"asv","3","14","14","And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot."
"asv","3","14","15","And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand;"
"asv","3","14","16","and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah."
"asv","3","14","17","And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass-offering:"

"asv","3","14","19","And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt-offering;"
"asv","3","14","20","and the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the meal-offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean."
"asv","3","14","21","And if he be poor, and cannot get so much, then he shall take one he-lamb for a trespass-offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth part  of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering, and a log of oil;"
"asv","3","14","22","and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering."
"asv","3","14","23","And on the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah:"
"asv","3","14","24","and the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah."
"asv","3","14","25","And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot."
"asv","3","14","26","And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;"
"asv","3","14","27","and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Jehovah:"
"asv","3","14","28","and the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass-offering:"
"asv","3","14","29","and the rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Jehovah."
"asv","3","14","30","And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to get,"
"asv","3","14","31","even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, with the meal-offering: and the priest shall make atonement for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah."
"asv","3","14","32","This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to get  that which pertaineth to his cleansing."
"asv","3","14","33","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","3","14","34","When ye are come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;"
"asv","3","14","35","then he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, There seemeth to me to be as it were a plague in the house."
"asv","3","14","36","And the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goeth in to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:"
"asv","3","14","37","and he shall look on the plague; and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and the appearance thereof be lower than the wall;"
"asv","3","14","38","then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days."
"asv","3","14","39","And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;"
"asv","3","14","40","then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which the plague is, and cast them into an unclean place without the city:"
"asv","3","14","41","and he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scrape off, without the city into an unclean place:"
"asv","3","14","42","and they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house."
"asv","3","14","43","And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken out the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;"
"asv","3","14","44","then the priest shall come in and look; and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean."
"asv","3","14","45","And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place."
"asv","3","14","46","Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","14","47","And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes."
"asv","3","14","48","And if the priest shall come in, and look, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered; then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed."
"asv","3","14","49","And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:"
"asv","3","14","50","and he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:"
"asv","3","14","51","and he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:"
"asv","3","14","52","and he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:"
"asv","3","14","53","but he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open field: so shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean."
"asv","3","14","54","This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and for a scall,"
"asv","3","14","55","and for the leprosy of a garment, and for a house,"
"asv","3","14","56","and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;"
"asv","3","14","57","to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy."
"asv","3","15","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,"
"asv","3","15","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath an issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean."
"asv","3","15","3","And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness."
"asv","3","15","4","Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean; and everything whereon he sitteth shall be unclean."
"asv","3","15","5","And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","6","And he that sitteth on anything whereon he that hath the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","7","And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","8","And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","9","And what saddle soever he that hath the issue rideth upon shall be unclean."
"asv","3","15","10","And whosoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","11","And whomsoever he that hath the issue toucheth, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","12","And the earthen vessel, which he that hath the issue toucheth, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water."
"asv","3","15","13","And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean."
"asv","3","15","14","And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah unto the door of the tent of meeting, and give them unto the priest:"
"asv","3","15","15","and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah for his issue."
"asv","3","15","16","And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","17","And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","18","The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","19","And if a woman have an issue,  and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","20","And everything that she lieth upon in her impurity shall be unclean: everything also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean."
"asv","3","15","21","And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","22","And whosoever toucheth anything that she sitteth upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","23","And if it be on the bed, or on anything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","24","And if any man lie with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean."
"asv","3","15","25","And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean."
"asv","3","15","26","Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity: and everything whereon she sitteth shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity."
"asv","3","15","27","And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even."
"asv","3","15","28","But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean."
"asv","3","15","29","And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","15","30","And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah for the issue of her uncleanness."
"asv","3","15","31","Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them."
"asv","3","15","32","This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth from him, so that he is unclean thereby;"
"asv","3","15","33","and of her that is sick with her impurity, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean."
"asv","3","16","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before Jehovah, and died;"
"asv","3","16","2","and Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat."
"asv","3","16","3","Herewith shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering."
"asv","3","16","4","He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: they are the holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on."
"asv","3","16","5","And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering."
"asv","3","16","6","And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house."
"asv","3","16","7","And he shall take the two goats, and set them before Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","3","16","8","And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel."
"asv","3","16","9","And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for Jehovah, and offer him for a sin-offering."
"asv","3","16","10","But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before Jehovah, to make atonement for him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness."
"asv","3","16","11","And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself."
"asv","3","16","12","And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:"
"asv","3","16","13","and he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:"
"asv","3","16","14","and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times."
"asv","3","16","15","Then shall he kill the goat of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat:"
"asv","3","16","16","and he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins: and so shall he do for the tent of meeting, that dwelleth with them in the midst of their uncleannesses."
"asv","3","16","17","And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel."
"asv","3","16","18","And he shall go out unto the altar that is before Jehovah, and make atonement for it, and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about."
"asv","3","16","19","And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel."
"asv","3","16","20","And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat:"
"asv","3","16","21","and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a man that is in readiness into the wilderness:"
"asv","3","16","22","and the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a solitary land: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness."
"asv","3","16","23","And Aaron shall come into the tent of meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:"
"asv","3","16","24","and he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people."
"asv","3","16","25","And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar."
"asv","3","16","26","And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp."
"asv","3","16","27","And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be carried forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung."
"asv","3","16","28","And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp."
"asv","3","16","29","And it shall be a statute for ever unto you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and shall do no manner of work, the home-born, or the stranger that sojourneth among you:"
"asv","3","16","30","for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before Jehovah."
"asv","3","16","31","It is a sabbath of solemn rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; it is a statute for ever."
"asv","3","16","32","And the priest, who shall be anointed and who shall be consecrated to be priest in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments:"
"asv","3","16","33","and he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly."
"asv","3","16","34","And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel because of all their sins once in the year. And he did as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","17","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","17","2","Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them: This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,"
"asv","3","17","3","What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it without the camp,"
"asv","3","17","4","and hath not brought it unto the door of the tent of meeting, to offer it as an oblation unto Jehovah before the tabernacle of Jehovah: blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:"
"asv","3","17","5","to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace-offerings unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","17","6","And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Jehovah at the door of the tent of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","17","7","And they shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices unto the he-goats, after which they play the harlot. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations."
"asv","3","17","8","And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that offereth a burnt-offering or sacrifice,"
"asv","3","17","9","and bringeth it not unto the door of the tent of meeting, to sacrifice it unto Jehovah; that man shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","17","10","And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, that eateth any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people."
"asv","3","17","11","For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life."
"asv","3","17","12","Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood."
"asv","3","17","13","And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among them, who taketh in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust."
"asv","3","17","14","For as to the life of all flesh, the blood thereof is  all one  with the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh; for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off."
"asv","3","17","15","And every soul that eateth that which dieth of itself, or that which is torn of beasts, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean."
"asv","3","17","16","But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity."
"asv","3","18","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","18","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","18","3","After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes."
"asv","3","18","4","Mine ordinances shall ye do, and my statutes shall ye keep, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","18","5","Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and mine ordinances; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","18","6","None of you shall approach to any that are near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","18","7","The nakedness of thy father, even the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness."
"asv","3","18","8","The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover; it is thy father’s nakedness."
"asv","3","18","9","The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or the daughter of thy mother, whether born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover."
"asv","3","18","10","The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness."
"asv","3","18","11","The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness."
"asv","3","18","12","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman."
"asv","3","18","13","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman."
"asv","3","18","14","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt."
"asv","3","18","15","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness."
"asv","3","18","16","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness."
"asv","3","18","17","Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; thou shalt not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness."
"asv","3","18","18","And thou shalt not take a wife to her sister, to be a rival  to her, to uncover her nakedness, besides the other in her life-time."
"asv","3","18","19","And thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness."
"asv","3","18","20","And thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with her."
"asv","3","18","21","And thou shalt not give any of thy seed to make them pass through the fire to Molech; neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","18","22","Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
"asv","3","18","23","And thou shalt not lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast, to lie down thereto: it is confusion."
"asv","3","18","24","Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;"
"asv","3","18","25","And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants."
"asv","3","18","26","Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you"
"asv","3","18","27","(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);"
"asv","3","18","28","that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you."
"asv","3","18","29","For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people."
"asv","3","18","30","Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","19","2","Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy."
"asv","3","19","3","Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","4","Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","5","And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted."
"asv","3","19","6","It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire."
"asv","3","19","7","And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted:"
"asv","3","19","8","but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","19","9","And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest."
"asv","3","19","10","And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","11","Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another."
"asv","3","19","12","And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","13","Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning."
"asv","3","19","14","Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","15","Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor."
"asv","3","19","16","Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","17","Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him."
"asv","3","19","18","Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","19","Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed: neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together."
"asv","3","19","20","And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free."
"asv","3","19","21","And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering."
"asv","3","19","22","And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned: and the sin which he hath sinned shall be forgiven him."
"asv","3","19","23","And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten."
"asv","3","19","24","But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","25","And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","26","Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practise augury."
"asv","3","19","27","Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."
"asv","3","19","28","Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","29","Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness."
"asv","3","19","30","Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","31","Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto the wizards; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","32","Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","19","33","And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong."
"asv","3","19","34","The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","19","35","Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity."
"asv","3","19","36","Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","3","19","37","And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","20","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","20","2","Moreover, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones."
"asv","3","20","3","I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name."
"asv","3","20","4","And if the people at the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and put him not to death;"
"asv","3","20","5","then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that play the harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech, from among their people."
"asv","3","20","6","And the soul that turneth unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people."
"asv","3","20","7","Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","20","8","And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you."
"asv","3","20","9","For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him."
"asv","3","20","10","And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."
"asv","3","20","11","And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
"asv","3","20","12","And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them."
"asv","3","20","13","And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
"asv","3","20","14","And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you."
"asv","3","20","15","And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast."
"asv","3","20","16","And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
"asv","3","20","17","And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity."
"asv","3","20","18","And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath made naked her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people."
"asv","3","20","19","And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister, nor of thy father’s sister; for he hath made naked his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity."
"asv","3","20","20","And if a man shall lie with his uncle’s wife, he hath uncovered his uncle’s nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless."
"asv","3","20","21","And if a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is impurity: he hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be childless."
"asv","3","20","22","Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, vomit you not out."
"asv","3","20","23","And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them."
"asv","3","20","24","But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples."
"asv","3","20","25","Ye shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything wherewith the ground teemeth, which I have separated from you as unclean."
"asv","3","20","26","And ye shall be holy unto me: for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine."
"asv","3","20","27","A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them."
"asv","3","21","1","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people;"
"asv","3","21","2","except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,"
"asv","3","21","3","and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband; for her may he defile himself."
"asv","3","21","4","He shall not defile himself,  being a chief man among his people, to profane himself."
"asv","3","21","5","They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh."
"asv","3","21","6","They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy."
"asv","3","21","7","They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God."
"asv","3","21","8","Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee; for I Jehovah, who sanctify you, am holy."
"asv","3","21","9","And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the harlot, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."
"asv","3","21","10","And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor rend his clothes;"
"asv","3","21","11","neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother;"
"asv","3","21","12","neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","21","13","And he shall take a wife in her virginity."
"asv","3","21","14","A widow, or one divorced, or a profane woman, a harlot, these shall he not take: but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife."
"asv","3","21","15","And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth him."
"asv","3","21","16","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","21","17","Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God."
"asv","3","21","18","For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous,"
"asv","3","21","19","or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,"
"asv","3","21","20","or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;"
"asv","3","21","21","no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God."
"asv","3","21","22","He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy:"
"asv","3","21","23","only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them."
"asv","3","21","24","So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel."
"asv","3","22","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","22","2","Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","3","Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","4","What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;"
"asv","3","22","5","or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;"
"asv","3","22","6","the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water."
"asv","3","22","7","And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread."
"asv","3","22","8","That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","9","They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them."
"asv","3","22","10","There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing."
"asv","3","22","11","But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread."
"asv","3","22","12","And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things."
"asv","3","22","13","But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof."
"asv","3","22","14","And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing."
"asv","3","22","15","And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,"
"asv","3","22","16","and  so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them."
"asv","3","22","17","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","22","18","Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;"
"asv","3","22","19","that ye may be accepted,  ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats."
"asv","3","22","20","But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you."
"asv","3","22","21","And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein."
"asv","3","22","22","Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","23","Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted."
"asv","3","22","24","That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do  thus in your land."
"asv","3","22","25","Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you."
"asv","3","22","26","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","22","27","When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","28","And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day."
"asv","3","22","29","And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted."
"asv","3","22","30","On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","31","Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","22","32","And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,"
"asv","3","22","33","who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","23","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts."
"asv","3","23","3","Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto Jehovah in all your dwellings."
"asv","3","23","4","These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season."
"asv","3","23","5","In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah’s passover."
"asv","3","23","6","And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread."
"asv","3","23","7","In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work."
"asv","3","23","8","But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work."
"asv","3","23","9","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","23","10","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest:"
"asv","3","23","11","and he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it."
"asv","3","23","12","And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","13","And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts  of an ephah  of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin."
"asv","3","23","14","And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings."
"asv","3","23","15","And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete:"
"asv","3","23","16","even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","17","Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts  of an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for first-fruits unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","18","And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","19","And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings."
"asv","3","23","20","And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before Jehovah, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Jehovah for the priest."
"asv","3","23","21","And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations."
"asv","3","23","22","And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","23","23","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","23","24","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation."
"asv","3","23","25","Ye shall do no servile work; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","26","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","23","27","Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","28","And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","23","29","For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people."
"asv","3","23","30","And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people."
"asv","3","23","31","Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings."
"asv","3","23","32","It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath."
"asv","3","23","33","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","23","34","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","35","On the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work."
"asv","3","23","36","Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work."
"asv","3","23","37","These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;"
"asv","3","23","38","besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which ye give unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","23","39","Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest."
"asv","3","23","40","And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God seven days."
"asv","3","23","41","And ye shall keep it a feast unto Jehovah seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventh month."
"asv","3","23","42","Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;"
"asv","3","23","43","that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","23","44","And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the set feasts of Jehovah."
"asv","3","24","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","24","2","Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually."
"asv","3","24","3","Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations."
"asv","3","24","4","He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually."
"asv","3","24","5","And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts  of an ephah shall be in one cake."
"asv","3","24","6","And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah."
"asv","3","24","7","And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","24","8","Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant."
"asv","3","24","9","And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute."
"asv","3","24","10","And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:"
"asv","3","24","11","and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan."
"asv","3","24","12","And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah."
"asv","3","24","13","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","24","14","Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him."
"asv","3","24","15","And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin."
"asv","3","24","16","And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name  of Jehovah, shall be put to death."
"asv","3","24","17","And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death."
"asv","3","24","18","And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life."
"asv","3","24","19","And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:"
"asv","3","24","20","breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him."
"asv","3","24","21","And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death."
"asv","3","24","22","Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","24","23","And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","3","25","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,"
"asv","3","25","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","25","3","Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof;"
"asv","3","25","4","but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto Jehovah: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard."
"asv","3","25","5","That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land."
"asv","3","25","6","And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourn with thee."
"asv","3","25","7","And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food."
"asv","3","25","8","And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years."
"asv","3","25","9","Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land."
"asv","3","25","10","And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
"asv","3","25","11","A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather  the grapes  in it of the undressed vines."
"asv","3","25","12","For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field."
"asv","3","25","13","In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession."
"asv","3","25","14","And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of thy neighbor’s hand, ye shall not wrong one another."
"asv","3","25","15","According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor,  and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee."
"asv","3","25","16","According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee."
"asv","3","25","17","And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","25","18","Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety."
"asv","3","25","19","And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety."
"asv","3","25","20","And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;"
"asv","3","25","21","then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years."
"asv","3","25","22","And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until its fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store."
"asv","3","25","23","And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me."
"asv","3","25","24","And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land."
"asv","3","25","25","If thy brother be waxed poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold."
"asv","3","25","26","And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxed rich and find sufficient to redeem it;"
"asv","3","25","27","then let him reckon the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession."
"asv","3","25","28","But if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession."
"asv","3","25","29","And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption."
"asv","3","25","30","And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee."
"asv","3","25","31","But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee."
"asv","3","25","32","Nevertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time."
"asv","3","25","33","And if one of the Levites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel."
"asv","3","25","34","But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession."
"asv","3","25","35","And if thy brother be waxed poor, and his hand fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him:  as a stranger and a sojourner shall he live with thee."
"asv","3","25","36","Take thou no interest of him or increase, but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee."
"asv","3","25","37","Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give him thy victuals for increase."
"asv","3","25","38","I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan,  and to be your God."
"asv","3","25","39","And if thy brother be waxed poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as a bond-servant."
"asv","3","25","40","As a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubilee:"
"asv","3","25","41","then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return."
"asv","3","25","42","For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen."
"asv","3","25","43","Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God."
"asv","3","25","44","And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids."
"asv","3","25","45","Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land: and they shall be your possession."
"asv","3","25","46","And ye shall make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them shall ye take your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigor."
"asv","3","25","47","And if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxed rich, and thy brother be waxed poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger  or  sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family;"
"asv","3","25","48","after that he is sold he may be redeemed: one of his brethren may redeem him;"
"asv","3","25","49","or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxed rich, he may redeem himself."
"asv","3","25","50","And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him."
"asv","3","25","51","If there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for."
"asv","3","25","52","And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption."
"asv","3","25","53","As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight."
"asv","3","25","54","And if he be not redeemed by these  means, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he, and his children with him."
"asv","3","25","55","For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","26","1","Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","3","26","2","Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","26","3","If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;"
"asv","3","26","4","then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit."
"asv","3","26","5","And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely."
"asv","3","26","6","And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land."
"asv","3","26","7","And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword."
"asv","3","26","8","And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword."
"asv","3","26","9","And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you."
"asv","3","26","10","And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new."
"asv","3","26","11","And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you."
"asv","3","26","12","And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people."
"asv","3","26","13","I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright."
"asv","3","26","14","But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;"
"asv","3","26","15","and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;"
"asv","3","26","16","I also will do this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it."
"asv","3","26","17","And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you."
"asv","3","26","18","And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins."
"asv","3","26","19","And I will break the pride of your power: and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass;"
"asv","3","26","20","and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit."
"asv","3","26","21","And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins."
"asv","3","26","22","And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate."
"asv","3","26","23","And if by these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me;"
"asv","3","26","24","then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins."
"asv","3","26","25","And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy."
"asv","3","26","26","When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied."
"asv","3","26","27","And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;"
"asv","3","26","28","then I will walk contrary unto you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins."
"asv","3","26","29","And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat."
"asv","3","26","30","And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you."
"asv","3","26","31","And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors."
"asv","3","26","32","And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it."
"asv","3","26","33","And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste."
"asv","3","26","34","Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths."
"asv","3","26","35","As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it."
"asv","3","26","36","And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth."
"asv","3","26","37","And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies."
"asv","3","26","38","And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up."
"asv","3","26","39","And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them."
"asv","3","26","40","And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary unto me,"
"asv","3","26","41","I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity;"
"asv","3","26","42","then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land."
"asv","3","26","43","The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes."
"asv","3","26","44","And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Jehovah their God;"
"asv","3","26","45","but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah."
"asv","3","26","46","These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by Moses."
"asv","3","27","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","3","27","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for Jehovah by thy estimation."
"asv","3","27","3","And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary."
"asv","3","27","4","And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels."
"asv","3","27","5","And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels."
"asv","3","27","6","And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver."
"asv","3","27","7","And if it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels."
"asv","3","27","8","But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him that vowed shall the priest value him."
"asv","3","27","9","And if it be a beast, whereof men offer an oblation unto Jehovah, all that any man giveth of such unto Jehovah shall be holy."
"asv","3","27","10","He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy."
"asv","3","27","11","And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer an oblation unto Jehovah, then he shall set the beast before the priest;"
"asv","3","27","12","and the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be."
"asv","3","27","13","But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy estimation."
"asv","3","27","14","And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand."
"asv","3","27","15","And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his."
"asv","3","27","16","And if a man shall sanctify unto Jehovah part of the field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the sowing thereof: the sowing of a homer of barley  shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver."
"asv","3","27","17","If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy estimation it shall stand."
"asv","3","27","18","But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from thy estimation."
"asv","3","27","19","And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him."
"asv","3","27","20","And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more:"
"asv","3","27","21","but the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto Jehovah, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest’s."
"asv","3","27","22","And if he sanctify unto Jehovah a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession;"
"asv","3","27","23","then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation unto the year of jubilee: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","27","24","In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth."
"asv","3","27","25","And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel."
"asv","3","27","26","Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah’s."
"asv","3","27","27","And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation."
"asv","3","27","28","Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Jehovah of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","27","29","No one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death."
"asv","3","27","30","And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah’s: it is holy unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","27","31","And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof."
"asv","3","27","32","And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Jehovah."
"asv","3","27","33","He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed."
"asv","3","27","34","These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai."
"asv","4","1","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,"
"asv","4","1","2","Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, by their polls;"
"asv","4","1","3","from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel, thou and Aaron shall number them by their hosts."
"asv","4","1","4","And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of his fathers’ house."
"asv","4","1","5","And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you. Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur."
"asv","4","1","6","Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai."
"asv","4","1","7","Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab."
"asv","4","1","8","Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar."

"asv","4","1","15","Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan."
"asv","4","1","16","These are they that were called of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel."
"asv","4","1","17","And Moses and Aaron took these men that are mentioned by name:"
"asv","4","1","18","and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls."
"asv","4","1","19","As Jehovah commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai."
"asv","4","1","20","And the children of Reuben, Israel’s first-born, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;"
"asv","4","1","21","those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred."
"asv","4","1","22","Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, those that were numbered thereof, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;"

"asv","4","1","32","Of the children of Joseph,  namely, of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;"
"asv","4","1","33","those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred."
"asv","4","1","34","Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;"
"asv","4","1","35","those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred."

"asv","4","1","44","These are they that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each one for his fathers’ house."
"asv","4","1","45","So all they that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;"
"asv","4","1","46","even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty."
"asv","4","1","47","But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them."
"asv","4","1","48","For Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","1","49","Only the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, neither shalt thou take the sum of them among the children of Israel;"
"asv","4","1","50","but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle."
"asv","4","1","51","And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
"asv","4","1","52","And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts."
"asv","4","1","53","But the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony."
"asv","4","1","54","Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did they."
"asv","4","2","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","4","2","2","The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with the ensigns of their fathers’ houses: over against the tent of meeting shall they encamp round about."
"asv","4","2","3","And those that encamp on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts: and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab."
"asv","4","2","4","And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred."

"asv","4","5","10","And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his."
"asv","4","5","11","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","5","12","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,"
"asv","4","5","13","and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, and she be not taken in the act;"
"asv","4","5","14","and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:"
"asv","4","5","15","then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and shall bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance."
"asv","4","5","16","And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah:"
"asv","4","5","17","and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water."
"asv","4","5","18","And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse."
"asv","4","5","19","And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse."
"asv","4","5","20","But if thou have gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband:"
"asv","4","5","21","then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell;"
"asv","4","5","22","and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen."
"asv","4","5","23","And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness:"
"asv","4","5","24","and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter."
"asv","4","5","25","And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before Jehovah, and bring it unto the altar:"
"asv","4","5","26","and the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water."
"asv","4","5","27","And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her  and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people."
"asv","4","5","28","And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed."
"asv","4","5","29","This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled;"
"asv","4","5","30","or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law."
"asv","4","5","31","And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity."
"asv","4","6","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","6","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah,"
"asv","4","6","3","he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried."
"asv","4","6","4","All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk."
"asv","4","6","5","All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long."
"asv","4","6","6","All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body."
"asv","4","6","7","He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his head."
"asv","4","6","8","All the days of his separation he is holy unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","6","9","And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it."
"asv","4","6","10","And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting:"
"asv","4","6","11","and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day."
"asv","4","6","12","And he shall separate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled."
"asv","4","6","13","And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting:"
"asv","4","6","14","and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings,"
"asv","4","6","15","and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings."
"asv","4","6","16","And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:"
"asv","4","6","17","and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","6","18","And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings."
"asv","4","6","19","And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven  the head of  his separation;"
"asv","4","6","20","and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine."
"asv","4","6","21","This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth,  and of his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation."
"asv","4","6","22","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","6","23","Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,"
"asv","4","6","24","Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:"
"asv","4","6","25","Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:"
"asv","4","6","26","Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
"asv","4","6","27","So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them."
"asv","4","7","1","And it came to pass on the day that Moses had made an end of setting up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them and sanctified them;"
"asv","4","7","2","that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes, these are they that were over them that were numbered:"
"asv","4","7","3","and they brought their oblation before Jehovah, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle."
"asv","4","7","4","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","7","5","Take it of them, that they may be  used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service."
"asv","4","7","6","And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites."
"asv","4","7","7","Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service:"
"asv","4","7","8","and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."
"asv","4","7","9","But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them; they bare it upon their shoulders."
"asv","4","7","10","And the princes offered for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their oblation before the altar."
"asv","4","7","11","And Jehovah said unto Moses, They shall offer their oblation, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar."

"asv","4","8","8","Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin-offering."

"asv","4","8","17","For all the first-born among the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself."
"asv","4","8","18","And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel."
"asv","4","8","19","And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary."

"asv","4","8","22","And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them."
"asv","4","8","23","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","8","24","This is that which belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting:"
"asv","4","8","25","and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more,"
"asv","4","8","26","but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges."
"asv","4","9","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,"
"asv","4","9","2","Moreover let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season."
"asv","4","9","3","In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in its appointed season: according to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances thereof, shall ye keep it."
"asv","4","9","4","And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover."
"asv","4","9","5","And they kept the passover in the first  month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel."
"asv","4","9","6","And there were certain men, who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:"
"asv","4","9","7","and those men said unto him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"
"asv","4","9","8","And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you."
"asv","4","9","9","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","9","10","Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","9","11","In the second month on the fourteenth day at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs:"
"asv","4","9","12","they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the statute of the passover they shall keep it."
"asv","4","9","13","But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin."
"asv","4","9","14","And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto Jehovah; according to the statute of the passover, and according to the ordinance thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him that is born in the land."
"asv","4","9","15","And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony: and at even it was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning."
"asv","4","9","16","So it was alway: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night."
"asv","4","9","17","And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel encamped."
"asv","4","9","18","At the commandment of Jehovah the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped."
"asv","4","9","19","And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journeyed not."
"asv","4","9","20","And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed."
"asv","4","9","21","And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed: or  if it continued  by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed."
"asv","4","9","22","Whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel remained encamped, and journeyed not; but when it was taken up, they journeyed."
"asv","4","9","23","At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed: they kept the charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses."
"asv","4","10","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","10","2","Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps."
"asv","4","10","3","And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","4","10","4","And if they blow but one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee."
"asv","4","10","5","And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey."
"asv","4","10","6","And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys."
"asv","4","10","7","But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm."
"asv","4","10","8","And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations."
"asv","4","10","9","And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies."
"asv","4","10","10","Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","4","10","11","And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony."
"asv","4","10","12","And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran."
"asv","4","10","13","And they first took their journey according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses."
"asv","4","10","14","And in the first  place the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab."
"asv","4","10","15","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar."
"asv","4","10","16","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon."
"asv","4","10","17","And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bare the tabernacle, set forward."
"asv","4","10","18","And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur."
"asv","4","10","19","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai."
"asv","4","10","20","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel."
"asv","4","10","21","And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and  the others did set up the tabernacle against their coming."
"asv","4","10","22","And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Elishama the son of Ammihud."
"asv","4","10","23","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur."
"asv","4","10","24","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni."
"asv","4","10","25","And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rearward of all the camps, set forward according to their hosts: and over his host was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai."
"asv","4","10","26","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ochran."
"asv","4","10","27","And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan."
"asv","4","10","28","Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward."
"asv","4","10","29","And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel."
"asv","4","10","30","And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred."
"asv","4","10","31","And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes."
"asv","4","10","32","And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever Jehovah shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee."
"asv","4","10","33","And they set forward from the mount of Jehovah three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting-place for them."
"asv","4","10","34","And the cloud of Jehovah was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp."
"asv","4","10","35","And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee."
"asv","4","10","36","And when it rested, he said, Return, O Jehovah, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel."
"asv","4","11","1","And the people were as murmurers,  speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah: and when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp."
"asv","4","11","2","And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto Jehovah, and the fire abated."
"asv","4","11","3","And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them."
"asv","4","11","4","And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?"
"asv","4","11","5","We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:"
"asv","4","11","6","but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look upon."
"asv","4","11","7","And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium."
"asv","4","11","8","The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil."
"asv","4","11","9","And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it."
"asv","4","11","10","And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased."
"asv","4","11","11","And Moses said unto Jehovah, Wherefore hast thou dealt ill with thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?"
"asv","4","11","12","Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?"
"asv","4","11","13","Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat."
"asv","4","11","14","I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me."
"asv","4","11","15","And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness."
"asv","4","11","16","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee."
"asv","4","11","17","And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone."
"asv","4","11","18","And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat."
"asv","4","11","19","Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,"
"asv","4","11","20","but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?"
"asv","4","11","21","And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month."
"asv","4","11","22","Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?"
"asv","4","11","23","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Is Jehovah’s hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not."
"asv","4","11","24","And Moses went out, and told the people the words of Jehovah: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent."
"asv","4","11","25","And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more."
"asv","4","11","26","But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp."
"asv","4","11","27","And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp."
"asv","4","11","28","And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them."
"asv","4","11","29","And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all Jehovah’s people were prophets, that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!"
"asv","4","11","30","And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel."
"asv","4","11","31","And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth."
"asv","4","11","32","And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp."
"asv","4","11","33","While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague."
"asv","4","11","34","And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted."
"asv","4","11","35","From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth."
"asv","4","12","1","And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman."
"asv","4","12","2","And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it."
"asv","4","12","3","Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth."
"asv","4","12","4","And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out."
"asv","4","12","5","And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth."
"asv","4","12","6","And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream."
"asv","4","12","7","My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:"
"asv","4","12","8","with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?"
"asv","4","12","9","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed."
"asv","4","12","10","And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as  white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous."
"asv","4","12","11","And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned."
"asv","4","12","12","Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb."
"asv","4","12","13","And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee."
"asv","4","12","14","And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again."
"asv","4","12","15","And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again."
"asv","4","12","16","And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran."
"asv","4","13","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","13","2","Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them."
"asv","4","13","3","And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel."
"asv","4","13","4","And these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur."
"asv","4","13","5","Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori."
"asv","4","13","6","Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh."
"asv","4","13","7","Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph."
"asv","4","13","8","Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun."
"asv","4","13","9","Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu."
"asv","4","13","10","Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi."
"asv","4","13","11","Of the tribe of Joseph,  namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi."
"asv","4","13","12","Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli."
"asv","4","13","13","Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael."
"asv","4","13","14","Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi."
"asv","4","13","15","Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi."
"asv","4","13","16","These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua."
"asv","4","13","17","And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country:"
"asv","4","13","18","and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;"
"asv","4","13","19","and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;"
"asv","4","13","20","and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
"asv","4","13","21","So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath."
"asv","4","13","22","And they went up by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)"
"asv","4","13","23","And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs."
"asv","4","13","24","That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence."
"asv","4","13","25","And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days."
"asv","4","13","26","And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land."
"asv","4","13","27","And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us; and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it."
"asv","4","13","28","Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified,  and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there."
"asv","4","13","29","Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."
"asv","4","13","30","And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it."
"asv","4","13","31","But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
"asv","4","13","32","And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature."
"asv","4","13","33","And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
"asv","4","14","1","And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night."
"asv","4","14","2","And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would that we had died in this wilderness!"
"asv","4","14","3","And wherefore doth Jehovah bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?"
"asv","4","14","4","And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt."
"asv","4","14","5","Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel."
"asv","4","14","6","And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes:"
"asv","4","14","7","and they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land."
"asv","4","14","8","If Jehovah delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey."
"asv","4","14","9","Only rebel not against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us: fear them not."
"asv","4","14","10","But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel."
"asv","4","14","11","And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?"
"asv","4","14","12","I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they."
"asv","4","14","13","And Moses said unto Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;"
"asv","4","14","14","and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou Jehovah art in the midst of this people; for thou Jehovah art seen face to face, and thy cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night."
"asv","4","14","15","Now if thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,"
"asv","4","14","16","Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness."
"asv","4","14","17","And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,"
"asv","4","14","18","Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; and that will by no means clear  the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation."
"asv","4","14","19","Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy lovingkindness, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."
"asv","4","14","20","And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word:"
"asv","4","14","21","but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah;"
"asv","4","14","22","because all those men that have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;"
"asv","4","14","23","surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it:"
"asv","4","14","24","but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it."
"asv","4","14","25","Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."
"asv","4","14","26","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","4","14","27","How long  shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me."
"asv","4","14","28","Say unto them, As I live, saith Jehovah, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:"
"asv","4","14","29","your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, that have murmured against me,"
"asv","4","14","30","surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."
"asv","4","14","31","But your little ones, that ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected."
"asv","4","14","32","But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness."
"asv","4","14","33","And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness."
"asv","4","14","34","After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation."
"asv","4","14","35","I, Jehovah, have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die."
"asv","4","14","36","And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,"
"asv","4","14","37","even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Jehovah."
"asv","4","14","38","But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land."
"asv","4","14","39","And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly."
"asv","4","14","40","And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up unto the place which Jehovah hath promised: for we have sinned."
"asv","4","14","41","And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper?"
"asv","4","14","42","Go not up, for Jehovah is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies."
"asv","4","14","43","For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you."
"asv","4","14","44","But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, departed not out of the camp."
"asv","4","14","45","Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah."
"asv","4","15","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","15","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,"
"asv","4","15","3","and will make an offering by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock;"
"asv","4","15","4","then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part  of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil:"
"asv","4","15","5","and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb."
"asv","4","15","6","Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil:"
"asv","4","15","7","and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","15","8","And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah;"
"asv","4","15","9","then shall he offer with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil:"
"asv","4","15","10","and thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","15","11","Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids."
"asv","4","15","12","According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number."
"asv","4","15","13","All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","15","14","And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he shall do."
"asv","4","15","15","For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth  with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah."
"asv","4","15","16","One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you."
"asv","4","15","17","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","15","18","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,"
"asv","4","15","19","then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","15","20","Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it."
"asv","4","15","21","Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations."
"asv","4","15","22","And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,"
"asv","4","15","23","even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;"
"asv","4","15","24","then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering."
"asv","4","15","25","And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error:"
"asv","4","15","26","and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly."
"asv","4","15","27","And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering."
"asv","4","15","28","And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven."
"asv","4","15","29","Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them."
"asv","4","15","30","But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people."
"asv","4","15","31","Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him."
"asv","4","15","32","And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day."
"asv","4","15","33","And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation."
"asv","4","15","34","And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him."
"asv","4","15","35","And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp."
"asv","4","15","36","And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","4","15","37","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","15","38","Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue:"
"asv","4","15","39","and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot;"
"asv","4","15","40","that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God."
"asv","4","15","41","I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","4","16","1","Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took  men:"
"asv","4","16","2","and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;"
"asv","4","16","3","and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?"
"asv","4","16","4","And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:"
"asv","4","16","5","and he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, In the morning Jehovah will show who are his, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he shall choose will he cause to come near unto him."
"asv","4","16","6","This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his company;"
"asv","4","16","7","and put fire in them, and put incense upon them before Jehovah to-morrow: and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah doth choose, he  shall be  holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi."
"asv","4","16","8","And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye sons of Levi:"
"asv","4","16","9"," seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;"
"asv","4","16","10","and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?"
"asv","4","16","11","Therefore thou and all thy company are gathered together against Jehovah: and Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?"
"asv","4","16","12","And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, We will not come up:"
"asv","4","16","13","is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?"
"asv","4","16","14","Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up."
"asv","4","16","15","And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Jehovah, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
"asv","4","16","16","And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow:"
"asv","4","16","17","and take ye every man his censer, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before Jehovah every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each his censer."
"asv","4","16","18","And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron."
"asv","4","16","19","And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto all the congregation."
"asv","4","16","20","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","4","16","21","Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
"asv","4","16","22","And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?"
"asv","4","16","23","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","16","24","Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram."
"asv","4","16","25","And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him."
"asv","4","16","26","And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins."
"asv","4","16","27","So they gat them up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones."
"asv","4","16","28","And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all these works; for  I have not  done them of mine own mind."
"asv","4","16","29","If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Jehovah hath not sent me."
"asv","4","16","30","But if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then ye shall understand that these men have despised Jehovah."
"asv","4","16","31","And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them;"
"asv","4","16","32","and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods."
"asv","4","16","33","So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly."
"asv","4","16","34","And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up."
"asv","4","16","35","And fire came forth from Jehovah, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense."
"asv","4","16","36","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","16","37","Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are holy,"
"asv","4","16","38","even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Jehovah; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel."
"asv","4","16","39","And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,"
"asv","4","16","40","to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, that is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to burn incense before Jehovah; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as Jehovah spake unto him by Moses."
"asv","4","16","41","But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of Jehovah."
"asv","4","16","42","And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Jehovah appeared."
"asv","4","16","43","And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting."
"asv","4","16","44","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","16","45","Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell upon their faces."
"asv","4","16","46","And Moses said unto Aaron, Take they censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Jehovah; the plague is begun."
"asv","4","16","47","And Aaron took as Moses spake, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people."
"asv","4","16","48","And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed."
"asv","4","16","49","Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah."
"asv","4","16","50","And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting: and the plague was stayed."
"asv","4","17","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","17","2","Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers’ house, of all their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod."
"asv","4","17","3","And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi; for there shall be one rod for each head of their fathers’ houses."
"asv","4","17","4","And thou shalt lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you."
"asv","4","17","5","And it shall come to pass, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against you."
"asv","4","17","6","And Moses spake unto the children of Israel; and all their princes gave him rods, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods."
"asv","4","17","7","And Moses laid up the rods before Jehovah in the tent of the testimony."
"asv","4","17","8","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bare ripe almonds."
"asv","4","17","9","And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod."
"asv","4","17","10","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the children of rebellion; that thou mayest make an end of their murmurings against me, that they die not."
"asv","4","17","11","Thus did Moses: as Jehovah commanded him, so did he."
"asv","4","17","12","And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone."
"asv","4","17","13","Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah, dieth: shall we perish all of us?"
"asv","4","18","1","And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers’ house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood."
"asv","4","18","2","And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony."
"asv","4","18","3","And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye."
"asv","4","18","4","And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you."
"asv","4","18","5","And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more upon the children of Israel."
"asv","4","18","6","And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting."
"asv","4","18","7","And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
"asv","4","18","8","And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave-offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever."
"asv","4","18","9","This shall be thine of the most holy things,  reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal-offering of theirs, and every sin-offering of theirs, and every trespass-offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons."
"asv","4","18","10","As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat thereof: it shall be holy unto thee."
"asv","4","18","11","And this is thine: the heave-offering of their gift, even all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof."
"asv","4","18","12","All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them."
"asv","4","18","13","The first-ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof."
"asv","4","18","14","Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine."
"asv","4","18","15","Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless the first-born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem."
"asv","4","18","16","And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the same is twenty gerahs)."
"asv","4","18","17","But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","18","18","And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave-breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine."
"asv","4","18","19","All the heave-offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee."
"asv","4","18","20","And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel."
"asv","4","18","21","And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting."
"asv","4","18","22","And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die."
"asv","4","18","23","But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance."
"asv","4","18","24","For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave-offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance."
"asv","4","18","25","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","18","26","Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave-offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe."
"asv","4","18","27","And your heave-offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing-floor, and as the fulness of the winepress."
"asv","4","18","28","Thus ye also shall offer a heave-offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah’s heave-offering to Aaron the priest."
"asv","4","18","29","Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave-offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it."
"asv","4","18","30","Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing-floor, and as the increase of the wine-press."
"asv","4","18","31","And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting."
"asv","4","18","32","And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not."
"asv","4","19","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,"
"asv","4","19","2","This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish,  and upon which never came yoke."
"asv","4","19","3","And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:"
"asv","4","19","4","and Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times."
"asv","4","19","5","And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:"
"asv","4","19","6","and the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer."
"asv","4","19","7","Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","4","19","8","And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even."
"asv","4","19","9","And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin-offering."
"asv","4","19","10","And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever."
"asv","4","19","11","He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:"
"asv","4","19","12","the same shall purify himself therewith on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean."
"asv","4","19","13","Whosoever toucheth a dead person, the body of a man that hath died, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him."
"asv","4","19","14","This is the law when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and every one that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days."
"asv","4","19","15","And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean."
"asv","4","19","16","And whosoever in the open field toucheth one that is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days."
"asv","4","19","17","And for the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin-offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:"
"asv","4","19","18","and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:"
"asv","4","19","19","and the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even."
"asv","4","19","20","But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water for impurity hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean."
"asv","4","19","21","And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them: and he that sprinkleth the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he that toucheth the water for impurity shall be unclean until even."
"asv","4","19","22","And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even."
"asv","4","20","1","And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there."
"asv","4","20","2","And there was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron."
"asv","4","20","3","And the people strove with Moses, and spake, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah!"
"asv","4","20","4","And why have ye brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?"
"asv","4","20","5","And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink."
"asv","4","20","6","And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them."
"asv","4","20","7","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","20","8","Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink."
"asv","4","20","9","And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him."
"asv","4","20","10","And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock?"
"asv","4","20","11","And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle."
"asv","4","20","12","And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
"asv","4","20","13","These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctified in them."
"asv","4","20","14","And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:"
"asv","4","20","15","how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers:"
"asv","4","20","16","and when we cried unto Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border."
"asv","4","20","17","Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells; we will go along the king’s highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy border."
"asv","4","20","18","And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee."
"asv","4","20","19","And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof: let me only, without  doing anything  else, pass through on my feet."
"asv","4","20","20","And he said, Thou shalt not pass through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand."
"asv","4","20","21","Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him."
"asv","4","20","22","And they journeyed from Kadesh: and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor."
"asv","4","20","23","And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,"
"asv","4","20","24","Aaron shall be gathered unto his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah."
"asv","4","20","25","Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor;"
"asv","4","20","26","and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered  unto his people, and shall die there."
"asv","4","20","27","And Moses did as Jehovah commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation."
"asv","4","20","28","And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount."
"asv","4","20","29","And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel."
"asv","4","21","1","And the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who dwelt in the South, heard tell that Israel came by the way of Atharim; and he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive."
"asv","4","21","2","And Israel vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
"asv","4","21","3","And Jehovah hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and the name of the place was called Hormah."
"asv","4","21","4","And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way."
"asv","4","21","5","And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread."
"asv","4","21","6","And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died."
"asv","4","21","7","And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto Jehovah, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people."
"asv","4","21","8","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live."
"asv","4","21","9","And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived."
"asv","4","21","10","And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in Oboth."
"asv","4","21","11","And they journeyed from Oboth, and encamped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising."
"asv","4","21","12","From thence they journeyed, and encamped in the valley of Zered."
"asv","4","21","13","From thence they journeyed, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness, that cometh out of the border of the Amorites: for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites."
"asv","4","21","14","Wherefore it is said in the book of the Wars of Jehovah,Vaheb in Suphah,And the valleys of the Arnon,"
"asv","4","21","15","And the slope of the valleysThat inclineth toward the dwelling of Ar,And leaneth upon the border of Moab."
"asv","4","21","16","And from thence  they journeyed to Beer: that is the well whereof Jehovah said unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water."
"asv","4","21","17","Then sang Israel this song:Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:"
"asv","4","21","18","The well, which the princes digged,Which the nobles of the people delved,With the sceptre,  and with their staves."
"asv","4","21","19","and from Mattanah to Nahaliel; and from Nahaliel to Bamoth;"
"asv","4","21","20","and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the field of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh down upon the desert."
"asv","4","21","21","And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,"
"asv","4","21","22","Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn aside into field, or into vineyard; we will not drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, until we have passed thy border."
"asv","4","21","23","And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness, and came to Jahaz; and he fought against Israel."
"asv","4","21","24","And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong."
"asv","4","21","25","And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the towns thereof."
"asv","4","21","26","For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto the Arnon."
"asv","4","21","27","Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say,Come ye to Heshbon;Let the city of Sihon be built and established:"
"asv","4","21","28","For a fire is gone out of Heshbon,A flame from the city of Sihon:It hath devoured Ar of Moab,The lords of the high places of the Arnon."
"asv","4","21","29","Woe to thee, Moab!Thou art undone, O people of Chemosh:He hath given his sons as fugitives,And his daughters into captivity,Unto Sihon king of the Amorites."
"asv","4","21","30","We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon,And we have laid waste even unto Nophah,Which  reacheth unto Medeba."
"asv","4","21","31","Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites."
"asv","4","21","32","And Moses sent to spy out Jazer; and they took the towns thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there."
"asv","4","21","33","And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei."
"asv","4","21","34","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."
"asv","4","21","35","So they smote him, and his sons and all his people, until there was none left him remaining: and they possessed his land."
"asv","4","22","1","And the children of Israel journeyed, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho."
"asv","4","22","2","And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites."
"asv","4","22","3","And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel."
"asv","4","22","4","And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now will this multitude lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time."
"asv","4","22","5","And he sent messengers unto Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me."
"asv","4","22","6","Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed."
"asv","4","22","7","And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak."
"asv","4","22","8","And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Jehovah shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam."
"asv","4","22","9","And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?"
"asv","4","22","10","And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me,  saying,"
"asv","4","22","11","Behold, the people that is come out of Egypt, it covereth the face of the earth: now, come curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out."
"asv","4","22","12","And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people; for they are blessed."
"asv","4","22","13","And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land; for Jehovah refuseth to give me leave to go with you."
"asv","4","22","14","And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us."
"asv","4","22","15","And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they."
"asv","4","22","16","And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:"
"asv","4","22","17","for I will promote thee unto very great honor, and whatsoever thou sayest unto me I will do: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people."
"asv","4","22","18","And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah my God, to do less or more."
"asv","4","22","19","Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what Jehovah will speak unto me more."
"asv","4","22","20","And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men are come to call thee, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak unto thee, that shalt thou do."
"asv","4","22","21","And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab."
"asv","4","22","22","And God’s anger was kindled because he went; and the angel of Jehovah placed himself in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him."
"asv","4","22","23","And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way."
"asv","4","22","24","Then the angel of Jehovah stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side."
"asv","4","22","25","And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah, and she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again."
"asv","4","22","26","And the angel of Jehovah went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left."
"asv","4","22","27","And the ass saw the angel of Jehovah, and she lay down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with his staff."
"asv","4","22","28","And Jehovah opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?"
"asv","4","22","29","And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed thee."
"asv","4","22","30","And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden all thy life long unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay."
"asv","4","22","31","Then Jehovah opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of Jehovah standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face."
"asv","4","22","32","And the angel of Jehovah said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is perverse before me:"
"asv","4","22","33","and the ass saw me, and turned aside before me these three times: unless she had turned aside from me, surely now I had even slain thee, and saved her alive."
"asv","4","22","34","And Balaam said unto the angel of Jehovah, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again."
"asv","4","22","35","And the angel of Jehovah said unto Balaam, Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak."
"asv","4","22","36","And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border."
"asv","4","22","37","And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?"
"asv","4","22","38","And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to speak anything? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak."
"asv","4","22","39","And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kiriath-huzoth."
"asv","4","22","40","And Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him."
"asv","4","22","41","And it came to pass in the morning, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from thence the utmost part of the people."
"asv","4","23","1","And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams."
"asv","4","23","2","And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram."
"asv","4","23","3","And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt-offering, and I will go: peradventure Jehovah will come to meet me; and whatsoever he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to a bare height."
"asv","4","23","4","And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared the seven altars, and I have offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar."
"asv","4","23","5","And Jehovah put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak."
"asv","4","23","6","And he returned unto him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, he, and all the princes of Moab."
"asv","4","23","7","And he took up his parable, and said,From Aram hath Balak brought me,The king of Moab from the mountains of the East:Come, curse me Jacob,And come, defy Israel."
"asv","4","23","8","How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed?And how shall I defy, whom Jehovah hath not defied?"
"asv","4","23","9","For from the top of the rocks I see him,And from the hills I behold him:Lo, it is a people that dwelleth alone,And shall not be reckoned among the nations."
"asv","4","23","10","Who can count the dust of Jacob,Or number the fourth part of Israel?Let me die the death of the righteous,And let my last end be like his!"
"asv","4","23","11","And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether."
"asv","4","23","12","And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which Jehovah putteth in my mouth?"
"asv","4","23","13","And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them; thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence."
"asv","4","23","14","And he took him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar."
"asv","4","23","15","And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I meet Jehovah yonder."
"asv","4","23","16","And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus shalt thou speak."
"asv","4","23","17","And he came to him, and, lo, he was standing by his burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath Jehovah spoken?"
"asv","4","23","18","And he took up his parable, and said,Rise up, Balak, and hear;Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:"
"asv","4","23","19","God is not a man, that he should lie,Neither the son of man, that he should repent:Hath he said, and will he not do it?Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?"
"asv","4","23","20","Behold, I have received  commandment to bless:And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it."
"asv","4","23","21","He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob;Neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel:Jehovah his God is with him,And the shout of a king is among them."
"asv","4","23","22","God bringeth them forth out of Egypt;He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox."
"asv","4","23","23","Surely there is no enchantment with Jacob;Neither is there any divination with Israel:Now shalt it be said of Jacob and of Israel,What hath God wrought!"
"asv","4","23","24","Behold, the people riseth up as a lioness,And as a lion doth he lift himself up:He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey,And drink the blood of the slain."
"asv","4","23","25","And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all."
"asv","4","23","26","But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh, that I must do?"
"asv","4","23","27","And Balak said unto Balaam, Come now, I will take thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence."
"asv","4","23","28","And Balak took Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh down upon the desert."
"asv","4","23","29","And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams."
"asv","4","23","30","And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered up a bullock and a ram on every altar."
"asv","4","24","1","And when Balaam saw that it pleased Jehovah to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness."
"asv","4","24","2","And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him."
"asv","4","24","3","And he took up his parable, and said,Balaam the son of Beor saith,And the man whose eye was closed saith;"
"asv","4","24","4","He saith, who heareth the words of God,Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,Falling down, and having his eyes open:"
"asv","4","24","5","How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob,Thy tabernacles, O Israel!"
"asv","4","24","6","As valleys are they spread forth,As gardens by the river-side,As lign-aloes which Jehovah hath planted,As cedar-trees beside the waters."
"asv","4","24","7","Water shall flow from his buckets,And his seed shall be in many waters,And his king shall be higher than Agag,And his kingdom shall be exalted."
"asv","4","24","8","God bringeth him forth out of Egypt;He hath as it were the strength of the wild-ox:He shall eat up the nations his adversaries,And shall break their bones in pieces,And smite  them through with his arrows."
"asv","4","24","9","He couched, he lay down as a lion,And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?Blessed be every one that blesseth thee,And cursed be every one that curseth thee."
"asv","4","24","10","And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times."
"asv","4","24","11","Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honor; but, lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back from honor."
"asv","4","24","12","And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers that thou sentest unto me, saying,"
"asv","4","24","13","If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what Jehovah speaketh, that will I speak?"
"asv","4","24","14","And now, behold, I go unto my people: come,  and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days."
"asv","4","24","15","And he took up his parable, and said,Balaam the son of Beor saith,And the man whose eye was closed saith;"
"asv","4","24","16","He saith, who heareth the words of God,And knoweth the knowledge of the Most High,Who seeth the vision of the Almighty,Falling down, and having his eyes open:"
"asv","4","24","17","I see him, but not now;I behold him, but not nigh:There shall come forth a star out of Jacob,And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel,And shall smite through the corners of Moab,And break down all the sons of tumult."
"asv","4","24","18","And Edom shall be a possession,Seir also shall be a possession,  who were his enemies;While Israel doeth valiantly."
"asv","4","24","19","And out of Jacob shall one have dominion,And shall destroy the remnant from the city."
"asv","4","24","20","And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said,Amalek was the first of the nations;But his latter end shall come to destruction."
"asv","4","24","21","And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said,Strong is thy dwelling-place,And thy nest is set in the rock."
"asv","4","24","22","Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted,Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive."
"asv","4","24","23","And he took up his parable, and said,Alas, who shall live when God doeth this?"
"asv","4","24","24","But ships  shall come from the coast of Kittim,And they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber;And he also shall come to destruction."
"asv","4","24","25","And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way."
"asv","4","25","1","And Israel abode in Shittim; and the people began to play the harlot with the daughters of Moab:"
"asv","4","25","2","for they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods; and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods."
"asv","4","25","3","And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel."
"asv","4","25","4","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, and hang them up unto Jehovah before the sun, that the fierce anger of Jehovah may turn away from Israel."
"asv","4","25","5","And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto Baal-peor."
"asv","4","25","6","And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","4","25","7","And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand;"
"asv","4","25","8","and he went after the man of Israel into the pavilion, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel."
"asv","4","25","9","And those that died by the plague were twenty and four thousand."
"asv","4","25","10","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","25","11","Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, in that he was jealous with my jealousy among them, so that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy."
"asv","4","25","12","Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:"
"asv","4","25","13","and it shall be unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel."
"asv","4","25","14","Now the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers’ house among the Simeonites."
"asv","4","25","15","And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers’ house in Midian."
"asv","4","25","16","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","25","17","Vex the Midianites, and smite them;"
"asv","4","25","18","for they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in the matter of Peor."
"asv","4","26","1","And it came to pass after the plague, that Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,"
"asv","4","26","2","Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ houses, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel."
"asv","4","26","3","And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,"
"asv","4","26","4"," Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as Jehovah commanded Moses and the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","4","26","5","Reuben, the first-born of Israel; the sons of Reuben:  of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;"

"asv","4","27","1","Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah."
"asv","4","27","2","And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying,"
"asv","4","27","3","Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of them that gathered themselves together against Jehovah in the company of Korah: but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons."
"asv","4","27","4","Why should the name of our father be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give unto us a possession among the brethren of our father."
"asv","4","27","5","And Moses brought their cause before Jehovah."
"asv","4","27","6","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","27","7","The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father’s brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them."
"asv","4","27","8","And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter."
"asv","4","27","9","And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren."
"asv","4","27","10","And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father’s brethren."
"asv","4","27","11","And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute  and ordinance, as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","4","27","12","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel."
"asv","4","27","13","And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered;"
"asv","4","27","14","because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.)"
"asv","4","27","15","And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","4","27","16","Let Jehovah, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,"
"asv","4","27","17","who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in; that the congregation of Jehovah be not as sheep which have no shepherd."
"asv","4","27","18","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thy hand upon him;"
"asv","4","27","19","and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight."
"asv","4","27","20","And thou shalt put of thine honor upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may obey."
"asv","4","27","21","And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Jehovah: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation."
"asv","4","27","22","And Moses did as Jehovah commanded him; and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:"
"asv","4","27","23","and he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as Jehovah spake by Moses."
"asv","4","28","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","28","2","Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My oblation, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season."
"asv","4","28","3","And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto Jehovah: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt-offering."
"asv","4","28","4","The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;"
"asv","4","28","5","and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil."
"asv","4","28","6","It is a continual burnt-offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","28","7","And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","28","8","And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","28","9","And on the sabbath day two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts  of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, and the drink-offering thereof:"
"asv","4","28","10","this is the burnt-offering of every sabbath, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","28","11","And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;"
"asv","4","28","12","and three tenth parts  of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for each bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for the one ram;"
"asv","4","28","13","and a tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for a burnt-offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","28","14","And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt-offering of every month throughout the months of the year."
"asv","4","28","15","And one he-goat for a sin-offering unto Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","28","16","And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Jehovah’s passover."
"asv","4","28","17","And on the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten."
"asv","4","28","18","In the first day shall be a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work;"
"asv","4","28","19","but ye shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt-offering unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven he-lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish;"
"asv","4","28","20","and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil: three tenth parts shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth parts for the ram;"
"asv","4","28","21","a tenth part shalt thou offer for every lamb of the seven lambs;"
"asv","4","28","22","and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you."
"asv","4","28","23","Ye shall offer these besides the burnt-offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt-offering."
"asv","4","28","24","After this manner ye shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: it shall be offered besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","28","25","And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work."
"asv","4","28","26","Also in the day of the first-fruits, when ye offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah in your  feast of weeks, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work;"
"asv","4","28","27","but ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old;"
"asv","4","28","28","and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram,"
"asv","4","28","29","a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;"
"asv","4","28","30","one he-goat, to make atonement for you."
"asv","4","28","31","Besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, ye shall offer them (they shall be unto you without blemish), and their drink-offerings."
"asv","4","29","1","And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day of blowing of trumpets unto you."
"asv","4","29","2","And ye shall offer a burnt-offering for a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;"
"asv","4","29","3","and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the ram,"
"asv","4","29","4","and one tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;"
"asv","4","29","5","and one he-goat for a sin-offering, to make atonement for you;"
"asv","4","29","6","besides the burnt-offering of the new moon, and the meal-offering thereof, and the continual burnt-offering and the meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings, according unto their ordinance, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah."
"asv","4","29","7","And on the tenth day of this seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall do no manner of work;"
"asv","4","29","8","but ye shall offer a burnt-offering unto Jehovah for a sweet savor: one young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old; they shall be unto you without blemish;"
"asv","4","29","9","and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for the bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram,"
"asv","4","29","10","a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs:"
"asv","4","29","11","one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the sin-offering of atonement, and the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings."
"asv","4","29","12","And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto Jehovah seven days:"
"asv","4","29","13","and ye shall offer a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old; they shall be without blemish;"
"asv","4","29","14","and their meal-offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth parts for each ram of the two rams,"
"asv","4","29","15","and a tenth part for every lamb of the fourteen lambs;"
"asv","4","29","16","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","29","17","And on the second day  ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;"
"asv","4","29","18","and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;"
"asv","4","29","19","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and their drink-offerings."
"asv","4","29","20","And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;"

"asv","4","29","23","And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;"

"asv","4","29","25","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","29","26","And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;"

"asv","4","29","28","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","29","29","And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;"

"asv","4","29","31","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offerings thereof."
"asv","4","29","32","And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen he-lambs a year old without blemish;"
"asv","4","29","33","and their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, according to their number, after the ordinance;"
"asv","4","29","34","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","29","35","On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work;"
"asv","4","29","36","but ye shall offer a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah: one bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish;"
"asv","4","29","37","their meal-offering and their drink-offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the ordinance:"
"asv","4","29","38","and one he-goat for a sin-offering; besides the continual burnt-offering, and the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof."
"asv","4","29","39","These ye shall offer unto Jehovah in your set feasts, besides your vows, and your freewill-offerings, for your burnt-offerings, and for your meal-offerings, and for your drink-offerings, and for your peace-offerings."
"asv","4","29","40","And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","4","30","1","And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded."
"asv","4","30","2","When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth."
"asv","4","30","3","Also when a woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bindeth herself by a bond, being in her father’s house, in her youth,"
"asv","4","30","4","and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand."
"asv","4","30","5","But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed her."
"asv","4","30","6","And if she be  married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul,"
"asv","4","30","7","and her husband hear it, and hold his peace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand."
"asv","4","30","8","But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul: and Jehovah will forgive her."
"asv","4","30","9","But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced,  even everything wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her."
"asv","4","30","10","And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath,"
"asv","4","30","11","and her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand."
"asv","4","30","12","But if her husband made them null and void in the day that he heard them, then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and Jehovah will forgive her."
"asv","4","30","13","Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void."
"asv","4","30","14","But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day, then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them."
"asv","4","30","15","But if he shall make them null and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity."
"asv","4","30","16","These are the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father’s house."
"asv","4","31","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","31","2","Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people."
"asv","4","31","3","And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah’s vengeance on Midian."
"asv","4","31","4","Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war."
"asv","4","31","5","So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war."
"asv","4","31","6","And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand."
"asv","4","31","7","And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew every male."
"asv","4","31","8","And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword."
"asv","4","31","9","And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey."
"asv","4","31","10","And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire."
"asv","4","31","11","And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast."
"asv","4","31","12","And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho."
"asv","4","31","13","And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp."
"asv","4","31","14","And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war."
"asv","4","31","15","And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?"
"asv","4","31","16","Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah."
"asv","4","31","17","Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him."
"asv","4","31","18","But all the women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
"asv","4","31","19","And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives."
"asv","4","31","20","And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’  hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves."
"asv","4","31","21","And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:"
"asv","4","31","22","howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,"
"asv","4","31","23","everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water."
"asv","4","31","24","And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the camp."
"asv","4","31","25","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","31","26","Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’  houses of the congregation;"
"asv","4","31","27","and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation."
"asv","4","31","28","And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred,  both of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks:"
"asv","4","31","29","take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah’s heave-offering."
"asv","4","31","30","And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah."
"asv","4","31","31","And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","4","31","32","Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,"
"asv","4","31","33","and threescore and twelve thousand oxen,"
"asv","4","31","34","and threescore and one thousand asses,"
"asv","4","31","35","and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him."
"asv","4","31","36","And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep:"
"asv","4","31","37","and Jehovah’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen."
"asv","4","31","38","And the oxen were thirty and six thousand; of which Jehovah’s tribute was threescore and twelve."
"asv","4","31","39","And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which Jehovah’s tribute was threescore and one."
"asv","4","31","40","And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Jehovah’s tribute was thirty and two persons."
"asv","4","31","41","And Moses gave the tribute, which was Jehovah’s heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","4","31","42","And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred"
"asv","4","31","43","(now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,"
"asv","4","31","44","and thirty and six thousand oxen,"
"asv","4","31","45","and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,"
"asv","4","31","46","and sixteen thousand persons),"
"asv","4","31","47","even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","4","31","48","And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;"
"asv","4","31","49","and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us."
"asv","4","31","50","And we have brought Jehovah’s oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah."
"asv","4","31","51","And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels."
"asv","4","31","52","And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered up to Jehovah, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels."
"asv","4","31","53","( For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)"
"asv","4","31","54","And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah."
"asv","4","32","1","Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;"
"asv","4","32","2","the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,"
"asv","4","32","3","Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,"
"asv","4","32","4","the land which Jehovah smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle; and thy servants have cattle."
"asv","4","32","5","And they said, If we have found favor in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan."
"asv","4","32","6","And Moses said unto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?"
"asv","4","32","7","And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Jehovah hath given them?"
"asv","4","32","8","Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land."
"asv","4","32","9","For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which Jehovah had given them."
"asv","4","32","10","And Jehovah’s anger was kindled in that day, and he sware, saying,"
"asv","4","32","11","Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:"
"asv","4","32","12","save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed Jehovah."
"asv","4","32","13","And Jehovah’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of Jehovah, was consumed."
"asv","4","32","14","And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of Jehovah toward Israel."
"asv","4","32","15","For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye will destroy all this people."
"asv","4","32","16","And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:"
"asv","4","32","17","but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land."
"asv","4","32","18","We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance."
"asv","4","32","19","For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."
"asv","4","32","20","And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will arm yourselves to go before Jehovah to the war,"
"asv","4","32","21","and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before Jehovah, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,"
"asv","4","32","22","and the land is subdued before Jehovah; then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless towards Jehovah, and towards Israel; and this land shall be unto you for a possession before Jehovah."
"asv","4","32","23","But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against Jehovah; and be sure your sin will find you out."
"asv","4","32","24","Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth."
"asv","4","32","25","And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth."
"asv","4","32","26","Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;"
"asv","4","32","27","but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before Jehovah to battle, as my lord saith."
"asv","4","32","28","So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers’  houses  of the tribes of the children of Israel."
"asv","4","32","29","And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before Jehovah, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:"
"asv","4","32","30","but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
"asv","4","32","31","And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As Jehovah hath said unto thy servants, so will we do."
"asv","4","32","32","We will pass over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance  shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
"asv","4","32","33","And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with  their borders, even the cities of the land round about."
"asv","4","32","34","And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,"
"asv","4","32","35","and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,"
"asv","4","32","36","and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep."
"asv","4","32","37","And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,"
"asv","4","32","38","and Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and they gave other names unto the cities which they builded."
"asv","4","32","39","And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein."
"asv","4","32","40","And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein."
"asv","4","32","41","And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the towns thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair."
"asv","4","32","42","And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name."
"asv","4","33","1","These are the journeys of the children of Israel, when they went forth out of the land of Egypt by their hosts under the hand of Moses and Aaron."
"asv","4","33","2","And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of Jehovah: and these are their journeys according to their goings out."
"asv","4","33","3","And they journeyed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians,"
"asv","4","33","4","while the Egyptians were burying all their first-born, whom Jehovah had smitten among them: upon their gods also Jehovah executed judgments."
"asv","4","33","5","And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses, and encamped in Succoth."
"asv","4","33","6","And they journeyed from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness."
"asv","4","33","7","And they journeyed from Etham, and turned back unto Pi-hahiroth, which is before Baal-zephon: and they encamped before Migdol."
"asv","4","33","8","And they journeyed from before Hahiroth, and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness: and they went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah."
"asv","4","33","9","And they journeyed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve springs of water, and threescore and ten palm-trees; and they encamped there."
"asv","4","33","10","And they journeyed from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea."
"asv","4","33","11","And they journeyed from the Red Sea, and encamped in the wilderness of Sin."

"asv","4","33","50","And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,"
"asv","4","33","51","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,"
"asv","4","33","52","then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured  stones, and destroy all their molten images, and demolish all their high places:"
"asv","4","33","53","and ye shall take possession of the land, and dwell therein; for unto you have I given the land to possess it."
"asv","4","33","54","And ye shall inherit the land by lot according to your families; to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give the less inheritance: wheresoever the lot falleth to any man, that shall be his; according to the tribes of your fathers shall ye inherit."
"asv","4","33","55","But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then shall those that ye let remain of them be as pricks in your eyes, and as thorns in your sides, and they shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell."
"asv","4","33","56","And it shall come to pass, that, as I thought to do unto them, so will I do unto you."
"asv","4","34","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","34","2","Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof),"
"asv","4","34","3","then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the side of Edom, and your south border shall be from the end of the Salt Sea eastward;"
"asv","4","34","4","and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon;"
"asv","4","34","5","and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the sea."
"asv","4","34","6","And for the western border, ye shall have the great sea and the border thereof: this shall be your west border."
"asv","4","34","7","And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall mark out for you mount Hor;"
"asv","4","34","8","from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;"
"asv","4","34","9","and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border."
"asv","4","34","10","And ye shall mark out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham;"
"asv","4","34","11","and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward;"
"asv","4","34","12","and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about."
"asv","4","34","13","And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe;"
"asv","4","34","14","for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance:"
"asv","4","34","15","the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising."
"asv","4","34","16","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","34","17","These are the names of the men that shall divide the land unto you for inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun."
"asv","4","34","18","And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land for inheritance."
"asv","4","34","19","And these are the names of the men: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh."
"asv","4","34","20","And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud."
"asv","4","34","21","Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon."
"asv","4","34","22","And of the tribe of the children of Dan a prince, Bukki the son of Jogli."
"asv","4","34","23","Of the children of Joseph: of the tribe of the children of Manasseh a prince, Hanniel the son of Ephod."
"asv","4","34","24","And of the tribe of the children of Ephraim a prince, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan."
"asv","4","34","25","And of the tribe of the children of Zebulun a prince, Elizaphan the son of Parnach."
"asv","4","34","26","And of the tribe of the children of Issachar a prince, Paltiel the son of Azzan."
"asv","4","34","27","And of the tribe of the children of Asher a prince, Ahihud the son of Shelomi."
"asv","4","34","28","And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali a prince, Pedahel the son of Ammihud."
"asv","4","34","29","These are they whom Jehovah commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan."
"asv","4","35","1","And Jehovah spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,"
"asv","4","35","2","Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and suburbs for the cities round about them shall ye give unto the Levites."
"asv","4","35","3","And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts."
"asv","4","35","4","And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about."
"asv","4","35","5","And ye shall measure without the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the midst. This shall be to them the suburbs of the cities."
"asv","4","35","6","And the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which ye shall give for the manslayer to flee unto: and besides them ye shall give forty and two cities."
"asv","4","35","7","All the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities; them  shall ye give with their suburbs."
"asv","4","35","8","And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites."
"asv","4","35","9","And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,"
"asv","4","35","10","Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye pass over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,"
"asv","4","35","11","then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither."
"asv","4","35","12","And the cities shall be unto you for refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation for judgment."
"asv","4","35","13","And the cities which ye shall give shall be for you six cities of refuge."
"asv","4","35","14","Ye shall give three cities beyond the Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan; they shall be cities of refuge."
"asv","4","35","15","For the children of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner among them, shall these six cities be for refuge; that every one that killeth any person unwittingly may flee thither."
"asv","4","35","16","But if he smote him with an instrument of iron, so that he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."
"asv","4","35","17","And if he smote him with a stone in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."
"asv","4","35","18","Or if he smote him with a weapon of wood in the hand, whereby a man may die, and he died, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death."
"asv","4","35","19","The avenger of blood shall himself put the murderer to death: when he meeteth him, he shall put him to death."
"asv","4","35","20","And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,"
"asv","4","35","21","or in enmity smote him with his hand, so that he died; he that smote him shall surely be put to death; he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death, when he meeteth him."
"asv","4","35","22","But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or hurled upon him anything without lying in wait,"
"asv","4","35","23","or with any stone, whereby a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, so that he died, and he was not his enemy, neither sought his harm;"
"asv","4","35","24","then the congregation shall judge between the smiter and the avenger of blood according to these ordinances;"
"asv","4","35","25","and the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall dwell therein until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil."
"asv","4","35","26","But if the manslayer shall at any time go beyond the border of his city of refuge, whither he fleeth,"
"asv","4","35","27","and the avenger of blood find him without the border of his city of refuge, and the avenger of blood slay the manslayer; he shall not be guilty of blood,"
"asv","4","35","28","because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return into the land of his possession."
"asv","4","35","29","And these things shall be for a statute  and ordinance unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings."
"asv","4","35","30","Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be slain at the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person that he die."
"asv","4","35","31","Moreover ye shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer, that is guilty of death; but he shall surely be put to death."
"asv","4","35","32","And ye shall take no ransom for him that is fled to his city of refuge, that he may come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest."
"asv","4","35","33","So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood, it polluteth the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it."
"asv","4","35","34","And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell: for I, Jehovah, dwell in the midst of the children of Israel."
"asv","4","36","1","And the heads of the fathers’  houses of the family of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the heads of the fathers’  houses of the children of Israel:"
"asv","4","36","2","and they said, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters."
"asv","4","36","3","And if they be married to any of the sons of the  other tribes of the children of Israel, then will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of our fathers, and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will it be taken away from the lot of our inheritance."
"asv","4","36","4","And when the jubilee of the children of Israel shall be, then will their inheritance be added unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they shall belong: so will their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers."
"asv","4","36","5","And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of Jehovah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph speaketh right."
"asv","4","36","6","This is the thing which Jehovah doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them be married to whom they think best; only into the family of the tribe of their father shall they be married."
"asv","4","36","7","So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall cleave every one to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers."
"asv","4","36","8","And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may possess every man the inheritance of his fathers."
"asv","4","36","9","So shall no inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; for the tribes of the children of Israel shall cleave every one to his own inheritance."
"asv","4","36","10","Even as Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:"
"asv","4","36","11","for Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father’s brothers’ sons."
"asv","4","36","12","They were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father."
"asv","4","36","13","These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded by Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho."
"asv","5","1","1","These are the words which Moses spake unto all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab."
"asv","5","1","2","It is eleven days’  journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea."
"asv","5","1","3","And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that Jehovah had given him in commandment unto them;"
"asv","5","1","4","after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei."
"asv","5","1","5","Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,"
"asv","5","1","6","Jehovah our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain:"
"asv","5","1","7","turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all  the places nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates."
"asv","5","1","8","Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them."
"asv","5","1","9","And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:"
"asv","5","1","10","Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude."
"asv","5","1","11","Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!"
"asv","5","1","12","How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?"
"asv","5","1","13","Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you."
"asv","5","1","14","And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do."
"asv","5","1","15","So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes."
"asv","5","1","16","And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear  the causes  between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the sojourner that is with him."
"asv","5","1","17","Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it."
"asv","5","1","18","And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do."
"asv","5","1","19","And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Jehovah our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea."
"asv","5","1","20","And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth unto us."
"asv","5","1","21","Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed."
"asv","5","1","22","And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which we shall come."
"asv","5","1","23","And the thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:"
"asv","5","1","24","and they turned and went up into the hill-country, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out."
"asv","5","1","25","And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Jehovah our God giveth unto us."
"asv","5","1","26","Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God:"
"asv","5","1","27","and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us."
"asv","5","1","28","Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there."
"asv","5","1","29","Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them."
"asv","5","1","30","Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,"
"asv","5","1","31","and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place."
"asv","5","1","32","Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah your God,"
"asv","5","1","33","who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day."
"asv","5","1","34","And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,"
"asv","5","1","35","Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,"
"asv","5","1","36","save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Jehovah."
"asv","5","1","37","Also Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither:"
"asv","5","1","38","Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it."
"asv","5","1","39","Moreover your little ones, that ye said should be a prey, and your children, that this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it."
"asv","5","1","40","But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea."
"asv","5","1","41","Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the hill-country."
"asv","5","1","42","And Jehovah said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies."
"asv","5","1","43","So I spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country."
"asv","5","1","44","And the Amorites, that dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah."
"asv","5","1","45","And ye returned and wept before Jehovah; but Jehovah hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you."
"asv","5","1","46","So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there."
"asv","5","2","1","Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spake unto me; and we compassed mount Seir many days."
"asv","5","2","2","And Jehovah spake unto me, saying,"
"asv","5","2","3","Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward."
"asv","5","2","4","And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore;"
"asv","5","2","5","contend not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession."
"asv","5","2","6","Ye shall purchase food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink."
"asv","5","2","7","For Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand; he hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing."
"asv","5","2","8","So we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber."
"asv","5","2","9","And Jehovah said unto me, Vex not Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give thee of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession."
"asv","5","2","10","(The Emim dwelt therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:"
"asv","5","2","11","these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim."
"asv","5","2","12","The Horites also dwelt in Seir aforetime, but the children of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave unto them.)"
"asv","5","2","13","Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered."
"asv","5","2","14","And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, were thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah sware unto them."
"asv","5","2","15","Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed."
"asv","5","2","16","So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,"
"asv","5","2","17","that Jehovah spake unto me, saying,"
"asv","5","2","18","Thou art this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:"
"asv","5","2","19","and when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, vex them not, nor contend with them; for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession."
"asv","5","2","20","(That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim dwelt therein aforetime; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,"
"asv","5","2","21","a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but Jehovah destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead;"
"asv","5","2","22","as he did for the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day."
"asv","5","2","23","And the Avvim, that dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, that came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)"
"asv","5","2","24","Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle."
"asv","5","2","25","This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee."
"asv","5","2","26","And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,"
"asv","5","2","27","Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither unto the right hand nor to the left."
"asv","5","2","28","Thou shalt sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet;"
"asv","5","2","29","as the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites that dwell in Ar, did unto me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God giveth us."
"asv","5","2","30","But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day."
"asv","5","2","31","And Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land."
"asv","5","2","32","Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz."
"asv","5","2","33","And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people."
"asv","5","2","34","And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:"
"asv","5","2","35","only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken."
"asv","5","2","36","From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even unto Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; Jehovah our God delivered up all before us:"
"asv","5","2","37","only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wheresoever Jehovah our God forbade us."
"asv","5","3","1","Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Edrei."
"asv","5","3","2","And Jehovah said unto me, Fear him not; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."
"asv","5","3","3","So Jehovah our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining."
"asv","5","3","4","And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan."
"asv","5","3","5","All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the unwalled towns a great many."
"asv","5","3","6","And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones."
"asv","5","3","7","But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey unto ourselves."
"asv","5","3","8","And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon unto mount Hermon"
"asv","5","3","9","( which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir);"
"asv","5","3","10","all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan."
"asv","5","3","11","(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.)"
"asv","5","3","12","And this land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites:"
"asv","5","3","13","and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim."
"asv","5","3","14","Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, unto this day.)"
"asv","5","3","15","And I gave Gilead unto Machir."
"asv","5","3","16","And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border thereof, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;"
"asv","5","3","17","the Arabah also, and the Jordan and the border  thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward."
"asv","5","3","18","And I commanded you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the men of valor."
"asv","5","3","19","But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle (I know that ye have much cattle), shall abide in your cities which I have given you,"
"asv","5","3","20","until Jehovah give rest unto your brethren, as unto you, and they also possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan: then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you."
"asv","5","3","21","And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall Jehovah do unto all the kingdoms whither thou goest over."
"asv","5","3","22","Ye shall not fear them; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you."
"asv","5","3","23","And I besought Jehovah at that time, saying,"
"asv","5","3","24","O Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mighty acts?"
"asv","5","3","25","Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon."
"asv","5","3","26","But Jehovah was wroth with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me; and Jehovah said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter."
"asv","5","3","27","Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan."
"asv","5","3","28","But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see."
"asv","5","3","29","So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor."
"asv","5","4","1","And now, O Israel, hearken unto the statutes and unto the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, giveth you."
"asv","5","4","2","Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you."
"asv","5","4","3","Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-peor; for all the men that followed Baal-peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","4","4","But ye that did cleave unto Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day."
"asv","5","4","5","Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land whither ye go in to possess it."
"asv","5","4","6","Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
"asv","5","4","7","For what great nation is there, that hath a god so nigh unto them, as Jehovah our God is whensoever we call upon him?"
"asv","5","4","8","And what great nation is there, that hath statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?"
"asv","5","4","9","Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes saw, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but make them known unto thy children and thy children’s children;"
"asv","5","4","10","the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said unto me, Assemble me the people, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children."
"asv","5","4","11","And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the heart of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness."
"asv","5","4","12","And Jehovah spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of words, but ye saw no form; only  ye heard a voice."
"asv","5","4","13","And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone."
"asv","5","4","14","And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it."
"asv","5","4","15","Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of form on the day that Jehovah spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;"
"asv","5","4","16","lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,"
"asv","5","4","17","the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flieth in the heavens,"
"asv","5","4","18","the likeness of anything that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth;"
"asv","5","4","19","and lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the host of heaven, thou be drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath allotted unto all the peoples under the whole heaven."
"asv","5","4","20","But Jehovah hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as at this day."
"asv","5","4","21","Furthermore Jehovah was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:"
"asv","5","4","22","but I must die in this land, I must not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess that good land."
"asv","5","4","23","Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image in the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee."
"asv","5","4","24","For Jehovah thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God."
"asv","5","4","25","When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger;"
"asv","5","4","26","I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed."
"asv","5","4","27","And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah shall lead you away."
"asv","5","4","28","And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell."
"asv","5","4","29","But from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, when thou searchest after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."
"asv","5","4","30","When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, in the latter days thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and hearken unto his voice:"
"asv","5","4","31","for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God; he will not fail thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them."
"asv","5","4","32","For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been  any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?"
"asv","5","4","33","Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?"
"asv","5","4","34","Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?"
"asv","5","4","35","Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that Jehovah he is God; there is none else besides him."
"asv","5","4","36","Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he made thee to see his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire."
"asv","5","4","37","And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out with his presence, with his great power, out of Egypt;"
"asv","5","4","38","to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as at this day."
"asv","5","4","39","Know therefore this day, and lay it to thy heart, that Jehovah he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath; there is none else."
"asv","5","4","40","And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days in the land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever."
"asv","5","4","41","Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;"
"asv","5","4","42","that the manslayer might flee thither, that slayeth his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in time past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:"
"asv","5","4","43"," namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites."
"asv","5","4","44","And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:"
"asv","5","4","45","these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, when they came forth out of Egypt,"
"asv","5","4","46","beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt."
"asv","5","4","47","And they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;"
"asv","5","4","48","from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, even unto mount Sion (the same is Hermon),"
"asv","5","4","49","and all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah."
"asv","5","5","1","And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them."
"asv","5","5","2","Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb."
"asv","5","5","3","Jehovah made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day."
"asv","5","5","4","Jehovah spake with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire"
"asv","5","5","5","(I stood between Jehovah and you at that time, to show you the word of Jehovah: for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount), saying,"
"asv","5","5","6","I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
"asv","5","5","7","Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"asv","5","5","8","Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image,  nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
"asv","5","5","9","thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I, Jehovah, thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me;"
"asv","5","5","10","and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments."
"asv","5","5","11","Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain: for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."
"asv","5","5","12","Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee."
"asv","5","5","13","Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;"
"asv","5","5","14","but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God:  in it  thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou."
"asv","5","5","15","And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day."
"asv","5","5","16","Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee; that thy days may be long, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"asv","5","5","17","Thou shalt not kill."
"asv","5","5","18","Neither shalt thou commit adultery."
"asv","5","5","19","Neither shalt thou steal."
"asv","5","5","20","Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor."
"asv","5","5","21","Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor’s wife; neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor’s house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or anything that is thy neighbor’s."
"asv","5","5","22","These words Jehovah spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them upon two tables of stone, and gave them unto me."
"asv","5","5","23","And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;"
"asv","5","5","24","and ye said, Behold, Jehovah our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth speak with man, and he liveth."
"asv","5","5","25","Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more, then we shall die."
"asv","5","5","26","For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?"
"asv","5","5","27","Go thou near, and hear all that Jehovah our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that Jehovah our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it."
"asv","5","5","28","And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and Jehovah said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken."
"asv","5","5","29","Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!"
"asv","5","5","30","Go say to them, Return ye to your tents."
"asv","5","5","31","But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it."
"asv","5","5","32","Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left."
"asv","5","5","33","Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess."
"asv","5","6","1","Now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it;"
"asv","5","6","2","that thou mightest fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged."
"asv","5","6","3","Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey."
"asv","5","6","4","Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:"
"asv","5","6","5","and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."
"asv","5","6","6","And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart;"
"asv","5","6","7","and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
"asv","5","6","8","And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes."
"asv","5","6","9","And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates."
"asv","5","6","10","And it shall be, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee, great and goodly cities, which thou buildest not,"
"asv","5","6","11","and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and cisterns hewn out, which thou hewedst not, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou plantedst not, and thou shalt eat and be full;"
"asv","5","6","12","then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
"asv","5","6","13","Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; and him shalt thou serve, and shalt swear by his name."
"asv","5","6","14","Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples that are round about you;"
"asv","5","6","15","for Jehovah thy God in the midst of thee is a jealous God; lest the anger of Jehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and he destroy thee from off the face of the earth."
"asv","5","6","16","Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah."
"asv","5","6","17","Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee."
"asv","5","6","18","And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Jehovah; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers,"
"asv","5","6","19","to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken."
"asv","5","6","20","When thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?"
"asv","5","6","21","then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt: and Jehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;"
"asv","5","6","22","and Jehovah showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his house, before our eyes;"
"asv","5","6","23","and he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers."
"asv","5","6","24","And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day."
"asv","5","6","25","And it shall be righteousness unto us, if we observe to do all this commandment before Jehovah our God, as he hath commanded us."
"asv","5","7","1","When Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;"
"asv","5","7","2","and when Jehovah thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them: thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them;"
"asv","5","7","3","neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son."
"asv","5","7","4","For he will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly."
"asv","5","7","5","But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire."
"asv","5","7","6","For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God: Jehovah thy God hath chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth."
"asv","5","7","7","Jehovah did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all peoples:"
"asv","5","7","8","but because Jehovah loveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt."
"asv","5","7","9","Know therefore that Jehovah thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,"
"asv","5","7","10","and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face."
"asv","5","7","11","Thou shalt therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them."
"asv","5","7","12","And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Jehovah thy God will keep with thee the covenant and the lovingkindness which he sware unto thy fathers:"
"asv","5","7","13","and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; he will also bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground, thy grain and thy new wine and thine oil, the increase of thy cattle and the young of thy flock, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee."
"asv","5","7","14","Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle."
"asv","5","7","15","And Jehovah will take away from thee all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he put upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that hate thee."
"asv","5","7","16","And thou shalt consume all the peoples that Jehovah thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee."
"asv","5","7","17","If thou shalt say in thy heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?"
"asv","5","7","18","thou shalt not be afraid of them: thou shalt well remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;"
"asv","5","7","19","the great trials which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby Jehovah thy God brought thee out: so shall Jehovah thy God do unto all the peoples of whom thou art afraid."
"asv","5","7","20","Moreover Jehovah thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves, perish from before thee."
"asv","5","7","21","Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and a terrible."
"asv","5","7","22","And Jehovah thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee."
"asv","5","7","23","But Jehovah thy God will deliver them up before thee, and will discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed."
"asv","5","7","24","And he will deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them."
"asv","5","7","25","The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein; for it is an abomination to Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","7","26","And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, and become a devoted thing like unto it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing."
"asv","5","8","1","All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers."
"asv","5","8","2","And thou shalt remember all the way which Jehovah thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble thee, to prove thee, to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or not."
"asv","5","8","3","And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by everything that proceedeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live."
"asv","5","8","4","Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years."
"asv","5","8","5","And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so Jehovah thy God chasteneth thee."
"asv","5","8","6","And thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him."
"asv","5","8","7","For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;"
"asv","5","8","8","a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey;"
"asv","5","8","9","a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig copper."
"asv","5","8","10","And thou shalt eat and be full, and thou shalt bless Jehovah thy God for the good land which he hath given thee."
"asv","5","8","11","Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:"
"asv","5","8","12","lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;"
"asv","5","8","13","and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;"
"asv","5","8","14","then thy heart be lifted up, and thou forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;"
"asv","5","8","15","who led thee through the great and terrible wilderness,  wherein were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;"
"asv","5","8","16","who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end:"
"asv","5","8","17","and  lest thou say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth."
"asv","5","8","18","But thou shalt remember Jehovah thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as at this day."
"asv","5","8","19","And it shall be, if thou shalt forget Jehovah thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish."
"asv","5","8","20","As the nations that Jehovah maketh to perish before you, so shall ye perish; because ye would not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah your God."
"asv","5","9","1","Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,"
"asv","5","9","2","a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?"
"asv","5","9","3","Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee: so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath spoken unto thee."
"asv","5","9","4","Speak not thou in thy heart, after that Jehovah thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah doth drive them out from before thee."
"asv","5","9","5","Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
"asv","5","9","6","Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people."
"asv","5","9","7","Remember, forget thou not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah."
"asv","5","9","8","Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you."
"asv","5","9","9","When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water."
"asv","5","9","10","And Jehovah delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them  was written according to all the words, which Jehovah spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly."
"asv","5","9","11","And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant."
"asv","5","9","12","And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image."
"asv","5","9","13","Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:"
"asv","5","9","14","let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they."
"asv","5","9","15","So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands."
"asv","5","9","16","And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God; ye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you."
"asv","5","9","17","And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes."
"asv","5","9","18","And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger."
"asv","5","9","19","For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also."
"asv","5","9","20","And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time."
"asv","5","9","21","And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount."
"asv","5","9","22","And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath."
"asv","5","9","23","And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice."
"asv","5","9","24","Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you."
"asv","5","9","25","So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you."
"asv","5","9","26","And I prayed unto Jehovah, and said, O Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand."
"asv","5","9","27","Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,"
"asv","5","9","28","lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness."
"asv","5","9","29","Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm."
"asv","5","10","1","At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood."
"asv","5","10","2","And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark."
"asv","5","10","3","So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in my hand."
"asv","5","10","4","And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Jehovah gave them unto me."
"asv","5","10","5","And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Jehovah commanded me."
"asv","5","10","6","(And the children of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his stead."
"asv","5","10","7","From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water."
"asv","5","10","8","At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day."
"asv","5","10","9","Wherefore Levi hath no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spake unto him.)"
"asv","5","10","10","And I stayed in the mount, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also; Jehovah would not destroy thee."
"asv","5","10","11","And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them."
"asv","5","10","12","And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,"
"asv","5","10","13","to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?"
"asv","5","10","14","Behold, unto Jehovah thy God belongeth heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein."
"asv","5","10","15","Only Jehovah had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day."
"asv","5","10","16","Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked."
"asv","5","10","17","For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward."
"asv","5","10","18","He doth execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loveth the sojourner, in giving him food and raiment."
"asv","5","10","19","Love ye therefore the sojourner; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt."
"asv","5","10","20","Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear."
"asv","5","10","21","He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen."
"asv","5","10","22","Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude."
"asv","5","11","1","Therefore thou shalt love Jehovah thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, alway."
"asv","5","11","2","And know ye this day: for  I speak not with your children that have not known, and that have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,"
"asv","5","11","3","and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;"
"asv","5","11","4","and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Jehovah hath destroyed them unto this day;"
"asv","5","11","5","and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;"
"asv","5","11","6","and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:"
"asv","5","11","7","but your eyes have seen all the great work of Jehovah which he did."
"asv","5","11","8","Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it;"
"asv","5","11","9","and that ye may prolong your days in the land, which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey."
"asv","5","11","10","For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs;"
"asv","5","11","11","but the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys,  and drinketh water of the rain of heaven,"
"asv","5","11","12","a land which Jehovah thy God careth for: the eyes of Jehovah thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year."
"asv","5","11","13","And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,"
"asv","5","11","14","that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy grain, and thy new wine, and thine oil."
"asv","5","11","15","And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full."
"asv","5","11","16","Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;"
"asv","5","11","17","and the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and he shut up the heavens, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which Jehovah giveth you."
"asv","5","11","18","Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes."
"asv","5","11","19","And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up."
"asv","5","11","20","And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates;"
"asv","5","11","21","that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth."
"asv","5","11","22","For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;"
"asv","5","11","23","then will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves."
"asv","5","11","24","Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border."
"asv","5","11","25","There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you."
"asv","5","11","26","Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:"
"asv","5","11","27","the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;"
"asv","5","11","28","and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known."
"asv","5","11","29","And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal."
"asv","5","11","30","Are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?"
"asv","5","11","31","For ye are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein."
"asv","5","11","32","And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day."
"asv","5","12","1","These are the statutes and the ordinances which ye shall observe to do in the land which Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath given thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth."
"asv","5","12","2","Ye shall surely destroy all the places wherein the nations that ye shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:"
"asv","5","12","3","and ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods; and ye shall destroy their name out of that place."
"asv","5","12","4","Ye shall not do so unto Jehovah your God."
"asv","5","12","5","But unto the place which Jehovah your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;"
"asv","5","12","6","and thither ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock:"
"asv","5","12","7","and there ye shall eat before Jehovah your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee."
"asv","5","12","8","Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes;"
"asv","5","12","9","for ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"asv","5","12","10","But when ye go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Jehovah your God causeth you to inherit, and he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;"
"asv","5","12","11","then it shall come to pass that to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto Jehovah."
"asv","5","12","12","And ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite that is within your gates, forasmuch as he hath no portion nor inheritance with you."
"asv","5","12","13","Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou seest;"
"asv","5","12","14","but in the place which Jehovah shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee."
"asv","5","12","15","Notwithstanding, thou mayest kill and eat flesh within all thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart."
"asv","5","12","16","Only ye shall not eat the blood; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water."
"asv","5","12","17","Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy grain, or of thy new wine, or of thine oil, or the firstlings of thy herd or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill-offerings, nor the heave-offering of thy hand;"
"asv","5","12","18","but thou shalt eat them before Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God in all that thou puttest thy hand unto."
"asv","5","12","19","Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest in thy land."
"asv","5","12","20","When Jehovah thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul desireth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, after all the desire of thy soul."
"asv","5","12","21","If the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to put his name there, be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which Jehovah hath given thee, as I have commanded thee; and thou mayest eat within thy gates, after all the desire of thy soul."
"asv","5","12","22","Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat thereof: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof alike."
"asv","5","12","23","Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh."
"asv","5","12","24","Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water."
"asv","5","12","25","Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah."
"asv","5","12","26","Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which Jehovah shall choose;"
"asv","5","12","27","and thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of Jehovah thy God; and thou shalt eat the flesh."
"asv","5","12","28","Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","12","29","When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest in to dispossess them, and thou dispossessest them, and dwellest in their land;"
"asv","5","12","30","take heed to thyself that thou be not ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise."
"asv","5","12","31","Thou shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods."
"asv","5","12","32","What thing soever I command you, that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it."
"asv","5","13","1","If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder,"
"asv","5","13","2","and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;"
"asv","5","13","3","thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul."
"asv","5","13","4","Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him."
"asv","5","13","5","And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he hath spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","13","6","If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, that is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;"
"asv","5","13","7","of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;"
"asv","5","13","8","thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:"
"asv","5","13","9","but thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people."
"asv","5","13","10","And thou shalt stone him to death with stones, because he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
"asv","5","13","11","And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee."
"asv","5","13","12","If thou shalt hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to dwell there, saying,"
"asv","5","13","13","Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;"
"asv","5","13","14","then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee,"
"asv","5","13","15","thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword."
"asv","5","13","16","And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, unto Jehovah thy God: and it shall be a heap for ever; it shall not be built again."
"asv","5","13","17","And there shall cleave nought of the devoted thing to thy hand; that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;"
"asv","5","13","18","when thou shalt hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","14","1","Ye are the children of Jehovah your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead."
"asv","5","14","2","For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah hath chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth."
"asv","5","14","3","Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing."
"asv","5","14","4","These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,"
"asv","5","14","5","the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois."
"asv","5","14","6","And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat."
"asv","5","14","7","Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney; because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you."
"asv","5","14","8","And the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch."
"asv","5","14","9","These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;"
"asv","5","14","10","and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you."
"asv","5","14","11","Of all clean birds ye may eat."
"asv","5","14","12","But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,"
"asv","5","14","13","and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,"
"asv","5","14","14","and every raven after its kind,"
"asv","5","14","15","and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,"
"asv","5","14","16","the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,"
"asv","5","14","17","and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,"
"asv","5","14","18","and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat."
"asv","5","14","19","And all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten."
"asv","5","14","20","Of all clean birds ye may eat."
"asv","5","14","21","Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the sojourner that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk."
"asv","5","14","22","Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth from the field year by year."
"asv","5","14","23","And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God always."
"asv","5","14","24","And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee;"
"asv","5","14","25","then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose:"
"asv","5","14","26","and thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household."
"asv","5","14","27","And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee."
"asv","5","14","28","At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:"
"asv","5","14","29","and the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest."
"asv","5","15","1","At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release."
"asv","5","15","2","And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he hath lent unto his neighbor; he shall not exact it of his neighbor and his brother; because Jehovah’s release hath been proclaimed."
"asv","5","15","3","Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it: but whatsoever of thine is with thy brother thy hand shall release."
"asv","5","15","4","Howbeit there shall be no poor with thee (for Jehovah will surely bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it),"
"asv","5","15","5","if only thou diligently hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this commandment which I command thee this day."
"asv","5","15","6","For Jehovah thy God will bless thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over thee."
"asv","5","15","7","If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother;"
"asv","5","15","8","but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need  in that which he wanteth."
"asv","5","15","9","Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto Jehovah against thee, and it be sin unto thee."
"asv","5","15","10","Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto."
"asv","5","15","11","For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land."
"asv","5","15","12","If thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee."
"asv","5","15","13","And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty:"
"asv","5","15","14","thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him."
"asv","5","15","15","And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to-day."
"asv","5","15","16","And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go out from thee; because he loveth thee and thy house, because he is well with thee;"
"asv","5","15","17","then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise."
"asv","5","15","18","It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years: and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest."
"asv","5","15","19","All the firstling males that are born of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto Jehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy herd, nor shear the firstling of thy flock."
"asv","5","15","20","Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy God year by year in the place which Jehovah shall choose, thou and thy household."
"asv","5","15","21","And if it have any blemish,  as if it be lame or blind, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","15","22","Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart."
"asv","5","15","23","Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it out upon the ground as water."
"asv","5","16","1","Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Jehovah thy God; for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night."
"asv","5","16","2","And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto Jehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there."
"asv","5","16","3","Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life."
"asv","5","16","4","And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the morning."
"asv","5","16","5","Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee;"
"asv","5","16","6","but at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt."
"asv","5","16","7","And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents."
"asv","5","16","8","Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt do no work  therein."
"asv","5","16","9","Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing grain shalt thou begin to number seven weeks."
"asv","5","16","10","And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God blesseth thee:"
"asv","5","16","11","and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there."
"asv","5","16","12","And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes."
"asv","5","16","13","Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress:"
"asv","5","16","14","and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates."
"asv","5","16","15","Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose; because Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful."
"asv","5","16","16","Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty:"
"asv","5","16","17","every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee."
"asv","5","16","18","Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, according to thy tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment."
"asv","5","16","19","Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous."
"asv","5","16","20","That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"asv","5","16","21","Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou shalt make thee."
"asv","5","16","22","Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar; which Jehovah thy God hateth."
"asv","5","17","1","Thou shalt not sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish,  or anything evil; for that is an abomination unto Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","17","2","If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, in transgressing his covenant,"
"asv","5","17","3","and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded,"
"asv","5","17","4","and it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it; then shalt thou inquire diligently; and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,"
"asv","5","17","5","then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them to death with stones."
"asv","5","17","6","At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death."
"asv","5","17","7","The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","17","8","If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose;"
"asv","5","17","9","and thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days: and thou shalt inquire; and they shall show thee the sentence of judgment."
"asv","5","17","10","And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence which they shall show thee from that place which Jehovah shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee:"
"asv","5","17","11","according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall show thee, to the right hand, nor to the left."
"asv","5","17","12","And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before Jehovah thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel."
"asv","5","17","13","And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously."
"asv","5","17","14","When thou art come unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me;"
"asv","5","17","15","thou shalt surely set him king over thee, whom Jehovah thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother."
"asv","5","17","16","Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; forasmuch as Jehovah hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way."
"asv","5","17","17","Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold."
"asv","5","17","18","And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of  that which is  before the priests the Levites:"
"asv","5","17","19","and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;"
"asv","5","17","20","that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel."
"asv","5","18","1","The priests the Levites,  even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and his inheritance."
"asv","5","18","2","And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: Jehovah is their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them."
"asv","5","18","3","And this shall be the priests’ due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw."
"asv","5","18","4","The first-fruits of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him."
"asv","5","18","5","For Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Jehovah, him and his sons for ever."
"asv","5","18","6","And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah shall choose;"
"asv","5","18","7","then he shall minister in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before Jehovah."
"asv","5","18","8","They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony."
"asv","5","18","9","When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations."
"asv","5","18","10","There shall not be found with thee any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, one that practiseth augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,"
"asv","5","18","11","or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer."
"asv","5","18","12","For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah: and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out from before thee."
"asv","5","18","13","Thou shalt be perfect with Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","18","14","For these nations, that thou shalt dispossess, hearken unto them that practise augury, and unto diviners; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee so to do."
"asv","5","18","15","Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;"
"asv","5","18","16","according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not."
"asv","5","18","17","And Jehovah said unto me, They have well said that which they have spoken."
"asv","5","18","18","I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
"asv","5","18","19","And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."
"asv","5","18","20","But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die."
"asv","5","18","21","And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken?"
"asv","5","18","22","when a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him."
"asv","5","19","1","When Jehovah thy God shall cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;"
"asv","5","19","2","thou shalt set apart three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it."
"asv","5","19","3","Thou shalt prepare thee the way, and divide the borders of thy land, which Jehovah thy God causeth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every manslayer may flee thither."
"asv","5","19","4","And this is the case of the manslayer, that shall flee thither and live: whoso killeth his neighbor unawares, and hated him not in time past;"
"asv","5","19","5","as when a man goeth into the forest with his neighbor to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbor, so that he dieth; he shall flee unto one of these cities and live:"
"asv","5","19","6","lest the avenger of blood pursue the manslayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and smite him mortally; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past."
"asv","5","19","7","Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt set apart three cities for thee."
"asv","5","19","8","And if Jehovah thy God enlarge thy border, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;"
"asv","5","19","9","if thou shalt keep all this commandment to do it, which I command thee this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, besides these three:"
"asv","5","19","10","that innocent blood be not shed in the midst of thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee."
"asv","5","19","11","But if any man hate his neighbor, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally so that he dieth, and he flee into one of these cities;"
"asv","5","19","12","then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die."
"asv","5","19","13","Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee."
"asv","5","19","14","Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor’s landmark, which they of old time have set, in thine inheritance which thou shalt inherit, in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it."
"asv","5","19","15","One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall a matter be established."
"asv","5","19","16","If an unrighteous witness rise up against any man to testify against him of wrong-doing,"
"asv","5","19","17","then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days;"
"asv","5","19","18","and the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and have testified falsely against his brother;"
"asv","5","19","19","then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to do unto his brother: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","19","20","And those that remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee."
"asv","5","19","21","And thine eyes shall not pity; life  shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."
"asv","5","20","1","When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots,  and a people more than thou, thou shalt not be afraid of them; for Jehovah thy God is with thee, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","5","20","2","And it shall be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,"
"asv","5","20","3","and shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye draw nigh this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your heart faint; fear not, nor tremble, neither be ye affrighted at them;"
"asv","5","20","4","for Jehovah your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
"asv","5","20","5","And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it."
"asv","5","20","6","And what man is there that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not used the fruit thereof? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man use the fruit thereof."
"asv","5","20","7","And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her."
"asv","5","20","8","And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and faint-hearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren’s heart melt as his heart."
"asv","5","20","9","And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall appoint captains of hosts at the head of the people."
"asv","5","20","10","When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it."
"asv","5","20","11","And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that are found therein shall become tributary unto thee, and shall serve thee."
"asv","5","20","12","And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:"
"asv","5","20","13","and when Jehovah thy God delivereth it into thy hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:"
"asv","5","20","14","but the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee."
"asv","5","20","15","Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations."
"asv","5","20","16","But of the cities of these peoples, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth;"
"asv","5","20","17","but thou shalt utterly destroy them: the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee;"
"asv","5","20","18","that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so would ye sin against Jehovah your God."
"asv","5","20","19","When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of thee?"
"asv","5","20","20","Only the trees of which thou knowest that they are not trees for food, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it fall."
"asv","5","21","1","If one be found slain in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath smitten him;"
"asv","5","21","2","then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:"
"asv","5","21","3","and it shall be, that the city which is nearest unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take a heifer of the herd, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;"
"asv","5","21","4","and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a valley with running water, which is neither plowed nor sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley."
"asv","5","21","5","And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them Jehovah thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of Jehovah; and according to their word shall every controversy and every stroke be."
"asv","5","21","6","And all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley;"
"asv","5","21","7","and they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it."
"asv","5","21","8","Forgive, O Jehovah, thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and suffer not innocent blood  to remain in the midst of thy people Israel. And the blood shall be forgiven them."
"asv","5","21","9","So shalt thou put away the innocent blood from the midst of thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah."
"asv","5","21","10","When thou goest forth to battle against thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God delivereth them into thy hands, and thou carriest them away captive,"
"asv","5","21","11","and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and thou hast a desire unto her, and wouldest take her to thee to wife;"
"asv","5","21","12","then thou shalt bring her home to thy house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;"
"asv","5","21","13","and she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife."
"asv","5","21","14","And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not deal with her as a slave, because thou hast humbled her."
"asv","5","21","15","If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that was hated;"
"asv","5","21","16","then it shall be, in the day that he causeth his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved the first-born before the son of the hated, who is the first-born:"
"asv","5","21","17","but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the first-born is his."
"asv","5","21","18","If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them;"
"asv","5","21","19","then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;"
"asv","5","21","20","and they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard."
"asv","5","21","21","And all the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."
"asv","5","21","22","And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree;"
"asv","5","21","23","his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is accursed of God; that thou defile not thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."
"asv","5","22","1","Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely bring them again unto thy brother."
"asv","5","22","2","And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it home to thy house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him."
"asv","5","22","3","And so shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his garment; and so shalt thou do with every lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found: thou mayest not hide thyself."
"asv","5","22","4","Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again."
"asv","5","22","5","A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","22","6","If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:"
"asv","5","22","7","thou shalt surely let the dam go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days."
"asv","5","22","8","When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any man fall from thence."
"asv","5","22","9","Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which thou hast sown, and the increase of the vineyard."
"asv","5","22","10","Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together."
"asv","5","22","11","Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff, wool and linen together."
"asv","5","22","12","Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four borders of thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest thyself."
"asv","5","22","13","If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,"
"asv","5","22","14","and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came nigh to her, I found not in her the tokens of virginity;"
"asv","5","22","15","then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate;"
"asv","5","22","16","and the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;"
"asv","5","22","17","and, lo, he hath laid shameful things  to her charge, saying, I found not in thy daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city."
"asv","5","22","18","And the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;"
"asv","5","22","19","and they shall fine him a hundred  shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days."
"asv","5","22","20","But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the damsel;"
"asv","5","22","21","then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father’s house: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","22","22","If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away the evil from Israel."
"asv","5","22","23","If there be a damsel that is a virgin betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;"
"asv","5","22","24","then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them to death with stones; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbor’s wife: so thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","22","25","But if the man find the damsel that is betrothed in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die:"
"asv","5","22","26","but unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbor, and slayeth him, even so is this matter;"
"asv","5","22","27","for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her."
"asv","5","22","28","If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, that is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;"
"asv","5","22","29","then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days."
"asv","5","22","30","A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt."
"asv","5","23","1","He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah."
"asv","5","23","2","A bastard shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of Jehovah."
"asv","5","23","3","An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of Jehovah for ever:"
"asv","5","23","4","because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee."
"asv","5","23","5","Nevertheless Jehovah thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but Jehovah thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because Jehovah thy God loved thee."
"asv","5","23","6","Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever."
"asv","5","23","7","Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land."
"asv","5","23","8","The children of the third generation that are born unto them shall enter into the assembly of Jehovah."
"asv","5","23","9","When thou goest forth in camp against thine enemies, then thou shalt keep thee from every evil thing."
"asv","5","23","10","If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of that which chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:"
"asv","5","23","11","but it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp."
"asv","5","23","12","Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:"
"asv","5","23","13","and thou shalt have a paddle among thy weapons; and it shall be, when thou sittest down abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:"
"asv","5","23","14","for Jehovah thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee."
"asv","5","23","15","Thou shalt not deliver unto his master a servant that is escaped from his master unto thee:"
"asv","5","23","16","he shall dwell with thee, in the midst of thee, in the place which he shall choose within one of thy gates, where it pleaseth him best: thou shalt not oppress him."
"asv","5","23","17","There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel."
"asv","5","23","18","Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the wages of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","23","19","Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest."
"asv","5","23","20","Unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it."
"asv","5","23","21","When thou shalt vow a vow unto Jehovah thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for Jehovah thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee."
"asv","5","23","22","But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee."
"asv","5","23","23","That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt observe and do; according as thou hast vowed unto Jehovah thy God, a freewill-offering, which thou hast promised with thy mouth."
"asv","5","23","24","When thou comest into thy neighbor’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat of grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel."
"asv","5","23","25","When thou comest into thy neighbor’s standing grain, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbor’s standing grain."
"asv","5","24","1","When a man taketh a wife, and marrieth her, then it shall be, if she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some unseemly thing in her, that he shall write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house."
"asv","5","24","2","And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s  wife."
"asv","5","24","3","And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, who took her to be his wife;"
"asv","5","24","4","her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before Jehovah: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."
"asv","5","24","5","When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken."
"asv","5","24","6","No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; for he taketh  a man’s life to pledge."
"asv","5","24","7","If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee."
"asv","5","24","8","Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do."
"asv","5","24","9","Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam, by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt."
"asv","5","24","10","When thou dost lend thy neighbor any manner of loan, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge."
"asv","5","24","11","Thou shalt stand without, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring forth the pledge without unto thee."
"asv","5","24","12","And if he be a poor man, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge;"
"asv","5","24","13","thou shalt surely restore to him the pledge when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","24","14","Thou shalt not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy sojourners that are in thy land within thy gates:"
"asv","5","24","15","in his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it (for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it); lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it be sin unto thee."
"asv","5","24","16","The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin."
"asv","5","24","17","Thou shalt not wrest the justice  due to the sojourner, or to the fatherless, nor take the widow’s raiment to pledge;"
"asv","5","24","18","but thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and Jehovah thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing."
"asv","5","24","19","When thou reapest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hands."
"asv","5","24","20","When thou beatest thine olive-tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow."
"asv","5","24","21","When thou gatherest  the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it after thee: it shall be for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow."
"asv","5","24","22","And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing."
"asv","5","25","1","If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked."
"asv","5","25","2","And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number."
"asv","5","25","3","Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee."
"asv","5","25","4","Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out  the grain."
"asv","5","25","5","If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married without unto a stranger: her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her."
"asv","5","25","6","And it shall be, that the first-born that she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother that is dead, that his name be not blotted out of Israel."
"asv","5","25","7","And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto me."
"asv","5","25","8","Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand, and say, I like not to take her;"
"asv","5","25","9","then shall his brother’s wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother’s house."
"asv","5","25","10","And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed."
"asv","5","25","11","When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets;"
"asv","5","25","12","then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall have no pity."
"asv","5","25","13","Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small."
"asv","5","25","14","Thou shalt not have in thy house diverse measures, a great and a small."
"asv","5","25","15","A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"asv","5","25","16","For all that do such things,  even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","25","17","Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt;"
"asv","5","25","18","how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God."
"asv","5","25","19","Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget."
"asv","5","26","1","And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein,"
"asv","5","26","2","that thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which thou shalt bring in from thy land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee; and thou shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there."
"asv","5","26","3","And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto Jehovah thy God, that I am come unto the land which Jehovah sware unto our fathers to give us."
"asv","5","26","4","And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","26","5","And thou shalt answer and say before Jehovah thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father; and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, few in number; and he became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous."
"asv","5","26","6","And the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:"
"asv","5","26","7","and we cried unto Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;"
"asv","5","26","8","and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders;"
"asv","5","26","9","and he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey."
"asv","5","26","10","And now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which thou, O Jehovah, hast given me. And thou shalt set it down before Jehovah thy God, and worship before Jehovah thy God:"
"asv","5","26","11","and thou shalt rejoice in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the sojourner that is in the midst of thee."
"asv","5","26","12","When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithe of thine increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then thou shalt give it unto the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled."
"asv","5","26","13","And thou shalt say before Jehovah thy God, I have put away the hallowed things out of my house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandment which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed any of thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:"
"asv","5","26","14","I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I put away thereof, being unclean, nor given thereof for the dead: I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me."
"asv","5","26","15","Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the ground which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey."
"asv","5","26","16","This day Jehovah thy God commandeth thee to do these statutes and ordinances: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thy heart, and with all thy soul."
"asv","5","26","17","Thou hast avouched Jehovah this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and hearken unto his voice:"
"asv","5","26","18","and Jehovah hath avouched thee this day to be a people for his own possession, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;"
"asv","5","26","19","and to make thee high above all nations that he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor; and that thou mayest be a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken."
"asv","5","27","1","And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day."
"asv","5","27","2","And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:"
"asv","5","27","3","and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over; that thou mayest go in unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath promised thee."
"asv","5","27","4","And it shall be, when ye are passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster."
"asv","5","27","5","And there shalt thou build an altar unto Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt lift up no iron  tool upon them."
"asv","5","27","6","Thou shalt build the altar of Jehovah thy God of unhewn stones; and thou shalt offer burnt-offerings thereon unto Jehovah thy God:"
"asv","5","27","7","and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there; and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","27","8","And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly."
"asv","5","27","9","And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and hearken, O Israel: This day thou art become the people of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","27","10","Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day."
"asv","5","27","11","And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,"
"asv","5","27","12","These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin."
"asv","5","27","13","And these shall stand upon mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali."
"asv","5","27","14","And the Levites shall answer, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,"
"asv","5","27","15","Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination unto Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and setteth it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","16","Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","17","Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","18","Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","19","Cursed be he that wresteth the justice  due to the sojourner, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","20","Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife, because he hath uncovered his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","21","Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","22","Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","23","Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","24","Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbor in secret. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","25","Cursed be he that taketh a bribe to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","27","26","Cursed be he that confirmeth not the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen."
"asv","5","28","1","And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Jehovah thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth:"
"asv","5","28","2","and all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","28","3","Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field."
"asv","5","28","4","Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy beasts, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock."
"asv","5","28","5","Blessed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough."
"asv","5","28","6","Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out."
"asv","5","28","7","Jehovah will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee: they shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee seven ways."
"asv","5","28","8","Jehovah will command the blessing upon thee in thy barns, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto; and he will bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee."
"asv","5","28","9","Jehovah will establish thee for a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee; if thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways."
"asv","5","28","10","And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of Jehovah; and they shall be afraid of thee."
"asv","5","28","11","And Jehovah will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers to give thee."
"asv","5","28","12","Jehovah will open unto thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow."
"asv","5","28","13","And Jehovah will make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do  them,"
"asv","5","28","14","and shalt not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them."
"asv","5","28","15","But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee."
"asv","5","28","16","Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field."
"asv","5","28","17","Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough."
"asv","5","28","18","Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock."
"asv","5","28","19","Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out."
"asv","5","28","20","Jehovah will send upon thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou puttest thy hand unto to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the evil of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me."
"asv","5","28","21","Jehovah will make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest in to possess it."
"asv","5","28","22","Jehovah will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish."
"asv","5","28","23","And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron."
"asv","5","28","24","Jehovah will make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
"asv","5","28","25","Jehovah will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out one way against them, and shalt flee seven ways before them: and thou shalt be tossed to and from among all the kingdoms of the earth."
"asv","5","28","26","And thy dead body shall be food unto all birds of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to frighten them away."
"asv","5","28","27","Jehovah will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed."
"asv","5","28","28","Jehovah will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;"
"asv","5","28","29","and thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and robbed alway, and there shall be none to save thee."
"asv","5","28","30","Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not use the fruit thereof."
"asv","5","28","31","Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save thee."
"asv","5","28","32","Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people; and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day: and there shall be nought in the power of thy hand."
"asv","5","28","33","The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway;"
"asv","5","28","34","so that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."
"asv","5","28","35","Jehovah will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the crown of thy head."
"asv","5","28","36","Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation that thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone."
"asv","5","28","37","And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples whither Jehovah shall lead thee away."
"asv","5","28","38","Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather little in; for the locust shall consume it."
"asv","5","28","39","Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather  the grapes; for the worm shall eat them."
"asv","5","28","40","Thou shalt have olive-trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast  its fruit."
"asv","5","28","41","Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine; for they shall go into captivity."
"asv","5","28","42","All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess."
"asv","5","28","43","The sojourner that is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher; and thou shalt come down lower and lower."
"asv","5","28","44","He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail."
"asv","5","28","45","And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:"
"asv","5","28","46","and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever."
"asv","5","28","47","Because thou servedst not Jehovah thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;"
"asv","5","28","48","therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies that Jehovah shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee."
"asv","5","28","49","Jehovah will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;"
"asv","5","28","50","a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,"
"asv","5","28","51","and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed; that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish."
"asv","5","28","52","And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land; and they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath given thee."
"asv","5","28","53","And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Jehovah thy God hath given thee, in the siege and in the distress wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee."
"asv","5","28","54","The man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children whom he hath remaining;"
"asv","5","28","55","so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he hath nothing left him, in the siege and in the distress wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates."
"asv","5","28","56","The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,"
"asv","5","28","57","and toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children whom she shall bear; for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly, in the siege and in the distress wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates."
"asv","5","28","58","If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD;"
"asv","5","28","59","then Jehovah will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance."
"asv","5","28","60","And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee."
"asv","5","28","61","Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Jehovah bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
"asv","5","28","62","And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","5","28","63","And it shall come to pass, that, as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so Jehovah will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest in to possess it."
"asv","5","28","64","And Jehovah will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone."
"asv","5","28","65","And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot: but Jehovah will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul;"
"asv","5","28","66","and thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear night and day, and shalt have no assurance of thy life."
"asv","5","28","67","In the morning thou shalt say, Would it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see."
"asv","5","28","68","And Jehovah will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall sell yourselves unto your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you."
"asv","5","29","1","These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb."
"asv","5","29","2","And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;"
"asv","5","29","3","the great trials which thine eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders:"
"asv","5","29","4","but Jehovah hath not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day."
"asv","5","29","5","And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxed old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxed old upon thy foot."
"asv","5","29","6","Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink; that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","5","29","7","And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:"
"asv","5","29","8","and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites."
"asv","5","29","9","Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do."
"asv","5","29","10","Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,"
"asv","5","29","11","your little ones, your wives, and thy sojourner that is in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water;"
"asv","5","29","12","that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;"
"asv","5","29","13","that he may establish thee this day unto himself for a people, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he spake unto thee, and as he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
"asv","5","29","14","Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,"
"asv","5","29","15","but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day"
"asv","5","29","16","(for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed;"
"asv","5","29","17","and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);"
"asv","5","29","18","lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;"
"asv","5","29","19","and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry."
"asv","5","29","20","Jehovah will not pardon him, but then the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and Jehovah will blot out his name from under heaven."
"asv","5","29","21","And Jehovah will set him apart unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law."
"asv","5","29","22","And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath made it sick;"
"asv","5","29","23"," and that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and a burning,  that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:"
"asv","5","29","24","even all the nations shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?"
"asv","5","29","25","Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,"
"asv","5","29","26","and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given unto them:"
"asv","5","29","27","therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;"
"asv","5","29","28","and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day."
"asv","5","29","29","The secret things belong unto Jehovah our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law."
"asv","5","30","1","And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee,"
"asv","5","30","2","and shalt return unto Jehovah thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul;"
"asv","5","30","3","that then Jehovah thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the peoples, whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee."
"asv","5","30","4","If  any of thine outcasts be in the uttermost parts of heaven, from thence will Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:"
"asv","5","30","5","and Jehovah thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers."
"asv","5","30","6","And Jehovah thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live."
"asv","5","30","7","And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee."
"asv","5","30","8","And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Jehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day."
"asv","5","30","9","And Jehovah thy God will make thee plenteous in all the work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good: for Jehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers;"
"asv","5","30","10","if thou shalt obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul."
"asv","5","30","11","For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off."
"asv","5","30","12","It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?"
"asv","5","30","13","Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?"
"asv","5","30","14","But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it."
"asv","5","30","15","See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;"
"asv","5","30","16","in that I command thee this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that thou mayest live and multiply, and that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in the land whither thou goest in to possess it."
"asv","5","30","17","But if thy heart turn away, and thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;"
"asv","5","30","18","I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish; ye shall not prolong your days in the land, whither thou passest over the Jordan to go in to possess it."
"asv","5","30","19","I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;"
"asv","5","30","20","to love Jehovah thy God, to obey his voice, and to cleave unto him; for he is thy life, and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."
"asv","5","31","1","And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel."
"asv","5","31","2","And he said unto them, I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan."
"asv","5","31","3","Jehovah thy God, he will go over before thee; he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them:  and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken."
"asv","5","31","4","And Jehovah will do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and unto their land; whom he destroyed."
"asv","5","31","5","And Jehovah will deliver them up before you, and ye shall do unto them according unto all the commandment which I have commanded you."
"asv","5","31","6","Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them: for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
"asv","5","31","7","And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage: for thou shalt go with this people into the land which Jehovah hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it."
"asv","5","31","8","And Jehovah, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."
"asv","5","31","9","And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and unto all the elders of Israel."
"asv","5","31","10","And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of  every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,"
"asv","5","31","11","when all Israel is come to appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing."
"asv","5","31","12","Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear Jehovah your God, and observe to do all the words of this law;"
"asv","5","31","13","and that their children, who have not known, may hear, and learn to fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it."
"asv","5","31","14","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tent of meeting, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tent of meeting."
"asv","5","31","15","And Jehovah appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud: and the pillar of cloud stood over the door of the Tent."
"asv","5","31","16","And Jehovah said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and play the harlot after the strange gods of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them."
"asv","5","31","17","Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall come upon them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?"
"asv","5","31","18","And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods."
"asv","5","31","19","Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach thou it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel."
"asv","5","31","20","For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxed fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant."
"asv","5","31","21","And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are come upon them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I sware."
"asv","5","31","22","So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel."
"asv","5","31","23","And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee."
"asv","5","31","24","And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,"
"asv","5","31","25","that Moses commanded the Levites, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","5","31","26","Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee."
"asv","5","31","27","For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death?"
"asv","5","31","28","Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them."
"asv","5","31","29","For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands."
"asv","5","31","30","And Moses spake in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished."
"asv","5","32","1","Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak;And let the earth hear the words of my mouth."
"asv","5","32","2","My doctrine shall drop as the rain;My speech shall distil as the dew,As the small rain upon the tender grass,And as the showers upon the herb."
"asv","5","32","3","For I will proclaim the name of Jehovah:Ascribe ye greatness unto our God."
"asv","5","32","4","The Rock, his work is perfect;For all his ways are justice:A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,Just and right is he."
"asv","5","32","5","They have dealt corruptly with him,  they are not his children, it is their blemish; They are a perverse and crooked generation."
"asv","5","32","6","Do ye thus requite Jehovah,O foolish people and unwise?Is not he thy father that hath bought thee?He hath made thee, and established thee."
"asv","5","32","7","Remember the days of old,Consider the years of many generations:Ask thy father, and he will show thee;Thine elders, and they will tell thee."
"asv","5","32","8","When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,When he separated the children of men,He set the bounds of the peoplesAccording to the number of the children of Israel."
"asv","5","32","9","For Jehovah’s portion is his people;Jacob is the lot of his inheritance."
"asv","5","32","10","He found him in a desert land,And in the waste howling wilderness;He compassed him about, he cared for him,He kept him as the apple of his eye."
"asv","5","32","11","As an eagle that stirreth up her nest,That fluttereth over her young,He spread abroad his wings, he took them,He bare them on his pinions."
"asv","5","32","12","Jehovah alone did lead him,And there was no foreign god with him."
"asv","5","32","13","He made him ride on the high places of the earth,And he did eat the increase of the field;And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,And oil out of the flinty rock;"
"asv","5","32","14","Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock,With fat of lambs,And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,With the finest of the wheat;And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine."
"asv","5","32","15","But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:Thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek;Then he forsook God who made him,And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation."
"asv","5","32","16","They moved him to jealousy with strange  gods;With abominations provoked they him to anger."
"asv","5","32","17","They sacrificed unto demons,  which were no God,To gods that they knew not,To new  gods that came up of late,Which your fathers dreaded not."
"asv","5","32","18","Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth."
"asv","5","32","19","And Jehovah saw  it, and abhorred  them,Because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters."
"asv","5","32","20","And he said, I will hide my face from them,I will see what their end shall be:For they are a very perverse generation,Children in whom is no faithfulness."
"asv","5","32","21","They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;They have provoked me to anger with their vanities:And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people;I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation."
"asv","5","32","22","For a fire is kindled in mine anger,And burneth unto the lowest Sheol,And devoureth the earth with its increase,And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains."
"asv","5","32","23","I will heap evils upon them;I will spend mine arrows upon them:"
"asv","5","32","24"," They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heatAnd bitter destruction;And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them,With the poison of crawling things of the dust."
"asv","5","32","25","Without shall the sword bereave,And in the chambers terror; It shall destroy both young man and virgin,The suckling with the man of gray hairs."
"asv","5","32","26","I said, I would scatter them afar,I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;"
"asv","5","32","27","Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,Lest their adversaries should judge amiss,Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted,And Jehovah hath not done all this."
"asv","5","32","28","For they are a nation void of counsel,And there is no understanding in them."
"asv","5","32","29","Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,That they would consider their latter end!"
"asv","5","32","30","How should one chase a thousand,And two put ten thousand to flight,Except their Rock had sold them,And Jehovah had delivered them up?"
"asv","5","32","31","For their rock is not as our Rock,Even our enemies themselves being judges."
"asv","5","32","32","For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,And of the fields of Gomorrah:Their grapes are grapes of gall,Their clusters are bitter:"
"asv","5","32","33","Their wine is the poison of serpents,And the cruel venom of asps."
"asv","5","32","34","Is not this laid up in store with me,Sealed up among my treasures?"
"asv","5","32","35","Vengeance is mine, and recompense,At the time when their foot shall slide:For the day of their calamity is at hand,And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste."
"asv","5","32","36","For Jehovah will judge his people,And repent himself for his servants;When he seeth that  their power is gone,And there is none  remaining, shut up or left at large."
"asv","5","32","37","And he will say, Where are their gods,The rock in which they took refuge;"
"asv","5","32","38","Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink-offering?Let them rise up and help you,Let them be your protection."
"asv","5","32","39","See now that I, even I, am he,And there is no god with me:I kill, and I make alive;I wound, and I heal;And there is none that can deliver out of my hand."
"asv","5","32","40","For I lift up my hand to heaven,And say, As I live for ever,"
"asv","5","32","41","If I whet my glittering sword,And my hand take hold on judgment;I will render vengeance to mine adversaries,And will recompense them that hate me."
"asv","5","32","42","I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,And my sword shall devour flesh;With the blood of the slain and the captives,From the head of the leaders of the enemy."
"asv","5","32","43","Rejoice, O ye nations,  with his people:For he will avenge the blood of his servants,And will render vengeance to his adversaries,And will make expiation for his land, for his people."
"asv","5","32","44","And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun."
"asv","5","32","45","And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;"
"asv","5","32","46","and he said unto them, Set your heart unto all the words which I testify unto you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, even all the words of this law."
"asv","5","32","47","For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it."
"asv","5","32","48","And Jehovah spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,"
"asv","5","32","49","Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;"
"asv","5","32","50","and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:"
"asv","5","32","51","because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel."
"asv","5","32","52","For thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel."
"asv","5","33","1","And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death."
"asv","5","33","2","And he said,Jehovah came from Sinai,And rose from Seir unto them;He shined forth from mount Paran,And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones:At his right hand was a fiery law for them."
"asv","5","33","3","Yea, he loveth the people;All his saints are in thy hand:And they sat down at thy feet; Every one shall receive of thy words."
"asv","5","33","4","Moses commanded us a law,An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob."
"asv","5","33","5","And he was king in Jeshurun,When the heads of the people were gathered,All the tribes of Israel together."
"asv","5","33","6","Let Reuben live, and not die;Nor let his men be few."
"asv","5","33","7","And this is  the blessing of Judah: and he said,Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah,And bring him in unto his people.With his hands he contended for himself;And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries."
"asv","5","33","8","And of Levi he said,Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one,Whom thou didst prove at Massah,With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;"
"asv","5","33","9","Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him;Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,Nor knew he his own children:For they have observed thy word,And keep thy covenant."
"asv","5","33","10","They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances,And Israel thy law:They shall put incense before thee,And whole burnt-offering upon thine altar."
"asv","5","33","11","Bless, Jehovah, his substance,And accept the work of his hands:Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him,And of them that hate him, that they rise not again."
"asv","5","33","12","Of Benjamin he said,The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him;He covereth him all the day long,And he dwelleth between his shoulders."
"asv","5","33","13","And of Joseph he said,Blessed of Jehovah be his land,For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,And for the deep that coucheth beneath,"
"asv","5","33","14","And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,"
"asv","5","33","15","And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,"
"asv","5","33","16","And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof,And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush.Let  the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."
"asv","5","33","17","The firstling of his herd, majesty is his;And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox:With them he shall push the peoples all of them,  even the ends of the earth:And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,And they are the thousands of Manasseh."
"asv","5","33","18","And of Zebulun he said,Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out;And, Issachar, in thy tents."
"asv","5","33","19","They shall call the peoples unto the mountain;There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness:For they shall suck the abundance of the seas,And the hidden treasures of the sand."
"asv","5","33","20","And of Gad he said,Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad:He dwelleth as a lioness,And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head."
"asv","5","33","21","And he provided the first part for himself,For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved;And he came  with the heads of the people;He executed the righteousness of Jehovah,And his ordinances with Israel."
"asv","5","33","22","And of Dan he said,Dan is a lion’s whelp,That leapeth forth from Bashan."
"asv","5","33","23","And of Naphtali he said,O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,And full with the blessing of Jehovah,Possess thou the west and the south."
"asv","5","33","24","And of Asher he said,Blessed be Asher with children;Let him be acceptable unto his brethren,And let him dip his foot in oil."
"asv","5","33","25","Thy bars shall be iron and brass;And as thy days, so shall thy strength be."
"asv","5","33","26","There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun,Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help,And in his excellency on the skies."
"asv","5","33","27","The eternal God is  thy dwelling-place,And underneath are the everlasting arms.And he thrust out the enemy from before thee,And said, Destroy."
"asv","5","33","28","And Israel dwelleth in safety,The fountain of Jacob alone,In a land of grain and new wine;Yea, his heavens drop down dew."
"asv","5","33","29","Happy art thou, O Israel:Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah,The shield of thy help,And the sword of thy excellency!And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee;And thou shalt tread upon their high places."
"asv","5","34","1","And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And Jehovah showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,"
"asv","5","34","2","and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the hinder sea,"
"asv","5","34","3","and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar."
"asv","5","34","4","And Jehovah said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither."
"asv","5","34","5","So Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of Jehovah."
"asv","5","34","6","And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day."
"asv","5","34","7","And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated."
"asv","5","34","8","And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended."
"asv","5","34","9","And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","5","34","10","And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face,"
"asv","5","34","11","in all the signs and the wonders, which Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,"
"asv","5","34","12","and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moses wrought in the sight of all Israel."
"asv","6","1","1","Now it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,"
"asv","6","1","2","Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel."
"asv","6","1","3","Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses."
"asv","6","1","4","From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border."
"asv","6","1","5","There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
"asv","6","1","6","Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them."
"asv","6","1","7","Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest."
"asv","6","1","8","This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."
"asv","6","1","9","Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for Jehovah thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
"asv","6","1","10","Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,"
"asv","6","1","11","Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it."
"asv","6","1","12","And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,"
"asv","6","1","13","Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God giveth you rest, and will give you this land."
"asv","6","1","14","Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall abide in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but ye shall pass over before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them;"
"asv","6","1","15","until Jehovah have given your brethren rest, as  he hath given  you, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising."
"asv","6","1","16","And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us we will go."
"asv","6","1","17","According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only Jehovah thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses."
"asv","6","1","18","Whosoever he be that shall rebel against thy commandment, and shall not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage."
"asv","6","2","1","And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there."
"asv","6","2","2","And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land."
"asv","6","2","3","And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land."
"asv","6","2","4","And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were:"
"asv","6","2","5","and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; whither the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye will overtake them."
"asv","6","2","6","But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof."
"asv","6","2","7","And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate."
"asv","6","2","8","And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;"
"asv","6","2","9","and she said unto the men, I know that Jehovah hath given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you."
"asv","6","2","10","For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed."
"asv","6","2","11","And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Jehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath."
"asv","6","2","12","Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true token;"
"asv","6","2","13","and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death."
"asv","6","2","14","And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when Jehovah giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee."
"asv","6","2","15","Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall."
"asv","6","2","16","And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way."
"asv","6","2","17","And the men said unto her, We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear."
"asv","6","2","18","Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household."
"asv","6","2","19","And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him."
"asv","6","2","20","But if thou utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear."
"asv","6","2","21","And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window."
"asv","6","2","22","And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not."
"asv","6","2","23","Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them."
"asv","6","2","24","And they said unto Joshua, Truly Jehovah hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us."
"asv","6","3","1","And Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over."
"asv","6","3","2","And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;"
"asv","6","3","3","and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it."
"asv","6","3","4","Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore."
"asv","6","3","5","And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonders among you."
"asv","6","3","6","And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people."
"asv","6","3","7","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee."
"asv","6","3","8","And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan."
"asv","6","3","9","And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God."
"asv","6","3","10","And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite."
"asv","6","3","11","Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into the Jordan."
"asv","6","3","12","Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man."
"asv","6","3","13","And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap."
"asv","6","3","14","And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests that bare the ark of the covenant being before the people;"
"asv","6","3","15","and when they that bare the ark were come unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (for the Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest),"
"asv","6","3","16","that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho."
"asv","6","3","17","And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan."
"asv","6","4","1","And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,"
"asv","6","4","2","Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,"
"asv","6","4","3","and command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place, where ye shall lodge this night."
"asv","6","4","4","Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:"
"asv","6","4","5","and Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;"
"asv","6","4","6","that this may be a sign among you, that, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?"
"asv","6","4","7","then ye shall say unto them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever."
"asv","6","4","8","And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there."
"asv","6","4","9","And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day."
"asv","6","4","10","For the priests that bare the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over."
"asv","6","4","11","And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of Jehovah passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people."
"asv","6","4","12","And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:"
"asv","6","4","13","about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before Jehovah unto battle, to the plains of Jericho."
"asv","6","4","14","On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life."
"asv","6","4","15","And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,"
"asv","6","4","16","Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan."
"asv","6","4","17","Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan."
"asv","6","4","18","And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime."
"asv","6","4","19","And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho."
"asv","6","4","20","And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal."
"asv","6","4","21","And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?"
"asv","6","4","22","Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land."
"asv","6","4","23","For Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over;"
"asv","6","4","24","that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye may fear Jehovah your God for ever."
"asv","6","5","1","And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel."
"asv","6","5","2","At that time Jehovah said unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
"asv","6","5","3","And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins."
"asv","6","5","4","And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt."
"asv","6","5","5","For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised."
"asv","6","5","6","For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah: unto whom Jehovah sware that he would not let them see the land which Jehovah sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey."
"asv","6","5","7","And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way."
"asv","6","5","8","And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole."
"asv","6","5","9","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day."
"asv","6","5","10","And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho."
"asv","6","5","11","And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame day."
"asv","6","5","12","And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year."
"asv","6","5","13","And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?"
"asv","6","5","14","And he said, Nay; but  as prince of the host of Jehovah am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?"
"asv","6","5","15","And the prince of Jehovah’s host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so."
"asv","6","6","1","Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in."
"asv","6","6","2","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor."
"asv","6","6","3","And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days."
"asv","6","6","4","And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets."
"asv","6","6","5","And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him."
"asv","6","6","6","And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Jehovah."
"asv","6","6","7","And they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah."
"asv","6","6","8","And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Jehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them."
"asv","6","6","9","And the armed men went before the priests that blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark,  the priests blowing the trumpets as they went."
"asv","6","6","10","And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout."
"asv","6","6","11","So he caused the ark of Jehovah to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp."
"asv","6","6","12","And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah."
"asv","6","6","13","And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of Jehovah,  the priests blowing the trumpets as they went."
"asv","6","6","14","And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days."
"asv","6","6","15","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times."
"asv","6","6","16","And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Jehovah hath given you the city."
"asv","6","6","17","And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to Jehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent."
"asv","6","6","18","But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so would ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it."
"asv","6","6","19","But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto Jehovah: they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah."
"asv","6","6","20","So the people shouted, and  the priests blew the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city."
"asv","6","6","21","And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."
"asv","6","6","22","And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her."
"asv","6","6","23","And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel."
"asv","6","6","24","And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","6","6","25","But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel unto this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho."
"asv","6","6","26","And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it."
"asv","6","6","27","So Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land."
"asv","6","7","1","But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing: and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel."
"asv","6","7","2","And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai."
"asv","6","7","3","And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither; for they are but few."
"asv","6","7","4","So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai."
"asv","6","7","5","And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them  from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them at the descent: and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water."
"asv","6","7","6","And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads."
"asv","6","7","7","And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!"
"asv","6","7","8","Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies!"
"asv","6","7","9","For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do for thy great name?"
"asv","6","7","10","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy face?"
"asv","6","7","11","Israel hath sinned; yea, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also; and they have even put it among their own stuff."
"asv","6","7","12","Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the devoted thing from among you."
"asv","6","7","13","Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, There is a devoted thing in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the devoted thing from among you."
"asv","6","7","14","In the morning therefore ye shall be brought near by your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come near by families; and the family which Jehovah shall take shall come near by households; and the household which Jehovah shall take shall come near man by man."
"asv","6","7","15","And it shall be, that he that is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath; because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel."
"asv","6","7","16","So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:"
"asv","6","7","17","and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zerahites: and he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:"
"asv","6","7","18","and he brought near his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken."
"asv","6","7","19","And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me."
"asv","6","7","20","And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:"
"asv","6","7","21","when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it."
"asv","6","7","22","So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it."
"asv","6","7","23","And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel; and they laid them down before Jehovah."
"asv","6","7","24","And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them up unto the valley of Achor."
"asv","6","7","25","And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones."
"asv","6","7","26","And they raised over him a great heap of stones, unto this day; and Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day."
"asv","6","8","1","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;"
"asv","6","8","2","And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it."
"asv","6","8","3","So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night."
"asv","6","8","4","And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:"
"asv","6","8","5","and I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;"
"asv","6","8","6","and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;"
"asv","6","8","7","and ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand."
"asv","6","8","8","And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do: see, I have commanded you."
"asv","6","8","9","And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people."
"asv","6","8","10","And Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai."
"asv","6","8","11","And all the people,  even the  men of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai."
"asv","6","8","12","And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city."
"asv","6","8","13","So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley."
"asv","6","8","14","And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city."
"asv","6","8","15","And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness."
"asv","6","8","16","And all the people that were in the city were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city."
"asv","6","8","17","And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel."
"asv","6","8","18","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city."
"asv","6","8","19","And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and set the city on fire."
"asv","6","8","20","And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers."
"asv","6","8","21","And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai."
"asv","6","8","22","And the others came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape."
"asv","6","8","23","And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua."
"asv","6","8","24","And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword."
"asv","6","8","25","And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai."
"asv","6","8","26","For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai."
"asv","6","8","27","Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey unto themselves, according unto the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua."
"asv","6","8","28","So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day."
"asv","6","8","29","And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day."
"asv","6","8","30","Then Joshua built an altar unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,"
"asv","6","8","31","as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings."
"asv","6","8","32","And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel."
"asv","6","8","33","And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the homeborn; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel."
"asv","6","8","34","And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law."
"asv","6","8","35","There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners that were among them."
"asv","6","9","1","And it came to pass, when all the kings that were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;"
"asv","6","9","2","that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord."
"asv","6","9","3","But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,"
"asv","6","9","4","they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine-skins, old and rent and bound up,"
"asv","6","9","5","and old and patched shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become mouldy."
"asv","6","9","6","And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country: now therefore make ye a covenant with us."
"asv","6","9","7","And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?"
"asv","6","9","8","And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?"
"asv","6","9","9","And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of Jehovah thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,"
"asv","6","9","10","and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth."
"asv","6","9","11","And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: and now make ye a covenant with us."
"asv","6","9","12","This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy:"
"asv","6","9","13","and these wine-skins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey."
"asv","6","9","14","And the men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth of Jehovah."
"asv","6","9","15","And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them."
"asv","6","9","16","And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt among them."
"asv","6","9","17","And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim."
"asv","6","9","18","And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by Jehovah, the God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes."
"asv","6","9","19","But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by Jehovah, the God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them."
"asv","6","9","20","This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them."
"asv","6","9","21","And the princes said unto them, Let them live: so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them."
"asv","6","9","22","And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?"
"asv","6","9","23","Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondmen, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."
"asv","6","9","24","And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Jehovah thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing."
"asv","6","9","25","And now, behold, we are in thy hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do."
"asv","6","9","26","And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not."
"asv","6","9","27","And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, in the place which he should choose."
"asv","6","10","1","Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king), and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;"
"asv","6","10","2","that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty."
"asv","6","10","3","Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,"
"asv","6","10","4","Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."
"asv","6","10","5","Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it."
"asv","6","10","6","And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us."
"asv","6","10","7","So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor."
"asv","6","10","8","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee."
"asv","6","10","9","Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly;  for he went up from Gilgal all the night."
"asv","6","10","10","And Jehovah discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah."
"asv","6","10","11","And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that Jehovah cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword."
"asv","6","10","12","Then spake Joshua to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel,Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon;And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon."
"asv","6","10","13","And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed,Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies."
"asv","6","10","14","And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of a man: for Jehovah fought for Israel."
"asv","6","10","15","And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
"asv","6","10","16","And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah."
"asv","6","10","17","And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
"asv","6","10","18","And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:"
"asv","6","10","19","but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand."
"asv","6","10","20","And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,"
"asv","6","10","21","that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel."
"asv","6","10","22","Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave."
"asv","6","10","23","And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon."
"asv","6","10","24","And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them."
"asv","6","10","25","And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight."
"asv","6","10","26","And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening."
"asv","6","10","27","And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day."
"asv","6","10","28","And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho."
"asv","6","10","29","And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:"
"asv","6","10","30","and Jehovah delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho."
"asv","6","10","31","And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:"
"asv","6","10","32","and Jehovah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah."
"asv","6","10","33","Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining."
"asv","6","10","34","And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it;"
"asv","6","10","35","and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish."
"asv","6","10","36","And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:"
"asv","6","10","37","and they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein."
"asv","6","10","38","And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it:"
"asv","6","10","39","and he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to the king thereof."
"asv","6","10","40","So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded."
"asv","6","10","41","And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon."
"asv","6","10","42","And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because Jehovah, the God of Israel, fought for Israel."
"asv","6","10","43","And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal."
"asv","6","11","1","And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,"
"asv","6","11","2","and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,"
"asv","6","11","3","to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah."
"asv","6","11","4","And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many."
"asv","6","11","5","And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel."
"asv","6","11","6","And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."
"asv","6","11","7","So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them."
"asv","6","11","8","And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining."
"asv","6","11","9","And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire."
"asv","6","11","10","And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms."
"asv","6","11","11","And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire."
"asv","6","11","12","And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded."
"asv","6","11","13","But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn."
"asv","6","11","14","And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed."
"asv","6","11","15","As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","6","11","16","So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;"
"asv","6","11","17","from mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death."
"asv","6","11","18","Joshua made war a long time with all those kings."
"asv","6","11","19","There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle."
"asv","6","11","20","For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses."
"asv","6","11","21","And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities."
"asv","6","11","22","There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain."
"asv","6","11","23","So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah spake unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war."
"asv","6","12","1","Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the Arabah eastward:"
"asv","6","12","2","Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and  the city that is in  the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;"
"asv","6","12","3","and the Arabah unto the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and unto the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:"
"asv","6","12","4","and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,"
"asv","6","12","5","and ruled in mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon."
"asv","6","12","6","Moses the servant of Jehovah and the children of Israel smote them: and Moses the servant of Jehovah gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh."
"asv","6","12","7","And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote beyond the Jordan westward, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir (and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;"
"asv","6","12","8","in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the South; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite):"
"asv","6","12","9","the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;"
"asv","6","12","10","the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;"
"asv","6","12","11","the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;"
"asv","6","12","12","the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;"
"asv","6","12","13","the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;"
"asv","6","12","14","the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;"
"asv","6","12","15","the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;"
"asv","6","12","16","the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;"
"asv","6","12","17","the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;"
"asv","6","12","18","the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one;"
"asv","6","12","19","the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;"
"asv","6","12","20","the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;"
"asv","6","12","21","the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;"
"asv","6","12","22","the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;"
"asv","6","12","23","the king of Dor in the height of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;"
"asv","6","12","24","the king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one."
"asv","6","13","1","Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Jehovah said unto him, Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed."
"asv","6","13","2","This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;"
"asv","6","13","3","from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward,  which is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,"
"asv","6","13","4","on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongeth to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;"
"asv","6","13","5","and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath;"
"asv","6","13","6","all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee."
"asv","6","13","7","Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh."
"asv","6","13","8","With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them:"
"asv","6","13","9","from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;"
"asv","6","13","10","and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;"
"asv","6","13","11","and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salecah;"
"asv","6","13","12","all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for these did Moses smite, and drove them out."
"asv","6","13","13","Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel unto this day."
"asv","6","13","14","Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Jehovah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spake unto him."
"asv","6","13","15","And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families."
"asv","6","13","16","And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;"
"asv","6","13","17","Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,"
"asv","6","13","18","and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,"
"asv","6","13","19","and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley,"
"asv","6","13","20","and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,"
"asv","6","13","21","and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land."
"asv","6","13","22","Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain."
"asv","6","13","23","And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof."
"asv","6","13","24","And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, according to their families."
"asv","6","13","25","And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;"
"asv","6","13","26","and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;"
"asv","6","13","27","and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and the border thereof, unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward."
"asv","6","13","28","This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof."
"asv","6","13","29","And Moses gave  inheritance unto the half-tribe of Manasseh: and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families."
"asv","6","13","30","And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:"
"asv","6","13","31","and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families."
"asv","6","13","32","These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward."
"asv","6","13","33","But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them."
"asv","6","14","1","And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’  houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,"
"asv","6","14","2","by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe."
"asv","6","14","3","For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them."
"asv","6","14","4","For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance."
"asv","6","14","5","As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land."
"asv","6","14","6","Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea."
"asv","6","14","7","Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart."
"asv","6","14","8","Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God."
"asv","6","14","9","And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God."
"asv","6","14","10","And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old."
"asv","6","14","11","As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in."
"asv","6","14","12","Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake."
"asv","6","14","13","And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance."
"asv","6","14","14","Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","6","14","15","Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba;  which Arba was  the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war."
"asv","6","15","1","And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south."
"asv","6","15","2","And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looketh southward;"
"asv","6","15","3","and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;"
"asv","6","15","4","and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border."
"asv","6","15","5","And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan;"
"asv","6","15","6","and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;"
"asv","6","15","7","and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel;"
"asv","6","15","8","and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward;"
"asv","6","15","9","and the border extended from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim);"
"asv","6","15","10","and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;"
"asv","6","15","11","and the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea."
"asv","6","15","12","And the west border was to the great sea, and the border  thereof. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families."
"asv","6","15","13","And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba,  which Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron)."
"asv","6","15","14","And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak."
"asv","6","15","15","And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher."
"asv","6","15","16","And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife."
"asv","6","15","17","And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
"asv","6","15","18","And it came to pass, when she came  unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou?"
"asv","6","15","19","And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs."
"asv","6","15","20","This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families."
"asv","6","15","21","And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,"
"asv","6","15","22","and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,"

"asv","6","15","47","Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; unto the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border  thereof."
"asv","6","15","48","And in the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,"
"asv","6","15","49","and Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (the same is Debir),"
"asv","6","15","50","and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,"
"asv","6","15","51","and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages."

"asv","6","15","62","and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages."
"asv","6","15","63","And as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day."
"asv","6","16","1","And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;"
"asv","6","16","2","and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;"
"asv","6","16","3","and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea."
"asv","6","16","4","And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance."
"asv","6","16","5","And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;"
"asv","6","16","6","and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;"
"asv","6","16","7","and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan."
"asv","6","16","8","From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;"
"asv","6","16","9","together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages."
"asv","6","16","10","And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork."
"asv","6","17","1","And  this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph. As for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan."
"asv","6","17","2","So  the lot was for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families."
"asv","6","17","3","But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah."
"asv","6","17","4","And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of Jehovah he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father."
"asv","6","17","5","And there fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;"
"asv","6","17","6","because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged unto the rest of the sons of Manasseh."
"asv","6","17","7","And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand, unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah."
"asv","6","17","8","The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim."
"asv","6","17","9","And the border went down unto the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook: these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh: and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and the goings out thereof were at the sea:"
"asv","6","17","10","southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north, and to Issachar on the east."
"asv","6","17","11","And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights."
"asv","6","17","12","Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out  the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land."
"asv","6","17","13","And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out."
"asv","6","17","14","And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me?"
"asv","6","17","15","And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee."
"asv","6","17","16","And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel."
"asv","6","17","17","And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only:"
"asv","6","17","18","but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong."
"asv","6","18","1","And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there: and the land was subdued before them."
"asv","6","18","2","And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance."
"asv","6","18","3","And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, hath given you?"
"asv","6","18","4","Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me."
"asv","6","18","5","And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north."
"asv","6","18","6","And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring  the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God."
"asv","6","18","7","For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them."
"asv","6","18","8","And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh."
"asv","6","18","9","And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh."
"asv","6","18","10","And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions."
"asv","6","18","11","And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph."
"asv","6","18","12","And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven."
"asv","6","18","13","And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether."
"asv","6","18","14","And the border extended  thence, and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter."
"asv","6","18","15","And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim; and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;"
"asv","6","18","16","and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel;"
"asv","6","18","17","and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;"
"asv","6","18","18","and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah;"
"asv","6","18","19","and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border."
"asv","6","18","20","And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families."
"asv","6","18","21","Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,"
"asv","6","18","22","and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,"

"asv","6","19","1","And the second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah."
"asv","6","19","2","And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,"

"asv","6","19","9","Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance."
"asv","6","19","10","And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. And the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid;"
"asv","6","19","11","and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam;"
"asv","6","19","12","and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chisloth-tabor; and it went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia;"

"asv","6","19","48","This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages."
"asv","6","19","49","So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by the borders thereof; and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:"
"asv","6","19","50","according to the commandment of Jehovah they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah in the hill-country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt therein."
"asv","6","19","51","These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’  houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land."
"asv","6","20","1","And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying,"
"asv","6","20","2","Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by Moses,"
"asv","6","20","3","that the manslayer that killeth any person unwittingly  and  unawares may flee thither: and they shall be unto you for a refuge from the avenger of blood."
"asv","6","20","4","And he shall flee unto one of those cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them."
"asv","6","20","5","And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he smote his neighbor unawares, and hated him not beforetime."
"asv","6","20","6","And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the manslayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled."
"asv","6","20","7","And they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah."

"asv","6","21","1","Then came near the heads of fathers’  houses of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of fathers’  houses of the tribes of the children of Israel;"
"asv","6","21","2","and they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, Jehovah commanded by Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle."
"asv","6","21","3","And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, according to the commandment of Jehovah, these cities with their suburbs."
"asv","6","21","4","And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities."

"asv","6","21","42","These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus it was with all these cities."
"asv","6","21","43","So Jehovah gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein."
"asv","6","21","44","And Jehovah gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Jehovah delivered all their enemies into their hand."
"asv","6","21","45","There failed not aught of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass."
"asv","6","22","1","Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,"
"asv","6","22","2","and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you:"
"asv","6","22","3","ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God."
"asv","6","22","4","And now Jehovah your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan."
"asv","6","22","5","Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
"asv","6","22","6","So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went unto their tents."
"asv","6","22","7","Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given  inheritance  in Bashan; but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them,"
"asv","6","22","8","and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."
"asv","6","22","9","And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses."
"asv","6","22","10","And when they came unto the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look upon."
"asv","6","22","11","And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertaineth to the children of Israel."
"asv","6","22","12","And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war."
"asv","6","22","13","And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,"
"asv","6","22","14","and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel."
"asv","6","22","15","And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,"
"asv","6","22","16","Thus saith the whole congregation of Jehovah, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have builded you an altar, to rebel this day against Jehovah?"
"asv","6","22","17","Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of Jehovah,"
"asv","6","22","18","that ye must turn away this day from following Jehovah? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to-day against Jehovah, that to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel."
"asv","6","22","19","Howbeit, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of Jehovah, wherein Jehovah’s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God."
"asv","6","22","20","Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity."
"asv","6","22","21","Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,"
"asv","6","22","22","The Mighty One, God, Jehovah, the Mighty One, God, Jehovah, he knoweth; and Israel he shall know: if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah (save thou us not this day),"
"asv","6","22","23","that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Jehovah; or if to offer thereon burnt-offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it;"
"asv","6","22","24","and if we have not  rather out of carefulness done this,  and of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel?"
"asv","6","22","25","for Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no portion in Jehovah: so might your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah."
"asv","6","22","26","Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice:"
"asv","6","22","27","but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no portion in Jehovah."
"asv","6","22","28","Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you."
"asv","6","22","29","Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn away this day from following Jehovah, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle."
"asv","6","22","30","And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them well."
"asv","6","22","31","And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that Jehovah is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah."
"asv","6","22","32","And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again."
"asv","6","22","33","And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spake no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt."
"asv","6","22","34","And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar  Ed: For,  said they, it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God."
"asv","6","23","1","And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;"
"asv","6","23","2","that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:"
"asv","6","23","3","and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for Jehovah your God, he it is that hath fought for you."
"asv","6","23","4","Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun."
"asv","6","23","5","And Jehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spake unto you."
"asv","6","23","6","Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;"
"asv","6","23","7","that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear  by them, neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;"
"asv","6","23","8","but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day."
"asv","6","23","9","For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day."
"asv","6","23","10","One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you."
"asv","6","23","11","Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God."
"asv","6","23","12","Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;"
"asv","6","23","13","know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap unto you, and a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you."
"asv","6","23","14","And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof."
"asv","6","23","15","And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which Jehovah your God spake unto you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you."
"asv","6","23","16","When ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you."
"asv","6","24","1","And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God."
"asv","6","24","2","And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods."
"asv","6","24","3","And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac."
"asv","6","24","4","And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt."
"asv","6","24","5","And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst thereof: and afterward I brought you out."
"asv","6","24","6","And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen unto the Red Sea."
"asv","6","24","7","And when they cried out unto Jehovah, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days."
"asv","6","24","8","And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that dwelt beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you."
"asv","6","24","9","Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel: and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you;"
"asv","6","24","10","but I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand."
"asv","6","24","11","And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand."
"asv","6","24","12","And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow."
"asv","6","24","13","And I gave you a land whereon thou hadst not labored, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell therein; of vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat."
"asv","6","24","14","Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah."
"asv","6","24","15","And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah."
"asv","6","24","16","And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;"
"asv","6","24","17","for Jehovah our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;"
"asv","6","24","18","and Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land: therefore we also will serve Jehovah; for he is our God."
"asv","6","24","19","And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins."
"asv","6","24","20","If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he hath done you good."
"asv","6","24","21","And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Jehovah."
"asv","6","24","22","And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses."
"asv","6","24","23","Now therefore put away,  said he, the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","6","24","24","And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and unto his voice will we hearken."
"asv","6","24","25","So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem."
"asv","6","24","26","And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah."
"asv","6","24","27","And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of Jehovah which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God."
"asv","6","24","28","So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance."
"asv","6","24","29","And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old."
"asv","6","24","30","And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash."
"asv","6","24","31","And Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Jehovah, that he had wrought for Israel."
"asv","6","24","32","And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph."
"asv","6","24","33","And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill-country of Ephraim."
"asv","7","1","1","And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"
"asv","7","1","2","And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand."
"asv","7","1","3","And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him."
"asv","7","1","4","And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men."
"asv","7","1","5","And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites."
"asv","7","1","6","But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes."
"asv","7","1","7","And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered  their food under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there."
"asv","7","1","8","And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire."
"asv","7","1","9","And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the hill-country, and in the South, and in the lowland."
"asv","7","1","10","And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba); and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai."
"asv","7","1","11","And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.)"
"asv","7","1","12","And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife."
"asv","7","1","13","And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
"asv","7","1","14","And it came to pass, when she came  unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?"
"asv","7","1","15","And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs."
"asv","7","1","16","And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people."
"asv","7","1","17","And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah."
"asv","7","1","18","Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof."
"asv","7","1","19","And Jehovah was with Judah; and drove out  the inhabitants of  the hill-country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron."
"asv","7","1","20","And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out thence the three sons of Anak."
"asv","7","1","21","And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day."
"asv","7","1","22","And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el; and Jehovah was with them."
"asv","7","1","23","And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)"
"asv","7","1","24","And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee."
"asv","7","1","25","And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family."
"asv","7","1","26","And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day."
"asv","7","1","27","And Manasseh did not drive out  the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor  of Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land."
"asv","7","1","28","And it came to pass, when Israel was waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out."
"asv","7","1","29","And Ephraim drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them."
"asv","7","1","30","Zebulun drove not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became subject to taskwork."
"asv","7","1","31","Asher drove not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;"
"asv","7","1","32","but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out."
"asv","7","1","33","Naphtali drove not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became subject to taskwork."
"asv","7","1","34","And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill-country; for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley;"
"asv","7","1","35","but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to taskwork."
"asv","7","1","36","And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward."
"asv","7","2","1","And the angel of Jehovah came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:"
"asv","7","2","2","and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this?"
"asv","7","2","3","Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be  as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you."
"asv","7","2","4","And it came to pass, when the angel of Jehovah spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept."
"asv","7","2","5","And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Jehovah."
"asv","7","2","6","Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land."
"asv","7","2","7","And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel."
"asv","7","2","8","And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old."
"asv","7","2","9","And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash."
"asv","7","2","10","And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, that knew not Jehovah, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel."
"asv","7","2","11","And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim;"
"asv","7","2","12","and they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger."
"asv","7","2","13","And they forsook Jehovah, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth."
"asv","7","2","14","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that despoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies."
"asv","7","2","15","Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had spoken, and as Jehovah had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed."
"asv","7","2","16","And Jehovah raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those that despoiled them."
"asv","7","2","17","And yet they hearkened not unto their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of Jehovah;  but they did not so."
"asv","7","2","18","And when Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Jehovah because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them."
"asv","7","2","19","But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way."
"asv","7","2","20","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;"
"asv","7","2","21","I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations that Joshua left when he died;"
"asv","7","2","22","that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not."
"asv","7","2","23","So Jehovah left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua."
"asv","7","3","1","Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, to prove Israel by them, even as many  of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;"
"asv","7","3","2","only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof:"
"asv","7","3","3"," namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath."
"asv","7","3","4","And they were  left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses."
"asv","7","3","5","And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:"
"asv","7","3","6","and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods."
"asv","7","3","7","And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgat Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth."
"asv","7","3","8","Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years."
"asv","7","3","9","And when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother."
"asv","7","3","10","And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim."
"asv","7","3","11","And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died."
"asv","7","3","12","And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah."
"asv","7","3","13","And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees."
"asv","7","3","14","And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years."
"asv","7","3","15","But when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. And the children of Israel sent tribute by him unto Eglon the king of Moab."
"asv","7","3","16","And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh."
"asv","7","3","17","And he offered the tribute unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man."
"asv","7","3","18","And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people that bare the tribute."
"asv","7","3","19","But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him."
"asv","7","3","20","And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat."
"asv","7","3","21","And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body:"
"asv","7","3","22","and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his body; and it came out behind."
"asv","7","3","23","Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them."
"asv","7","3","24","Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber."
"asv","7","3","25","And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened  them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth."
"asv","7","3","26","And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah."
"asv","7","3","27","And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them."
"asv","7","3","28","And he said unto them, Follow after me; for Jehovah hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over."
"asv","7","3","29","And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man."
"asv","7","3","30","So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years."
"asv","7","3","31","And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad: and he also saved Israel."
"asv","7","4","1","And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead."
"asv","7","4","2","And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles."
"asv","7","4","3","And the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel."
"asv","7","4","4","Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time."
"asv","7","4","5","And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment."
"asv","7","4","6","And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded,  saying, Go and draw unto mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?"
"asv","7","4","7","And I will draw unto thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand."
"asv","7","4","8","And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go."
"asv","7","4","9","And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding, the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."
"asv","7","4","10","And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him."
"asv","7","4","11","Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh."
"asv","7","4","12","And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor."
"asv","7","4","13","And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, unto the river Kishon."
"asv","7","4","14","And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath delivered Sisera into thy hand; is not Jehovah gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."
"asv","7","4","15","And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet."
"asv","7","4","16","But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left."
"asv","7","4","17","Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite."
"asv","7","4","18","And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug."
"asv","7","4","19","And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him."
"asv","7","4","20","And he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No."
"asv","7","4","21","Then Jael Heber’s wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died."
"asv","7","4","22","And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And he came unto her; and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples."
"asv","7","4","23","So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel."
"asv","7","4","24","And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan."
"asv","7","5","1","Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,"
"asv","7","5","2","For that the leaders took the lead in Israel,For that the people offered themselves willingly,Bless ye Jehovah."
"asv","7","5","3","Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes;I,  even I, will sing unto Jehovah;I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","7","5","4","Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir,When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom,The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped,Yea, the clouds dropped water."
"asv","7","5","5","The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah,Even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","7","5","6","In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied,And the travellers walked through byways."
"asv","7","5","7","The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased,Until that I Deborah arose,That I arose a mother in Israel."
"asv","7","5","8","They chose new gods;Then was war in the gates:Was there a shield or spear seenAmong forty thousand in Israel?"
"asv","7","5","9","My heart is toward the governors of Israel,That offered themselves willingly among the people:Bless ye Jehovah."
"asv","7","5","10","Tell  of it, ye that ride on white asses,Ye that sit on rich carpets,And ye that walk by the way."
"asv","7","5","11","Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water,There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, Even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel.Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates."
"asv","7","5","12","Awake, awake, Deborah;Awake, awake, utter a song:Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam."
"asv","7","5","13","Then came down a remnant of the nobles  and the people;Jehovah came down for me against the mighty."
"asv","7","5","14","Out of Ephraim  came down they whose root is in Amalek;After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples;Out of Machir came down governors,And out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal’s staff."
"asv","7","5","15","And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;As was Issachar, so was Barak;Into the valley they rushed forth at his feet.By the watercourses of ReubenThere were great resolves of heart."
"asv","7","5","16","Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds,To hear the pipings for the flocks?At the watercourses of ReubenThere were great searchings of heart."
"asv","7","5","17","Gilead abode beyond the Jordan:And Dan, why did he remain in ships?Asher sat still at the haven of the sea,And abode by his creeks."
"asv","7","5","18","Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death,And Naphtali, upon the high places of the field."
"asv","7","5","19","The kings came and fought;Then fought the kings of Canaan,In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo:They took no gain of money."
"asv","7","5","20","From heaven fought the stars,From their courses they fought against Sisera."
"asv","7","5","21","The river Kishon swept them away,That ancient river, the river Kishon.O my soul, march on with strength."
"asv","7","5","22","Then did the horsehoofs stampBy reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones."
"asv","7","5","23","Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah.Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof,Because they came not to the help of Jehovah,To the help of Jehovah against the mighty."
"asv","7","5","24","Blessed above women shall Jael be,The wife of Heber the Kenite;Blessed shall she be above women in the tent."
"asv","7","5","25","He asked water,  and she gave him milk;She brought him butter in a lordly dish."
"asv","7","5","26","She put her hand to the tent-pin,And her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;And with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head;Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples."
"asv","7","5","27","At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay;At her feet he bowed, he fell:Where he bowed, there he fell down dead."
"asv","7","5","28","Through the window she looked forth, and cried,The mother of Sisera  cried through the lattice,Why is his chariot so long in coming?Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?"
"asv","7","5","29","Her wise ladies answered her,Yea, she returned answer to herself,"
"asv","7","5","30","Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil?A damsel, two damsels to every man;To Sisera a spoil of dyed garments,A spoil of dyed garments embroidered,Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?"
"asv","7","5","31","So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah:But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might."
"asv","7","6","1","And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years."
"asv","7","6","2","And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel; and because of Midian the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds."
"asv","7","6","3","And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east; they came up against them;"
"asv","7","6","4","and they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance in Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass."
"asv","7","6","5","For they came up with their cattle and their tents; they came in as locusts for multitude; both they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it."
"asv","7","6","6","And Israel was brought very low because of Midian; and the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah."
"asv","7","6","7","And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah because of Midian,"
"asv","7","6","8","that Jehovah sent a prophet unto the children of Israel: and he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;"
"asv","7","6","9","and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;"
"asv","7","6","10","and I said unto you, I am Jehovah your God; ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice."
"asv","7","6","11","And the angel of Jehovah came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites."
"asv","7","6","12","And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him, and said unto him, Jehovah is with thee, thou mighty man of valor."
"asv","7","6","13","And Gideon said unto him, Oh, my lord, if Jehovah is with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? but now Jehovah hath cast us off, and delivered us into the hand of Midian."
"asv","7","6","14","And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee?"
"asv","7","6","15","And he said unto him, Oh, Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is the poorest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house."
"asv","7","6","16","And Jehovah said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man."
"asv","7","6","17","And he said unto him, If now I have found favor in thy sight, then show me a sign that it is thou that talkest with me."
"asv","7","6","18","Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and lay it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again."
"asv","7","6","19","And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of meal: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it."
"asv","7","6","20","And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so."
"asv","7","6","21","Then the angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there went up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight."
"asv","7","6","22","And Gideon saw that he was the angel of Jehovah; and Gideon said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah! forasmuch as I have seen the angel of Jehovah face to face."
"asv","7","6","23","And Jehovah said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die."
"asv","7","6","24","Then Gideon built an altar there unto Jehovah, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."
"asv","7","6","25","And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Take thy father’s bullock, even the second bullock seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it;"
"asv","7","6","26","and build an altar unto Jehovah thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down."
"asv","7","6","27","Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night."
"asv","7","6","28","And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built."
"asv","7","6","29","And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing."
"asv","7","6","30","Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die, because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the Asherah that was by it."
"asv","7","6","31","And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye contend for Baal? Or will ye save him? he that will contend for him, let him be put to death whilst  it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath broken down his altar."
"asv","7","6","32","Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he hath broken down his altar."
"asv","7","6","33","Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; and they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel."
"asv","7","6","34","But the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Gideon; and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered together after him."
"asv","7","6","35","And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; and they also were gathered together after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them."
"asv","7","6","36","And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken,"
"asv","7","6","37","behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing-floor; if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken."
"asv","7","6","38","And it was so; for he rose up early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece together, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water."
"asv","7","6","39","And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be kindled against me, and I will speak but this once: let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew."
"asv","7","6","40","And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground."
"asv","7","7","1","Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley."
"asv","7","7","2","And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me."
"asv","7","7","3","Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand."
"asv","7","7","4","And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go."
"asv","7","7","5","So he brought down the people unto the water: and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink."
"asv","7","7","6","And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water."
"asv","7","7","7","And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place."
"asv","7","7","8","So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley."
"asv","7","7","9","And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand."
"asv","7","7","10","But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Purah thy servant down to the camp:"
"asv","7","7","11","and thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down into the camp. Then went he down with Purah his servant unto the outermost part of the armed men that were in the camp."
"asv","7","7","12","And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude."
"asv","7","7","13","And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream; and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat."
"asv","7","7","14","And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host."
"asv","7","7","15","And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian."
"asv","7","7","16","And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers."
"asv","7","7","17","And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do."
"asv","7","7","18","When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon."
"asv","7","7","19","So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands."
"asv","7","7","20","And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon."
"asv","7","7","21","And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put  them to flight."
"asv","7","7","22","And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man’s sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath."
"asv","7","7","23","And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian."
"asv","7","7","24","And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, Come down against Midian, and take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and took the waters as far as Beth-barah, even the Jordan."
"asv","7","7","25","And they took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian: and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan."
"asv","7","8","1","And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him sharply."
"asv","7","8","2","And he said unto them, What have I now done in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?"
"asv","7","8","3","God hath delivered into your hand the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison with you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that."
"asv","7","8","4","And Gideon came to the Jordan,  and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing."
"asv","7","8","5","And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."
"asv","7","8","6","And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?"
"asv","7","8","7","And Gideon said, Therefore when Jehovah hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."
"asv","7","8","8","And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered."
"asv","7","8","9","And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower."
"asv","7","8","10","Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the host of the children of the east; for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword."
"asv","7","8","11","And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host; for the host was secure."
"asv","7","8","12","And Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued after them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host."
"asv","7","8","13","And Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle from the ascent of Heres."
"asv","7","8","14","And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy and seven men."
"asv","7","8","15","And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?"
"asv","7","8","16","And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth."
"asv","7","8","17","And he brake down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city."
"asv","7","8","18","Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king."
"asv","7","8","19","And he said, They were my brethren, the sons of my mother: as Jehovah liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you."
"asv","7","8","20","And he said unto Jether his first-born, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he feared, because he was yet a youth."
"asv","7","8","21","Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescents that were on their camels’ necks."
"asv","7","8","22","Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son also; for thou hast saved us out of the hand of Midian."
"asv","7","8","23","And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: Jehovah shall rule over you."
"asv","7","8","24","And Gideon said unto them, I would make a request of you, that ye would give me every man the ear-rings of his spoil. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)"
"asv","7","8","25","And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the ear-rings of his spoil."
"asv","7","8","26","And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred  shekels of gold; besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks."
"asv","7","8","27","And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel played the harlot after it there; and it became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house."
"asv","7","8","28","So Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon."
"asv","7","8","29","And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house."
"asv","7","8","30","And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten; for he had many wives."
"asv","7","8","31","And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, and he called his name Abimelech."
"asv","7","8","32","And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites."
"asv","7","8","33","And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and played the harlot after the Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god."
"asv","7","8","34","And the children of Israel remembered not Jehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hand of all their enemies on every side;"
"asv","7","8","35","neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal,  who is  Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel."
"asv","7","9","1","And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren, and spake with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,"
"asv","7","9","2","Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are threescore and ten persons, rule over you, or that one rule over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh."
"asv","7","9","3","And his mother’s brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother."
"asv","7","9","4","And they gave him threescore and ten  pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light fellows, who followed him."
"asv","7","9","5","And he went unto his father’s house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself."
"asv","7","9","6","And all the men of Shechem assembled themselves together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem."
"asv","7","9","7","And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you."
"asv","7","9","8","The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive-tree, Reign thou over us."
"asv","7","9","9","But the olive-tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honor God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?"
"asv","7","9","10","And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, and reign over us."
"asv","7","9","11","But the fig-tree said unto them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?"
"asv","7","9","12","And the trees said unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us."
"asv","7","9","13","And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to wave to and fro over the trees?"
"asv","7","9","14","Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us."
"asv","7","9","15","And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon."
"asv","7","9","16","Now therefore, if ye have dealt truly and uprightly, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands"
"asv","7","9","17","(for my father fought for you, and adventured his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:"
"asv","7","9","18","and ye are risen up against my father’s house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother);"
"asv","7","9","19","if ye then have dealt truly and uprightly with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:"
"asv","7","9","20","but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech."
"asv","7","9","21","And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother."
"asv","7","9","22","And Abimelech was prince over Israel three years."
"asv","7","9","23","And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:"
"asv","7","9","24","that the violence done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brethren."
"asv","7","9","25","And the men of Shechem set liers-in-wait for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech."
"asv","7","9","26","And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him."
"asv","7","9","27","And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trod  the grapes, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech."
"asv","7","9","28","And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve ye the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: but why should we serve him?"
"asv","7","9","29","And would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out."
"asv","7","9","30","And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled."
"asv","7","9","31","And he sent messengers unto Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem; and, behold, they constrain the city  to take part against thee."
"asv","7","9","32","Now therefore, up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field:"
"asv","7","9","33","and it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and rush upon the city; and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion."
"asv","7","9","34","And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies."
"asv","7","9","35","And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from the ambushment."
"asv","7","9","36","And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men."
"asv","7","9","37","And Gaal spake again and said, See, there come people down by the middle of the land, and one company cometh by the way of the oak of Meonenim."
"asv","7","9","38","Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, that thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, and fight with them."
"asv","7","9","39","And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech."
"asv","7","9","40","And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, even unto the entrance of the gate."
"asv","7","9","41","And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem."
"asv","7","9","42","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech."
"asv","7","9","43","And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field; and he looked, and, behold, the people came forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them."
"asv","7","9","44","And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city: and the two companies rushed upon all that were in the field, and smote them."
"asv","7","9","45","And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that were therein: and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt."
"asv","7","9","46","And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard thereof, they entered into the stronghold of the house of El-berith."
"asv","7","9","47","And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together."
"asv","7","9","48","And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder: and he said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done."
"asv","7","9","49","And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women."
"asv","7","9","50","Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it."
"asv","7","9","51","But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut themselves in, and gat them up to the roof of the tower."
"asv","7","9","52","And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and drew near unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire."
"asv","7","9","53","And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon Abimelech’s head, and brake his skull."
"asv","7","9","54","Then he called hastily unto the young man his armorbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and kill me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died."
"asv","7","9","55","And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place."
"asv","7","9","56","Thus God requited the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren;"
"asv","7","9","57","and all the wickedness of the men of Shechem did God requite upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal."
"asv","7","10","1","And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim."
"asv","7","10","2","And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir."
"asv","7","10","3","And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years."
"asv","7","10","4","And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead."
"asv","7","10","5","And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon."
"asv","7","10","6","And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and served him not."
"asv","7","10","7","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon."
"asv","7","10","8","And they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel that year: eighteen years  oppressed they all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead."
"asv","7","10","9","And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed."
"asv","7","10","10","And the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim."
"asv","7","10","11","And Jehovah said unto the children of Israel,  Did not I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?"
"asv","7","10","12","The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto me, and I saved you out of their hand."
"asv","7","10","13","Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will save you no more."
"asv","7","10","14","Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
"asv","7","10","15","And the children of Israel said unto Jehovah, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day."
"asv","7","10","16","And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel."
"asv","7","10","17","Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah."
"asv","7","10","18","And the people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
"asv","7","11","1","Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah."
"asv","7","11","2","And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of another woman."
"asv","7","11","3","Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him."
"asv","7","11","4","And it came to pass after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel."
"asv","7","11","5","And it was so, that, when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob;"
"asv","7","11","6","and they said unto Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon."
"asv","7","11","7","And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?"
"asv","7","11","8","And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore are we turned again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon; and thou shalt be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
"asv","7","11","9","And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Jehovah deliver them before me, shall I be your head?"
"asv","7","11","10","And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do."
"asv","7","11","11","Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them: and Jephthah spake all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah."
"asv","7","11","12","And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?"
"asv","7","11","13","And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan: now therefore restore those  lands again peaceably."
"asv","7","11","14","And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon;"
"asv","7","11","15","and he said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;"
"asv","7","11","16","but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;"
"asv","7","11","17","then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab; but he would not: and Israel abode in Kadesh."
"asv","7","11","18","Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab."
"asv","7","11","19","And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place."
"asv","7","11","20","But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel."
"asv","7","11","21","And Jehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country."
"asv","7","11","22","And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan."
"asv","7","11","23","So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them?"
"asv","7","11","24","Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever Jehovah our God hath dispossessed from before us, them will we possess."
"asv","7","11","25","And now art thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?"
"asv","7","11","26","While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time?"
"asv","7","11","27","I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon."
"asv","7","11","28","Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him."
"asv","7","11","29","Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon."
"asv","7","11","30","And Jephthah vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,"
"asv","7","11","31","then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering."
"asv","7","11","32","So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah delivered them into his hand."
"asv","7","11","33","And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel."
"asv","7","11","34","And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto his house; and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter."
"asv","7","11","35","And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto Jehovah, and I cannot go back."
"asv","7","11","36","And she said unto him, My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto Jehovah; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth, forasmuch as Jehovah hath taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the children of Ammon."
"asv","7","11","37","And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions."
"asv","7","11","38","And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains."
"asv","7","11","39","And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew not man. And it was a custom in Israel,"
"asv","7","11","40","that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year."
"asv","7","12","1","And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire."
"asv","7","12","2","And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand."
"asv","7","12","3","And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?"
"asv","7","12","4","Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim,  and  in the midst of Manasseh."
"asv","7","12","5","And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And it was so, that, when  any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;"
"asv","7","12","6","then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not frame to pronounce it right: then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand."
"asv","7","12","7","And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in  one of the cities of Gilead."
"asv","7","12","8","And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel."
"asv","7","12","9","And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years."
"asv","7","12","10","And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem."
"asv","7","12","11","And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years."
"asv","7","12","12","And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun."
"asv","7","12","13","And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel."
"asv","7","12","14","And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years."
"asv","7","12","15","And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites."
"asv","7","13","1","And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years."
"asv","7","13","2","And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not."
"asv","7","13","3","And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not; but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son."
"asv","7","13","4","Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:"
"asv","7","13","5","for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come upon his head; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to save Israel out of the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","7","13","6","Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; and I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:"
"asv","7","13","7","but he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing; for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death."
"asv","7","13","8","Then Manoah entreated Jehovah, and said, Oh, Lord, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born."
"asv","7","13","9","And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her."
"asv","7","13","10","And the woman made haste, and ran, and told her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the  other  day."
"asv","7","13","11","And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am."
"asv","7","13","12","And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass: what shall be the ordering of the child, and  how shall we do unto him?"
"asv","7","13","13","And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware."
"asv","7","13","14","She may not eat of anything that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe."
"asv","7","13","15","And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, I pray thee, let us detain thee, that we may make ready a kid for thee."
"asv","7","13","16","And the angel of Jehovah said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it unto Jehovah. For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of Jehovah."
"asv","7","13","17","And Manoah said unto the angel of Jehovah, What is thy name, that, when thy words come to pass, we may do thee honor?"
"asv","7","13","18","And the angel of Jehovah said unto him, Wherefore askest thou after my name, seeing it is wonderful?"
"asv","7","13","19","So Manoah took the kid with the meal-offering, and offered it upon the rock unto Jehovah: and  the angel did wondrously, and Manoah and his wife looked on."
"asv","7","13","20","For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar: and Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground."
"asv","7","13","21","But the angel of Jehovah did no more appear to Manoah or to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of Jehovah."
"asv","7","13","22","And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God."
"asv","7","13","23","But his wife said unto him, If Jehovah were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt-offering and a meal-offering at our hand, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would at this time have told such things as these."
"asv","7","13","24","And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him."
"asv","7","13","25","And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol."
"asv","7","14","1","And Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines."
"asv","7","14","2","And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife."
"asv","7","14","3","Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well."
"asv","7","14","4","But his father and his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel."
"asv","7","14","5","Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him."
"asv","7","14","6","And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid; and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done."
"asv","7","14","7","And he went down, and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well."
"asv","7","14","8","And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey."
"asv","7","14","9","And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat: but he told them not that he had taken the honey out of the body of the lion."
"asv","7","14","10","And his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do."
"asv","7","14","11","And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him."
"asv","7","14","12","And Samson said unto them, Let me now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can declare it unto me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment;"
"asv","7","14","13","but if ye cannot declare it unto me, then shall ye give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of raiment. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it."
"asv","7","14","14","And he said unto them,Out of the eater came forth food,And out of the strong came forth sweetness."
"asv","7","14","15","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye called us to impoverish us? is it not  so?"
"asv","7","14","16","And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell thee?"
"asv","7","14","17","And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she pressed him sore; and she told the riddle to the children of her people."
"asv","7","14","18","And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them,If ye had not plowed with my heifer,Ye had not found out my riddle."
"asv","7","14","19","And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and smote thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave the changes  of raiment unto them that declared the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father’s house."
"asv","7","14","20","But Samson’s wife was  given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend."
"asv","7","15","1","But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in."
"asv","7","15","2","And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her."
"asv","7","15","3","And Samson said unto them, This time shall I be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I do them a mischief."
"asv","7","15","4","And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails."
"asv","7","15","5","And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the oliveyards."
"asv","7","15","6","Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire."
"asv","7","15","7","And Samson said unto them, If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease."
"asv","7","15","8","And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam."
"asv","7","15","9","Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi."
"asv","7","15","10","And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they said, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us."
"asv","7","15","11","Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what then is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them."
"asv","7","15","12","And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves."
"asv","7","15","13","And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock."
"asv","7","15","14","When he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands."
"asv","7","15","15","And he found a fresh jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men therewith."
"asv","7","15","16","And Samson said,With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps,With the jawbone of an ass have I smitten a thousand men."
"asv","7","15","17","And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath-lehi."
"asv","7","15","18","And he was sore athirst, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised."
"asv","7","15","19","But God clave the hollow place that is in Lehi, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore the name thereof was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi, unto this day."
"asv","7","15","20","And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years."
"asv","7","16","1","And Samson went to Gaza, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her."
"asv","7","16","2"," And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying,  Let be till morning light, then we will kill him."
"asv","7","16","3","And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and laid hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and plucked them up, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron."
"asv","7","16","4","And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah."
"asv","7","16","5","And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred  pieces of silver."
"asv","7","16","6","And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee."
"asv","7","16","7","And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
"asv","7","16","8","Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withes which had not been dried, and she bound him with them."
"asv","7","16","9","Now she had liers-in-wait abiding in the inner chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withes, as a string of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known."
"asv","7","16","10","And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound."
"asv","7","16","11","And he said unto her, If they only bind me with new ropes wherewith no work hath been done, then shall I become weak, and be as another man."
"asv","7","16","12","So Delilah took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And the liers-in-wait were abiding in the inner chamber. And he brake them off his arms like a thread."
"asv","7","16","13","And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web."
"asv","7","16","14","And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and plucked away the pin of the beam, and the web."
"asv","7","16","15","And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth."
"asv","7","16","16","And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul was vexed unto death."
"asv","7","16","17","And he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I have been a Nazirite unto God from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."
"asv","7","16","18","And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought the money in their hand."
"asv","7","16","19","And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and shaved off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him."
"asv","7","16","20","And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free. But he knew not that Jehovah was departed from him."
"asv","7","16","21","And the Philistines laid hold on him, and put out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison-house."
"asv","7","16","22","Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven."
"asv","7","16","23","And the lords of the Philistines gathered them together to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand."
"asv","7","16","24","And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hand our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, who hath slain many of us."
"asv","7","16","25","And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison-house; and he made sport before them. And they set him between the pillars:"
"asv","7","16","26","and Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house resteth, that I may lean upon them."
"asv","7","16","27","Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport."
"asv","7","16","28","And Samson called unto Jehovah, and said, O Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."
"asv","7","16","29","And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and leaned upon them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left."
"asv","7","16","30","And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead that he slew at his death were more than they that he slew in his life."
"asv","7","16","31","Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years."
"asv","7","17","1","And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah."
"asv","7","17","2","And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred  pieces of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah."
"asv","7","17","3","And he restored the eleven hundred  pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I verily dedicate the silver unto Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee."
"asv","7","17","4","And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred  pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah."
"asv","7","17","5","And the man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest."
"asv","7","17","6","In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
"asv","7","17","7","And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there."
"asv","7","17","8","And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find  a place, and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed."
"asv","7","17","9","And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find  a place."
"asv","7","17","10","And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten  pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in."
"asv","7","17","11","And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons."
"asv","7","17","12","And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah."
"asv","7","17","13","Then said Micah, Now know I that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest."
"asv","7","18","1","In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel."
"asv","7","18","2","And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land. And they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, and lodged there."
"asv","7","18","3","When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned aside thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what doest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?"
"asv","7","18","4","And he said unto them, Thus and thus hath Micah dealt with me, and he hath hired me, and I am become his priest."
"asv","7","18","5","And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
"asv","7","18","6","And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before Jehovah is your way wherein ye go."
"asv","7","18","7","Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put  them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with any man."
"asv","7","18","8","And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What  say ye?"
"asv","7","18","9","And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land."
"asv","7","18","10","When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and the land is large; for God hath given it into your hand, a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth."
"asv","7","18","11","And there set forth from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girt with weapons of war."
"asv","7","18","12","And they went up, and encamped in Kiriath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan, unto this day; behold, it is behind Kiriath-jearim."
"asv","7","18","13","And they passed thence unto the hill-country of Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah."
"asv","7","18","14","Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do."
"asv","7","18","15","And they turned aside thither, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare."
"asv","7","18","16","And the six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate."
"asv","7","18","17","And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men girt with weapons of war."
"asv","7","18","18","And when these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the graven image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said unto them, What do ye?"
"asv","7","18","19","And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be priest unto the house of one man, or to be priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?"
"asv","7","18","20","And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people."
"asv","7","18","21","So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the goods before them."
"asv","7","18","22","When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah’s house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan."
"asv","7","18","23","And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?"
"asv","7","18","24","And he said, ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and are gone away, and what have I more? and how then say ye unto me, What aileth thee?"
"asv","7","18","25","And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household."
"asv","7","18","26","And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house."
"asv","7","18","27","And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire."
"asv","7","18","28","And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built the city, and dwelt therein."
"asv","7","18","29","And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first."
"asv","7","18","30","And the children of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land."
"asv","7","18","31","So they set them up Micah’s graven image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh."
"asv","7","19","1","And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Beth-lehem-judah."
"asv","7","19","2","And his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there the space of four months."
"asv","7","19","3","And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak kindly unto her, to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him."
"asv","7","19","4","And his father-in-law, the damsel’s father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there."
"asv","7","19","5","And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son-in-law, Strengthen thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye shall go your way."
"asv","7","19","6","So they sat down, and did eat and drink, both of them together: and the damsel’s father said unto the man, Be pleased, I pray thee, to tarry all night, and let thy heart be merry."
"asv","7","19","7","And the man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he lodged there again."
"asv","7","19","8","And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the damsel’s father said, Strengthen thy heart, I pray thee, and tarry ye until the day declineth; and they did eat, both of them."
"asv","7","19","9","And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the damsel’s father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thy heart may be merry; and to-morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home."
"asv","7","19","10","But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus (the same is Jerusalem): and there were with him a couple of asses saddled; his concubine also was with him."
"asv","7","19","11","When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it."
"asv","7","19","12","And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside into the city of a foreigner, that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah."
"asv","7","19","13","And he said unto his servant, Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah."
"asv","7","19","14","So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them near to Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin."
"asv","7","19","15","And they turned aside thither, to go in to lodge in Gibeah: and he went in, and sat him down in the street of the city; for there was no man that took them into his house to lodge."
"asv","7","19","16","And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even: now the man was of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he sojourned in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites."
"asv","7","19","17","And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?"
"asv","7","19","18","And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth-lehem-judah unto the farther side of the hill-country of Ephraim; from thence am I, and I went to Beth-lehem-judah: and I am  now going to the house of Jehovah; and there is no man that taketh me into his house."
"asv","7","19","19","Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man that is with thy servants: there is no want of anything."
"asv","7","19","20","And the old man said, Peace be unto thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street."
"asv","7","19","21","So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses fodder; and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink."
"asv","7","19","22","As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him."
"asv","7","19","23","And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into my house, do not this folly."
"asv","7","19","24","Behold, here is my daughter a virgin, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not any such folly."
"asv","7","19","25","But the men would not hearken to him: so the man laid hold on his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go."
"asv","7","19","26","Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light."
"asv","7","19","27","And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands upon the threshold."
"asv","7","19","28","And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going; but none answered: then he took her up upon the ass; and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place."
"asv","7","19","29","And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel."
"asv","7","19","30","And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider it, take counsel, and speak."
"asv","7","20","1","Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah."
"asv","7","20","2","And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword."
"asv","7","20","3","(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?"
"asv","7","20","4","And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge."
"asv","7","20","5","And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead."
"asv","7","20","6","And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel."
"asv","7","20","7","Behold, ye children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel."
"asv","7","20","8","And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn unto his house."
"asv","7","20","9","But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah:  we will go up  against it by lot;"
"asv","7","20","10","and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel."
"asv","7","20","11","So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man."
"asv","7","20","12","And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is come to pass among you?"
"asv","7","20","13","Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows, that are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel."
"asv","7","20","14","And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel."
"asv","7","20","15","And the children of Benjamin were numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men."
"asv","7","20","16","Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss."
"asv","7","20","17","And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war."
"asv","7","20","18","And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said, Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah  shall go up first."
"asv","7","20","19","And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah."
"asv","7","20","20","And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah."
"asv","7","20","21","And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men."
"asv","7","20","22","And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day."
"asv","7","20","23","And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even; and they asked of Jehovah, saying, Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him."
"asv","7","20","24","And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day."
"asv","7","20","25","And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword."
"asv","7","20","26","Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah."
"asv","7","20","27","And the children of Israel asked of Jehovah (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,"
"asv","7","20","28","and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will deliver him into thy hand."
"asv","7","20","29","And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about."
"asv","7","20","30","And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times."
"asv","7","20","31","And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel."
"asv","7","20","32","And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them away from the city unto the highways."
"asv","7","20","33","And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers-in-wait of Israel brake forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba."
"asv","7","20","34","And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them."
"asv","7","20","35","And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men: all these drew the sword."
"asv","7","20","36","So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten; for the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah."
"asv","7","20","37","And the liers-in-wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword."
"asv","7","20","38","Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait was, that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city."
"asv","7","20","39","And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle."
"asv","7","20","40","But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and, behold, the whole of the city went up  in smoke to heaven."
"asv","7","20","41","And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that evil was come upon them."
"asv","7","20","42","Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst thereof."
"asv","7","20","43","They inclosed the Benjamites round about,  and chased them, and trod them down at  their resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising."
"asv","7","20","44","And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these  were  men of valor."
"asv","7","20","45","And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men."
"asv","7","20","46","So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these  were men of valor."
"asv","7","20","47","But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months."
"asv","7","20","48","And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found: moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire."
"asv","7","21","1","Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife."
"asv","7","21","2","And the people came to Beth-el, and sat there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore."
"asv","7","21","3","And they said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to-day one tribe lacking in Israel?"
"asv","7","21","4","And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings."
"asv","7","21","5","And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up in the assembly unto Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death."
"asv","7","21","6","And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day."
"asv","7","21","7","How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by Jehovah that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?"
"asv","7","21","8","And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly."
"asv","7","21","9","For when the people were numbered, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there."
"asv","7","21","10","And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones."
"asv","7","21","11","And this is the thing that ye shall do: ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man."
"asv","7","21","12","And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan."
"asv","7","21","13","And the whole congregation sent and spake to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace unto them."
"asv","7","21","14","And Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not."
"asv","7","21","15","And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel."
"asv","7","21","16","Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"
"asv","7","21","17","And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not blotted out from Israel."
"asv","7","21","18","Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin."
"asv","7","21","19","And they said, Behold, there is a feast of Jehovah from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Beth-el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah."
"asv","7","21","20","And they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,"
"asv","7","21","21","and see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin."
"asv","7","21","22","And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come to complain unto us, that we will say unto them, Grant them graciously unto us, because we took not for each man  of them his wife in battle, neither did ye give them unto them, else would ye now be guilty."
"asv","7","21","23","And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they carried off: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt in them."
"asv","7","21","24","And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance."
"asv","7","21","25","In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
"asv","8","1","1","And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons."
"asv","8","1","2","And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there."
"asv","8","1","3","And Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons."
"asv","8","1","4","And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years."
"asv","8","1","5","And Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband."
"asv","8","1","6","Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread."
"asv","8","1","7","And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah."
"asv","8","1","8","And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother’s house: Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me."
"asv","8","1","9","Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept."
"asv","8","1","10","And they said unto her, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people."
"asv","8","1","11","And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?"
"asv","8","1","12","Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even have a husband to-night, and should also bear sons;"
"asv","8","1","13","would ye therefore tarry till they were grown? would ye therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters, for it grieveth me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah is gone forth against me."
"asv","8","1","14","And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her."
"asv","8","1","15","And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people, and unto her god: return thou after thy sister-in-law."
"asv","8","1","16","And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, and to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;"
"asv","8","1","17","where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me."
"asv","8","1","18","And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking unto her."
"asv","8","1","19","So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the women said, Is this Naomi?"
"asv","8","1","20","And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me."
"asv","8","1","21","I went out full, and Jehovah hath brought me home again empty; why call ye me Naomi, seeing Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?"
"asv","8","1","22","So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley harvest."
"asv","8","2","1","And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz."
"asv","8","2","2","And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter."
"asv","8","2","3","And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech."
"asv","8","2","4","And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee."
"asv","8","2","5","Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?"
"asv","8","2","6","And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:"
"asv","8","2","7","and she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house."
"asv","8","2","8","Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens."
"asv","8","2","9","Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn."
"asv","8","2","10","Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found favor in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?"
"asv","8","2","11","And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people that thou knewest not heretofore."
"asv","8","2","12","Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge."
"asv","8","2","13","Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens."
"asv","8","2","14","And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof."
"asv","8","2","15","And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not."
"asv","8","2","16","And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not."
"asv","8","2","17","So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley."
"asv","8","2","18","And she took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed."
"asv","8","2","19","And her mother-in-law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz."
"asv","8","2","20","And Naomi said unto her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen."
"asv","8","2","21","And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest."
"asv","8","2","22","And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field."
"asv","8","2","23","So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law."
"asv","8","3","1","And Naomi her mother-in-law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?"
"asv","8","3","2","And now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor."
"asv","8","3","3","Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the threshing-floor, but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking."
"asv","8","3","4","And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do."
"asv","8","3","5","And she said unto her, All that thou sayest I will do."
"asv","8","3","6","And she went down unto the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her."
"asv","8","3","7","And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down."
"asv","8","3","8","And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself; and, behold, a woman lay at his feet."
"asv","8","3","9","And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman."
"asv","8","3","10","And he said, Blessed be thou of Jehovah, my daughter: thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich."
"asv","8","3","11","And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou sayest; for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a worthy woman."
"asv","8","3","12","And now it is true that I am a near kinsman; howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I."
"asv","8","3","13","Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as Jehovah liveth: lie down until the morning."
"asv","8","3","14","And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor."
"asv","8","3","15","And he said, Bring the mantle that is upon thee, and hold it; and she held it; and he measured six  measures of barley, and laid it on her: and he went into the city."
"asv","8","3","16","And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her."
"asv","8","3","17","And she said, These six  measures of barley gave he me; for he said, Go not empty unto thy mother-in-law."
"asv","8","3","18","Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he have finished the thing this day."
"asv","8","4","1","Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down."
"asv","8","4","2","And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down."
"asv","8","4","3","And he said unto the near kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:"
"asv","8","4","4","and I thought to disclose it unto thee, saying, Buy it before them that sit here, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it."
"asv","8","4","5","Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance."
"asv","8","4","6","And the near kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: take thou my right of redemption on thee; for I cannot redeem it."
"asv","8","4","7","Now this was  the custom in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; and this was the  manner of attestation in Israel."
"asv","8","4","8","So the near kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thyself. And he drew off his shoe."
"asv","8","4","9","And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi."
"asv","8","4","10","Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day."
"asv","8","4","11","And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Jehovah make the woman that is come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:"
"asv","8","4","12","and let thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give thee of this young woman."
"asv","8","4","13","So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bare a son."
"asv","8","4","14","And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel."
"asv","8","4","15","And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him."
"asv","8","4","16","And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it."
"asv","8","4","17","And the women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David."
"asv","8","4","18","Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron,"
"asv","8","4","19","and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,"
"asv","8","4","20","and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,"
"asv","8","4","21","and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,"
"asv","8","4","22","and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David."
"asv","9","1","1","Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:"
"asv","9","1","2","and he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children."
"asv","9","1","3","And this man went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice unto Jehovah of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto Jehovah, were there."
"asv","9","1","4","And when the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:"
"asv","9","1","5","but unto Hannah he gave a double portion; for he loved Hannah, but Jehovah had shut up her womb."
"asv","9","1","6","And her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb."
"asv","9","1","7","And  as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat."
"asv","9","1","8","And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?"
"asv","9","1","9","So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest was sitting upon his seat by the door-post of the temple of Jehovah."
"asv","9","1","10","And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto Jehovah, and wept sore."
"asv","9","1","11","And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."
"asv","9","1","12","And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth."
"asv","9","1","13","Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken."
"asv","9","1","14","And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee."
"asv","9","1","15","And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Jehovah."
"asv","9","1","16","Count not thy handmaid for a wicked woman; for out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation have I spoken hitherto."
"asv","9","1","17","Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace; and the God of Israel grant thy petition that thou hast asked of him."
"asv","9","1","18","And she said, Let thy handmaid find favor in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat; and her countenance was no more  sad."
"asv","9","1","19","And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before Jehovah, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and Jehovah remembered her;"
"asv","9","1","20","and it came to pass, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bare a son; and she called his name Samuel,  saying, Because I have asked him of Jehovah."
"asv","9","1","21","And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto Jehovah the yearly sacrifice, and his vow."
"asv","9","1","22","But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband,  I will not go up until the child be weaned; and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah, and there abide for ever."
"asv","9","1","23","And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only Jehovah establish his word. So the woman tarried and gave her son suck, until she weaned him."
"asv","9","1","24","And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of Jehovah in Shiloh: and the child was young."
"asv","9","1","25","And they slew the bullock, and brought the child to Eli."
"asv","9","1","26","And she said, Oh, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","1","27","For this child I prayed; and Jehovah hath given me my petition which I asked of him:"
"asv","9","1","28","therefore also I have granted him to Jehovah; as long as he liveth he is granted to Jehovah. And he worshipped Jehovah there."
"asv","9","2","1","And Hannah prayed, and said:My heart exulteth in Jehovah;My horn is exalted in Jehovah;My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;Because I rejoice in thy salvation."
"asv","9","2","2","There is none holy as Jehovah;For there is none besides thee,Neither is there any rock like our God."
"asv","9","2","3","Talk no more so exceeding proudly;Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth;For Jehovah is a God of knowledge,And by him actions are weighed."
"asv","9","2","4","The bows of the mighty men are broken;And they that stumbled are girded with strength."
"asv","9","2","5","They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;And they that were hungry have ceased  to hunger:Yea, the barren hath borne seven;And she that hath many children languisheth."
"asv","9","2","6","Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive:He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up."
"asv","9","2","7","Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich:He bringeth low, he also lifteth up."
"asv","9","2","8","He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill,To make them sit with princes,And inherit the throne of glory:For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah’s,And he hath set the world upon them."
"asv","9","2","9","He will keep the feet of his holy ones;But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness;For by strength shall no man prevail."
"asv","9","2","10","They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces;Against them will he thunder in heaven:Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth;And he will give strength unto his king,And exalt the horn of his anointed."
"asv","9","2","11","And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto Jehovah before Eli the priest."
"asv","9","2","12","Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not Jehovah."
"asv","9","2","13","And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand;"
"asv","9","2","14","and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither."
"asv","9","2","15","Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have boiled flesh of thee, but raw."
"asv","9","2","16","And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force."
"asv","9","2","17","And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah; for the men despised the offering of Jehovah."
"asv","9","2","18","But Samuel ministered before Jehovah, being a child, girded with a linen ephod."
"asv","9","2","19","Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice."
"asv","9","2","20","And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of this woman for the petition which was asked of Jehovah. And they went unto their own home."
"asv","9","2","21","And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before Jehovah."
"asv","9","2","22","Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting."
"asv","9","2","23","And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people."
"asv","9","2","24","Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make Jehovah’s people to transgress."
"asv","9","2","25","If one man sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against Jehovah, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because Jehovah was minded to slay them."
"asv","9","2","26","And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with Jehovah, and also with men."
"asv","9","2","27","And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Did I reveal myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt  in bondage to Pharaoh’s house?"
"asv","9","2","28","and did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up unto mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?"
"asv","9","2","29","Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in  my habitation, and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?"
"asv","9","2","30","Therefore Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed."
"asv","9","2","31","Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house."
"asv","9","2","32","And thou shalt behold the affliction of  my habitation, in all the wealth which  God shall give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever."
"asv","9","2","33","And the man of thine,  whom I shall not cut off from mine altar,  shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart; and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age."
"asv","9","2","34","And this shall be the sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them."
"asv","9","2","35","And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever."
"asv","9","2","36","And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."
"asv","9","3","1","And the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was precious in those days; there was no frequent vision."
"asv","9","3","2","And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see),"
"asv","9","3","3","and the lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down to sleep, in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was;"
"asv","9","3","4","that Jehovah called Samuel: and he said, Here am I."
"asv","9","3","5","And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down."
"asv","9","3","6","And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again."
"asv","9","3","7","Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed unto him."
"asv","9","3","8","And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child."
"asv","9","3","9","Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place."
"asv","9","3","10","And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel said, Speak; for thy servant heareth."
"asv","9","3","11","And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle."
"asv","9","3","12","In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end."
"asv","9","3","13","For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not."
"asv","9","3","14","And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be expiated with sacrifice nor offering for ever."
"asv","9","3","15","And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision."
"asv","9","3","16","Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I."
"asv","9","3","17","And he said, What is the thing that  Jehovah hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spake unto thee."
"asv","9","3","18","And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good."
"asv","9","3","19","And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground."
"asv","9","3","20","And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah."
"asv","9","3","21","And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of Jehovah."
"asv","9","4","1","And the word of Samuel came to all Israel."
"asv","9","4","2","And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines; and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men."
"asv","9","4","3","And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh unto us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies."
"asv","9","4","4","So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sitteth  above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God."
"asv","9","4","5","And when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again."
"asv","9","4","6","And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah was come into the camp."
"asv","9","4","7","And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore."
"asv","9","4","8","Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? these are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness."
"asv","9","4","9","Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight."
"asv","9","4","10","And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen."
"asv","9","4","11","And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain."
"asv","9","4","12","And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head."
"asv","9","4","13","And when he came, lo, Eli was sitting upon his seat by the wayside watching; for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out."
"asv","9","4","14","And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man hasted, and came and told Eli."
"asv","9","4","15","Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see."
"asv","9","4","16","And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army. And he said, How went the matter, my son?"
"asv","9","4","17","And he that brought the tidings answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken."
"asv","9","4","18","And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years."
"asv","9","4","19","And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and brought forth; for her pains came upon her."
"asv","9","4","20","And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast brought forth a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it."
"asv","9","4","21","And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband."
"asv","9","4","22","And she said, The glory is departed from Israel; for the ark of God is taken."
"asv","9","5","1","Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod."
"asv","9","5","2","And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon."
"asv","9","5","3","And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again."
"asv","9","5","4","And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands  lay cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him."
"asv","9","5","5","Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod, unto this day."
"asv","9","5","6","But the hand of Jehovah was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with tumors, even Ashdod and the borders thereof."
"asv","9","5","7","And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us; for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god."
"asv","9","5","8","They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel  thither."
"asv","9","5","9","And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great discomfiture: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great; and tumors brake out upon them."
"asv","9","5","10","So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people."
"asv","9","5","11","They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to its own place, that it slay us not, and our people. For there was a deadly discomfiture throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there."
"asv","9","5","12","And the men that died not were smitten with the tumors; and the cry of the city went up to heaven."
"asv","9","6","1","And the ark of Jehovah was in the country of the Philistines seven months."
"asv","9","6","2","And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? show us wherewith we shall send it to its place."
"asv","9","6","3","And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but by all means return him a trespass-offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you."
"asv","9","6","4","Then said they, What shall be the trespass-offering which we shall return to him? And they said, Five golden tumors, and five golden mice,  according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords."
"asv","9","6","5","Wherefore ye shall make images of your tumors, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land."
"asv","9","6","6","Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?"
"asv","9","6","7","Now therefore take and prepare you a new cart, and two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke; and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them;"
"asv","9","6","8","and take the ark of Jehovah, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass-offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go."
"asv","9","6","9","And see; if it goeth up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us."
"asv","9","6","10","And the men did so, and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home;"
"asv","9","6","11","and they put the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their tumors."
"asv","9","6","12","And the kine took the straight way by the way to Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh."
"asv","9","6","13","And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it."
"asv","9","6","14","And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered up the kine for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","6","15","And the Levites took down the ark of Jehovah, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","6","16","And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day."
"asv","9","6","17","And these are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass-offering unto Jehovah: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;"
"asv","9","6","18","and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fortified cities and of country villages, even unto the great stone, whereon they set down the ark of Jehovah,  which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite."
"asv","9","6","19","And he smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of Jehovah, he smote of the people seventy men,  and fifty thousand men; and the people mourned, because Jehovah had smitten the people with a great slaughter."
"asv","9","6","20","And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?"
"asv","9","6","21","And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of Jehovah; come ye down, and fetch it up to you."
"asv","9","7","1","And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah."
"asv","9","7","2","And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah."
"asv","9","7","3","And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","9","7","4","Then the children of Israel did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, and served Jehovah only."
"asv","9","7","5","And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","7","6","And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah."
"asv","9","7","7","And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines."
"asv","9","7","8","And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Jehovah our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","9","7","9","And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto Jehovah: and Samuel cried unto Jehovah for Israel; and Jehovah answered him."
"asv","9","7","10","And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel."
"asv","9","7","11","And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car."
"asv","9","7","12","Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us."
"asv","9","7","13","So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel."
"asv","9","7","14","And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites."
"asv","9","7","15","And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life."
"asv","9","7","16","And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places."
"asv","9","7","17","And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel: and he built there an altar unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","8","1","And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel."
"asv","9","8","2","Now the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba."
"asv","9","8","3","And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted justice."
"asv","9","8","4","Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah;"
"asv","9","8","5","and they said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations."
"asv","9","8","6","But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","8","7","And Jehovah said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them."
"asv","9","8","8","According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee."
"asv","9","8","9","Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit thou shalt protest solemnly unto them, and shalt show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them."
"asv","9","8","10","And Samuel told all the words of Jehovah unto the people that asked of him a king."
"asv","9","8","11","And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots;"
"asv","9","8","12","and he will appoint them unto him for captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and  he will set some to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots."
"asv","9","8","13","And he will take your daughters to be perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be bakers."
"asv","9","8","14","And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants."
"asv","9","8","15","And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants."
"asv","9","8","16","And he will take your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work."
"asv","9","8","17","He will take the tenth of your flocks: and ye shall be his servants."
"asv","9","8","18","And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king whom ye shall have chosen you; and Jehovah will not answer you in that day."
"asv","9","8","19","But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay: but we will have a king over us,"
"asv","9","8","20","that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles."
"asv","9","8","21","And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of Jehovah."
"asv","9","8","22","And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city."
"asv","9","9","1","Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor."
"asv","9","9","2","And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a young man and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people."
"asv","9","9","3","And the asses of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses."
"asv","9","9","4","And he passed through the hill-country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not."
"asv","9","9","5","When they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return, lest my father leave off caring for the asses, and be anxious for us."
"asv","9","9","6","And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is a man that is held in honor; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can tell us concerning our journey whereon we go."
"asv","9","9","7","Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?"
"asv","9","9","8","And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way."
"asv","9","9","9","(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"
"asv","9","9","10","Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was."
"asv","9","9","11","As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?"
"asv","9","9","12","And they answered them, and said, He is; behold,  he is before thee: make haste now, for he is come to-day into the city; for the people have a sacrifice to-day in the high place:"
"asv","9","9","13","as soon as ye are come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he goeth up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice;  and afterwards they eat that are bidden. Now therefore get you up; for at this time ye shall find him."
"asv","9","9","14","And they went up to the city;  and as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place."
"asv","9","9","15","Now Jehovah had revealed unto Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,"
"asv","9","9","16","To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be prince over my people Israel; and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me."
"asv","9","9","17","And when Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah said unto him, Behold, the man of whom I spake to thee! this same shall have authority over my people."
"asv","9","9","18","Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer’s house is."
"asv","9","9","19","And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer; go up before me unto the high place, for ye shall eat with me to-day: and in the morning I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart."
"asv","9","9","20","And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for thee, and for all thy father’s house?"
"asv","9","9","21","And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou to me after this manner?"
"asv","9","9","22","And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest-chamber, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, who were about thirty persons."
"asv","9","9","23","And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee."
"asv","9","9","24","And the cook took up the thigh, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And  Samuel said, Behold, that which hath been reserved! set it before thee and eat; because unto the appointed time hath it been kept for thee, for I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day."
"asv","9","9","25","And when they were come down from the high place into the city, he communed with Saul upon the housetop."
"asv","9","9","26","And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad."
"asv","9","9","27","As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us (and he passed on), but stand thou still first, that I may cause thee to hear the word of God."
"asv","9","10","1","Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?"
"asv","9","10","2","When thou art departed from me to-day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre, in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found; and, lo, thy father hath left off caring for the asses, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?"
"asv","9","10","3","Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the oak of Tabor; and there shall meet thee there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:"
"asv","9","10","4","and they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread, which thou shalt receive of their hand."
"asv","9","10","5","After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:"
"asv","9","10","6","and the Spirit of Jehovah will come mightily upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man."
"asv","9","10","7","And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee; for God is with thee."
"asv","9","10","8","And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come unto thee, and show thee what thou shalt do."
"asv","9","10","9","And it was so, that, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day."
"asv","9","10","10","And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily upon him, and he prophesied among them."
"asv","9","10","11","And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
"asv","9","10","12","And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?"
"asv","9","10","13","And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place."
"asv","9","10","14","And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel."
"asv","9","10","15","And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you."
"asv","9","10","16","And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not."
"asv","9","10","17","And Samuel called the people together unto Jehovah to Mizpah;"
"asv","9","10","18","and he said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:"
"asv","9","10","19","but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saveth you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands."
"asv","9","10","20","So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken."
"asv","9","10","21","And he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found."
"asv","9","10","22","Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage."
"asv","9","10","23","And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward."
"asv","9","10","24","And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said,  Long live the king."
"asv","9","10","25","Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house."
"asv","9","10","26","And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched."
"asv","9","10","27","But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace."
"asv","9","11","1","Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee."
"asv","9","11","2","And Nahash the Ammonite said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon all Israel."
"asv","9","11","3","And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the borders of Israel; and then, if there be none to save us, we will come out to thee."
"asv","9","11","4","Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and spake these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept."
"asv","9","11","5","And, behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh."
"asv","9","11","6","And the Spirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly."
"asv","9","11","7","And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the dread of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man."
"asv","9","11","8","And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand."
"asv","9","11","9","And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To-morrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have deliverance. And the messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad."
"asv","9","11","10","Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To-morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you."
"asv","9","11","11","And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they that remained were scattered, so that not two of them were left together."
"asv","9","11","12","And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death."
"asv","9","11","13","And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day; for to-day Jehovah hath wrought deliverance in Israel."
"asv","9","11","14","Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
"asv","9","11","15","And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Jehovah in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace-offerings before Jehovah; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly."
"asv","9","12","1","And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you."
"asv","9","12","2","And now, behold, the king walketh before you; and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my youth unto this day."
"asv","9","12","3","Here I am: witness against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you."
"asv","9","12","4","And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man’s hand."
"asv","9","12","5","And he said unto them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they said, He is witness."
"asv","9","12","6","And Samuel said unto the people, It is Jehovah that appointed Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","9","12","7","Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah concerning all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which he did to you and to your fathers."
"asv","9","12","8","When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them to dwell in this place."
"asv","9","12","9","But they forgat Jehovah their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them."
"asv","9","12","10","And they cried unto Jehovah, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baalim and the Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee."
"asv","9","12","11","And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and ye dwelt in safety."
"asv","9","12","12","And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king."
"asv","9","12","13","Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have asked for: and, behold, Jehovah hath set a king over you."
"asv","9","12","14","If ye will fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken unto his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, and both ye and also the king that reigneth over you be followers of Jehovah your God,  well:"
"asv","9","12","15","but if ye will not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah, but rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as it was against your fathers."
"asv","9","12","16","Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Jehovah will do before your eyes."
"asv","9","12","17","Is it not wheat harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, that he may send thunder and rain; and ye shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah, in asking you a king."
"asv","9","12","18","So Samuel called unto Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel."
"asv","9","12","19","And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto Jehovah thy God, that we die not; for we have added unto all our sins  this  evil, to ask us a king."
"asv","9","12","20","And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have indeed done all this evil; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart:"
"asv","9","12","21","and turn ye not aside; for  then would ye go after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain."
"asv","9","12","22","For Jehovah will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it hath pleased Jehovah to make you a people unto himself."
"asv","9","12","23","Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way."
"asv","9","12","24","Only fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you."
"asv","9","12","25","But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king."
"asv","9","13","1","Saul was  forty years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,"
"asv","9","13","2","Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel, whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent."
"asv","9","13","3","And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear."
"asv","9","13","4","And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal."
"asv","9","13","5","And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth-aven."
"asv","9","13","6","When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits."
"asv","9","13","7","Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling."
"asv","9","13","8","And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him."
"asv","9","13","9","And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering."
"asv","9","13","10","And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him."
"asv","9","13","11","And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;"
"asv","9","13","12","therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering."
"asv","9","13","13","And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever."
"asv","9","13","14","But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee."
"asv","9","13","15","And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin."
"asv","9","13","16","And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash."
"asv","9","13","17","And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;"
"asv","9","13","18","and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness."
"asv","9","13","19","Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:"
"asv","9","13","20","but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;"
"asv","9","13","21","yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads."
"asv","9","13","22","So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found."
"asv","9","13","23","And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmash."
"asv","9","14","1","Now it fell upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on yonder side. But he told not his father."
"asv","9","14","2","And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;"
"asv","9","14","3","and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone."
"asv","9","14","4","And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh."
"asv","9","14","5","The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba."
"asv","9","14","6","And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few."
"asv","9","14","7","And his armorbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart."
"asv","9","14","8","Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto the men, and we will disclose ourselves unto them."
"asv","9","14","9","If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them."
"asv","9","14","10","But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up; for Jehovah hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign unto us."
"asv","9","14","11","And both of them disclosed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves."
"asv","9","14","12","And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armorbearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah hath delivered them into the hand of Israel."
"asv","9","14","13","And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armorbearer slew them after him."
"asv","9","14","14","And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land."
"asv","9","14","15","And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling."
"asv","9","14","16","And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went  hither and thither."
"asv","9","14","17","Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there."
"asv","9","14","18","And Saul said unto Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was  there at that time with the children of Israel."
"asv","9","14","19","And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand."
"asv","9","14","20","And Saul and all the people that were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture."
"asv","9","14","21","Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, and that went up with them into the camp,  from the country round about, even they also  turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan."
"asv","9","14","22","Likewise all the men of Israel that had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle."
"asv","9","14","23","So Jehovah saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven."
"asv","9","14","24","And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food."
"asv","9","14","25","And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground."
"asv","9","14","26","And when the people were come unto the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath."
"asv","9","14","27","But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened."
"asv","9","14","28","Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day. And the people were faint."
"asv","9","14","29","Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey."
"asv","9","14","30","How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now hath there been no great slaughter among the Philistines."
"asv","9","14","31","And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint;"
"asv","9","14","32","and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground; and the people did eat them with the blood."
"asv","9","14","33","Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously: roll a great stone unto me this day."
"asv","9","14","34","And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there."
"asv","9","14","35","And Saul built an altar unto Jehovah: the same was the first altar that he built unto Jehovah."
"asv","9","14","36","And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God."
"asv","9","14","37","And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day."
"asv","9","14","38","And Saul said, Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people; and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day."
"asv","9","14","39","For, as Jehovah liveth, who saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him."
"asv","9","14","40","Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee."
"asv","9","14","41","Therefore Saul said unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken  by lot; but the people escaped."
"asv","9","14","42","And Saul said, Cast  lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken."
"asv","9","14","43","Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, lo, I must die."
"asv","9","14","44","And Saul said, God do so and more also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan."
"asv","9","14","45","And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not."
"asv","9","14","46","Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place."
"asv","9","14","47","Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he put  them to the worse."
"asv","9","14","48","And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that despoiled them."
"asv","9","14","49","Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:"
"asv","9","14","50","and the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his host was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle."
"asv","9","14","51","And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel."
"asv","9","14","52","And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him."
"asv","9","15","1","And Samuel said unto Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of Jehovah."
"asv","9","15","2","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I have marked that which Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt."
"asv","9","15","3","Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
"asv","9","15","4","And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah."
"asv","9","15","5","And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley."
"asv","9","15","6","And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites."
"asv","9","15","7","And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is before Egypt."
"asv","9","15","8","And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword."
"asv","9","15","9","But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly."
"asv","9","15","10","Then came the word of Jehovah unto Samuel, saying,"
"asv","9","15","11","It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And Samuel was wroth; and he cried unto Jehovah all night."
"asv","9","15","12","And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal."
"asv","9","15","13","And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of Jehovah: I have performed the commandment of Jehovah."
"asv","9","15","14","And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?"
"asv","9","15","15","And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."
"asv","9","15","16","Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what Jehovah hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on."
"asv","9","15","17","And Samuel said, Though thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel;"
"asv","9","15","18","and Jehovah sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed."
"asv","9","15","19","Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of Jehovah, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah?"
"asv","9","15","20","And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites."
"asv","9","15","21","But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto Jehovah thy God in Gilgal."
"asv","9","15","22","And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams."
"asv","9","15","23","For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, he hath also rejected thee from being king."
"asv","9","15","24","And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice."
"asv","9","15","25","Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah."
"asv","9","15","26","And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah hath rejected thee from being king over Israel."
"asv","9","15","27","And as Samuel turned about to go away,  Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it rent."
"asv","9","15","28","And Samuel said unto him, Jehovah hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou."
"asv","9","15","29","And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent."
"asv","9","15","30","Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God."
"asv","9","15","31","So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah."
"asv","9","15","32","Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him cheerfully. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past."
"asv","9","15","33","And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal."
"asv","9","15","34","Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul."
"asv","9","15","35","And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel."
"asv","9","16","1","And Jehovah said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go: I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons."
"asv","9","16","2","And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And Jehovah said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah."
"asv","9","16","3","And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee."
"asv","9","16","4","And Samuel did that which Jehovah spake, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Comest thou peaceably?"
"asv","9","16","5","And he said, Peaceably; I am come to sacrifice unto Jehovah: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice."
"asv","9","16","6","And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah’s anointed is before him."
"asv","9","16","7","But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for  Jehovah seeth  not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart."
"asv","9","16","8","Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath Jehovah chosen this."
"asv","9","16","9","Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath Jehovah chosen this."
"asv","9","16","10","And Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Jehovah hath not chosen these."
"asv","9","16","11","And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he come hither."
"asv","9","16","12","And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look upon. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he."
"asv","9","16","13","Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah."
"asv","9","16","14","Now the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him."
"asv","9","16","15","And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee."
"asv","9","16","16","Let our lord now command thy servants, that are before thee, to seek out a man who is a skilful player on the harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well."
"asv","9","16","17","And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me."
"asv","9","16","18","Then answered one of the young men, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is skilful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a comely person; and Jehovah is with him."
"asv","9","16","19","Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep."
"asv","9","16","20","And Jesse took an ass  laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul."
"asv","9","16","21","And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armorbearer."
"asv","9","16","22","And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favor in my sight."
"asv","9","16","23","And it came to pass, when the  evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him."
"asv","9","17","1","Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim."
"asv","9","17","2","And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines."
"asv","9","17","3","And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them."
"asv","9","17","4","And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span."
"asv","9","17","5","And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass."
"asv","9","17","6","And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders."
"asv","9","17","7","And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and his shield-bearer went before him."
"asv","9","17","8","And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me."
"asv","9","17","9","If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us."
"asv","9","17","10","And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."
"asv","9","17","11","And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid."
"asv","9","17","12","Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken  in years among men."
"asv","9","17","13","And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah."
"asv","9","17","14","And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul."
"asv","9","17","15","Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem."
"asv","9","17","16","And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days."
"asv","9","17","17","And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry  them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;"
"asv","9","17","18","and bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge."
"asv","9","17","19","Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."
"asv","9","17","20","And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle."
"asv","9","17","21","And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army."
"asv","9","17","22","And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and saluted his brethren."
"asv","9","17","23","And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them."
"asv","9","17","24","And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid."
"asv","9","17","25","And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel."
"asv","9","17","26","And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
"asv","9","17","27","And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him."
"asv","9","17","28","And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle."
"asv","9","17","29","And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
"asv","9","17","30","And he turned away from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner."
"asv","9","17","31","And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him."
"asv","9","17","32","And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
"asv","9","17","33","And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
"asv","9","17","34","And David said unto Saul, Thy servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,"
"asv","9","17","35","I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him."
"asv","9","17","36","Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God."
"asv","9","17","37","And David said, Jehovah that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and Jehovah shall be with thee."
"asv","9","17","38","And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail."
"asv","9","17","39","And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him."
"asv","9","17","40","And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine."
"asv","9","17","41","And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him."
"asv","9","17","42","And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance."
"asv","9","17","43","And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods."
"asv","9","17","44","And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field."
"asv","9","17","45","Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied."
"asv","9","17","46","This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,"
"asv","9","17","47","and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand."
"asv","9","17","48","And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine."
"asv","9","17","49","And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth."
"asv","9","17","50","So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David."
"asv","9","17","51","Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled."
"asv","9","17","52","And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron."
"asv","9","17","53","And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp."
"asv","9","17","54","And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent."
"asv","9","17","55","And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell."
"asv","9","17","56","And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling is."
"asv","9","17","57","And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand."
"asv","9","17","58","And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite."
"asv","9","18","1","And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul."
"asv","9","18","2","And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house."
"asv","9","18","3","Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul."
"asv","9","18","4","And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his apparel, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle."
"asv","9","18","5","And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him,  and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants."
"asv","9","18","6","And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music."
"asv","9","18","7","And the women sang one to another as they played, and said,Saul hath slain his thousands,And David his ten thousands."
"asv","9","18","8","And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?"
"asv","9","18","9","And Saul eyed David from that day and forward."
"asv","9","18","10","And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day. And Saul had his spear in his hand;"
"asv","9","18","11","and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice."
"asv","9","18","12","And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and was departed from Saul."
"asv","9","18","13","Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people."
"asv","9","18","14","And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him."
"asv","9","18","15","And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him."
"asv","9","18","16","But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them."
"asv","9","18","17","And Saul said to David, Behold, my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah’s battles. For Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him."
"asv","9","18","18","And David said unto Saul, Who am I, and what is my life,  or  my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
"asv","9","18","19","But it came to pass at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife."
"asv","9","18","20","And Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him."
"asv","9","18","21","And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time."
"asv","9","18","22","And Saul commanded his servants,  saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king’s son-in-law."
"asv","9","18","23","And Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?"
"asv","9","18","24","And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David."
"asv","9","18","25","And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","9","18","26","And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. And the days were not expired;"
"asv","9","18","27","and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife."
"asv","9","18","28","And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him."
"asv","9","18","29","And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually."
"asv","9","18","30","Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by."
"asv","9","19","1","And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted much in David."
"asv","9","19","2","And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to slay thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:"
"asv","9","19","3","and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee."
"asv","9","19","4","And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:"
"asv","9","19","5","for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?"
"asv","9","19","6","And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As Jehovah liveth, he shall not be put to death."
"asv","9","19","7","And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime."
"asv","9","19","8","And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him."
"asv","9","19","9","And an evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand."
"asv","9","19","10","And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night."
"asv","9","19","11","And Saul sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou wilt be slain."
"asv","9","19","12","So Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped."
"asv","9","19","13","And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’  hair at the head thereof, and covered it with the clothes."
"asv","9","19","14","And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick."
"asv","9","19","15","And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him."
"asv","9","19","16","And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats’  hair at the head thereof."
"asv","9","19","17","And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, so that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?"
"asv","9","19","18","Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth."
"asv","9","19","19","And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah."
"asv","9","19","20","And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied."
"asv","9","19","21","And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied."
"asv","9","19","22","Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah."
"asv","9","19","23","And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah."
"asv","9","19","24","And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?"
"asv","9","20","1","And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?"
"asv","9","20","2","And he said unto him, Far from it; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so."
"asv","9","20","3","And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death."
"asv","9","20","4","Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee."
"asv","9","20","5","And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even."
"asv","9","20","6","If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family."
"asv","9","20","7","If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be wroth, then know that evil is determined by him."
"asv","9","20","8","Therefore deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?"
"asv","9","20","9","And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?"
"asv","9","20","10","Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer thee roughly?"
"asv","9","20","11","And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field."
"asv","9","20","12","And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel,  be witness: when I have sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee?"
"asv","9","20","13","Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my father."
"asv","9","20","14","And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of Jehovah, that I die not;"
"asv","9","20","15","but also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever; no, not when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth."
"asv","9","20","16","So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David,  saying, And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David’s enemies."
"asv","9","20","17","And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul."
"asv","9","20","18","Then Jonathan said unto him, To-morrow is the new moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty."
"asv","9","20","19","And when thou hast stayed three days, thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel."
"asv","9","20","20","And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark."
"asv","9","20","21","And, behold, I will send the lad,  saying, Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as Jehovah liveth."
"asv","9","20","22","But if I say thus unto the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way; for Jehovah hath sent thee away."
"asv","9","20","23","And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me for ever."
"asv","9","20","24","So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food."
"asv","9","20","25","And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but David’s place was empty."
"asv","9","20","26","Nevertheless Saul spake not anything that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean."
"asv","9","20","27","And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon,  which was  the second  day, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?"
"asv","9","20","28","And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:"
"asv","9","20","29","and he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me  to be there: and now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he is not come unto the king’s table."
"asv","9","20","30","Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame of thy mother’s nakedness?"
"asv","9","20","31","For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die."
"asv","9","20","32","And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done?"
"asv","9","20","33","And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death."
"asv","9","20","34","So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame."
"asv","9","20","35","And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him."
"asv","9","20","36","And he said unto his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him."
"asv","9","20","37","And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?"
"asv","9","20","38","And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master."
"asv","9","20","39","But the lad knew not anything: only Jonathan and David knew the matter."
"asv","9","20","40","And Jonathan gave his weapons unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city."
"asv","9","20","41","And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of  a place  toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded."
"asv","9","20","42","And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city."
"asv","9","21","1","Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?"
"asv","9","21","2","And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know anything of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place."
"asv","9","21","3","Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatsoever there is present."
"asv","9","21","4","And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."
"asv","9","21","5","And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day shall their vessels be holy?"
"asv","9","21","6","So the priest gave him holy  bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before Jehovah, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away."
"asv","9","21","7","Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul."
"asv","9","21","8","And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste."
"asv","9","21","9","And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the vale of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me."
"asv","9","21","10","And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath."
"asv","9","21","11","And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying,Saul hath slain his thousands,And David his ten thousands?"
"asv","9","21","12","And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath."
"asv","9","21","13","And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard."
"asv","9","21","14","Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad; wherefore then have ye brought him to me?"
"asv","9","21","15","Do I lack madmen, that ye have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?"
"asv","9","22","1","David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him."
"asv","9","22","2","And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men."
"asv","9","22","3","And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth,  and be  with you, till I know what God will do for me."
"asv","9","22","4","And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold."
"asv","9","22","5","And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth."
"asv","9","22","6","And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him: now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him."
"asv","9","22","7","And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,"
"asv","9","22","8","that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that discloseth to me when my son maketh a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
"asv","9","22","9","Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub."
"asv","9","22","10","And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
"asv","9","22","11","Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king."
"asv","9","22","12","And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord."
"asv","9","22","13","And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"
"asv","9","22","14","Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy house?"
"asv","9","22","15","Have I to-day begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute anything unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more."
"asv","9","22","16","And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house."
"asv","9","22","17","And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of Jehovah; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of Jehovah."
"asv","9","22","18","And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod."
"asv","9","22","19","And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword."
"asv","9","22","20","And one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David."
"asv","9","22","21","And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah’s priests."
"asv","9","22","22","And David said unto Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned  the death  of all the persons of thy father’s house."
"asv","9","22","23","Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard."
"asv","9","23","1","And they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing-floors."
"asv","9","23","2","Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And Jehovah said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah."
"asv","9","23","3","And David’s men said unto him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
"asv","9","23","4","Then David inquired of Jehovah yet again. And Jehovah answered him, and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand."
"asv","9","23","5","And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah."
"asv","9","23","6","And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand."
"asv","9","23","7","And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars."
"asv","9","23","8","And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men."
"asv","9","23","9","And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod."
"asv","9","23","10","Then said David, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake."
"asv","9","23","11","Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Jehovah, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down."
"asv","9","23","12","Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And Jehovah said, They will deliver thee up."
"asv","9","23","13","Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth."
"asv","9","23","14","And David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand."
"asv","9","23","15","And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood."
"asv","9","23","16","And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God."
"asv","9","23","17","And he said unto him, Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth."
"asv","9","23","18","And they two made a covenant before Jehovah: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house."
"asv","9","23","19","Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?"
"asv","9","23","20","Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king’s hand."
"asv","9","23","21","And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Jehovah; for ye have had compassion on me."
"asv","9","23","22","Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is,  and who hath seen him there; for it is told me that he dealeth very subtly."
"asv","9","23","23","See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me of a certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah."
"asv","9","23","24","And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert."
"asv","9","23","25","And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard  that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon."
"asv","9","23","26","And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them."
"asv","9","23","27","But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land."
"asv","9","23","28","So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth."
"asv","9","23","29","And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi."
"asv","9","24","1","And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi."
"asv","9","24","2","Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats."
"asv","9","24","3","And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave."
"asv","9","24","4","And the men of David said unto him, Behold, the day of which Jehovah said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thy hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privily."
"asv","9","24","5","And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt."
"asv","9","24","6","And he said unto his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing unto my lord, Jehovah’s anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is Jehovah’s anointed."
"asv","9","24","7","So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way."
"asv","9","24","8","David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance."
"asv","9","24","9","And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearkenest thou to men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?"
"asv","9","24","10","Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had delivered thee to-day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee; but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Jehovah’s anointed."
"asv","9","24","11","Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou huntest after my life to take it."
"asv","9","24","12","Jehovah judge between me and thee, and Jehovah avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee."
"asv","9","24","13","As saith the proverb of the ancients, Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness; but my hand shall not be upon thee."
"asv","9","24","14","After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea."
"asv","9","24","15","Jehovah therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand."
"asv","9","24","16","And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept."
"asv","9","24","17","And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rendered unto me good, whereas I have rendered unto thee evil."
"asv","9","24","18","And thou hast declared this day how that thou hast dealt well with me, forasmuch as when Jehovah had delivered me up into thy hand, thou killedst me not."
"asv","9","24","19","For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore Jehovah reward thee good for that which thou hast done unto me this day."
"asv","9","24","20","And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand."
"asv","9","24","21","Swear now therefore unto me by Jehovah, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father’s house."
"asv","9","24","22","And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the stronghold."
"asv","9","25","1","And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran."
"asv","9","25","2","And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel."
"asv","9","25","3","Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb."
"asv","9","25","4","And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep."
"asv","9","25","5","And David sent ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:"
"asv","9","25","6","and thus shall ye say to him that liveth  in prosperity, Peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be unto all that thou hast."
"asv","9","25","7","And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel."
"asv","9","25","8","Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee: wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thy hand, unto thy servants, and to thy son David."
"asv","9","25","9","And when David’s young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased."
"asv","9","25","10","And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man from his master."
"asv","9","25","11","Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men of whom I know not whence they are?"
"asv","9","25","12","So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words."
"asv","9","25","13","And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage."
"asv","9","25","14","But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them."
"asv","9","25","15","But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields:"
"asv","9","25","16","they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep."
"asv","9","25","17","Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house: for he is such a worthless fellow, that one cannot speak to him."
"asv","9","25","18","Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses."
"asv","9","25","19","And she said unto her young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal."
"asv","9","25","20","And it was so, as she rode on her ass, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them."
"asv","9","25","21","Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good."
"asv","9","25","22","God do so unto the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light so much as one man-child."
"asv","9","25","23","And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and alighted from her ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground."
"asv","9","25","24","And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity; and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid."
"asv","9","25","25","Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send."
"asv","9","25","26","Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal."
"asv","9","25","27","And now this present which thy servant hath brought unto my lord, let it be given unto the young men that follow my lord."
"asv","9","25","28","Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battles of Jehovah; and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days."
"asv","9","25","29","And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the hollow of a sling."
"asv","9","25","30","And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,"
"asv","9","25","31","that this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid."
"asv","9","25","32","And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:"
"asv","9","25","33","and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, that hast kept me this day from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging myself with mine own hand."
"asv","9","25","34","For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, who hath withholden me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child."
"asv","9","25","35","So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said unto her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person."
"asv","9","25","36","And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light."
"asv","9","25","37","And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone."
"asv","9","25","38","And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died."
"asv","9","25","39","And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept back his servant from evil: and the evil-doing of Nabal hath Jehovah returned upon his own head. And David sent and spake concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife."
"asv","9","25","40","And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife."
"asv","9","25","41","And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."
"asv","9","25","42","And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife."
"asv","9","25","43","David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they became both of them his wives."
"asv","9","25","44","Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim."
"asv","9","26","1","And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?"
"asv","9","26","2","Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph."
"asv","9","26","3","And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness."
"asv","9","26","4","David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty."
"asv","9","26","5","And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped round about him."
"asv","9","26","6","Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee."
"asv","9","26","7","So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him."
"asv","9","26","8","Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time."
"asv","9","26","9","And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah’s anointed, and be guiltless?"
"asv","9","26","10","And David said, As Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish."
"asv","9","26","11","Jehovah forbid that I should put forth my hand against Jehovah’s anointed: but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go."
"asv","9","26","12","So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s head; and they gat them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen upon them."
"asv","9","26","13","Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;"
"asv","9","26","14","and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?"
"asv","9","26","15","And David said to Abner, Art not thou a  valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord."
"asv","9","26","16","This thing is not good that thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head."
"asv","9","26","17","And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king."
"asv","9","26","18","And he said, Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?"
"asv","9","26","19","Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Jehovah that hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods."
"asv","9","26","20","Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains."
"asv","9","26","21","Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."
"asv","9","26","22","And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it."
"asv","9","26","23","And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as Jehovah delivered thee into my hand to-day, and I would not put forth my hand against Jehovah’s anointed."
"asv","9","26","24","And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of Jehovah, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation."
"asv","9","26","25","Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place."
"asv","9","27","1","And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand."
"asv","9","27","2","And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath."
"asv","9","27","3","And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife."
"asv","9","27","4","And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him."
"asv","9","27","5","And David said unto Achish, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?"
"asv","9","27","6","Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day."
"asv","9","27","7","And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months."
"asv","9","27","8","And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those  nations were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt."
"asv","9","27","9","And David smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel; and he returned, and came to Achish."
"asv","9","27","10","And Achish said, Against whom have ye made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites."
"asv","9","27","11","And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines."
"asv","9","27","12","And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever."
"asv","9","28","1","And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their hosts together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me in the host, thou and thy men."
"asv","9","28","2","And David said to Achish, Therefore thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my head for ever."
"asv","9","28","3","Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land."
"asv","9","28","4","And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa."
"asv","9","28","5","And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly."
"asv","9","28","6","And when Saul inquired of Jehovah, Jehovah answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets."
"asv","9","28","7","Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor."
"asv","9","28","8","And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, Divine unto me, I pray thee, by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomsoever I shall name unto thee."
"asv","9","28","9","And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"
"asv","9","28","10","And Saul sware to her by Jehovah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing."
"asv","9","28","11","Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel."
"asv","9","28","12","And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul."
"asv","9","28","13","And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what seest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth."
"asv","9","28","14","And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and did obeisance."
"asv","9","28","15","And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do."
"asv","9","28","16","And Samuel said, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing Jehovah is departed from thee, and is become thine adversary?"
"asv","9","28","17","And Jehovah hath done unto thee, as he spake by me: and Jehovah hath rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even to David."
"asv","9","28","18","Because thou obeyedst not the voice of Jehovah, and didst not execute his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath Jehovah done this thing unto thee this day."
"asv","9","28","19","Moreover Jehovah will deliver Israel also with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: Jehovah will deliver the host of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","9","28","20","Then Saul fell straightway his full length upon the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night."
"asv","9","28","21","And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thy handmaid hath hearkened unto thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me."
"asv","9","28","22","Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way."
"asv","9","28","23","But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed."
"asv","9","28","24","And the woman had a fatted calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it; and she took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:"
"asv","9","28","25","and she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night."
"asv","9","29","1","Now the Philistines gathered together all their hosts to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by the fountain which is in Jezreel."
"asv","9","29","2","And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rearward with Achish."
"asv","9","29","3","Then said the princes of the Philistines, What  do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or  rather these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away  unto me unto this day?"
"asv","9","29","4","But the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for wherewith should this  fellow reconcile himself unto his lord? should it not be with the heads of these men?"
"asv","9","29","5","Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying,Saul hath slain his thousands,And David his ten thousands?"
"asv","9","29","6","Then Achish called David, and said unto him, As Jehovah liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not."
"asv","9","29","7","Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines."
"asv","9","29","8","And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been before thee unto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"
"asv","9","29","9","And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle."
"asv","9","29","10","Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of thy lord that are come with thee; and as soon as ye are up early in the morning, and have light, depart."
"asv","9","29","11","So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel."
"asv","9","30","1","And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,"
"asv","9","30","2","and had taken captive the women  and all that were therein, both small and great: they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way."
"asv","9","30","3","And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive."
"asv","9","30","4","Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep."
"asv","9","30","5","And David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite."
"asv","9","30","6","And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God."
"asv","9","30","7","And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David."
"asv","9","30","8","And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake  them, and shalt without fail recover  all."
"asv","9","30","9","So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed."
"asv","9","30","10","But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor."
"asv","9","30","11","And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;"
"asv","9","30","12","and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights."
"asv","9","30","13","And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick."
"asv","9","30","14","We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."
"asv","9","30","15","And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop."
"asv","9","30","16","And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah."
"asv","9","30","17","And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled."
"asv","9","30","18","And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives."
"asv","9","30","19","And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them: David brought back all."
"asv","9","30","20","And David took all the flocks and the herds,  which they drove before those  other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil."
"asv","9","30","21","And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them."
"asv","9","30","22","Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart."
"asv","9","30","23","Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand."
"asv","9","30","24","And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the baggage: they shall share alike."
"asv","9","30","25","And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day."
"asv","9","30","26","And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:"
"asv","9","30","27","To them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir,"
"asv","9","30","28","and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa,"
"asv","9","30","29","and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites,"
"asv","9","30","30","and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach,"
"asv","9","30","31","and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt."
"asv","9","31","1","Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa."
"asv","9","31","2","And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul."
"asv","9","31","3","And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers."
"asv","9","31","4","Then said Saul to his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it."
"asv","9","31","5","And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him."
"asv","9","31","6","So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armorbearer, and all his men, that same day together."
"asv","9","31","7","And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them."
"asv","9","31","8","And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa."
"asv","9","31","9","And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto the house of their idols, and to the people."
"asv","9","31","10","And they put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan."
"asv","9","31","11","And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,"
"asv","9","31","12","all the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh, and burnt them there."
"asv","9","31","13","And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days."
"asv","10","1","1","And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;"
"asv","10","1","2","it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance."
"asv","10","1","3","And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped."
"asv","10","1","4","And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."
"asv","10","1","5","And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"
"asv","10","1","6","And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him."
"asv","10","1","7","And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I."
"asv","10","1","8","And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite."
"asv","10","1","9","And he said unto me, Stand, I pray thee, beside me, and slay me; for anguish hath taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me."
"asv","10","1","10","So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord."
"asv","10","1","11","Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:"
"asv","10","1","12","and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword."
"asv","10","1","13","And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite."
"asv","10","1","14","And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah’s anointed?"
"asv","10","1","15","And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him, so that he died."
"asv","10","1","16","And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah’s anointed."
"asv","10","1","17","And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son"
"asv","10","1","18","(and he bade them teach the children of Judah  the song of  the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):"
"asv","10","1","19","Thy glory, O Israel, is slain upon thy high places!How are the mighty fallen!"
"asv","10","1","20","Tell it not in Gath,Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon;Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph."
"asv","10","1","21","Ye mountains of Gilboa,Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, neither fields of offerings:For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away,The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil."
"asv","10","1","22","From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,The bow of Jonathan turned not back,And the sword of Saul returned not empty."
"asv","10","1","23","Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives,And in their death they were not divided:They were swifter than eagles,They were stronger than lions."
"asv","10","1","24","Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul,Who clothed you in scarlet delicately,Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel."
"asv","10","1","25","How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!Jonathan is slain upon thy high places."
"asv","10","1","26","I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan:Very pleasant hast thou been unto me:Thy love to me was wonderful,Passing the love of women."
"asv","10","1","27","How are the mighty fallen,And the weapons of war perished!"
"asv","10","2","1","And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron."
"asv","10","2","2","So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite."
"asv","10","2","3","And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron."
"asv","10","2","4","And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah."
"asv","10","2","5","And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have showed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him."
"asv","10","2","6","And now Jehovah show lovingkindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing."
"asv","10","2","7","Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them."
"asv","10","2","8","Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;"
"asv","10","2","9","and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel."
"asv","10","2","10","Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David."
"asv","10","2","11","And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months."
"asv","10","2","12","And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon."
"asv","10","2","13","And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool."
"asv","10","2","14","And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men, I pray thee, arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise."
"asv","10","2","15","Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David."
"asv","10","2","16","And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and  thrust  his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon."
"asv","10","2","17","And the battle was very sore that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David."
"asv","10","2","18","And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe."
"asv","10","2","19","And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner."
"asv","10","2","20","Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it thou, Asahel? And he answered, It is I."
"asv","10","2","21","And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him."
"asv","10","2","22","And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?"
"asv","10","2","23","Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still."
"asv","10","2","24","But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon."
"asv","10","2","25","And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill."
"asv","10","2","26","Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?"
"asv","10","2","27","And Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one his brother."
"asv","10","2","28","So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more."
"asv","10","2","29","And Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim."
"asv","10","2","30","And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel."
"asv","10","2","31","But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and threescore men died."
"asv","10","2","32","And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day brake upon them at Hebron."
"asv","10","3","1","Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: and David waxed stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker."
"asv","10","3","2","And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;"
"asv","10","3","3","and his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;"
"asv","10","3","4","and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;"
"asv","10","3","5","and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David’s wife. These were born to David in Hebron."
"asv","10","3","6","And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong in the house of Saul."
"asv","10","3","7","Now Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and  Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father’s concubine?"
"asv","10","3","8","Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head that belongeth to Judah? This day do I show kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman."
"asv","10","3","9","God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as Jehovah hath sworn to David, I do not even so to him;"
"asv","10","3","10","to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba."
"asv","10","3","11","And he could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him."
"asv","10","3","12","And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying  also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee."
"asv","10","3","13","And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee; but one thing I require of thee: that is, thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face."
"asv","10","3","14","And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
"asv","10","3","15","And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Paltiel the son of Laish."
"asv","10","3","16","And her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return: and he returned."
"asv","10","3","17","And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, In times past ye sought for David to be king over you:"
"asv","10","3","18","now then do it; for Jehovah hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies."
"asv","10","3","19","And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin."
"asv","10","3","20","So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast."
"asv","10","3","21","And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace."
"asv","10","3","22","And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a foray, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace."
"asv","10","3","23","When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace."
"asv","10","3","24","Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?"
"asv","10","3","25","Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest."
"asv","10","3","26","And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not."
"asv","10","3","27","And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother."
"asv","10","3","28","And afterward, when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:"
"asv","10","3","29","let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread."
"asv","10","3","30","So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle."
"asv","10","3","31","And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier."
"asv","10","3","32","And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept."
"asv","10","3","33","And the king lamented for Abner, and said,Should Abner die as a fool dieth?"
"asv","10","3","34","Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters:As a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall."
"asv","10","3","35","And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David sware, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, till the sun be down."
"asv","10","3","36","And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people."
"asv","10","3","37","So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner."
"asv","10","3","38","And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"
"asv","10","3","39","And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness."
"asv","10","4","1","And when  Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled."
"asv","10","4","2","And  Ish-bosheth, Saul’s son,  had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is reckoned to Benjamin:"
"asv","10","4","3","and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have been sojourners there until this day)."
"asv","10","4","4","Now Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth."
"asv","10","4","5","And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, as he took his rest at noon."
"asv","10","4","6","And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the body: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped."
"asv","10","4","7","Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of the Arabah all night."
"asv","10","4","8","And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold, the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed."
"asv","10","4","9","And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,"
"asv","10","4","10","when one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his tidings."
"asv","10","4","11","How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
"asv","10","4","12","And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron."
"asv","10","5","1","Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh."
"asv","10","5","2","In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt be shepherd of my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel."
"asv","10","5","3","So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah: and they anointed David king over Israel."
"asv","10","5","4","David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years."
"asv","10","5","5","In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah."
"asv","10","5","6","And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither; thinking, David cannot come in hither."
"asv","10","5","7","Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David."
"asv","10","5","8","And David said on that day, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and  smite the lame and the blind, that are hated of David’s soul. Wherefore they say, There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house."
"asv","10","5","9","And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward."
"asv","10","5","10","And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah, the God of hosts, was with him."
"asv","10","5","11","And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house."
"asv","10","5","12","And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake."
"asv","10","5","13","And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David."
"asv","10","5","14","And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,"
"asv","10","5","15","and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,"
"asv","10","5","16","and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet."
"asv","10","5","17","And when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold."
"asv","10","5","18","Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim."
"asv","10","5","19","And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand."
"asv","10","5","20","And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim."
"asv","10","5","21","And they left their images there; and David and his men took them away."
"asv","10","5","22","And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim."
"asv","10","5","23","And when David inquired of Jehovah, he said, Thou shalt not go up: make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees."
"asv","10","5","24","And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then is Jehovah gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines."
"asv","10","5","25","And David did so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer."
"asv","10","6","1","And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand."
"asv","10","6","2","And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Jehovah of hosts that sitteth  above the cherubim."
"asv","10","6","3","And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart."
"asv","10","6","4","And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark."
"asv","10","6","5","And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah with all manner of  instruments made of fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals."
"asv","10","6","6","And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled."
"asv","10","6","7","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God."
"asv","10","6","8","And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-uzzah, unto this day."
"asv","10","6","9","And David was afraid of Jehovah that day; and he said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come unto me?"
"asv","10","6","10","So David would not remove the ark of Jehovah unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite."
"asv","10","6","11","And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and Jehovah blessed Obed-edom, and all his house."
"asv","10","6","12","And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy."
"asv","10","6","13","And it was so, that, when they that bare the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling."
"asv","10","6","14","And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod."
"asv","10","6","15","So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet."
"asv","10","6","16","And it was so, as the ark of Jehovah came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart."
"asv","10","6","17","And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah."
"asv","10","6","18","And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","10","6","19","And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed every one to his house."
"asv","10","6","20","Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to-day, who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!"
"asv","10","6","21","And David said unto Michal,  It was before Jehovah, who chose me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Jehovah, over Israel: therefore will I play before Jehovah."
"asv","10","6","22","And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in mine own sight: but of the handmaids of whom thou hast spoken, of them shall I be had in honor."
"asv","10","6","23","And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death."
"asv","10","7","1","And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies round about,"
"asv","10","7","2","that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains."
"asv","10","7","3","And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee."
"asv","10","7","4","And it came to pass the same night, that the word of Jehovah came unto Nathan, saying,"
"asv","10","7","5","Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah, Shalt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?"
"asv","10","7","6","for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle."
"asv","10","7","7","In all places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?"
"asv","10","7","8","Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over my people, over Israel;"
"asv","10","7","9","and I have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth."
"asv","10","7","10","And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,"
"asv","10","7","11","and  as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover Jehovah telleth thee that Jehovah will make thee a house."
"asv","10","7","12","When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom."
"asv","10","7","13","He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever."
"asv","10","7","14","I will be his father, and he shall be my son: if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;"
"asv","10","7","15","but my lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee."
"asv","10","7","16","And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever."
"asv","10","7","17","According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David."
"asv","10","7","18","Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Lord Jehovah, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?"
"asv","10","7","19","And this was yet a small thing in thine eyes, O Lord Jehovah; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant’s house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of men, O Lord Jehovah!"
"asv","10","7","20","And what can David say more unto thee? for thou knowest thy servant, O Lord Jehovah."
"asv","10","7","21","For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make thy servant know it."
"asv","10","7","22","Wherefore thou art great, O Jehovah God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears."
"asv","10","7","23","And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, and to make him a name, and to do great things for you, and terrible things for thy land, before thy people, whom thou redeemest to thee out of Egypt,  from the nations and their gods?"
"asv","10","7","24","And thou didst establish to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God."
"asv","10","7","25","And now, O Jehovah God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm thou it for ever, and do as thou hast spoken."
"asv","10","7","26","And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of thy servant David shall be established before thee."
"asv","10","7","27","For thou, O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee."
"asv","10","7","28","And now, O Lord Jehovah, thou art God, and thy words are truth, and thou hast promised this good thing unto thy servant:"
"asv","10","7","29","now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever."
"asv","10","8","1","And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","10","8","2","And he smote Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute."
"asv","10","8","3","David smote also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River."
"asv","10","8","4","And David took from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots."
"asv","10","8","5","And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadadezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men."
"asv","10","8","6","Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went."
"asv","10","8","7","And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem."
"asv","10","8","8","And from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass."
"asv","10","8","9","And when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,"
"asv","10","8","10","then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And  Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:"
"asv","10","8","11","These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;"
"asv","10","8","12","of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah."
"asv","10","8","13","And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men."
"asv","10","8","14","And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went."
"asv","10","8","15","And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness unto all his people."
"asv","10","8","16","And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;"
"asv","10","8","17","and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Seraiah was scribe;"
"asv","10","8","18","and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada  was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers."
"asv","10","9","1","And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?"
"asv","10","9","2","And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba, and they called him unto David; and the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he."
"asv","10","9","3","And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, who is lame of his feet."
"asv","10","9","4","And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo-debar."
"asv","10","9","5","Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar."
"asv","10","9","6","And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came unto David, and fell on his face, and did obeisance. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold, thy servant!"
"asv","10","9","7","And David said unto him, Fear not; for I will surely show thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually."
"asv","10","9","8","And he did obeisance, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?"
"asv","10","9","9","Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, All that pertained to Saul and to all his house have I given unto thy master’s son."
"asv","10","9","10","And thou shalt till the land for him, thou, and thy sons, and thy servants; and thou shalt bring in  the fruits, that thy master’s son may have bread to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants."
"asv","10","9","11","Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king commandeth his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons."
"asv","10","9","12","And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Mica. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth."
"asv","10","9","13","So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem; for he did eat continually at the king’s table. And he was lame in both his feet."
"asv","10","10","1","And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","10","10","2","And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon."
"asv","10","10","3","But the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, in that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
"asv","10","10","4","So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away."
"asv","10","10","5","When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return."
"asv","10","10","6","And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men."
"asv","10","10","7","And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men."
"asv","10","10","8","And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field."
"asv","10","10","9","Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:"
"asv","10","10","10","And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon."
"asv","10","10","11","And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee."
"asv","10","10","12","Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him good."
"asv","10","10","13","So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him."
"asv","10","10","14","And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem."
"asv","10","10","15","And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together."
"asv","10","10","16","And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head."
"asv","10","10","17","And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him."
"asv","10","10","18","And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, so that he died there."
"asv","10","10","19","And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more."
"asv","10","11","1","And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out  to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem."
"asv","10","11","2","And it came to pass at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon."
"asv","10","11","3","And David send and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"
"asv","10","11","4","And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned unto her house."
"asv","10","11","5","And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child."
"asv","10","11","6","And David sent to Joab,  saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David."
"asv","10","11","7","And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered."
"asv","10","11","8","And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess of food from the king."
"asv","10","11","9","But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house."
"asv","10","11","10","And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?"
"asv","10","11","11","And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open field; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing."
"asv","10","11","12","And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow."
"asv","10","11","13","And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house."
"asv","10","11","14","And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah."
"asv","10","11","15","And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die."
"asv","10","11","16","And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were."
"asv","10","11","17","And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also."
"asv","10","11","18","Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;"
"asv","10","11","19","and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,"
"asv","10","11","20","it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?"
"asv","10","11","21","who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."
"asv","10","11","22","So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for."
"asv","10","11","23","And the messenger said unto David, The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate."
"asv","10","11","24","And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."
"asv","10","11","25","Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him."
"asv","10","11","26","And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband."
"asv","10","11","27","And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Jehovah."
"asv","10","12","1","And Jehovah sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor."
"asv","10","12","2","The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds;"
"asv","10","12","3","but the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter."
"asv","10","12","4","And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him."
"asv","10","12","5","And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done this is worthy to die:"
"asv","10","12","6","and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."
"asv","10","12","7","And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;"
"asv","10","12","8","and I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added unto thee such and such things."
"asv","10","12","9","Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? thou hast smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon."
"asv","10","12","10","Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife."
"asv","10","12","11","Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house; and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun."
"asv","10","12","12","For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun."
"asv","10","12","13","And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said unto David, Jehovah also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die."
"asv","10","12","14","Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die."
"asv","10","12","15","And Nathan departed unto his house."
"asv","10","12","16","David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth."
"asv","10","12","17","And the elders of his house arose,  and stood beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them."
"asv","10","12","18","And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!"
"asv","10","12","19","But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead."
"asv","10","12","20","Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel; and he came into the house of Jehovah, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat."
"asv","10","12","21","Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread."
"asv","10","12","22","And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who knoweth whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?"
"asv","10","12","23","But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."
"asv","10","12","24","And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon. And Jehovah loved him;"
"asv","10","12","25","and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah’s sake."
"asv","10","12","26","Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city."
"asv","10","12","27","And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters."
"asv","10","12","28","Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called after my name."
"asv","10","12","29","And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it."
"asv","10","12","30","And he took the crown of their king from off his head; and the weight thereof was a talent of gold, and  in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much."
"asv","10","12","31","And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem."
"asv","10","13","1","And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her."
"asv","10","13","2","And Amnon was so vexed that he fell sick because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything unto her."
"asv","10","13","3","But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother; and Jonadab was a very subtle man."
"asv","10","13","4","And he said unto him, Why, O son of the king, art thou thus lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister."
"asv","10","13","5","And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and give me bread to eat, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it from her hand."
"asv","10","13","6","So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, Let my sister Tamar come, I pray thee, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."
"asv","10","13","7","Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon’s house, and dress him food."
"asv","10","13","8","So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was laid down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes."
"asv","10","13","9","And she took the pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him."
"asv","10","13","10","And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother."
"asv","10","13","11","And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come, lie with me, my sister."
"asv","10","13","12","And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly."
"asv","10","13","13","And I, whither shall I carry my shame? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee."
"asv","10","13","14","Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice; but being stronger than she, he forced her, and lay with her."
"asv","10","13","15","Then Amnon hated her with exceeding great hatred; for the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone."
"asv","10","13","16","And she said unto him, Not so, because this great wrong in putting me forth is  worse than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her."
"asv","10","13","17","Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her."
"asv","10","13","18","And she had a garment of divers colors upon her; for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her."
"asv","10","13","19","And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her; and she laid her hand on her head, and went her way, crying aloud as she went."
"asv","10","13","20","And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now hold thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; take not this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house."
"asv","10","13","21","But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth."
"asv","10","13","22","And Absalom spake unto Amnon neither good nor bad; for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar."
"asv","10","13","23","And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons."
"asv","10","13","24","And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-shearers; let the king, I pray thee, and his servants go with thy servant."
"asv","10","13","25","And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him."
"asv","10","13","26","Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?"
"asv","10","13","27","But Absalom pressed him, and he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him."
"asv","10","13","28","And Absalom commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine; and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon, then kill him; fear not; have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant."
"asv","10","13","29","And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled."
"asv","10","13","30","And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that the tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left."
"asv","10","13","31","Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent."
"asv","10","13","32","And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead; for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar."
"asv","10","13","33","Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead; for Amnon only is dead."
"asv","10","13","34","But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him."
"asv","10","13","35","And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is."
"asv","10","13","36","And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore."
"asv","10","13","37","But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammihur, king of Geshur. And  David mourned for his son every day."
"asv","10","13","38","So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years."
"asv","10","13","39","And  the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead."
"asv","10","14","1","Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom."
"asv","10","14","2","And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath a long time mourned for the dead:"
"asv","10","14","3","and go in to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth."
"asv","10","14","4","And when the woman of Tekoa spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king."
"asv","10","14","5","And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, Of a truth I am a widow, and my husband is dead."
"asv","10","14","6","And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him."
"asv","10","14","7","And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also. Thus will they quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth."
"asv","10","14","8","And the king said unto the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee."
"asv","10","14","9","And the woman of Tekoa said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house; and the king and his throne be guiltless."
"asv","10","14","10","And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more."
"asv","10","14","11","Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth."
"asv","10","14","12","Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on."
"asv","10","14","13","And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one that is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one."
"asv","10","14","14","For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him."
"asv","10","14","15","Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant."
"asv","10","14","16","For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God."
"asv","10","14","17","Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee."
"asv","10","14","18","Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak."
"asv","10","14","19","And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid;"
"asv","10","14","20","to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth."
"asv","10","14","21","And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back."
"asv","10","14","22","And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favor in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of his servant."
"asv","10","14","23","So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem."
"asv","10","14","24","And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face."
"asv","10","14","25","Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him."
"asv","10","14","26","And when he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year’s end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king’s weight."
"asv","10","14","27","And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance."
"asv","10","14","28","And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the king’s face."
"asv","10","14","29","Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come."
"asv","10","14","30","Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire."
"asv","10","14","31","Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?"
"asv","10","14","32","And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me."
"asv","10","14","33","So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom."
"asv","10","15","1","And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him."
"asv","10","15","2","And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel."
"asv","10","15","3","And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee."
"asv","10","15","4","Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!"
"asv","10","15","5","And it was so, that, when any man came nigh to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him."
"asv","10","15","6","And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel."
"asv","10","15","7","And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto Jehovah, in Hebron."
"asv","10","15","8","For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah."
"asv","10","15","9","And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron."
"asv","10","15","10","But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron."
"asv","10","15","11","And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they knew not anything."
"asv","10","15","12","And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom."
"asv","10","15","13","And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
"asv","10","15","14","And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword."
"asv","10","15","15","And the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall choose."
"asv","10","15","16","And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, that were concubines, to keep the house."
"asv","10","15","17","And the king went forth, and all the people after him; and they tarried in Beth-merhak."
"asv","10","15","18","And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king."
"asv","10","15","19","Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile;  return to thine own place."
"asv","10","15","20","Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee."
"asv","10","15","21","And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be."
"asv","10","15","22","And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him."
"asv","10","15","23","And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness."
"asv","10","15","24","And, lo, Zadok also  came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city."
"asv","10","15","25","And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation:"
"asv","10","15","26","but if he say thus, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him."
"asv","10","15","27","The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art thou  not a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar."
"asv","10","15","28","See, I will tarry at the fords of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me."
"asv","10","15","29","Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they abode there."
"asv","10","15","30","And David went up by the ascent of the  mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people that were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up."
"asv","10","15","31","And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
"asv","10","15","32","And it came to pass, that, when David was come to the top  of the ascent, where God was worshipped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head."
"asv","10","15","33","And David said unto him, If thou passest on with me, then thou wilt be a burden unto me:"
"asv","10","15","34","but if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel."
"asv","10","15","35","And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests."
"asv","10","15","36","Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me everything that ye shall hear."
"asv","10","15","37","So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem."
"asv","10","16","1","And when David was a little past the top  of the ascent, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine."
"asv","10","16","2","And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink."
"asv","10","16","3","And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father."
"asv","10","16","4","Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, O king."
"asv","10","16","5","And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and cursed still as he came."
"asv","10","16","6","And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left."
"asv","10","16","7","And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow:"
"asv","10","16","8","Jehovah hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art  taken in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood."
"asv","10","16","9","Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head."
"asv","10","16","10","And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because Jehovah hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so?"
"asv","10","16","11","And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more  may this Benjamite now  do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for Jehovah hath bidden him."
"asv","10","16","12","It may be that Jehovah will look on the wrong done unto me, and that Jehovah will requite me good for  his cursing of me this day."
"asv","10","16","13","So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust."
"asv","10","16","14","And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there."
"asv","10","16","15","And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him."
"asv","10","16","16","And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom,  Long live the king, Long live the king."
"asv","10","16","17","And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?"
"asv","10","16","18","And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide."
"asv","10","16","19","And again, whom should I serve?  should I not  serve  in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence."
"asv","10","16","20","Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give your counsel what we shall do."
"asv","10","16","21","And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, that he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then will the hands of all that are with thee be strong."
"asv","10","16","22","So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel."
"asv","10","16","23","And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom."
"asv","10","17","1","Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:"
"asv","10","17","2","and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;"
"asv","10","17","3","and I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned:  so all the people shall be in peace."
"asv","10","17","4","And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel."
"asv","10","17","5","Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith."
"asv","10","17","6","And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do  after his saying? if not, speak thou."
"asv","10","17","7","And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good."
"asv","10","17","8","Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people."
"asv","10","17","9","Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some  other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them are fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom."
"asv","10","17","10","And even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men."
"asv","10","17","11","But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person."
"asv","10","17","12","So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as one."
"asv","10","17","13","Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there."
"asv","10","17","14","And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Jehovah had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom."
"asv","10","17","15","Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled."
"asv","10","17","16","Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him."
"asv","10","17","17","Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En-rogel; and a maid-servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city."
"asv","10","17","18","But a lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither."
"asv","10","17","19","And the woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and strewed bruised grain thereon; and nothing was known."
"asv","10","17","20","And Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They are gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem."
"asv","10","17","21","And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you."
"asv","10","17","22","Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over the Jordan."
"asv","10","17","23","And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father."
"asv","10","17","24","Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him."
"asv","10","17","25","And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother."
"asv","10","17","26","And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead."
"asv","10","17","27","And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,"
"asv","10","17","28","brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched  grain, and beans, and lentils, and parched pulse,"
"asv","10","17","29","and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people are hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness."
"asv","10","18","1","And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them."
"asv","10","18","2","And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also."
"asv","10","18","3","But the people said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but thou art worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succor us out of the city."
"asv","10","18","4","And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands."
"asv","10","18","5","And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom."
"asv","10","18","6","So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim."
"asv","10","18","7","And the people of Israel were smitten there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men."
"asv","10","18","8","For the battle was there spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured."
"asv","10","18","9","And Absalom chanced to meet the servants of David. And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between heaven and earth; and the mule that was under him went on."
"asv","10","18","10","And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak."
"asv","10","18","11","And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest it, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten  pieces of silver, and a girdle."
"asv","10","18","12","And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom."
"asv","10","18","13","Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me."
"asv","10","18","14","Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak."
"asv","10","18","15","And ten young men that bare Joab’s armor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him."
"asv","10","18","16","And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held back the people."
"asv","10","18","17","And they took Absalom, and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones: and all Israel fled every one to his tent."
"asv","10","18","18","Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the king’s dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom’s monument, unto this day."
"asv","10","18","19","Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that Jehovah hath avenged him of his enemies."
"asv","10","18","20","And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not be the bearer of tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day; but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead."
"asv","10","18","21","Then said Joab to the Cushite, Go, tell the king what thou hast seen. And the Cushite bowed himself unto Joab, and ran."
"asv","10","18","22","Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But come what may, let me, I pray thee, also run after the Cushite. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou wilt have no reward for the tidings?"
"asv","10","18","23","But come what may,  said he, I will run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and outran the Cushite."
"asv","10","18","24","Now David was sitting between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man running alone."
"asv","10","18","25","And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near."
"asv","10","18","26","And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold,  another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings."
"asv","10","18","27","And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings."
"asv","10","18","28","And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king."
"asv","10","18","29","And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, even me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was."
"asv","10","18","30","And the king said, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still."
"asv","10","18","31","And, behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, Tidings for my lord the king; for Jehovah hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee."
"asv","10","18","32","And the king said unto the Cushite, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And the Cushite answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise up against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is."
"asv","10","18","33","And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!"
"asv","10","19","1","And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom."
"asv","10","19","2","And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king grieveth for his son."
"asv","10","19","3","And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle."
"asv","10","19","4","And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!"
"asv","10","19","5","And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, who this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;"
"asv","10","19","6","in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that princes and servants are nought unto thee: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well."
"asv","10","19","7","Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now."
"asv","10","19","8","Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate: and all the people came before the king."
"asv","10","19","9","And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from Absalom."
"asv","10","19","10","And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?"
"asv","10","19","11","And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king,  to bring him to his house."
"asv","10","19","12","Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?"
"asv","10","19","13","And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab."
"asv","10","19","14","And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as  the heart of one man; so that they sent unto the king,  saying, Return thou, and all thy servants."
"asv","10","19","15","So the king returned, and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan."
"asv","10","19","16","And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David."
"asv","10","19","17","And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through the Jordan in the presence of the king."
"asv","10","19","18","And there went over a ferry-boat to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan."
"asv","10","19","19","And he said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart."
"asv","10","19","20","For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."
"asv","10","19","21","But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah’s anointed?"
"asv","10","19","22","And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?"
"asv","10","19","23","And the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him."
"asv","10","19","24","And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace."
"asv","10","19","25","And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?"
"asv","10","19","26","And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame."
"asv","10","19","27","And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes."
"asv","10","19","28","For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the king?"
"asv","10","19","29","And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land."
"asv","10","19","30","And Mephibosheth said unto the king, yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house."
"asv","10","19","31","And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan."
"asv","10","19","32","Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man."
"asv","10","19","33","And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem."
"asv","10","19","34","And Barzillai said unto the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?"
"asv","10","19","35","I am this day fourscore years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?"
"asv","10","19","36","Thy servant would but just go over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?"
"asv","10","19","37","Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee."
"asv","10","19","38","And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee."
"asv","10","19","39","And all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over: and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place."
"asv","10","19","40","So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him: and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel."
"asv","10","19","41","And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?"
"asv","10","19","42","And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?"
"asv","10","19","43","And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more  right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel."
"asv","10","20","1","And there happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel."
"asv","10","20","2","So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem."
"asv","10","20","3","And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and provided them with sustenance, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood."
"asv","10","20","4","Then said the king to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present."
"asv","10","20","5","So Amasa went to call  the men of Judah together; but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him."
"asv","10","20","6","And David said to Abishai, Now will Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities, and escape out of our sight."
"asv","10","20","7","And there went out after him Joab’s men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri."
"asv","10","20","8","When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was girded with his apparel of war that he had put on, and thereon was a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out."
"asv","10","20","9","And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well with thee, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him."
"asv","10","20","10","But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him therewith in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died."
"asv","10","20","11","And there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him follow Joab."
"asv","10","20","12","And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still."
"asv","10","20","13","When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri."
"asv","10","20","14","And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maacah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him."
"asv","10","20","15","And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down."
"asv","10","20","16","Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee."
"asv","10","20","17","And he came near unto her; and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hear."
"asv","10","20","18","Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask  counsel at Abel: and so they ended  the matter."
"asv","10","20","19","I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?"
"asv","10","20","20","And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy."
"asv","10","20","21","The matter is not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall."
"asv","10","20","22","Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king."
"asv","10","20","23","Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;"
"asv","10","20","24","and Adoram was over the men subject to taskwork; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;"
"asv","10","20","25","and Sheva was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;"
"asv","10","20","26","and also Ira the Jairite was chief minister unto David."
"asv","10","21","1","And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites."
"asv","10","21","2","And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);"
"asv","10","21","3","and David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?"
"asv","10","21","4","And the Gibeonites said unto him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you."
"asv","10","21","5","And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us,  that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,"
"asv","10","21","6","let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give them."
"asv","10","21","7","But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul."
"asv","10","21","8","But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bare to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:"
"asv","10","21","9","And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell  all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest."
"asv","10","21","10","And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven; and she suffered neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night."
"asv","10","21","11","And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done."
"asv","10","21","12","And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines slew Saul in Gilboa;"
"asv","10","21","13","and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son: and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged."
"asv","10","21","14","And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land."
"asv","10","21","15","And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David waxed faint;"
"asv","10","21","16","and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred  shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new  sword, thought to have slain David."
"asv","10","21","17","But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel."
"asv","10","21","18","And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the sons of the giant."
"asv","10","21","19","And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam."
"asv","10","21","20","And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant."
"asv","10","21","21","And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, slew him."
"asv","10","21","22","These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants."
"asv","10","22","1","And David spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:"
"asv","10","22","2","and he said,Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;"
"asv","10","22","3","God, my rock, in him will I take refuge;My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge;My saviour, thou savest me from violence."
"asv","10","22","4","I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:So shall I be saved from mine enemies."
"asv","10","22","5","For the waves of death compassed me;The floods of ungodliness made me afraid:"
"asv","10","22","6","The cords of Sheol were round about me;The snares of death came upon me."
"asv","10","22","7","In my distress I called upon Jehovah;Yea, I called unto my God:And he heard my voice out of his temple,And my cry  came into his ears."
"asv","10","22","8","Then the earth shook and trembled,The foundations of heaven quakedAnd were shaken, because he was wroth."
"asv","10","22","9","There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,And fire out of his mouth devoured:Coals were kindled by it."
"asv","10","22","10","He bowed the heavens also, and came down;And thick darkness was under his feet."
"asv","10","22","11","And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly;Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind."
"asv","10","22","12","And he made darkness pavilions round about him,Gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies."
"asv","10","22","13","At the brightness before himCoals of fire were kindled."
"asv","10","22","14","Jehovah thundered from heaven,And the Most High uttered his voice."
"asv","10","22","15","And he sent out arrows, and scattered them;Lightning, and discomfited them."
"asv","10","22","16","Then the channels of the sea appeared,The foundations of the world were laid bare,By the rebuke of Jehovah,At the blast of the breath of his nostrils."
"asv","10","22","17","He sent from on high, he took me;He drew me out of many waters;"
"asv","10","22","18","He delivered me from my strong enemy,From them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me."
"asv","10","22","19","They came upon me in the day of my calamity;But Jehovah was my stay."
"asv","10","22","20","He brought me forth also into a large place;He delivered me, because he delighted in me."
"asv","10","22","21","Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness;According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me."
"asv","10","22","22","For I have kept the ways of Jehovah,And have not wickedly departed from my God."
"asv","10","22","23","For all his ordinances were before me;And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them."
"asv","10","22","24","I was also perfect toward him;And I kept myself from mine iniquity."
"asv","10","22","25","Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness,According to my cleanness in his eyesight."
"asv","10","22","26","With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful;With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;"
"asv","10","22","27","With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure;And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward."
"asv","10","22","28","And the afflicted people thou wilt save;But thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down."
"asv","10","22","29","For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah;And Jehovah will lighten my darkness."
"asv","10","22","30","For by thee I run upon a troop;By my God do I leap over a wall."
"asv","10","22","31","As for God, his way is perfect:The word of Jehovah is tried;He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him."
"asv","10","22","32","For who is God, save Jehovah?And who is a rock, save our God?"
"asv","10","22","33","God is my strong fortress;And he guideth the perfect in his way."
"asv","10","22","34","He maketh his feet like hinds’  feet,And setteth me upon my high places."
"asv","10","22","35","He teacheth my hands to war,So that mine arms do bend a bow of brass."
"asv","10","22","36","Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation;And thy gentleness hath made me great."
"asv","10","22","37","Thou hast enlarged my steps under me;And my feet have not slipped."
"asv","10","22","38","I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them;Neither did I turn again till they were consumed."
"asv","10","22","39","And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise:Yea, they are fallen under my feet."
"asv","10","22","40","For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle;Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me."
"asv","10","22","41","Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me,That I might cut off them that hate me."
"asv","10","22","42","They looked, but there was none to save;Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not."
"asv","10","22","43","Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth,I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad."
"asv","10","22","44","Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people;Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations:A people whom I have not known shall serve me."
"asv","10","22","45","The foreigners shall submit themselves unto me:As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me."
"asv","10","22","46","The foreigners shall fade away,And shall come trembling out of their close places."
"asv","10","22","47","Jehovah liveth; And blessed be my rock;And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,"
"asv","10","22","48","Even the God that executeth vengeance for me,And that bringeth down peoples under me,"
"asv","10","22","49","And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies:Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;Thou deliverest me from the violent man."
"asv","10","22","50","Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations,And will sing praises unto thy name."
"asv","10","22","51","Great deliverance giveth he to his king,And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed,To David and to his seed, for evermore."
"asv","10","23","1","Now these are the last words of David.David the son of Jesse saith,And the man who was raised on high saith,The anointed of the God of Jacob,And the sweet psalmist of Israel:"
"asv","10","23","2","The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me,And his word was upon my tongue."
"asv","10","23","3","The God of Israel said,The Rock of Israel spake to me:One that ruleth over men righteously,That ruleth in the fear of God,"
"asv","10","23","4"," He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,A morning without clouds, When the tender grass  springeth out of the earth,Through clear shining after rain."
"asv","10","23","5","Verily my house is not so with God;Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,Ordered in all things, and sure:For it is all my salvation, and all  my desire,Although he maketh it not to grow."
"asv","10","23","6","But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away,Because they cannot be taken with the hand;"
"asv","10","23","7","But the man that toucheth themMust be armed with iron and the staff of a spear:And they shall be utterly burned with fire in  their place."
"asv","10","23","8","These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time."
"asv","10","23","9","And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away."
"asv","10","23","10","He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil."
"asv","10","23","11","And after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines."
"asv","10","23","12","But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great victory."
"asv","10","23","13","And three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim."
"asv","10","23","14","And David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem."
"asv","10","23","15","And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!"
"asv","10","23","16","And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah."
"asv","10","23","17","And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men."
"asv","10","23","18","And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three."
"asv","10","23","19","Was he not most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the  first three."
"asv","10","23","20","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two  sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow."
"asv","10","23","21","And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear."
"asv","10","23","22","These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men."
"asv","10","23","23","He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard."
"asv","10","23","24","Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,"
"asv","10","23","25","Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,"
"asv","10","23","26","Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,"
"asv","10","23","27","Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,"
"asv","10","23","28","Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,"
"asv","10","23","29","Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,"
"asv","10","23","30","Benaiah a Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash."
"asv","10","23","31","Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,"
"asv","10","23","32","Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,"
"asv","10","23","33","Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite,"
"asv","10","23","34","Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maacathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,"
"asv","10","23","35","Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,"
"asv","10","23","36","Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,"
"asv","10","23","37","Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, armorbearers to Joab the son of Zeruiah,"
"asv","10","23","38","Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,"
"asv","10","23","39","Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all."
"asv","10","24","1","And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah."
"asv","10","24","2","And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the sum of the people."
"asv","10","24","3","And Joab said unto the king, Now Jehovah thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?"
"asv","10","24","4","Notwithstanding, the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel."
"asv","10","24","5","And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the middle of the valley of Gad, and unto Jazer:"
"asv","10","24","6","then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to Dan-jaan, and round about to Sidon,"
"asv","10","24","7","and came to the stronghold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites; and they went out to the south of Judah, at Beer-sheba."
"asv","10","24","8","So when they had gone to and fro through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days."
"asv","10","24","9","And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men."
"asv","10","24","10","And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in that which I have done: but now, O Jehovah, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."
"asv","10","24","11","And when David rose up in the morning, the word of Jehovah came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,"
"asv","10","24","12","Go and speak unto David, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee."
"asv","10","24","13","So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thy foes while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise thee, and consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me."
"asv","10","24","14","And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man."
"asv","10","24","15","So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men."
"asv","10","24","16","And when the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
"asv","10","24","17","And David spake unto Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done perversely; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house."
"asv","10","24","18","And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite."
"asv","10","24","19","And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as Jehovah commanded."
"asv","10","24","20","And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground."
"asv","10","24","21","And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people."
"asv","10","24","22","And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood:"
"asv","10","24","23","all this, O king, doth Araunah give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee."
"asv","10","24","24","And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price. Neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver."
"asv","10","24","25","And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So Jehovah was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel."
"asv","11","1","1","Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat."
"asv","11","1","2","Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and cherish him; and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat."
"asv","11","1","3","So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king."
"asv","11","1","4","And the damsel was very fair; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king knew her not."
"asv","11","1","5","Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him."
"asv","11","1","6","And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom."
"asv","11","1","7","And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him."
"asv","11","1","8","But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men that belonged to David, were not with Adonijah."
"asv","11","1","9","And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brethren, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants:"
"asv","11","1","10","but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not."
"asv","11","1","11","Then Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?"
"asv","11","1","12","Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon."
"asv","11","1","13","Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?"
"asv","11","1","14","Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words."
"asv","11","1","15","And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering unto the king."
"asv","11","1","16","And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?"
"asv","11","1","17","And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by Jehovah thy God unto thy handmaid,  saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne."
"asv","11","1","18","And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and thou, my lord the king, knowest it not:"
"asv","11","1","19","and he hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host; but Solomon thy servant hath he not called."
"asv","11","1","20","And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him."
"asv","11","1","21","Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders."
"asv","11","1","22","And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in."
"asv","11","1","23","And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground."
"asv","11","1","24","And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?"
"asv","11","1","25","For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say,  Long live king Adonijah."
"asv","11","1","26","But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called."
"asv","11","1","27","Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not showed unto thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
"asv","11","1","28","Then king David answered and said, Call to me Bath-sheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king."
"asv","11","1","29","And the king sware, and said, As Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,"
"asv","11","1","30","verily as I sware unto thee by Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; verily so will I do this day."
"asv","11","1","31","Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever."
"asv","11","1","32","And king David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king."
"asv","11","1","33","And the king said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:"
"asv","11","1","34","and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow ye the trumpet, and say,  Long live king Solomon."
"asv","11","1","35","Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah."
"asv","11","1","36","And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so  too."
"asv","11","1","37","As Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David."
"asv","11","1","38","So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon."
"asv","11","1","39","And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said,  Long  live king Solomon."
"asv","11","1","40","And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them."
"asv","11","1","41","And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?"
"asv","11","1","42","While he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for thou art a worthy man, and bringest good tidings."
"asv","11","1","43","And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king:"
"asv","11","1","44","and the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and they have caused him to ride upon the king’s mule;"
"asv","11","1","45","and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon; and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard."
"asv","11","1","46","And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom."
"asv","11","1","47","And moreover the king’s servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne: and the king bowed himself upon the bed."
"asv","11","1","48","And also thus said the king, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it."
"asv","11","1","49","And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way."
"asv","11","1","50","And Adonijah feared because of Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar."
"asv","11","1","51","And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon; for, lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword."
"asv","11","1","52","And Solomon said, If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth; but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die."
"asv","11","1","53","So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to king Solomon; and Solomon said unto him, Go to thy house."
"asv","11","2","1","Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,"
"asv","11","2","2","I am going the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;"
"asv","11","2","3","and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes,  and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself."
"asv","11","2","4","That Jehovah may establish his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel."
"asv","11","2","5","Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet."
"asv","11","2","6","Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace."
"asv","11","2","7","But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother."
"asv","11","2","8","And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I sware to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword."
"asv","11","2","9","Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for thou art a wise man; and thou wilt know what thou oughtest to do unto him, and thou shalt bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood."
"asv","11","2","10","And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David."
"asv","11","2","11","And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem."
"asv","11","2","12","And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly."
"asv","11","2","13","Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably."
"asv","11","2","14","He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on."
"asv","11","2","15","And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s; for it was his from Jehovah."
"asv","11","2","16","And now I ask one petition of thee; deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on."
"asv","11","2","17","And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king (for he will not say thee nay), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife."
"asv","11","2","18","And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king."
"asv","11","2","19","Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand."
"asv","11","2","20","Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee."
"asv","11","2","21","And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife."
"asv","11","2","22","And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."
"asv","11","2","23","Then king Solomon sware by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life."
"asv","11","2","24","Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day."
"asv","11","2","25","And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died."
"asv","11","2","26","And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted."
"asv","11","2","27","So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Jehovah, that he might fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh."
"asv","11","2","28","And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar."
"asv","11","2","29","And it was told king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him."
"asv","11","2","30","And Benaiah came to the Tent of Jehovah, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me."
"asv","11","2","31","And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house."
"asv","11","2","32","And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not,  to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah."
"asv","11","2","33","So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah."
"asv","11","2","34","Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness."
"asv","11","2","35","And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar."
"asv","11","2","36","And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither."
"asv","11","2","37","For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head."
"asv","11","2","38","And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days."
"asv","11","2","39","And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath."
"asv","11","2","40","And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath."
"asv","11","2","41","And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again."
"asv","11","2","42","And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good."
"asv","11","2","43","Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?"
"asv","11","2","44","The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore Jehovah shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head."
"asv","11","2","45","But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever."
"asv","11","2","46","So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell upon him, so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon."
"asv","11","3","1","And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about."
"asv","11","3","2","Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Jehovah until those days."
"asv","11","3","3","And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places."
"asv","11","3","4","And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar."
"asv","11","3","5","In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee."
"asv","11","3","6","And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great lovingkindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great lovingkindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day."
"asv","11","3","7","And now, O Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in."
"asv","11","3","8","And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude."
"asv","11","3","9","Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this thy great people?"
"asv","11","3","10","And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing."
"asv","11","3","11","And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern justice;"
"asv","11","3","12","behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee."
"asv","11","3","13","And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee, all thy days."
"asv","11","3","14","And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days."
"asv","11","3","15","And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants."
"asv","11","3","16","Then there came two women that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him."
"asv","11","3","17","And the one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house."
"asv","11","3","18","And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house."
"asv","11","3","19","And this woman’s child died in the night, because she lay upon it."
"asv","11","3","20","And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom."
"asv","11","3","21","And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear."
"asv","11","3","22","And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king."
"asv","11","3","23","Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living."
"asv","11","3","24","And the king said, Fetch me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king."
"asv","11","3","25","And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
"asv","11","3","26","Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it."
"asv","11","3","27","Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof."
"asv","11","3","28","And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice."
"asv","11","4","1","And king Solomon was king over all Israel."
"asv","11","4","2","And these were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;"
"asv","11","4","3","Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;"
"asv","11","4","4","and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;"
"asv","11","4","5","and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister,  and the king’s friend;"
"asv","11","4","6","and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to taskwork."
"asv","11","4","7","And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year."
"asv","11","4","8","And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim;"
"asv","11","4","9","Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;"
"asv","11","4","10","Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (to him  pertained Socoh, and all the land of Hepher);"
"asv","11","4","11","Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife);"
"asv","11","4","12","Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;"
"asv","11","4","13","Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (to him  pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead;  even to him pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars);"
"asv","11","4","14","Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;"
"asv","11","4","15","Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon to wife);"
"asv","11","4","16","Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;"
"asv","11","4","17","Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;"
"asv","11","4","18","Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;"
"asv","11","4","19","Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and  he was the only officer that was in the land."
"asv","11","4","20","Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry."
"asv","11","4","21","And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life."
"asv","11","4","22","And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,"
"asv","11","4","23","ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl."
"asv","11","4","24","For he had dominion over all  the region on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides round about him."
"asv","11","4","25","And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon."
"asv","11","4","26","And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen."
"asv","11","4","27","And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon’s table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking."
"asv","11","4","28","Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where  the officers were, every man according to his charge."
"asv","11","4","29","And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore."
"asv","11","4","30","And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt."
"asv","11","4","31","For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations round about."
"asv","11","4","32","And he spake three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five."
"asv","11","4","33","And he spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spake also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes."
"asv","11","4","34","And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom."
"asv","11","5","1","And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David."
"asv","11","5","2","And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,"
"asv","11","5","3","Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet."
"asv","11","5","4","But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence."
"asv","11","5","5","And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for my name."
"asv","11","5","6","Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians."
"asv","11","5","7","And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over this great people."
"asv","11","5","8","And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard  the message  which thou hast sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir."
"asv","11","5","9","My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
"asv","11","5","10","So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire."
"asv","11","5","11","And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year."
"asv","11","5","12","And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together."
"asv","11","5","13","And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men."
"asv","11","5","14","And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to taskwork."
"asv","11","5","15","And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;"
"asv","11","5","16","besides Solomon’s chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work."
"asv","11","5","17","And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone."
"asv","11","5","18","And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house."
"asv","11","6","1","And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah."
"asv","11","6","2","And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty  cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits."
"asv","11","6","3","And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house;  and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house."
"asv","11","6","4","And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work."
"asv","11","6","5","And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about."
"asv","11","6","6","The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets  in the wall of the house round about, that  the beams  should not have hold in the walls of the house."
"asv","11","6","7","And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building."
"asv","11","6","8","The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle  story, and out of the middle into the third."
"asv","11","6","9","So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar."
"asv","11","6","10","And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar."
"asv","11","6","11","And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying,"
"asv","11","6","12","Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father."
"asv","11","6","13","And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."
"asv","11","6","14","So Solomon built the house, and finished it."
"asv","11","6","15","And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir."
"asv","11","6","16","And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls  of the ceiling: he built them for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place."
"asv","11","6","17","And the house, that is, the temple before  the oracle, was forty cubits  long."
"asv","11","6","18","And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen."
"asv","11","6","19","And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah."
"asv","11","6","20","And within the oracle was  a space of twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar."
"asv","11","6","21","So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold."
"asv","11","6","22","And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold."
"asv","11","6","23","And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high."
"asv","11","6","24","And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits."
"asv","11","6","25","And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form."
"asv","11","6","26","The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub."
"asv","11","6","27","And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house."
"asv","11","6","28","And he overlaid the cherubim with gold."
"asv","11","6","29","And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without."
"asv","11","6","30","And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without."
"asv","11","6","31","And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel  and door-posts were a fifth part  of the wall."
"asv","11","6","32","So  he made two doors of olive-wood; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees."
"asv","11","6","33","So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part  of the wall;"
"asv","11","6","34","and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding."
"asv","11","6","35","And he carved  thereon cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work."
"asv","11","6","36","And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams."
"asv","11","6","37","In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Ziv."
"asv","11","6","38","And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it."
"asv","11","7","1","And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house."
"asv","11","7","2","For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars."
"asv","11","7","3","And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row."
"asv","11","7","4","And there were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks."
"asv","11","7","5","And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks."
"asv","11","7","6","And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them."
"asv","11","7","7","And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor."
"asv","11","7","8","And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh’s daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch."
"asv","11","7","9","All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court."
"asv","11","7","10","And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits."
"asv","11","7","11","And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood."
"asv","11","7","12","And the great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house."
"asv","11","7","13","And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre."
"asv","11","7","14","He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work."
"asv","11","7","15","For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about."
"asv","11","7","16","And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits."
"asv","11","7","17","There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital."
"asv","11","7","18","So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital."
"asv","11","7","19","And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits."
"asv","11","7","20","And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other capital."
"asv","11","7","21","And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz."
"asv","11","7","22","And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished."
"asv","11","7","23","And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about."
"asv","11","7","24","And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast."
"asv","11","7","25","It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward."
"asv","11","7","26","And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths."
"asv","11","7","27","And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it."
"asv","11","7","28","And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;"
"asv","11","7","29","and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work."
"asv","11","7","30","And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each."
"asv","11","7","31","And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round."
"asv","11","7","32","And the four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit."
"asv","11","7","33","And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten."
"asv","11","7","34","And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself."
"asv","11","7","35","And in the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same."
"asv","11","7","36","And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about."
"asv","11","7","37","After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form."
"asv","11","7","38","And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten bases one laver."
"asv","11","7","39","And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south."
"asv","11","7","40","And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:"
"asv","11","7","41","the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;"
"asv","11","7","42","and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;"
"asv","11","7","43","and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;"
"asv","11","7","44","and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;"
"asv","11","7","45","and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of burnished brass."
"asv","11","7","46","In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan."
"asv","11","7","47","And Solomon left all the vessels  unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out."
"asv","11","7","48","And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;"
"asv","11","7","49","and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;"
"asv","11","7","50","and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house,  to wit, of the temple, of gold."
"asv","11","7","51","Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated,  even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","11","8","1","Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’  houses of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion."
"asv","11","8","2","And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month."
"asv","11","8","3","And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark."
"asv","11","8","4","And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up."
"asv","11","8","5","And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude."
"asv","11","8","6","And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim."
"asv","11","8","7","For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above."
"asv","11","8","8","And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day."
"asv","11","8","9","There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","11","8","10","And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,"
"asv","11","8","11","so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah."
"asv","11","8","12","Then spake Solomon, Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness."
"asv","11","8","13","I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in for ever."
"asv","11","8","14","And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood."
"asv","11","8","15","And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David thy father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,"
"asv","11","8","16","Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel."
"asv","11","8","17","Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","11","8","18","But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:"
"asv","11","8","19","nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name."
"asv","11","8","20","And Jehovah hath established his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","11","8","21","And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","11","8","22","And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;"
"asv","11","8","23","and he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keepest covenant and lovingkindness with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart;"
"asv","11","8","24","who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day."
"asv","11","8","25","Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me."
"asv","11","8","26","Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father."
"asv","11","8","27","But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded!"
"asv","11","8","28","Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;"
"asv","11","8","29","that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou hast said, My name shall be there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place."
"asv","11","8","30","And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive."
"asv","11","8","31","If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come  and swear before thine altar in this house;"
"asv","11","8","32","then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness."
"asv","11","8","33","When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication unto thee in this house:"
"asv","11","8","34","then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers."
"asv","11","8","35","When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:"
"asv","11","8","36","then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance."
"asv","11","8","37","If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting  or mildew, locust  or caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;"
"asv","11","8","38","what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man,  or  by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:"
"asv","11","8","39","then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)"
"asv","11","8","40","that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers."
"asv","11","8","41","Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake"
"asv","11","8","42","(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;"
"asv","11","8","43","hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name."
"asv","11","8","44","If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto Jehovah toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name;"
"asv","11","8","45","then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause."
"asv","11","8","46","If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, far off or near;"
"asv","11","8","47","yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly;"
"asv","11","8","48","if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:"
"asv","11","8","49","then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause;"
"asv","11","8","50","and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them"
"asv","11","8","51","(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);"
"asv","11","8","52","that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto thee."
"asv","11","8","53","For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah."
"asv","11","8","54","And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven."
"asv","11","8","55","And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,"
"asv","11","8","56","Blessed be Jehovah, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant."
"asv","11","8","57","Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us;"
"asv","11","8","58","that he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers."
"asv","11","8","59","And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh unto Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;"
"asv","11","8","60","that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else."
"asv","11","8","61","Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."
"asv","11","8","62","And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah."
"asv","11","8","63","And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered unto Jehovah, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah."
"asv","11","8","64","The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings."
"asv","11","8","65","So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days."
"asv","11","8","66","On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had showed unto David his servant, and to Israel his people."
"asv","11","9","1","And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,"
"asv","11","9","2","that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon."
"asv","11","9","3","And Jehovah said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually."
"asv","11","9","4","And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;"
"asv","11","9","5","then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, according as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel."
"asv","11","9","6","But if ye shall turn away from following me, ye or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;"
"asv","11","9","7","then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples."
"asv","11","9","8","And though this house is so high, yet shall every one that passeth by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to this house?"
"asv","11","9","9","and they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath Jehovah brought all this evil upon them."
"asv","11","9","10","And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king’s house"
"asv","11","9","11","(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee."
"asv","11","9","12","And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not."
"asv","11","9","13","And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day."
"asv","11","9","14","And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold."
"asv","11","9","15","And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer."
"asv","11","9","16","Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a portion unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife."
"asv","11","9","17","And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,"
"asv","11","9","18","and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,"
"asv","11","9","19","and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion."
"asv","11","9","20","As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;"
"asv","11","9","21","their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day."
"asv","11","9","22","But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen."
"asv","11","9","23","These were the chief officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work."
"asv","11","9","24","But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which  Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo."
"asv","11","9","25","And three times a year did Solomon offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he built unto Jehovah, burning incense therewith,  upon the altar that was before Jehovah. So he finished the house."
"asv","11","9","26","And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom."
"asv","11","9","27","And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon."
"asv","11","9","28","And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon."
"asv","11","10","1","And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, she came to prove him with hard questions."
"asv","11","10","2","And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart."
"asv","11","10","3","And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not."
"asv","11","10","4","And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,"
"asv","11","10","5","and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her."
"asv","11","10","6","And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom."
"asv","11","10","7","Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard."
"asv","11","10","8","Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee,  and that hear thy wisdom."
"asv","11","10","9","Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do justice and righteousness."
"asv","11","10","10","And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon."
"asv","11","10","11","And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug-trees and precious stones."
"asv","11","10","12","And the king made of the almug-trees pillars for the house of Jehovah, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor were seen, unto this day."
"asv","11","10","13","And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants."
"asv","11","10","14","Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,"
"asv","11","10","15","besides  that which the traders  brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mingled people, and of the governors of the country."
"asv","11","10","16","And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler."
"asv","11","10","17","And  he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon."
"asv","11","10","18","Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold."
"asv","11","10","19","There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays."
"asv","11","10","20","And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom."
"asv","11","10","21","And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon."
"asv","11","10","22","For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."
"asv","11","10","23","So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom."
"asv","11","10","24","And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart."
"asv","11","10","25","And they brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year."
"asv","11","10","26","And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem."
"asv","11","10","27","And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance."
"asv","11","10","28","And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price."
"asv","11","10","29","And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred  shekels  of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means."
"asv","11","11","1","Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;"
"asv","11","11","2","of the nations concerning which Jehovah said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love."
"asv","11","11","3","And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart."
"asv","11","11","4","For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father."
"asv","11","11","5","For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites."
"asv","11","11","6","And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and went not fully after Jehovah, as did David his father."
"asv","11","11","7","Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon."
"asv","11","11","8","And so did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods."
"asv","11","11","9","And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,"
"asv","11","11","10","and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which Jehovah commanded."
"asv","11","11","11","Wherefore Jehovah said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant."
"asv","11","11","12","Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son."
"asv","11","11","13","Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen."
"asv","11","11","14","And Jehovah raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom."
"asv","11","11","15","For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom"
"asv","11","11","16","(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);"
"asv","11","11","17","that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child."
"asv","11","11","18","And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land."
"asv","11","11","19","And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen."
"asv","11","11","20","And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh."
"asv","11","11","21","And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country."
"asv","11","11","22","Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit only let me depart."
"asv","11","11","23","And God raised up  another adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah."
"asv","11","11","24","And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them  of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus."
"asv","11","11","25","And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad  did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria."
"asv","11","11","26","And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king."
"asv","11","11","27","And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father."
"asv","11","11","28","And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph."
"asv","11","11","29","And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now  Ahijah  had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field."
"asv","11","11","30","And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces."
"asv","11","11","31","And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee"
"asv","11","11","32","(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel);"
"asv","11","11","33","because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and  to keep my statutes and mine ordinances, as did David his father."
"asv","11","11","34","Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;"
"asv","11","11","35","but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes."
"asv","11","11","36","And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there."
"asv","11","11","37","And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel."
"asv","11","11","38","And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee."
"asv","11","11","39","And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever."
"asv","11","11","40","Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon."
"asv","11","11","41","Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?"
"asv","11","11","42","And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years."
"asv","11","11","43","And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","12","1","And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king."
"asv","11","12","2","And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,"
"asv","11","12","3","and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,"
"asv","11","12","4","Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee."
"asv","11","12","5","And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed."
"asv","11","12","6","And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?"
"asv","11","12","7","And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever."
"asv","11","12","8","But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him."
"asv","11","12","9","And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?"
"asv","11","12","10","And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins."
"asv","11","12","11","And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
"asv","11","12","12","So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day."
"asv","11","12","13","And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,"
"asv","11","12","14","and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
"asv","11","12","15","So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Jehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
"asv","11","12","16","And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents."
"asv","11","12","17","But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them."
"asv","11","12","18","Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem."
"asv","11","12","19","So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day."
"asv","11","12","20","And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only."
"asv","11","12","21","And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon."
"asv","11","12","22","But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,"
"asv","11","12","23","Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,"
"asv","11","12","24","Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of Jehovah, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Jehovah."
"asv","11","12","25","Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel."
"asv","11","12","26","And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now will the kingdom return to the house of David:"
"asv","11","12","27","if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah."
"asv","11","12","28","Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","11","12","29","And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan."
"asv","11","12","30","And this thing became a sin; for the people went  to worship  before the one, even unto Dan."
"asv","11","12","31","And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi."
"asv","11","12","32","And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made."
"asv","11","12","33","And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to burn incense."
"asv","11","13","1","And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense."
"asv","11","13","2","And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall they burn upon thee."
"asv","11","13","3","And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Jehovah hath spoken: Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out."
"asv","11","13","4","And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him."
"asv","11","13","5","The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah."
"asv","11","13","6","And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before."
"asv","11","13","7","And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward."
"asv","11","13","8","And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;"
"asv","11","13","9","for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest."
"asv","11","13","10","So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el."
"asv","11","13","11","Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father."
"asv","11","13","12","And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, that came from Judah."
"asv","11","13","13","And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon."
"asv","11","13","14","And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am."
"asv","11","13","15","Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread."
"asv","11","13","16","And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:"
"asv","11","13","17","for it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest."
"asv","11","13","18","And he said unto him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water.  But he lied unto him."
"asv","11","13","19","So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water."
"asv","11","13","20","And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came unto the prophet that brought him back;"
"asv","11","13","21","and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the commandment which Jehovah thy God commanded thee,"
"asv","11","13","22","but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy body shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers."
"asv","11","13","23","And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass,  to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back."
"asv","11","13","24","And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the body."
"asv","11","13","25","And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt."
"asv","11","13","26","And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah: therefore Jehovah hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake unto him."
"asv","11","13","27","And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled it."
"asv","11","13","28","And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the ass."
"asv","11","13","29","And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him."
"asv","11","13","30","And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!"
"asv","11","13","31","And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones."
"asv","11","13","32","For the saying which he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass."
"asv","11","13","33","After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places."
"asv","11","13","34","And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth."
"asv","11","14","1","At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick."
"asv","11","14","2","And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spake concerning me that I should be king over this people."
"asv","11","14","3","And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the child."
"asv","11","14","4","And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age."
"asv","11","14","5","And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to inquire of thee concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it will be, when she cometh in, that she will feign herself to be another woman."
"asv","11","14","6","And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings."
"asv","11","14","7","Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,"
"asv","11","14","8","and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes,"
"asv","11","14","9","but hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:"
"asv","11","14","10","therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung, till it be all gone."
"asv","11","14","11","Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat: for Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","11","14","12","Arise thou therefore, get thee to thy house:  and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die."
"asv","11","14","13","And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam."
"asv","11","14","14","Moreover Jehovah will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now."
"asv","11","14","15","For Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Jehovah to anger."
"asv","11","14","16","And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin."
"asv","11","14","17","And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah:  and  as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died."
"asv","11","14","18","And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the prophet."
"asv","11","14","19","And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."
"asv","11","14","20","And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","14","21","And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess."
"asv","11","14","22","And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done."
"asv","11","14","23","For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;"
"asv","11","14","24","and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the children of Israel."
"asv","11","14","25","And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;"
"asv","11","14","26","and he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made."
"asv","11","14","27","And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house."
"asv","11","14","28","And it was so, that, as oft as the king went into the house of Jehovah, the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber."
"asv","11","14","29","Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","11","14","30","And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually."
"asv","11","14","31","And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","15","1","Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah."
"asv","11","15","2","Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom."
"asv","11","15","3","And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father."
"asv","11","15","4","Nevertheless for David’s sake did Jehovah his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem;"
"asv","11","15","5","because David did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite."
"asv","11","15","6","Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life."
"asv","11","15","7","And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam."
"asv","11","15","8","And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","15","9","And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Asa to reign over Judah."
"asv","11","15","10","And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom."
"asv","11","15","11","And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father."
"asv","11","15","12","And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made."
"asv","11","15","13","And also Maacah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and burnt it at the brook Kidron."
"asv","11","15","14","But the high places were not taken away: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Jehovah all his days."
"asv","11","15","15","And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels."
"asv","11","15","16","And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days."
"asv","11","15","17","And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah."
"asv","11","15","18","Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,"
"asv","11","15","19"," There is a league between me and thee, between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
"asv","11","15","20","And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali."
"asv","11","15","21","And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah."
"asv","11","15","22","Then king Asa made a proclamation unto all Judah; none was exempted: and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built therewith Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah."
"asv","11","15","23","Now the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet."
"asv","11","15","24","And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","15","25","And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years."
"asv","11","15","26","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"asv","11","15","27","And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon."
"asv","11","15","28","Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","15","29","And it came to pass that, as soon as he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam: he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him; according unto the saying of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite;"
"asv","11","15","30","for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation wherewith he provoked Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger."
"asv","11","15","31","Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","11","15","32","And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days."
"asv","11","15","33","In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah,  and reigned twenty and four years."
"asv","11","15","34","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"asv","11","16","1","And the word of Jehovah came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,"
"asv","11","16","2","Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;"
"asv","11","16","3","behold, I will utterly sweep away Baasha and his house; and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
"asv","11","16","4","Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat."
"asv","11","16","5","Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","11","16","6","And Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah; and Elah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","16","7","And moreover by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of Jehovah against Baasha, and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he smote him."
"asv","11","16","8","In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah,  and reigned two years."
"asv","11","16","9","And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah:"
"asv","11","16","10","and Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","16","11","And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he smote all the house of Baasha: he left him not a single man-child, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends."
"asv","11","16","12","Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,"
"asv","11","16","13","for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned, and wherewith they made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities."
"asv","11","16","14","Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","11","16","15","In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines."
"asv","11","16","16","And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also smitten the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp."
"asv","11","16","17","And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah."
"asv","11","16","18","And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the castle of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,"
"asv","11","16","19","for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin."
"asv","11","16","20","Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","11","16","21","Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri."
"asv","11","16","22","But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned."
"asv","11","16","23","In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel,  and reigned twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah."
"asv","11","16","24","And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria."
"asv","11","16","25","And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him."
"asv","11","16","26","For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities."
"asv","11","16","27","Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","11","16","28","So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","16","29","And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years."
"asv","11","16","30","And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah above all that were before him."
"asv","11","16","31","And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him."
"asv","11","16","32","And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria."
"asv","11","16","33","And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him."
"asv","11","16","34","In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof with the loss of Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates thereof with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun."
"asv","11","17","1","And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."
"asv","11","17","2","And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,"
"asv","11","17","3","Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan."
"asv","11","17","4","And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there."
"asv","11","17","5","So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan."
"asv","11","17","6","And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook."
"asv","11","17","7","And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land."
"asv","11","17","8","And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,"
"asv","11","17","9","Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee."
"asv","11","17","10","So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink."
"asv","11","17","11","And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand."
"asv","11","17","12","And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
"asv","11","17","13","And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son."
"asv","11","17","14","For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the earth."
"asv","11","17","15","And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat  many days."
"asv","11","17","16","The jar of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Elijah."
"asv","11","17","17","And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him."
"asv","11","17","18","And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? thou art come unto me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!"
"asv","11","17","19","And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed."
"asv","11","17","20","And he cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?"
"asv","11","17","21","And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again."
"asv","11","17","22","And Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived."
"asv","11","17","23","And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth."
"asv","11","17","24","And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth."
"asv","11","18","1","And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth."
"asv","11","18","2","And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria."
"asv","11","18","3","And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly:"
"asv","11","18","4","for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)"
"asv","11","18","5","And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts."
"asv","11","18","6","So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself."
"asv","11","18","7","And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it thou, my lord Elijah?"
"asv","11","18","8","And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here."
"asv","11","18","9","And he said, Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?"
"asv","11","18","10","As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not."
"asv","11","18","11","And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah  is here."
"asv","11","18","12","And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me: but I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth."
"asv","11","18","13","Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah’s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?"
"asv","11","18","14","And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah  is here; and he will slay me."
"asv","11","18","15","And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day."
"asv","11","18","16","So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah."
"asv","11","18","17","And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?"
"asv","11","18","18","And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baalim."
"asv","11","18","19","Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel’s table."
"asv","11","18","20","So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel."
"asv","11","18","21","And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long go ye limping between the two sides? if Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word."
"asv","11","18","22","Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Jehovah; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men."
"asv","11","18","23","Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under."
"asv","11","18","24","And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken."
"asv","11","18","25","And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under."
"asv","11","18","26","And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made."
"asv","11","18","27","And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked."
"asv","11","18","28","And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them."
"asv","11","18","29","And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the  evening oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded."
"asv","11","18","30","And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down."
"asv","11","18","31","And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be thy name."
"asv","11","18","32","And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed."
"asv","11","18","33","And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood."
"asv","11","18","34","And he said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time."
"asv","11","18","35","And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water."
"asv","11","18","36","And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the  evening  oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word."
"asv","11","18","37","Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this people may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, and  that thou hast turned their heart back again."
"asv","11","18","38","Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench."
"asv","11","18","39","And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Jehovah, he is God; Jehovah, he is God."
"asv","11","18","40","and Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there."
"asv","11","18","41","And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."
"asv","11","18","42","So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees."
"asv","11","18","43","And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times."
"asv","11","18","44","And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready  thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not."
"asv","11","18","45","And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:"
"asv","11","18","46","and the hand of Jehovah was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel."
"asv","11","19","1","And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword."
"asv","11","19","2","Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time."
"asv","11","19","3","And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there."
"asv","11","19","4","But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."
"asv","11","19","5","And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat."
"asv","11","19","6","And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again."
"asv","11","19","7","And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee."
"asv","11","19","8","And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God."
"asv","11","19","9","And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?"
"asv","11","19","10","And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
"asv","11","19","11","And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake:"
"asv","11","19","12","and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."
"asv","11","19","13","And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?"
"asv","11","19","14","And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
"asv","11","19","15","And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;"
"asv","11","19","16","and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room."
"asv","11","19","17","And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay."
"asv","11","19","18","Yet will I leave  me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him."
"asv","11","19","19","So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke  of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him."
"asv","11","19","20","And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?"
"asv","11","19","21","And he returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him."
"asv","11","20","1","And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together; and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it."
"asv","11","20","2","And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,"
"asv","11","20","3","Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine."
"asv","11","20","4","And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king; I am thine, and all that I have."
"asv","11","20","5","And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, I sent indeed unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;"
"asv","11","20","6","but I will send my servants unto thee to-morrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away."
"asv","11","20","7","Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not."
"asv","11","20","8","And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken thou not, neither consent."
"asv","11","20","9","Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again."
"asv","11","20","10","And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me."
"asv","11","20","11","And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on  his armor boast himself as he that putteth it off."
"asv","11","20","12","And it came to pass, when  Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set  yourselves in array. And they set  themselves in array against the city."
"asv","11","20","13","And, behold, a prophet came near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","11","20","14","And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, Thou."
"asv","11","20","15","Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two: and after them he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand."
"asv","11","20","16","And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him."
"asv","11","20","17","And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out from Samaria."
"asv","11","20","18","And he said, Whether they are come out for peace, take them alive, or whether they are come out for war, take them alive."
"asv","11","20","19","So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them."
"asv","11","20","20","And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen."
"asv","11","20","21","And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter."
"asv","11","20","22","And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee."
"asv","11","20","23","And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we: but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they."
"asv","11","20","24","And do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their room;"
"asv","11","20","25","and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so."
"asv","11","20","26","And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel."
"asv","11","20","27","And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country."
"asv","11","20","28","And a man of God came near and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys; therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","11","20","29","And they encamped one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day."
"asv","11","20","30","But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber."
"asv","11","20","31","And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life."
"asv","11","20","32","So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and  put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother."
"asv","11","20","33","Now the men observed diligently, and hasted to catch whether it were his mind; and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot."
"asv","11","20","34","And  Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I,  said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go."
"asv","11","20","35","And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him."
"asv","11","20","36","Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him."
"asv","11","20","37","Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding him."
"asv","11","20","38","So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes."
"asv","11","20","39","And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver."
"asv","11","20","40","And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it."
"asv","11","20","41","And he hasted, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of israel discerned him that he was of the prophets."
"asv","11","20","42","And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people."
"asv","11","20","43","And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria."
"asv","11","21","1","And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria."
"asv","11","21","2","And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money."
"asv","11","21","3","And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee."
"asv","11","21","4","And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread."
"asv","11","21","5","But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?"
"asv","11","21","6","And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee  another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard."
"asv","11","21","7","And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
"asv","11","21","8","So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth."
"asv","11","21","9","And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:"
"asv","11","21","10","and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death."
"asv","11","21","11","And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them."
"asv","11","21","12","They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people."
"asv","11","21","13","And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones."
"asv","11","21","14","Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead."
"asv","11","21","15","And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead."
"asv","11","21","16","And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it."
"asv","11","21","17","And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,"
"asv","11","21","18","Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it."
"asv","11","21","19","And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou killed and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine."
"asv","11","21","20","And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee, because thou hast sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah."
"asv","11","21","21","Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel:"
"asv","11","21","22","and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin."
"asv","11","21","23","And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel."
"asv","11","21","24","Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat."
"asv","11","21","25","(But there was none like unto Ahab, who did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up."
"asv","11","21","26","And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.)"
"asv","11","21","27","And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly."
"asv","11","21","28","And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,"
"asv","11","21","29","Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house."
"asv","11","22","1","And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel."
"asv","11","22","2","And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel."
"asv","11","22","3","And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we are still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?"
"asv","11","22","4","And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses."
"asv","11","22","5","And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray thee, for the word of Jehovah."
"asv","11","22","6","Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king."
"asv","11","22","7","But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we may inquire of him?"
"asv","11","22","8","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so."
"asv","11","22","9","Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah."
"asv","11","22","10","Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them."
"asv","11","22","11","And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until they be consumed."
"asv","11","22","12","And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king."
"asv","11","22","13","And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets  declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak thou good."
"asv","11","22","14","And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, what Jehovah saith unto me, that will I speak."
"asv","11","22","15","And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up and prosper; and Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king."
"asv","11","22","16","And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Jehovah?"
"asv","11","22","17","And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Jehovah said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace."
"asv","11","22","18","And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"
"asv","11","22","19","And  Micaiah said, Therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left."
"asv","11","22","20","And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner."
"asv","11","22","21","And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him."
"asv","11","22","22","And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do so."
"asv","11","22","23","Now therefore, behold, Jehovah hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; and Jehovah hath spoken evil concerning thee."
"asv","11","22","24","Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak unto thee?"
"asv","11","22","25","And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself."
"asv","11","22","26","And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;"
"asv","11","22","27","and say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace."
"asv","11","22","28","And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you."
"asv","11","22","29","So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead."
"asv","11","22","30","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle."
"asv","11","22","31","Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty and two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel."
"asv","11","22","32","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel; and they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out."
"asv","11","22","33","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him."
"asv","11","22","34","And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded."
"asv","11","22","35","And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot."
"asv","11","22","36","And there went a cry throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his country."
"asv","11","22","37","So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria."
"asv","11","22","38","And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the harlots washed themselves  there); according unto the word of Jehovah which he spake."
"asv","11","22","39","Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","11","22","40","So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","22","41","And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel."
"asv","11","22","42","Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
"asv","11","22","43","And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; He turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah: howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places."
"asv","11","22","44","And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel."
"asv","11","22","45","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","11","22","46","And the remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land."
"asv","11","22","47","And there was no king in Edom: a deputy was king."
"asv","11","22","48","Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber."
"asv","11","22","49","Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not."
"asv","11","22","50","And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","11","22","51","Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel."
"asv","11","22","52","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherein he made Israel to sin."
"asv","11","22","53","And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done."
"asv","12","1","1","And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab."
"asv","12","1","2","And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness."
"asv","12","1","3","But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?"
"asv","12","1","4","Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed."
"asv","12","1","5","And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them, Why is it that ye are returned?"
"asv","12","1","6","And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die."
"asv","12","1","7","And he said unto them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
"asv","12","1","8","And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite."
"asv","12","1","9","Then  the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spake unto him, O man of God, the king hath said, Come down."
"asv","12","1","10","And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty."
"asv","12","1","11","And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly."
"asv","12","1","12","And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty."
"asv","12","1","13","And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight."
"asv","12","1","14","Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight."
"asv","12","1","15","And the angel of Jehovah said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king."
"asv","12","1","16","And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die."
"asv","12","1","17","So he died according to the word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son."
"asv","12","1","18","Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","12","2","1","And it came to pass, when Jehovah would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal."
"asv","12","2","2","And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el."
"asv","12","2","3","And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace."
"asv","12","2","4","And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho."
"asv","12","2","5","And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will take away thy master from thy head to-day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace."
"asv","12","2","6","And Elijah said unto him, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on."
"asv","12","2","7","And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan."
"asv","12","2","8","And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground."
"asv","12","2","9","And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me."
"asv","12","2","10","And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing:  nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so."
"asv","12","2","11","And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
"asv","12","2","12","And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!"
"asv","12","2","13","He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan."
"asv","12","2","14","And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither; and Elisha went over."
"asv","12","2","15","And when the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him."
"asv","12","2","16","And they said unto him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send."
"asv","12","2","17","And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not."
"asv","12","2","18","And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?"
"asv","12","2","19","And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth."
"asv","12","2","20","And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him."
"asv","12","2","21","And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying."
"asv","12","2","22","So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spake."
"asv","12","2","23","And he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead."
"asv","12","2","24","And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Jehovah. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two lads of them."
"asv","12","2","25","And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria."
"asv","12","3","1","Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years."
"asv","12","3","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made."
"asv","12","3","3","Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom."
"asv","12","3","4","Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams."
"asv","12","3","5","But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel."
"asv","12","3","6","And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel."
"asv","12","3","7","And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses."
"asv","12","3","8","And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom."
"asv","12","3","9","So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them."
"asv","12","3","10","And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
"asv","12","3","11","But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
"asv","12","3","12","And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him."
"asv","12","3","13","And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
"asv","12","3","14","And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee."
"asv","12","3","15","But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him."
"asv","12","3","16","And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches."
"asv","12","3","17","For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts."
"asv","12","3","18","And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand."
"asv","12","3","19","And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones."
"asv","12","3","20","And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water."
"asv","12","3","21","Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border."
"asv","12","3","22","And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:"
"asv","12","3","23","and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
"asv","12","3","24","And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites."
"asv","12","3","25","And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth  only  they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it."
"asv","12","3","26","And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not."
"asv","12","3","27","Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land."
"asv","12","4","1","Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen."
"asv","12","4","2","And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil."
"asv","12","4","3","Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few."
"asv","12","4","4","And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full."
"asv","12","4","5","So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought  the vessels to her, and she poured out."
"asv","12","4","6","And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed."
"asv","12","4","7","Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest."
"asv","12","4","8","And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread."
"asv","12","4","9","And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually."
"asv","12","4","10","Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither."
"asv","12","4","11","And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there."
"asv","12","4","12","And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him."
"asv","12","4","13","And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people."
"asv","12","4","14","And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old."
"asv","12","4","15","And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door."
"asv","12","4","16","And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid."
"asv","12","4","17","And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her."
"asv","12","4","18","And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers."
"asv","12","4","19","And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother."
"asv","12","4","20","And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died."
"asv","12","4","21","And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out."
"asv","12","4","22","And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again."
"asv","12","4","23","And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well."
"asv","12","4","24","Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee."
"asv","12","4","25","So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel."
"asv","12","4","26","run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well."
"asv","12","4","27","And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and Jehovah hath hid it from me, and hath not told me."
"asv","12","4","28","Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?"
"asv","12","4","29","Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child."
"asv","12","4","30","And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her."
"asv","12","4","31","And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked."
"asv","12","4","32","And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed."
"asv","12","4","33","He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah."
"asv","12","4","34","And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm."
"asv","12","4","35","Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes."
"asv","12","4","36","And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son."
"asv","12","4","37","Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out."
"asv","12","4","38","And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets."
"asv","12","4","39","And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not."
"asv","12","4","40","So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof."
"asv","12","4","41","But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot."
"asv","12","4","42","And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat."
"asv","12","4","43","And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof."
"asv","12","4","44","So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of Jehovah."
"asv","12","5","1","Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Jehovah had given victory unto Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor,  but he was a leper."
"asv","12","5","2","And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman’s wife."
"asv","12","5","3","And she said unto her mistress, Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy."
"asv","12","5","4","And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maiden that is of the land of Israel."
"asv","12","5","5","And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand  pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment."
"asv","12","5","6","And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy."
"asv","12","5","7","And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me."
"asv","12","5","8","And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."
"asv","12","5","9","So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha."
"asv","12","5","10","And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean."
"asv","12","5","11","But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper."
"asv","12","5","12","Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage."
"asv","12","5","13","And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?"
"asv","12","5","14","Then went he down, and dipped  himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean."
"asv","12","5","15","And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a present of thy servant."
"asv","12","5","16","But he said, As Jehovah liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused."
"asv","12","5","17","And Naaman said, If not, yet, I pray thee, let there be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto Jehovah."
"asv","12","5","18","In this thing Jehovah pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, Jehovah pardon thy servant in this thing."
"asv","12","5","19","And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way."
"asv","12","5","20","But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as Jehovah liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him."
"asv","12","5","21","So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?"
"asv","12","5","22","And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment."
"asv","12","5","23","And Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him."
"asv","12","5","24","And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed."
"asv","12","5","25","But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither."
"asv","12","5","26","And he said unto him, Went not my heart  with thee, when the man turned from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?"
"asv","12","5","27","The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper  as white  as snow."
"asv","12","6","1","And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us."
"asv","12","6","2","Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye."
"asv","12","6","3","And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go."
"asv","12","6","4","So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood."
"asv","12","6","5","But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed."
"asv","12","6","6","And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim."
"asv","12","6","7","And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it."
"asv","12","6","8","Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp."
"asv","12","6","9","And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are coming down."
"asv","12","6","10","And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice."
"asv","12","6","11","And the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
"asv","12","6","12","And one of his servants said, Nay, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber."
"asv","12","6","13","And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan."
"asv","12","6","14","Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about."
"asv","12","6","15","And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?"
"asv","12","6","16","And he answered, Fear not; for they that are with us are more than they that are with them."
"asv","12","6","17","And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha."
"asv","12","6","18","And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha."
"asv","12","6","19","And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria."
"asv","12","6","20","And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria."
"asv","12","6","21","And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?"
"asv","12","6","22","And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
"asv","12","6","23","And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel."
"asv","12","6","24","And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria."
"asv","12","6","25","And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore  pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five  pieces of silver."
"asv","12","6","26","And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king."
"asv","12","6","27","And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?"
"asv","12","6","28","And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow."
"asv","12","6","29","So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid her son."
"asv","12","6","30","And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes (now he was passing by upon the wall); and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh."
"asv","12","6","31","Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day."
"asv","12","6","32","But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and  the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?"
"asv","12","6","33","And while he was yet talking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah; why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?"
"asv","12","7","1","And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah: thus saith Jehovah, To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be  sold  for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria."
"asv","12","7","2","Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof."
"asv","12","7","3","Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?"
"asv","12","7","4","If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die."
"asv","12","7","5","And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there."
"asv","12","7","6","For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us."
"asv","12","7","7","Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life."
"asv","12","7","8","And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it."
"asv","12","7","9","Then they said one to another, We do not well; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household."
"asv","12","7","10","So they came and called unto the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were."
"asv","12","7","11","And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s household within."
"asv","12","7","12","And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city."
"asv","12","7","13","And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed); and let us send and see."
"asv","12","7","14","They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see."
"asv","12","7","15","And they went after them unto the Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king."
"asv","12","7","16","And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was  sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah."
"asv","12","7","17","And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him."
"asv","12","7","18","And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;"
"asv","12","7","19","and that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? and he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof:"
"asv","12","7","20","it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died."
"asv","12","8","1","Now Elisha had spoken unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for Jehovah hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years."
"asv","12","8","2","And the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years."
"asv","12","8","3","And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land."
"asv","12","8","4","Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done."
"asv","12","8","5","And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him that was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."
"asv","12","8","6","And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now."
"asv","12","8","7","And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither."
"asv","12","8","8","And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness?"
"asv","12","8","9","So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness?"
"asv","12","8","10","And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou shalt surely recover; howbeit Jehovah hath showed me that he shall surely die."
"asv","12","8","11","And he settled his countenance stedfastly  upon him, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept."
"asv","12","8","12","And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child."
"asv","12","8","13","And Hazael said, But what is thy servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, Jehovah hath showed me that thou shalt be king over Syria."
"asv","12","8","14","Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou wouldest surely recover."
"asv","12","8","15","And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","8","16","And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign."
"asv","12","8","17","Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem."
"asv","12","8","18","And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah."
"asv","12","8","19","Howbeit Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give unto him a lamp for his children alway."
"asv","12","8","20","In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves."
"asv","12","8","21","Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents."
"asv","12","8","22","So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then did Libnah revolt at the same time."
"asv","12","8","23","And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","12","8","24","And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","8","25","In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign."
"asv","12","8","26","Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel."
"asv","12","8","27","And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab."
"asv","12","8","28","And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram."
"asv","12","8","29","And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick."
"asv","12","9","1","And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead."
"asv","12","9","2","And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber."
"asv","12","9","3","Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith Jehovah, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not."
"asv","12","9","4","So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead."
"asv","12","9","5","And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain."
"asv","12","9","6","And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, even over Israel."
"asv","12","9","7","And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, at the hand of Jezebel."
"asv","12","9","8","For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel."
"asv","12","9","9","And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah."
"asv","12","9","10","And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled."
"asv","12","9","11","Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man and what his talk was."
"asv","12","9","12","And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I have anointed thee king over Israel."
"asv","12","9","13","Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, Jehu is king."
"asv","12","9","14","So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;"
"asv","12","9","15","but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel."
"asv","12","9","16","So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram."
"asv","12","9","17","Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?"
"asv","12","9","18","So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not back."
"asv","12","9","19","Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me."
"asv","12","9","20","And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously."
"asv","12","9","21","And Joram said, Make ready. And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite."
"asv","12","9","22","And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?"
"asv","12","9","23","And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah."
"asv","12","9","24","And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot."
"asv","12","9","25","Then said  Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, Jehovah laid this burden upon him:"
"asv","12","9","26","Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat  of ground, according to the word of Jehovah."
"asv","12","9","27","But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot:  and they smote him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there."
"asv","12","9","28","And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David."
"asv","12","9","29","And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah."
"asv","12","9","30","And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window."
"asv","12","9","31","And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master’s murderer?"
"asv","12","9","32","And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs."
"asv","12","9","33","And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot."
"asv","12","9","34","And when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter."
"asv","12","9","35","And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands."
"asv","12","9","36","Wherefore they came back, and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;"
"asv","12","9","37","and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel."
"asv","12","10","1","Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up  the sons of Ahab, saying,"
"asv","12","10","2","And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;"
"asv","12","10","3","look ye out the best and meetest of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house."
"asv","12","10","4","But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?"
"asv","12","10","5","And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up  the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes."
"asv","12","10","6","Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up."
"asv","12","10","7","And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel."
"asv","12","10","8","And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning."
"asv","12","10","9","And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who smote all these?"
"asv","12","10","10","Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of Jehovah, which Jehovah spake concerning the house of Ahab: for Jehovah hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah."
"asv","12","10","11","So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining."
"asv","12","10","12","And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,"
"asv","12","10","13","Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah: and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen."
"asv","12","10","14","And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them."
"asv","12","10","15","And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot."
"asv","12","10","16","And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Jehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot."
"asv","12","10","17","And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake to Elijah."
"asv","12","10","18","And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much."
"asv","12","10","19","Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice  to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal."
"asv","12","10","20","And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it."
"asv","12","10","21","And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another."
"asv","12","10","22","And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments."
"asv","12","10","23","And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of Jehovah, but the worshippers of Baal only."
"asv","12","10","24","And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape,  he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him."
"asv","12","10","25","And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal."
"asv","12","10","26","And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them."
"asv","12","10","27","And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day."
"asv","12","10","28","Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel."
"asv","12","10","29","Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them,  to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan."
"asv","12","10","30","And Jehovah said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes,  and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, thy sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel."
"asv","12","10","31","But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Jehovah, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"asv","12","10","32","In those days Jehovah began to cut off from Israel: and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel;"
"asv","12","10","33","from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan."
"asv","12","10","34","Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","12","10","35","And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","10","36","And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years."
"asv","12","11","1","Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal."
"asv","12","11","2","But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons that were slain, even him and his nurse,  and put them in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain;"
"asv","12","11","3","And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land."
"asv","12","11","4","And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and showed them the king’s son."
"asv","12","11","5","And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;"
"asv","12","11","6","And a third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier."
"asv","12","11","7","And the two companies of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king."
"asv","12","11","8","And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in."
"asv","12","11","9","And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest."
"asv","12","11","10","And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","11","11","And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about."
"asv","12","11","12","Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said,  Long live the king."
"asv","12","11","13","And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard  and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:"
"asv","12","11","14","and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason! treason!"
"asv","12","11","15","And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","11","16","So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house: and there was she slain."
"asv","12","11","17","And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be Jehovah’s people; between the king also and the people."
"asv","12","11","18","And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","11","19","And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king’s house. And he sat on the throne of the kings."
"asv","12","11","20","So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king’s house."
"asv","12","11","21","Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign."
"asv","12","12","1","In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba."
"asv","12","12","2","And Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him."
"asv","12","12","3","Howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places."
"asv","12","12","4","And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the hallowed things that is brought into the house of Jehovah, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of Jehovah,"
"asv","12","12","5","let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found."
"asv","12","12","6","But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house."
"asv","12","12","7","Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the  other  priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore take no  more money from your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house."
"asv","12","12","8","And the priests consented that they should take no  more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house."
"asv","12","12","9","But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of Jehovah: and the priests that kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","12","10","And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","12","11","And they gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, that wrought upon the house of Jehovah,"
"asv","12","12","12","and to the masons and the hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it."
"asv","12","12","13","But there were not made for the house of Jehovah cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah;"
"asv","12","12","14","for they gave that to them that did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","12","15","Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to give to them that did the work; for they dealt faithfully."
"asv","12","12","16","The money for the trespass-offerings, and the money for the sin-offerings, was not brought into the house of Jehovah: it was the priests’."
"asv","12","12","17","Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem."
"asv","12","12","18","And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and of the king’s house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem."
"asv","12","12","19","Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","12","12","20","And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at the house of Millo,  on the way that goeth down to Silla."
"asv","12","12","21","For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","13","1","In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years."
"asv","12","13","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom."
"asv","12","13","3","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually."
"asv","12","13","4","And Jehoahaz besought Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them."
"asv","12","13","5","(And Jehovah gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as beforetime."
"asv","12","13","6","Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.)"
"asv","12","13","7","For he left not to Jehoahaz of the people save fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing."
"asv","12","13","8","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","12","13","9","And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","13","10","In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria,  and reigned sixteen years."
"asv","12","13","11","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein."
"asv","12","13","12","Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","12","13","13","And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel."
"asv","12","13","14","Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over him, and said, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!"
"asv","12","13","15","And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows; and he took unto him bow and arrows."
"asv","12","13","16","And he said to the king of Israel, Put thy hand upon the bow; and he put his hand  upon it. And Elisha laid his hands upon the king’s hands."
"asv","12","13","17","And he said, Open the window eastward; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot; and he shot. And he said, Jehovah’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them."
"asv","12","13","18","And he said, Take the arrows; and he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground; and he smote thrice, and stayed."
"asv","12","13","19","And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times: then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it, whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice."
"asv","12","13","20","And Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year."
"asv","12","13","21","And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet."
"asv","12","13","22","And Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz."
"asv","12","13","23","But Jehovah was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet."
"asv","12","13","24","And Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","13","25","And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash smite him, and recovered the cities of Israel."
"asv","12","14","1","In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign."
"asv","12","14","2","He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem."
"asv","12","14","3","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done."
"asv","12","14","4","Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places."
"asv","12","14","5","And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain the king his father:"
"asv","12","14","6","but the children of the murderers he put not to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."
"asv","12","14","7","He slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called the name of it Joktheel, unto this day."
"asv","12","14","8","Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face."
"asv","12","14","9","And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle."
"asv","12","14","10","Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: glory thereof, and abide at home; for why shouldest thou meddle to  thy  hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?"
"asv","12","14","11","But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah."
"asv","12","14","12","And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent."
"asv","12","14","13","And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits."
"asv","12","14","14","And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria."
"asv","12","14","15","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","12","14","16","And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","14","17","And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
"asv","12","14","18","Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","12","14","19","And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there."
"asv","12","14","20","And they brought him upon horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David."
"asv","12","14","21","And all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah."
"asv","12","14","22","He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers."
"asv","12","14","23","In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria,  and reigned  forty and one years."
"asv","12","14","24","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"asv","12","14","25","He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Jehovah, the God of Israel, which he spake by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher."
"asv","12","14","26","For Jehovah saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel."
"asv","12","14","27","And Jehovah said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash."
"asv","12","14","28","Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath,  which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?"
"asv","12","14","29","And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","15","1","In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign."
"asv","12","15","2","Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem."
"asv","12","15","3","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done."
"asv","12","15","4","Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places."
"asv","12","15","5","And Jehovah smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house. And Jotham the king’s son was over the household, judging the people of the land."
"asv","12","15","6","Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","12","15","7","And Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","15","8","In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months."
"asv","12","15","9","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"asv","12","15","10","And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","15","11","Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel."

"asv","12","15","16","Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the borders thereof, from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up."
"asv","12","15","17","In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel,  and reigned ten years in Samaria."
"asv","12","15","18","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin."
"asv","12","15","19","There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand."
"asv","12","15","20","And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land."

"asv","12","15","35","Howbeit the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","12","15","36","Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?"
"asv","12","15","37","In those days Jehovah began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah."
"asv","12","15","38","And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","12","16","1","In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign."
"asv","12","16","2","Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah his God, like David his father."
"asv","12","16","3","But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel."
"asv","12","16","4","And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree."
"asv","12","16","5","Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him."

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

"asv","13","10","3","And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers."
"asv","13","10","4","Then said Saul unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it."
"asv","13","10","5","And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died."
"asv","13","10","6","So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together."
"asv","13","10","7","And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them."
"asv","13","10","8","And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa."
"asv","13","10","9","And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto their idols, and to the people."
"asv","13","10","10","And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon."
"asv","13","10","11","And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,"
"asv","13","10","12","all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days."
"asv","13","10","13","So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire  thereby,"
"asv","13","10","14","and inquired not of Jehovah: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse."
"asv","13","11","1","Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh."
"asv","13","11","2","In times past, even when Saul was king, it was thou that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and Jehovah thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt be shepherd of my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel."
"asv","13","11","3","So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by Samuel."
"asv","13","11","4","And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there."
"asv","13","11","5","And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David."
"asv","13","11","6","And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief."
"asv","13","11","7","And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David."
"asv","13","11","8","And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city."
"asv","13","11","9","And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him."
"asv","13","11","10","Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel."
"asv","13","11","11","And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them at one time."
"asv","13","11","12","And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men."
"asv","13","11","13","He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines."
"asv","13","11","14","And they stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah saved them by a great victory."
"asv","13","11","15","And three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim."
"asv","13","11","16","And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem."
"asv","13","11","17","And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!"
"asv","13","11","18","And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah,"
"asv","13","11","19","and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with  the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men."
"asv","13","11","20","And Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three."
"asv","13","11","21","Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: howbeit he attained not to the  first three."
"asv","13","11","22","Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he slew the two  sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow."
"asv","13","11","23","And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear."
"asv","13","11","24","These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men."
"asv","13","11","25","Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained not to the  first three: and David set him over his guard."
"asv","13","11","26","Also the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,"
"asv","13","11","27","Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,"

"asv","13","12","16","And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the stronghold unto David."
"asv","13","12","17","And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you; but if ye be come to betray me to mine adversaries, seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it."
"asv","13","12","18","Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thy helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band."
"asv","13","12","19","Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not; for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall away to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads."

"asv","13","12","38","All these being men of war, that could order the battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king."
"asv","13","12","39","And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brethren had made preparation for them."
"asv","13","12","40","Moreover they that were nigh unto them,  even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, victuals of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel."
"asv","13","13","1","And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader."
"asv","13","13","2","And David said unto all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and if it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad every where unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us;"
"asv","13","13","3","and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul."
"asv","13","13","4","And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people."
"asv","13","13","5","So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor  the brook  of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim."
"asv","13","13","6","And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah,  that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God Jehovah that sitteth  above the cherubim, that is called by the Name."
"asv","13","13","7","And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart,  and brought it  out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart."
"asv","13","13","8","And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets."
"asv","13","13","9","And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled."
"asv","13","13","10","And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God."
"asv","13","13","11","And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza, unto this day."
"asv","13","13","12","And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?"
"asv","13","13","13","So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite."
"asv","13","13","14","And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had."
"asv","13","14","1","And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house."
"asv","13","14","2","And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake."
"asv","13","14","3","And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters."
"asv","13","14","4","And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,"
"asv","13","14","5","and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,"
"asv","13","14","6","and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,"
"asv","13","14","7","and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet."
"asv","13","14","8","And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them."
"asv","13","14","9","Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim."
"asv","13","14","10","And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand."
"asv","13","14","11","So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim."
"asv","13","14","12","And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire."
"asv","13","14","13","And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley."
"asv","13","14","14","And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees."
"asv","13","14","15","And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines."
"asv","13","14","16","And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer."
"asv","13","14","17","And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations."
"asv","13","15","1","And  David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent."
"asv","13","15","2","Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath Jehovah chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever."
"asv","13","15","3","And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place, which he had prepared for it."
"asv","13","15","4","And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:"
"asv","13","15","5","of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty;"
"asv","13","15","6","of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty;"
"asv","13","15","7","of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and thirty;"
"asv","13","15","8","of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred;"
"asv","13","15","9","of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore;"
"asv","13","15","10","of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve."
"asv","13","15","11","And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,"
"asv","13","15","12","and said unto them, Ye are the heads of the fathers’  houses  of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto  the place  that I have prepared for it."
"asv","13","15","13","For because ye  bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance."
"asv","13","15","14","So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","13","15","15","And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of Jehovah."
"asv","13","15","16","And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy."
"asv","13","15","17","So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;"
"asv","13","15","18","and with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers."
"asv","13","15","19","So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan,  were appointed with cymbals of brass to sound aloud;"
"asv","13","15","20","and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries set to Alamoth;"
"asv","13","15","21","and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps set to the Sheminith, to lead."
"asv","13","15","22","And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful."
"asv","13","15","23","And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark."
"asv","13","15","24","And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark."
"asv","13","15","25","So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-edom with joy."
"asv","13","15","26","And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams."
"asv","13","15","27","And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: and David had upon him an ephod of linen."
"asv","13","15","28","Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps."
"asv","13","15","29","And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart."
"asv","13","16","1","And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God."
"asv","13","16","2","And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah."
"asv","13","16","3","And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion  of flesh, and a cake of raisins."
"asv","13","16","4","And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:"
"asv","13","16","5","Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;"
"asv","13","16","6","and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God."
"asv","13","16","7","Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren."
"asv","13","16","8","O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;Make known his doings among the peoples."
"asv","13","16","9","Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;Talk ye of all his marvellous works."
"asv","13","16","10","Glory ye in his holy name;Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah."
"asv","13","16","11","Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;Seek his face evermore."
"asv","13","16","12","Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,"
"asv","13","16","13","O ye seed of Israel his servant,Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones."
"asv","13","16","14","He is Jehovah our God;His judgments are in all the earth."
"asv","13","16","15","Remember his covenant for ever,The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,"
"asv","13","16","16"," The covenant which he made with Abraham,And his oath unto Isaac,"
"asv","13","16","17","And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,To Israel for an everlasting covenant,"
"asv","13","16","18","Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,The lot of your inheritance;"
"asv","13","16","19","When ye were but a few men in number,Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;"
"asv","13","16","20","And they went about from nation to nation,And from one kingdom to another people."
"asv","13","16","21","He suffered no man to do them wrong;Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,"
"asv","13","16","22"," Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,And do my prophets no harm."
"asv","13","16","23","Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth;Show forth his salvation from day to day."
"asv","13","16","24","Declare his glory among the nations,His marvellous works among all the peoples."
"asv","13","16","25","For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:He also is to be feared above all gods."
"asv","13","16","26","For all the gods of the peoples are idols:But Jehovah made the heavens."
"asv","13","16","27","Honor and majesty are before him:Strength and gladness are in his place."
"asv","13","16","28","Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;"
"asv","13","16","29","Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:Bring an offering, and come before him:Worship Jehovah in holy array."
"asv","13","16","30","Tremble before him, all the earth:The world also is established that it cannot be moved."
"asv","13","16","31","Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth."
"asv","13","16","32","Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;Let the field exult, and all that is therein;"
"asv","13","16","33","Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah;For he cometh to judge the earth."
"asv","13","16","34","O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;For his lovingkindness  endureth for ever."
"asv","13","16","35","And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation,And gather us together and deliver us from the nations,To give thanks unto thy holy name,And to triumph in thy praise."
"asv","13","16","36","Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,From everlasting even to everlasting."
"asv","13","16","37","So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;"
"asv","13","16","38","and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;"
"asv","13","16","39","and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,"
"asv","13","16","40","to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel;"
"asv","13","16","41","and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness endureth for ever;"
"asv","13","16","42","and with them Heman and Jeduthun  with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and  with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate."
"asv","13","16","43","And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house."
"asv","13","17","1","And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah  dwelleth under curtains."
"asv","13","17","2","And Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee."
"asv","13","17","3","And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,"
"asv","13","17","4","Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in:"
"asv","13","17","5","for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, unto this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from  one tabernacle  to another."
"asv","13","17","6","In all places wherein I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedar?"
"asv","13","17","7","Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over my people Israel:"
"asv","13","17","8","and I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth."
"asv","13","17","9","And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,"
"asv","13","17","10","and  as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house."
"asv","13","17","11","And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom."
"asv","13","17","12","He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever."
"asv","13","17","13","I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee;"
"asv","13","17","14","but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever."
"asv","13","17","15","According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David."
"asv","13","17","16","Then David the king went in, and sat before Jehovah; and he said, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?"
"asv","13","17","17","And this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; but thou hast spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Jehovah God."
"asv","13","17","18","What can David  say yet more unto thee concerning the honor which is done to thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant."
"asv","13","17","19","O Jehovah, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all  these great things."
"asv","13","17","20","O Jehovah, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears."
"asv","13","17","21","And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem unto himself for a people, to make thee a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou redeemest out of Egypt?"
"asv","13","17","22","For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Jehovah, becamest their God."
"asv","13","17","23","And now, O Jehovah, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast spoken."
"asv","13","17","24","And let thy name be established and magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and the house of David thy servant is established before thee."
"asv","13","17","25","For thou, O my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build him a house: therefore hath thy servant found  in his heart to pray before thee."
"asv","13","17","26","And now, O Jehovah, thou art God, and hast promised this good thing unto thy servant:"
"asv","13","17","27","and now it hath pleased thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Jehovah, hast blessed, and it is blessed for ever."
"asv","13","18","1","And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines."
"asv","13","18","2","And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute."
"asv","13","18","3","And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates."
"asv","13","18","4","And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David hocked all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for a hundred chariots."
"asv","13","18","5","And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succor Hadarezer king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men."
"asv","13","18","6","Then David put  garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went."
"asv","13","18","7","And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem."
"asv","13","18","8","And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass."
"asv","13","18","9","And when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah,"
"asv","13","18","10","he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou;) and  he had with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass."
"asv","13","18","11","These also did king David dedicate unto Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek."
"asv","13","18","12","Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand."
"asv","13","18","13","And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And Jehovah gave victory to David whithersoever he went."
"asv","13","18","14","And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people."
"asv","13","18","15","And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;"
"asv","13","18","16","and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was scribe;"
"asv","13","18","17","and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king."
"asv","13","19","1","And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","13","19","2","And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him."
"asv","13","19","3","But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, in that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?"
"asv","13","19","4","So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away."
"asv","13","19","5","Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return."
"asv","13","19","6","And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah."
"asv","13","19","7","So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle."
"asv","13","19","8","And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men."
"asv","13","19","9","And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field."
"asv","13","19","10","Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians."
"asv","13","19","11","And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon."
"asv","13","19","12","And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee."
"asv","13","19","13","Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah do that which seemeth him good."
"asv","13","19","14","So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him."
"asv","13","19","15","And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem."
"asv","13","19","16","And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head."
"asv","13","19","17","And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him."
"asv","13","19","18","And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host."
"asv","13","19","19","And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more."
"asv","13","20","1","And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out  to battle, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it."
"asv","13","20","2","And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much."
"asv","13","20","3","And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut  them  with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem."
"asv","13","20","4","And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued."
"asv","13","20","5","And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam."
"asv","13","20","6","And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six  on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born unto the giant."
"asv","13","20","7","And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him."
"asv","13","20","8","These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants."
"asv","13","21","1","And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel."
"asv","13","21","2","And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them."
"asv","13","21","3","And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?"
"asv","13","21","4","Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem."
"asv","13","21","5","And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword."
"asv","13","21","6","But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab."
"asv","13","21","7","And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel."
"asv","13","21","8","And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."
"asv","13","21","9","And Jehovah spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying,"
"asv","13","21","10","Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee."
"asv","13","21","11","So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Take which thou wilt:"
"asv","13","21","12","either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of Jehovah, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me."
"asv","13","21","13","And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man."
"asv","13","21","14","So Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men."
"asv","13","21","15","And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of Jehovah was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite."
"asv","13","21","16","And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces."
"asv","13","21","17","And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued."
"asv","13","21","18","Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite."
"asv","13","21","19","And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of Jehovah."
"asv","13","21","20","And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat."
"asv","13","21","21","And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground."
"asv","13","21","22","Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto Jehovah: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people."
"asv","13","21","23","And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give  thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all."
"asv","13","21","24","And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost."
"asv","13","21","25","So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight."
"asv","13","21","26","And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering."
"asv","13","21","27","And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof."
"asv","13","21","28","At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there."
"asv","13","21","29","For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon."
"asv","13","21","30","But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah."
"asv","13","22","1","Then David said, This is the house of Jehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel."
"asv","13","22","2","And David commanded to gather together the sojourners that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God."
"asv","13","22","3","And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;"
"asv","13","22","4","and cedar-trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David."
"asv","13","22","5","And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for Jehovah must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death."
"asv","13","22","6","Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","13","22","7","And David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God."
"asv","13","22","8","But the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight."
"asv","13","22","9","Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days:"
"asv","13","22","10","he shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever."
"asv","13","22","11","Now, my son, Jehovah be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of Jehovah thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee."
"asv","13","22","12","Only Jehovah give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of Jehovah thy God."
"asv","13","22","13","Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed."
"asv","13","22","14","Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver, and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto."
"asv","13","22","15","Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men that are skilful in every manner of work:"
"asv","13","22","16","of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and Jehovah be with thee."
"asv","13","22","17","David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,"
"asv","13","22","18","Is not Jehovah your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people."
"asv","13","22","19","Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Jehovah your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Jehovah."
"asv","13","23","1","Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel."
"asv","13","23","2","And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites."
"asv","13","23","3","And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand."
"asv","13","23","4","Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;"
"asv","13","23","5","and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made,  said David, to praise therewith."
"asv","13","23","6","And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari."
"asv","13","23","7","Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei."
"asv","13","23","8","The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three."
"asv","13","23","9","The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’  houses of Ladan."
"asv","13","23","10","And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei."
"asv","13","23","11","And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning."
"asv","13","23","12","The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four."
"asv","13","23","13","The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, for ever, to burn incense before Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, for ever."
"asv","13","23","14","But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi."
"asv","13","23","15","The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer."
"asv","13","23","16","The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief."
"asv","13","23","17","And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many."
"asv","13","23","18","The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief."
"asv","13","23","19","The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth."
"asv","13","23","20","The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second."
"asv","13","23","21","The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish."
"asv","13","23","22","And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them  to wife."
"asv","13","23","23","The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three."
"asv","13","23","24","These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’  houses of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward."
"asv","13","23","25","For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever:"
"asv","13","23","26","and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof."
"asv","13","23","27","For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward."
"asv","13","23","28","For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God;"
"asv","13","23","29","for the showbread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size;"
"asv","13","23","30","and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;"
"asv","13","23","31","and to offer all burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Jehovah;"
"asv","13","23","32","and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, for the service of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","13","24","1","And the courses of the sons of Aaron  were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar."
"asv","13","24","2","But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office."
"asv","13","24","3","And David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service."
"asv","13","24","4","And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and  thus were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight."
"asv","13","24","5","Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar."
"asv","13","24","6","And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’  houses  of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar."
"asv","13","24","7","Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,"
"asv","13","24","8","the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,"
"asv","13","24","9","the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,"
"asv","13","24","10","the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,"
"asv","13","24","11","the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,"
"asv","13","24","12","the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,"
"asv","13","24","13","the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,"
"asv","13","24","14","the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,"
"asv","13","24","15","the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,"
"asv","13","24","16","the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,"
"asv","13","24","17","the one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,"
"asv","13","24","18","the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah."
"asv","13","24","19","This was the ordering of them in their service, to come into the house of Jehovah according to the ordinance  given unto them by Aaron their father, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, had commanded him."
"asv","13","24","20","And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah."
"asv","13","24","21","Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief."
"asv","13","24","22","Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath."
"asv","13","24","23","And the sons  of Hebron: Jeriah  the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth."
"asv","13","24","24","The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir."
"asv","13","24","25","The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah."
"asv","13","24","26","The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah: Beno."
"asv","13","24","27","The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri."
"asv","13","24","28","Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons."
"asv","13","24","29","Of Kish; the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel."
"asv","13","24","30","And the sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers’ houses."
"asv","13","24","31","These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’  houses of the priests and of the Levites; the fathers’ houses of the chief even as those of his younger brother."
"asv","13","25","1","Moreover David and the captains of the host set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of them that did the work according to their service was:"
"asv","13","25","2","of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king."
"asv","13","25","3","Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Jehovah."
"asv","13","25","4","Of Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth."
"asv","13","25","5","All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters."
"asv","13","25","6","All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king."
"asv","13","25","7","And the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in singing unto Jehovah, even all that were skilful, was two hundred fourscore and eight."
"asv","13","25","8","And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar."

"asv","13","27","24","Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but finished not; and there came wrath for this upon Israel; neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king David."
"asv","13","27","25","And over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah:"
"asv","13","27","26","And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:"

"asv","13","27","31","All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s."
"asv","13","27","32","Also Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counsellor, a man of understanding, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons:"
"asv","13","27","33","And Ahithophel was the king’s counsellor: and Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend:"
"asv","13","27","34","and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the captain of the king’s host was Joab."
"asv","13","28","1","And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that served the king by course, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, unto Jerusalem."
"asv","13","28","2","Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: as for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building."
"asv","13","28","3","But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood."
"asv","13","28","4","Howbeit Jehovah, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;"
"asv","13","28","5","And of all my sons (for Jehovah hath given me many sons), he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel."
"asv","13","28","6","And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father."
"asv","13","28","7","And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and mine ordinances, as at this day."
"asv","13","28","8","Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you for ever."
"asv","13","28","9","And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever."
"asv","13","28","10","Take heed now; for Jehovah hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it."
"asv","13","28","11","Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch  of the temple, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper rooms thereof, and of the inner chambers thereof, and of the place of the mercy-seat;"
"asv","13","28","12","and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;"
"asv","13","28","13","also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Jehovah;"
"asv","13","28","14","of gold by weight for the  vessels of gold, for all vessels of every kind of service;  of silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;"
"asv","13","28","15","by weight also for the candlesticks of gold, and for the lamps thereof, of gold, by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof; and for the candlesticks of silver,  silver by weight for  every  candlestick and for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick;"
"asv","13","28","16","and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;"
"asv","13","28","17","and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;"
"asv","13","28","18","and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot,  even the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of Jehovah."
"asv","13","28","19","All this,  said David, have I been made to understand in writing from the hand of Jehovah, even all the works of this pattern."
"asv","13","28","20","And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed; for Jehovah God, even my God, is with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah be finished."
"asv","13","28","21","And, behold, there are the courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee in all manner of work every willing man that hath skill, for any manner of service: also the captains and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment."
"asv","13","29","1","And David the king said unto all the assembly, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for Jehovah God."
"asv","13","29","2","Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the  things of gold, and the silver for the  things of  silver, and the brass for the  things of brass, the iron for the  things of iron, and wood for the  things of wood; onyx stones, and  stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance."
"asv","13","29","3","Moreover also, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, seeing that I have a treasure of mine own of gold and silver, I give it unto the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,"
"asv","13","29","4","even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, wherewith to overlay the walls of the houses;"
"asv","13","29","5","of gold for the  things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all manner of work  to be made  by the hands of artificers. Who then offereth willingly to consecrate himself this day unto Jehovah?"
"asv","13","29","6","Then the princes of the fathers’  houses, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly;"
"asv","13","29","7","and they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents."
"asv","13","29","8","And they with whom  precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of Jehovah, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite."
"asv","13","29","9","Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Jehovah: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy."
"asv","13","29","10","Wherefore David blessed Jehovah before all the assembly; and David said, Blessed be thou, O Jehovah, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever."
"asv","13","29","11","Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and thou art exalted as head above all."
"asv","13","29","12","Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy hand is power and might; and in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all."
"asv","13","29","13","Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name."
"asv","13","29","14","But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee."
"asv","13","29","15","For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding."
"asv","13","29","16","O Jehovah our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name cometh of thy hand, and is all thine own."
"asv","13","29","17","I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, that are present here, offer willingly unto thee."
"asv","13","29","18","O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee;"
"asv","13","29","19","and give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision."
"asv","13","29","20","And David said to all the assembly, Now bless Jehovah your God. And all the assembly blessed Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped Jehovah, and the king."
"asv","13","29","21","And they sacrificed sacrifices unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,"
"asv","13","29","22","and did eat and drink before Jehovah on that day with great gladness."
"asv","13","29","23","Then Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him."
"asv","13","29","24","And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king."
"asv","13","29","25","And Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel."
"asv","13","29","26","Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel."
"asv","13","29","27","And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three  years reigned he in Jerusalem."
"asv","13","29","28","And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","13","29","29","Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,"
"asv","13","29","30","with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries."
"asv","14","1","1","And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly."
"asv","14","1","2","And Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’  houses."
"asv","14","1","3","So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness."
"asv","14","1","4","But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem."
"asv","14","1","5","Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah: and Solomon and the assembly sought unto it."
"asv","14","1","6","And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it."
"asv","14","1","7","In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee."
"asv","14","1","8","And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great lovingkindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead."
"asv","14","1","9","Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise unto David my father be established; for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude."
"asv","14","1","10","Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?"
"asv","14","1","11","And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:"
"asv","14","1","12","wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee; neither shall there any after thee have the like."
"asv","14","1","13","So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel."
"asv","14","1","14","And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem."
"asv","14","1","15","And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance."
"asv","14","1","16","And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price."
"asv","14","1","17","And they fetched up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means."
"asv","14","2","1","Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom."
"asv","14","2","2","And Solomon counted out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them."
"asv","14","2","3","And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein,  even so deal with me."
"asv","14","2","4","Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is  an ordinance for ever to Israel."
"asv","14","2","5","And the house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods."
"asv","14","2","6","But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?"
"asv","14","2","7","Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that knoweth how to grave  all manner of gravings,  to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide."
"asv","14","2","8","Send me also cedar-trees, fir-trees, and algum-trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,"
"asv","14","2","9","even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful."
"asv","14","2","10","And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."
"asv","14","2","11","Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because Jehovah loveth his people, he hath made thee king over them."
"asv","14","2","12","Huram said moreover, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom."
"asv","14","2","13","And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,"
"asv","14","2","14","the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed unto him with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father."
"asv","14","2","15","Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:"
"asv","14","2","16","and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","2","17","And Solomon numbered all the sojourners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred."
"asv","14","2","18","And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work."
"asv","14","3","1","Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where  Jehovah appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite."
"asv","14","3","2","And he began to build in the second  day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign."
"asv","14","3","3","Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits."
"asv","14","3","4","And the porch that was before  the house, the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold."
"asv","14","3","5","And the greater house he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chains."
"asv","14","3","6","And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim."
"asv","14","3","7","He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls."
"asv","14","3","8","And he made the most holy house: the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents."
"asv","14","3","9","And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold."
"asv","14","3","10","And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold."
"asv","14","3","11","And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one  cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was  likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub."
"asv","14","3","12","And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits  also, joining to the wing of the other cherub."
"asv","14","3","13","The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house."
"asv","14","3","14","And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon."
"asv","14","3","15","Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits."
"asv","14","3","16","And he made chains in the oracle, and put  them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains."
"asv","14","3","17","And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz."
"asv","14","4","1","Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof."
"asv","14","4","2","Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass; and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about."
"asv","14","4","3","And under it was the likeness of oxen, which did compass it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast."
"asv","14","4","4","It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward."
"asv","14","4","5","And it was a handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths."
"asv","14","4","6","He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in."
"asv","14","4","7","And he made the ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left."
"asv","14","4","8","He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold."
"asv","14","4","9","Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass."
"asv","14","4","10","And he set the sea on the right side  of the house eastward, toward the south."
"asv","14","4","11","And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:"
"asv","14","4","12","the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,"
"asv","14","4","13","and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars."
"asv","14","4","14","He made also the bases, and the lavers made he upon the bases;"
"asv","14","4","15","one sea, and the twelve oxen under it."
"asv","14","4","16","The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his father make for king Solomon for the house of Jehovah of bright brass."
"asv","14","4","17","In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah."
"asv","14","4","18","Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out."
"asv","14","4","19","And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the showbread;"
"asv","14","4","20","and the candlesticks with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;"
"asv","14","4","21","and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;"
"asv","14","4","22","and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house,  to wit, of the temple, were of gold."
"asv","14","5","1","Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God."
"asv","14","5","2","Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’  houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion."
"asv","14","5","3","And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was  in the seventh month."
"asv","14","5","4","And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;"
"asv","14","5","5","and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up."
"asv","14","5","6","And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude."
"asv","14","5","7","And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim."
"asv","14","5","8","For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above."
"asv","14","5","9","And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there it is unto this day."
"asv","14","5","10","There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt."
"asv","14","5","11","And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;"
"asv","14","5","12","also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets;)"
"asv","14","5","13","it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah,  saying, For he is good; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,"
"asv","14","5","14","so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God."
"asv","14","6","1","Then spake Solomon, Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness."
"asv","14","6","2","But I have built thee a house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in for ever."
"asv","14","6","3","And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood."
"asv","14","6","4","And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,"
"asv","14","6","5","Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:"
"asv","14","6","6","but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel."
"asv","14","6","7","Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","14","6","8","But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:"
"asv","14","6","9","nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name."
"asv","14","6","10","And Jehovah hath performed his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","14","6","11","And there have I set the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of Israel."
"asv","14","6","12","And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands"
"asv","14","6","13","(for Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;)"
"asv","14","6","14","and he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven, or on earth; who keepest covenant and lovingkindness with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart;"
"asv","14","6","15","who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day."
"asv","14","6","16","Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou hast walked before me."
"asv","14","6","17","Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David."
"asv","14","6","18","But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have builded!"
"asv","14","6","19","Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;"
"asv","14","6","20","that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place."
"asv","14","6","21","And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou from thy dwelling-place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest forgive."
"asv","14","6","22","If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come  and swear before thine altar in this house;"
"asv","14","6","23","then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness."
"asv","14","6","24","And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;"
"asv","14","6","25","then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers."
"asv","14","6","26","When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:"
"asv","14","6","27","then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance."
"asv","14","6","28","If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness there be;"
"asv","14","6","29","what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:"
"asv","14","6","30","then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men;)"
"asv","14","6","31","that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers."
"asv","14","6","32","Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:"
"asv","14","6","33","then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name."
"asv","14","6","34","If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;"
"asv","14","6","35","then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause."
"asv","14","6","36","If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near;"
"asv","14","6","37","yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;"
"asv","14","6","38","if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:"
"asv","14","6","39","then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee."
"asv","14","6","40","Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place."
"asv","14","6","41","Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness."
"asv","14","6","42","O Jehovah God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember thy lovingkindnesses to David thy servant."
"asv","14","7","1","Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house."
"asv","14","7","2","And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah’s house."
"asv","14","7","3","And all the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah was upon the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and gave thanks unto Jehovah,  saying, For he is good; for his lovingkindness  endureth  for ever."
"asv","14","7","4","Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Jehovah."
"asv","14","7","5","And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God."
"asv","14","7","6","And the priests stood, according to their offices; the Levites also with instruments of music of Jehovah, which David the king had made to give thanks unto Jehovah, (for his lovingkindness  endureth for ever,) when David praised by their ministry: and the priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood."
"asv","14","7","7","Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat."
"asv","14","7","8","So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt."
"asv","14","7","9","And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days."
"asv","14","7","10","And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people."
"asv","14","7","11","Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he prosperously effected."
"asv","14","7","12","And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice."
"asv","14","7","13","If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;"
"asv","14","7","14","if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
"asv","14","7","15","Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place."
"asv","14","7","16","For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually."
"asv","14","7","17","And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;"
"asv","14","7","18","then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel."
"asv","14","7","19","But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;"
"asv","14","7","20","then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples."
"asv","14","7","21","And this house, which is so high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to this house?"
"asv","14","7","22","And they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them."
"asv","14","8","1","And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Jehovah, and his own house,"
"asv","14","8","2","that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there."
"asv","14","8","3","And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it."
"asv","14","8","4","And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath."
"asv","14","8","5","Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;"
"asv","14","8","6","and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion."
"asv","14","8","7","As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, that were not of Israel;"
"asv","14","8","8","of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy  of bondservants unto this day."
"asv","14","8","9","But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen."
"asv","14","8","10","And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people."
"asv","14","8","11","And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of Jehovah hath come."
"asv","14","8","12","Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch,"
"asv","14","8","13","even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year,  even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles."
"asv","14","8","14","And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded."
"asv","14","8","15","And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures."
"asv","14","8","16","Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and until it was finished.  So the house of Jehovah was completed."
"asv","14","8","17","Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom."
"asv","14","8","18","And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon."
"asv","14","9","1","And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart."
"asv","14","9","2","And Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hid from Solomon which he told her not."
"asv","14","9","3","And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,"
"asv","14","9","4","and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her."
"asv","14","9","5","And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom."
"asv","14","9","6","Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the fame that I heard."
"asv","14","9","7","Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom."
"asv","14","9","8","Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king for Jehovah thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness."
"asv","14","9","9","And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon."
"asv","14","9","10","And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, that brought gold from Ophir, brought algum-trees and precious stones."
"asv","14","9","11","And the king made of the algum-trees terraces for the house of Jehovah, and for the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah."
"asv","14","9","12","And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants."
"asv","14","9","13","Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold,"
"asv","14","9","14","besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon."
"asv","14","9","15","And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one buckler."
"asv","14","9","16","And  he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred  shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon."
"asv","14","9","17","Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold."
"asv","14","9","18","And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays."
"asv","14","9","19","And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom."
"asv","14","9","20","And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon."
"asv","14","9","21","For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."
"asv","14","9","22","So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom."
"asv","14","9","23","And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart."
"asv","14","9","24","And they brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year."
"asv","14","9","25","And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem."
"asv","14","9","26","And he ruled over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt."
"asv","14","9","27","And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance."
"asv","14","9","28","And they brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands."
"asv","14","9","29","Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?"
"asv","14","9","30","And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years."
"asv","14","9","31","And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","10","1","And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king."
"asv","14","10","2","And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon,) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt."
"asv","14","10","3","And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spake to Rehoboam, saying,"
"asv","14","10","4","Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee."
"asv","14","10","5","And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed."
"asv","14","10","6","And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?"
"asv","14","10","7","And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever."
"asv","14","10","8","But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him."
"asv","14","10","9","And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?"
"asv","14","10","10","And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins."
"asv","14","10","11","And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I  will chastise you  with scorpions."
"asv","14","10","12","So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day."
"asv","14","10","13","And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,"
"asv","14","10","14","and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I  will chastise you with scorpions."
"asv","14","10","15","So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that Jehovah might establish his word, which he spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat."
"asv","14","10","16","And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So all Israel departed unto their tents."
"asv","14","10","17","But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them."
"asv","14","10","18","Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","10","19","So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day."
"asv","14","11","1","And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam."
"asv","14","11","2","But the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,"
"asv","14","11","3","Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,"
"asv","14","11","4","Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the words of Jehovah, and returned from going against Jeroboam."
"asv","14","11","5","And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah."
"asv","14","11","6","He built Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,"
"asv","14","11","7","And Beth-zur, and Soco, and Adullam,"
"asv","14","11","8","and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,"
"asv","14","11","9","and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,"
"asv","14","11","10","and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities."
"asv","14","11","11","And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of victuals, and oil and wine."
"asv","14","11","12","And in every city  he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin belonged to him."
"asv","14","11","13","And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border."
"asv","14","11","14","For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest’s office unto Jehovah;"
"asv","14","11","15","and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the he-goats, and for the calves which he had made."
"asv","14","11","16","And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto Jehovah, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","11","17","So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon."
"asv","14","11","18","And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David,  and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;"
"asv","14","11","19","and she bare him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham."
"asv","14","11","20","And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith."
"asv","14","11","21","And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begat twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.)"
"asv","14","11","22","And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief,  even  the prince among his brethren; for  he was minded to make him king."
"asv","14","11","23","And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city: and he gave them victuals in abundance. And he sought  for them many wives."
"asv","14","12","1","And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him."
"asv","14","12","2","And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Jehovah,"
"asv","14","12","3","with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen. And the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians."
"asv","14","12","4","And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem."
"asv","14","12","5","Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak."
"asv","14","12","6","Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous."
"asv","14","12","7","And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak."
"asv","14","12","8","Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."
"asv","14","12","9","So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house: he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made."
"asv","14","12","10","And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house."
"asv","14","12","11","And it was so, that, as oft as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber."
"asv","14","12","12","And when he humbled himself, the wrath of Jehovah turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found."
"asv","14","12","13","So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess."
"asv","14","12","14","And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek Jehovah."
"asv","14","12","15","Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually."
"asv","14","12","16","And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","13","1","In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah."
"asv","14","13","2","Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam."
"asv","14","13","3","And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor."
"asv","14","13","4","And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:"
"asv","14","13","5","Ought ye not to know that Jehovah, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?"
"asv","14","13","6","Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord."
"asv","14","13","7","And there were gathered unto him worthless men, base fellows, that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them."
"asv","14","13","8","And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods."
"asv","14","13","9","Have ye not driven out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made you priests after the manner of the peoples of  other  lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of  them that are  no gods."
"asv","14","13","10","But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering unto Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work:"
"asv","14","13","11","and they burn unto Jehovah every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense: the showbread also  set they  in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but ye have forsaken him."
"asv","14","13","12","And, behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper."
"asv","14","13","13","But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them."
"asv","14","13","14","And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets."
"asv","14","13","15","Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah."
"asv","14","13","16","And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand."
"asv","14","13","17","And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men."
"asv","14","13","18","Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","13","19","And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof."
"asv","14","13","20","Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died."
"asv","14","13","21","But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters."
"asv","14","13","22","And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo."
"asv","14","14","1","So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years."
"asv","14","14","2","And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God:"
"asv","14","14","3","for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,"
"asv","14","14","4","and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment."
"asv","14","14","5","Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him."
"asv","14","14","6","And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest."
"asv","14","14","7","For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered."
"asv","14","14","8","And Asa had an army that bare bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor."
"asv","14","14","9","And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah."
"asv","14","14","10","Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah."
"asv","14","14","11","And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none besides thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee."
"asv","14","14","12","So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled."
"asv","14","14","13","And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty."
"asv","14","14","14","And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them."
"asv","14","14","15","They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","15","1","And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:"
"asv","14","15","2","and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you."
"asv","14","15","3","Now for a long season Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:"
"asv","14","15","4","But when in their distress they turned unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them."
"asv","14","15","5","And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in; but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the lands."
"asv","14","15","6","And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity."
"asv","14","15","7","But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
"asv","14","15","8","And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah."
"asv","14","15","9","And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him."
"asv","14","15","10","So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa."
"asv","14","15","11","And they sacrificed unto Jehovah in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep."
"asv","14","15","12","And they entered into the covenant to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;"
"asv","14","15","13","and that whosoever would not seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."
"asv","14","15","14","And they sware unto Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets."
"asv","14","15","15","And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Jehovah gave them rest round about."
"asv","14","15","16","And also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron."
"asv","14","15","17","But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days."
"asv","14","15","18","And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels."
"asv","14","15","19","And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa."
"asv","14","16","1","In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah."
"asv","14","16","2","Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,"
"asv","14","16","3"," There is a league between me and thee, as  there was  between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
"asv","14","16","4","And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali."
"asv","14","16","5","And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease."
"asv","14","16","6","Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah."
"asv","14","16","7","And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and hast not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand."
"asv","14","16","8","Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy hand."
"asv","14","16","9","For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars."
"asv","14","16","10","Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time."
"asv","14","16","11","And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
"asv","14","16","12","And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to Jehovah, but to the physicians."
"asv","14","16","13","And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign."
"asv","14","16","14","And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds  of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art: and they made a very great burning for him."
"asv","14","17","1","And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel."
"asv","14","17","2","And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken."
"asv","14","17","3","And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim,"
"asv","14","17","4","but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel."
"asv","14","17","5","Therefore Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance."
"asv","14","17","6","And his heart was lifted up in the ways of Jehovah: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah."
"asv","14","17","7","Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;"
"asv","14","17","8","and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests."
"asv","14","17","9","And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Jehovah with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people."
"asv","14","17","10","And the fear of Jehovah fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat."
"asv","14","17","11","And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats."
"asv","14","17","12","And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store."
"asv","14","17","13","And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","17","14","And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers’ houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand;"
"asv","14","17","15","and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand;"
"asv","14","17","16","and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto Jehovah; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor."
"asv","14","17","17","And of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;"
"asv","14","17","18","and next to him Jehozabad and with him a hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war."
"asv","14","17","19","These were they that waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah."
"asv","14","18","1","Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab."
"asv","14","18","2","And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and moved him to go up  with him to Ramoth-gilead."
"asv","14","18","3","And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and  we will be with thee in the war."
"asv","14","18","4","And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray thee, for the word of Jehovah."
"asv","14","18","5","Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king."
"asv","14","18","6","But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we may inquire of him?"
"asv","14","18","7","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so."
"asv","14","18","8","Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla."
"asv","14","18","9","Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them."
"asv","14","18","10","And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until they be consumed."
"asv","14","18","11","And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king."
"asv","14","18","12","And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets  declare good to the king with one mouth: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good."
"asv","14","18","13","And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, what my God saith, that will I speak."
"asv","14","18","14","And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they shall be delivered into your hand."
"asv","14","18","15","And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Jehovah?"
"asv","14","18","16","And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Jehovah said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace."
"asv","14","18","17","And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"
"asv","14","18","18","And  Micaiah said, Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left."
"asv","14","18","19","And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner."
"asv","14","18","20","And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith?"
"asv","14","18","21","And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do so."
"asv","14","18","22","Now therefore, behold, Jehovah hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah hath spoken evil concerning thee."
"asv","14","18","23","Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak unto thee?"
"asv","14","18","24","And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself."
"asv","14","18","25","And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;"
"asv","14","18","26","and say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace."
"asv","14","18","27","And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you."
"asv","14","18","28","So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead."
"asv","14","18","29","And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle."
"asv","14","18","30","Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel."
"asv","14","18","31","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they turned about to fight against him: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God moved them  to depart from him."
"asv","14","18","32","And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him."
"asv","14","18","33","And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: wherefore he said to the driver of the chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded."
"asv","14","18","34","And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died."
"asv","14","19","1","And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","19","2","And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate Jehovah? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before Jehovah."
"asv","14","19","3","Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast put away the Asheroth out of the land, and hast set thy heart to seek God."
"asv","14","19","4","And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the people from Beer-sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, and brought them back unto Jehovah, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","19","5","And he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,"
"asv","14","19","6","and said to the judges, Consider what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for Jehovah; and  he is with you in the judgment."
"asv","14","19","7","Now therefore let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Jehovah our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes."
"asv","14","19","8","Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites and the priests, and of the heads of the fathers’  houses of Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah, and for controversies. And they returned to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","19","9","And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of Jehovah, faithfully, and with a perfect heart."
"asv","14","19","10","And whensoever any controversy shall come to you from your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, ye shall warn them, that they be not guilty towards Jehovah, and so wrath come upon you and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not be guilty."
"asv","14","19","11","And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and Jehovah be with the good."
"asv","14","20","1","And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle."
"asv","14","20","2","Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea from Syria; and, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (the same is En-gedi)."
"asv","14","20","3","And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek unto Jehovah; and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah."
"asv","14","20","4","And Judah gathered themselves together, to seek  help of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah."
"asv","14","20","5","And Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;"
"asv","14","20","6","and he said, O Jehovah, the God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and art not thou ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in thy hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee."
"asv","14","20","7","Didst not thou, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?"
"asv","14","20","8","And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,"
"asv","14","20","9","If evil come upon us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house, and before thee, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, and thou wilt hear and save."
"asv","14","20","10","And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not;"
"asv","14","20","11","behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit."
"asv","14","20","12","O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee."
"asv","14","20","13","And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children."
"asv","14","20","14","Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of Jehovah in the midst of the assembly;"
"asv","14","20","15","and he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat: Thus saith Jehovah unto you, Fear not ye, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s."
"asv","14","20","16","To-morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel."
"asv","14","20","17","Ye shall not need to fight in this  battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear not, nor be dismayed: to-morrow go out against them: for Jehovah is with you."
"asv","14","20","18","And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah."
"asv","14","20","19","And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice."
"asv","14","20","20","And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper."
"asv","14","20","21","And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto Jehovah; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever."
"asv","14","20","22","And when they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten."
"asv","14","20","23","For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another."
"asv","14","20","24","And when Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped."
"asv","14","20","25","And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much."
"asv","14","20","26","And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah unto this day."
"asv","14","20","27","Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies."
"asv","14","20","28","And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","20","29","And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel."
"asv","14","20","30","So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest round about."
"asv","14","20","31","And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi."
"asv","14","20","32","And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah."
"asv","14","20","33","Howbeit the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts unto the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","20","34","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel."
"asv","14","20","35","And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly:"
"asv","14","20","36","and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber."
"asv","14","20","37","Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath destroyed thy works. And the ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish."
"asv","14","21","1","And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","21","2","And he had brethren, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel."
"asv","14","21","3","And their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the first-born."
"asv","14","21","4","Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel."
"asv","14","21","5","Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","21","6","And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah."
"asv","14","21","7","Howbeit Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children alway."
"asv","14","21","8","In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves."
"asv","14","21","9","Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots."
"asv","14","21","10","So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers."
"asv","14","21","11","Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, and led Judah astray."
"asv","14","21","12","And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,"
"asv","14","21","13","but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot, like as the house of Ahab did, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, who were better than thyself:"
"asv","14","21","14","behold, Jehovah will smite with a great plague thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance;"
"asv","14","21","15","and thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day."
"asv","14","21","16","And Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians that are beside the Ethiopians:"
"asv","14","21","17","and they came up against Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons."
"asv","14","21","18","And after all this Jehovah smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease."
"asv","14","21","19","And it came to pass, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers."
"asv","14","21","20","Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings."
"asv","14","22","1","And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned."
"asv","14","22","2","Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri."
"asv","14","22","3","He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly."
"asv","14","22","4","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction."
"asv","14","22","5","He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram."
"asv","14","22","6","And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick."
"asv","14","22","7","Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went unto Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab."
"asv","14","22","8","And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them."
"asv","14","22","9","And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom."
"asv","14","22","10","Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah."
"asv","14","22","11","But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not."
"asv","14","22","12","And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land."
"asv","14","23","1","And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him."
"asv","14","23","2","And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’  houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","23","3","And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the sons of David."
"asv","14","23","4","This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds;"
"asv","14","23","5","and a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","23","6","But let none come into the house of Jehovah, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall come in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the charge of Jehovah."
"asv","14","23","7","And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever cometh into the house, let him be slain: and be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out."
"asv","14","23","8","So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath; with those that were to go out on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses."
"asv","14","23","9","And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God."
"asv","14","23","10","And he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about."
"asv","14","23","11","Then they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said,  Long live the king."
"asv","14","23","12","And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:"
"asv","14","23","13","and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also  played on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason! treason!"
"asv","14","23","14","And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword: for the priest said, Slay her not in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","23","15","So they made way for her; and she went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house: and they slew her there."
"asv","14","23","16","And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah’s people."
"asv","14","23","17","And all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars."
"asv","14","23","18","And Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David."
"asv","14","23","19","And he set the porters at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that none that was unclean in anything should enter in."
"asv","14","23","20","And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah: and they came through the upper gate unto the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom."
"asv","14","23","21","So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And Athaliah they had slain with the sword."
"asv","14","24","1","Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Zibiah, of Beer-sheba."
"asv","14","24","2","And Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest."
"asv","14","24","3","And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters."
"asv","14","24","4","And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to restore the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","24","5","And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year; and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not."
"asv","14","24","6","And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tax of Moses the servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of the testimony?"
"asv","14","24","7","For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of Jehovah did they bestow upon the Baalim."
"asv","14","24","8","So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","24","9","And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Jehovah the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness."
"asv","14","24","10","And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end."
"asv","14","24","11","And it was so, that, at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king’s scribe and the chief priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance."
"asv","14","24","12","And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Jehovah, and also such as wrought iron and brass to repair the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","24","13","So the workmen wrought, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up the house of God in its state, and strengthened it."
"asv","14","24","14","And when they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of Jehovah, even vessels wherewith to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt-offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada."
"asv","14","24","15","But Jehoiada waxed old and was full of days, and he died; a hundred and thirty years old was he when he died."
"asv","14","24","16","And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house."
"asv","14","24","17","Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them."
"asv","14","24","18","And they forsook the house of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness."
"asv","14","24","19","Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto Jehovah; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear."
"asv","14","24","20","And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of Jehovah, so that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken Jehovah, he hath also forsaken you."
"asv","14","24","21","And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","24","22","Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, Jehovah look upon it, and require it."
"asv","14","24","23","And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus."
"asv","14","24","24","For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Jehovah delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment upon Joash."
"asv","14","24","25","And when they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings."
"asv","14","24","26","And these are they that conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess."
"asv","14","24","27","Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens  laid  upon him, and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","25","1","Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem."
"asv","14","25","2","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, but not with a perfect heart."
"asv","14","25","3","Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father."
"asv","14","25","4","But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."
"asv","14","25","5","Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield."
"asv","14","25","6","He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver."
"asv","14","25","7","But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel,  to wit, with all the children of Ephraim."
"asv","14","25","8","But if thou wilt go, do  valiantly, be strong for the battle: God will cast thee down before the enemy; for God hath power to help, and to cast down."
"asv","14","25","9","And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, Jehovah is able to give thee much more than this."
"asv","14","25","10","Then Amaziah separated them,  to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger."
"asv","14","25","11","And Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand."
"asv","14","25","12","And  other ten thousand did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces."
"asv","14","25","13","But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote of them three thousand, and took much spoil."
"asv","14","25","14","Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them."
"asv","14","25","15","Wherefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, who said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?"
"asv","14","25","16","And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that  the king  said unto him, Have we made thee of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel."
"asv","14","25","17","Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face."
"asv","14","25","18","And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle."
"asv","14","25","19","Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thy heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to  thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?"
"asv","14","25","20","But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand  of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom."
"asv","14","25","21","So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah."
"asv","14","25","22","And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent."
"asv","14","25","23","And Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits."
"asv","14","25","24","And  he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria."
"asv","14","25","25","And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years."
"asv","14","25","26","Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?"
"asv","14","25","27","Now from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following Jehovah they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there."
"asv","14","25","28","And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah."
"asv","14","26","1","And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah."
"asv","14","26","2","He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers."
"asv","14","26","3","Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem."
"asv","14","26","4","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done."
"asv","14","26","5","And he set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God: and as long as he sought Jehovah, God made him to prosper."
"asv","14","26","6","And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in  the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines."
"asv","14","26","7","And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Meunim."
"asv","14","26","8","And the Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he waxed exceeding strong."
"asv","14","26","9","Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning  of the wall, and fortified them."
"asv","14","26","10","And he built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much cattle; in the lowland also, and in the plain:  and he had  husbandmen and vinedressers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved husbandry."
"asv","14","26","11","Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains."
"asv","14","26","12","The whole number of the heads of fathers’  houses, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred."
"asv","14","26","13","And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy."
"asv","14","26","14","And Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging."
"asv","14","26","15","And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the battlements, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong."
"asv","14","26","16","But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Jehovah his God; for he went into the temple of Jehovah to burn incense upon the altar of incense."
"asv","14","26","17","And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of Jehovah, that were valiant men:"
"asv","14","26","18","and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It pertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto Jehovah, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honor from Jehovah God."
"asv","14","26","19","Then Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy brake forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of Jehovah, beside the altar of incense."
"asv","14","26","20","And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out quickly from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because Jehovah had smitten him."
"asv","14","26","21","And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land."
"asv","14","26","22","Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write."
"asv","14","26","23","So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","27","1","Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok."
"asv","14","27","2","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: howbeit he entered not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly."
"asv","14","27","3","He built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much."
"asv","14","27","4","Moreover he built cities in the hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers."
"asv","14","27","5","He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year also, and in the third."
"asv","14","27","6","So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his God."
"asv","14","27","7","Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah."
"asv","14","27","8","He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","27","9","And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","28","1","Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, like David his father;"
"asv","14","28","2","but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baalim."
"asv","14","28","3","Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel."
"asv","14","28","4","And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree."
"asv","14","28","5","Wherefore Jehovah his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter."
"asv","14","28","6","For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken Jehovah, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","28","7","And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king."
"asv","14","28","8","And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria."
"asv","14","28","9","But a prophet of Jehovah was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because Jehovah, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up to heaven."
"asv","14","28","10","And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you:  but are there not even with you trespasses of your own against Jehovah your God?"
"asv","14","28","11","Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you."
"asv","14","28","12","Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,"
"asv","14","28","13","and said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for ye purpose that which will bring upon us a trespass against Jehovah, to add unto our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."
"asv","14","28","14","So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly."
"asv","14","28","15","And the men that have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto their brethren: then they returned to Samaria."
"asv","14","28","16","At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him."
"asv","14","28","17","For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives."
"asv","14","28","18","The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with the towns thereof, and Timnah with the towns thereof, Gimzo also and the towns thereof: and they dwelt there."
"asv","14","28","19","For Jehovah brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed sore against Jehovah."
"asv","14","28","20","And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not."
"asv","14","28","21","For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Jehovah, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but it helped him not."
"asv","14","28","22","And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz."
"asv","14","28","23","For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them,  therefore  will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel."
"asv","14","28","24","And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Jehovah; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem."
"asv","14","28","25","And in every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah, the God of his fathers."
"asv","14","28","26","Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
"asv","14","28","27","And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","29","1","Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah."
"asv","14","29","2","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done."
"asv","14","29","3","He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them."
"asv","14","29","4","And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,"
"asv","14","29","5","and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place."
"asv","14","29","6","For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and turned their backs."
"asv","14","29","7","Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel."
"asv","14","29","8","Wherefore the wrath of Jehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes."
"asv","14","29","9","For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this."
"asv","14","29","10","Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us."
"asv","14","29","11","My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah hath chosen you to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers, and burn incense."
"asv","14","29","12","Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;"
"asv","14","29","13","and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;"
"asv","14","29","14","and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel."
"asv","14","29","15","And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","29","16","And the priests went in unto the inner part of the house of Jehovah, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron."
"asv","14","29","17","Now they began on the first  day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Jehovah; and they sanctified the house of Jehovah in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end."
"asv","14","29","18","Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within  the palace, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, with all the vessels thereof."
"asv","14","29","19","Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah."
"asv","14","29","20","Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","29","21","And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Jehovah."
"asv","14","29","22","So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar."
"asv","14","29","23","And they brought near the he-goats for the sin-offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands upon them:"
"asv","14","29","24","and the priests killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering  should be made  for all Israel."
"asv","14","29","25","And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah by his prophets."
"asv","14","29","26","And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets."
"asv","14","29","27","And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel."
"asv","14","29","28","And all the assembly worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this  continued until the burnt-offering was finished."
"asv","14","29","29","And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped."
"asv","14","29","30","Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped."
"asv","14","29","31","Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto Jehovah; come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart  brought burnt-offerings."
"asv","14","29","32","And the number of the burnt-offerings which the assembly brought was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah."
"asv","14","29","33","And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep."
"asv","14","29","34","But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests."
"asv","14","29","35","And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order."
"asv","14","29","36","And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly."
"asv","14","30","1","And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","14","30","2","For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month."
"asv","14","30","3","For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","30","4","And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly."
"asv","14","30","5","So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written."
"asv","14","30","6","So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria."
"asv","14","30","7","And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see."
"asv","14","30","8","Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you."
"asv","14","30","9","For if ye turn again unto Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him."
"asv","14","30","10","So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them."
"asv","14","30","11","Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","30","12","Also upon Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Jehovah."
"asv","14","30","13","And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly."
"asv","14","30","14","And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron."
"asv","14","30","15","Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth  day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","30","16","And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood  which they received of the hand of the Levites."
"asv","14","30","17","For there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto Jehovah."
"asv","14","30","18","For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon every one"
"asv","14","30","19","that setteth his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, though  he be not  cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary."
"asv","14","30","20","And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people."
"asv","14","30","21","And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day,  singing with loud instruments unto Jehovah."
"asv","14","30","22","And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that had good understanding  in the service of Jehovah. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","30","23","And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept  other seven days with gladness."
"asv","14","30","24","For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the assembly for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves."
"asv","14","30","25","And all the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced."
"asv","14","30","26","So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","30","27","Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even unto heaven."
"asv","14","31","1","Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities."
"asv","14","31","2","And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of Jehovah."
"asv","14","31","3"," He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings,  to wit, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah."
"asv","14","31","4","Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of Jehovah."
"asv","14","31","5","And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly."
"asv","14","31","6","And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated unto Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps."
"asv","14","31","7","In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month."
"asv","14","31","8","And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel."
"asv","14","31","9","Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps."
"asv","14","31","10","And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since  the people began to bring the oblations into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for Jehovah hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store."
"asv","14","31","11","Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared them."
"asv","14","31","12","And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second."
"asv","14","31","13","And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God."
"asv","14","31","14","And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east  gate, was over the freewill-offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of Jehovah, and the most holy things."
"asv","14","31","15","And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:"
"asv","14","31","16","besides them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their courses;"
"asv","14","31","17","and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their courses;"
"asv","14","31","18","and them that were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness."
"asv","14","31","19","Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, that were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every city, there were men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites."
"asv","14","31","20","And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before Jehovah his God."
"asv","14","31","21","And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered."
"asv","14","32","1","After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself."
"asv","14","32","2","And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,"
"asv","14","32","3","he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city; and they helped him."
"asv","14","32","4","So there was gathered much people together, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?"
"asv","14","32","5","And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised  it up to the towers, and the other wall without, and strengthened Millo  in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance."
"asv","14","32","6","And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,"
"asv","14","32","7","Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him:"
"asv","14","32","8","with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Jehovah our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah."
"asv","14","32","9","After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,"
"asv","14","32","10","Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide the siege in Jerusalem?"
"asv","14","32","11","Doth not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?"
"asv","14","32","12","Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and upon it shall ye burn incense?"
"asv","14","32","13","Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land out of my hand?"
"asv","14","32","14","Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?"
"asv","14","32","15","Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?"
"asv","14","32","16","And his servants spake yet more against Jehovah God, and against his servant Hezekiah."
"asv","14","32","17","He wrote also letters, to rail on Jehovah, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand."
"asv","14","32","18","And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city."
"asv","14","32","19","And they spake of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands."
"asv","14","32","20","And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven."
"asv","14","32","21","And Jehovah sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword."
"asv","14","32","22","Thus Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all  others, and guided them on every side."
"asv","14","32","23","And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth."
"asv","14","32","24","In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death: and he prayed unto Jehovah; and he spake unto him, and gave him a sign."
"asv","14","32","25","But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem."
"asv","14","32","26","Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah."
"asv","14","32","27","And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels;"
"asv","14","32","28","store-houses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds."
"asv","14","32","29","Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance."
"asv","14","32","30","This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works."
"asv","14","32","31","Howbeit in  the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart."
"asv","14","32","32","Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel."
"asv","14","32","33","And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","33","1","Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","33","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel."
"asv","14","33","3","For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them."
"asv","14","33","4","And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever."
"asv","14","33","5","And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","33","6","He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised augury, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger."
"asv","14","33","7","And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:"
"asv","14","33","8","neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses."
"asv","14","33","9","And Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel."
"asv","14","33","10","And Jehovah spake to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed."
"asv","14","33","11","Wherefore Jehovah brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon."
"asv","14","33","12","And when he was in distress, he besought Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers."
"asv","14","33","13","And he prayed unto him; and he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Jehovah he was God."
"asv","14","33","14","Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he compassed Ophel about  with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah."
"asv","14","33","15","And he took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city."
"asv","14","33","16","And he built up the altar of Jehovah, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","14","33","17","Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only unto Jehovah their God."
"asv","14","33","18","Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel."
"asv","14","33","19","His prayer also, and how  God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai."
"asv","14","33","20","So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","33","21","Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","33","22","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them."
"asv","14","33","23","And he humbled not himself before Jehovah, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more."
"asv","14","33","24","And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house."
"asv","14","33","25","But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead."
"asv","14","34","1","Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","34","2","And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left."
"asv","14","34","3","For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images."
"asv","14","34","4","And they brake down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images that were on high above them he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves  of them that had sacrificed unto them."
"asv","14","34","5","And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem."
"asv","14","34","6","And  so did he in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, in their ruins round about."
"asv","14","34","7","And he brake down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem."
"asv","14","34","8","Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Jehovah his God."
"asv","14","34","9","And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"asv","14","34","10","And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and the workmen that wrought in the house of Jehovah gave it to mend and repair the house;"
"asv","14","34","11","even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed."
"asv","14","34","12","And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and  others of the Levites, all that were skilful with instruments of music."
"asv","14","34","13","Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all that did the work in every manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters."
"asv","14","34","14","And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Jehovah, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Jehovah  given  by Moses."
"asv","14","34","15","And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan."
"asv","14","34","16","And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they are doing."
"asv","14","34","17","And they have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Jehovah, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen."
"asv","14","34","18","And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read therein before the king."
"asv","14","34","19","And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes."
"asv","14","34","20","And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king’s servant, saying,"
"asv","14","34","21","Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Jehovah, to do according unto all that is written in this book."
"asv","14","34","22","So Hilkiah, and they whom the king  had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter;) and they spake to her to that effect."
"asv","14","34","23","And she said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me,"
"asv","14","34","24","Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah."
"asv","14","34","25","Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out upon this place, and it shall not be quenched."
"asv","14","34","26","But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,"
"asv","14","34","27","because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and hast humbled thyself before me, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah."
"asv","14","34","28","Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof. And they brought back word to the king."
"asv","14","34","29","Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem."
"asv","14","34","30","And the king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","34","31","And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book."
"asv","14","34","32","And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","34","33","And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Jehovah their God. All his days they departed not from following Jehovah, the God of their fathers."
"asv","14","35","1","And Josiah kept a passover unto Jehovah in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth  day of the first month."
"asv","14","35","2","And he set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","14","35","3","And he said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, that were holy unto Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; there shall no more be a burden upon your shoulders: now serve Jehovah your God, and his people Israel."
"asv","14","35","4","And prepare yourselves after your fathers’ houses by your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son."
"asv","14","35","5","And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the children of the people, and  let there be for each a portion of a fathers’ house of the Levites."
"asv","14","35","6","And kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of Jehovah by Moses."
"asv","14","35","7","And Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all of them for the passover-offerings, unto all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance."
"asv","14","35","8","And his princes gave for a freewill-offering unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred  small cattle, and three hundred oxen."
"asv","14","35","9","Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand  small cattle, and five hundred oxen."
"asv","14","35","10","So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their courses, according to the king’s commandment."
"asv","14","35","11","And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled  the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them."
"asv","14","35","12","And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people, to offer unto Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen."
"asv","14","35","13","And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people."
"asv","14","35","14","And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron  were busied in offering the burnt-offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron."
"asv","14","35","15","And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters were at every gate: they needed not to depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them."
"asv","14","35","16","So all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of Jehovah, according to the commandment of king Josiah."
"asv","14","35","17","And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days."
"asv","14","35","18","And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"asv","14","35","19","In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept."
"asv","14","35","20","After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him."
"asv","14","35","21","But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah?  I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war; and God hath commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from  meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not."
"asv","14","35","22","Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo."
"asv","14","35","23","And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded."
"asv","14","35","24","So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah."
"asv","14","35","25","And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations unto this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations."
"asv","14","35","26","Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,"
"asv","14","35","27","and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah."
"asv","14","36","1","Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s stead in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","36","2","Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","36","3","And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold."
"asv","14","36","4","And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt."
"asv","14","36","5","Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God."
"asv","14","36","6","Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon."
"asv","14","36","7","Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon."
"asv","14","36","8","Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","14","36","9","Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah."
"asv","14","36","10","And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Jehovah, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem."
"asv","14","36","11","Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:"
"asv","14","36","12","and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet  speaking from the mouth of Jehovah."
"asv","14","36","13","And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning unto Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","14","36","14","Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem."
"asv","14","36","15","And Jehovah, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place:"
"asv","14","36","16","but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against his people, till there was no remedy."
"asv","14","36","17","Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, old man or hoary-headed: he gave them all into his hand."
"asv","14","36","18","And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon."
"asv","14","36","19","And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof."
"asv","14","36","20","And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:"
"asv","14","36","21","to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths:  for as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years."
"asv","14","36","22","Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and  put it also in writing, saying,"
"asv","14","36","23","Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up."
"asv","15","1","1","Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and  put it also in writing, saying,"
"asv","15","1","2","Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah."
"asv","15","1","3","Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem."
"asv","15","1","4","And whosoever is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem."
"asv","15","1","5","Then rose up the heads of fathers’  houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem."
"asv","15","1","6","And all they that were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered."
"asv","15","1","7","Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods;"
"asv","15","1","8","even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah."
"asv","15","1","9","And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives,"
"asv","15","1","10","thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand."
"asv","15","1","11","All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem."
"asv","15","2","1","Now these are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and that returned unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;"
"asv","15","2","2","who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:"

"asv","15","2","68","And some of the heads of fathers’  houses, when they came to the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God to set it up in its place:"
"asv","15","2","69","they gave after their ability into the treasury of the work threescore and one thousand darics of gold, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments."
"asv","15","2","70","So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities."
"asv","15","3","1","And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem."
"asv","15","3","2","Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God."
"asv","15","3","3","And they set the altar upon its base; for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries: and they offered burnt-offerings thereon unto Jehovah, even burnt-offerings morning and evening."
"asv","15","3","4","And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and  offered  the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;"
"asv","15","3","5","and afterward the continual burnt-offering, and  the offerings  of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","15","3","6","From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah: but the foundation of the temple of Jehovah was not yet laid."
"asv","15","3","7","They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, unto them of Sidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, unto Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia."
"asv","15","3","8","Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","15","3","9","Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites."
"asv","15","3","10","And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, after the order of David king of Israel."
"asv","15","3","11","And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his lovingkindness  endureth  for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid."
"asv","15","3","12","But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’  houses, the old men that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:"
"asv","15","3","13","so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off."
"asv","15","4","1","Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple unto Jehovah, the God of Israel;"
"asv","15","4","2","then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers’ houses, and said unto them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as ye do; and we sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither."
"asv","15","4","3","But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers’ houses of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us in building a house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us."
"asv","15","4","4","Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,"
"asv","15","4","5","and hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia."
"asv","15","4","6","And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem."
"asv","15","4","7","And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian  character, and set forth in the Syrian  tongue."
"asv","15","4","8","Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:"
"asv","15","4","9","then  wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, the Dinaites, and the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Shushanchites, the Dehaites, the Elamites,"
"asv","15","4","10","and the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over, and set in the city of Samaria, and in the rest  of the country  beyond the River, and so forth."
"asv","15","4","11","This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto Artaxerxes the king: Thy servants the men beyond the River, and so forth."
"asv","15","4","12","Be it known unto the king, that the Jews that came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations."
"asv","15","4","13","Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful unto the kings."
"asv","15","4","14","Now because we eat the salt of the palace, and it is not meet for us to see the king’s dishonor, therefore have we sent and certified the king;"
"asv","15","4","15","that search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city laid waste."
"asv","15","4","16","We certify the king that, if this city be builded, and the walls finished, by this means thou shalt have no portion beyond the River."
"asv","15","4","17"," Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and in the rest  of the country beyond the River: Peace, and so forth."
"asv","15","4","18","The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me."
"asv","15","4","19","And I decreed, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein."
"asv","15","4","20","There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all  the country beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll, was paid unto them."
"asv","15","4","21","Make ye now a decree to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until a decree shall be made by me."
"asv","15","4","22","And take heed that ye be not slack herein: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?"
"asv","15","4","23","Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power."
"asv","15","4","24","Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia."
"asv","15","5","1","Now the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem; in the name of the God of Israel  prophesied they unto them."
"asv","15","5","2","Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them."
"asv","15","5","3","At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?"
"asv","15","5","4","Then we told them after this manner, what the names of the men were that were making this building."
"asv","15","5","5","But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease, till the matter should come to Darius, and then answer should be returned by letter concerning it."
"asv","15","5","6","The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were beyond the River, sent unto Darius the king;"
"asv","15","5","7","they sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus: Unto Darius the king, all peace."
"asv","15","5","8","Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls; and this work goeth on with diligence and prospereth in their hands."
"asv","15","5","9","Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?"
"asv","15","5","10","We asked them their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were at the head of them."
"asv","15","5","11","And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and finished."
"asv","15","5","12","But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon."
"asv","15","5","13","But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God."
"asv","15","5","14","And the gold and silver vessels also of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;"
"asv","15","5","15","and he said unto him, Take these vessels, go, put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in its place."
"asv","15","5","16","Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundations of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not completed."
"asv","15","5","17","Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter."
"asv","15","6","1","Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon."
"asv","15","6","2","And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a roll, and therein was thus written for a record:"
"asv","15","6","3","In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be builded, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;"
"asv","15","6","4","with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king’s house."
"asv","15","6","5","And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place; and thou shalt put them in the house of God."
"asv","15","6","6","Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, be ye far from thence:"
"asv","15","6","7","let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place."
"asv","15","6","8","Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king’s goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence unto these men, that they be not hindered."
"asv","15","6","9","And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven;  also wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the word of the priests that are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail;"
"asv","15","6","10","that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savor unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons."
"asv","15","6","11","Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let a beam be pulled out from his house, and let him be lifted up and fastened thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this:"
"asv","15","6","12","and the God that hath caused his name to dwell there overthrow all kings and peoples that shall put forth their hand to alter  the same, to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with all diligence."
"asv","15","6","13","Then Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, because that Darius the king had sent, did accordingly with all diligence."
"asv","15","6","14","And the elders of the Jews builded and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia."
"asv","15","6","15","And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."
"asv","15","6","16","And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy."
"asv","15","6","17","And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel."
"asv","15","6","18","And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses."
"asv","15","6","19","And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month."
"asv","15","6","20","For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure: and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves."
"asv","15","6","21","And the children of Israel that were come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, did eat,"
"asv","15","6","22","and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Jehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel."
"asv","15","7","1","Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,"
"asv","15","7","2","the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,"
"asv","15","7","3","the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,"
"asv","15","7","4","the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,"
"asv","15","7","5","the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest;"
"asv","15","7","6","this Ezra went up from Babylon: and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah, the God of Israel, had given; and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him."
"asv","15","7","7","And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king."
"asv","15","7","8","And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king."
"asv","15","7","9","For upon the first  day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon; and on the first  day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him."
"asv","15","7","10","For Ezra had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances."
"asv","15","7","11","Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of his statutes to Israel:"
"asv","15","7","12","Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth."
"asv","15","7","13","I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with thee."
"asv","15","7","14","Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand,"
"asv","15","7","15","and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,"
"asv","15","7","16","and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem;"
"asv","15","7","17","therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem."
"asv","15","7","18","And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God."
"asv","15","7","19","And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem."
"asv","15","7","20","And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king’s treasure-house."
"asv","15","7","21","And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers that are beyond the River, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,"
"asv","15","7","22","unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much."
"asv","15","7","23","Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?"
"asv","15","7","24","Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, upon them."
"asv","15","7","25","And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not."
"asv","15","7","26","And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment."
"asv","15","7","27","Blessed be Jehovah, the God of our fathers, who hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem;"
"asv","15","7","28","and hath extended lovingkindness unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of Jehovah my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me."
"asv","15","8","1","Now these are the heads of their fathers’  houses, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:"
"asv","15","8","2","Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush."
"asv","15","8","3","Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males a hundred and fifty."
"asv","15","8","4","Of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males."
"asv","15","8","5","Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males."
"asv","15","8","6","And of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males."
"asv","15","8","7","And of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males."
"asv","15","8","8","And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him fourscore males."
"asv","15","8","9","Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males."
"asv","15","8","10","And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and threescore males."
"asv","15","8","11","And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty and eight males."
"asv","15","8","12","And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males."
"asv","15","8","13","And of the sons of Adonikam,  that were the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them threescore males."
"asv","15","8","14","And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males."
"asv","15","8","15","And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there we encamped three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi."
"asv","15","8","16","Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, who were teachers."
"asv","15","8","17","And I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo,  and his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God."
"asv","15","8","18","And according to the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;"
"asv","15","8","19","and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;"
"asv","15","8","20","and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were mentioned by name."
"asv","15","8","21","Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance."
"asv","15","8","22","For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him."
"asv","15","8","23","So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated of us."
"asv","15","8","24","Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,"
"asv","15","8","25","and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered:"
"asv","15","8","26","I weighed into their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents; of gold a hundred talents;"
"asv","15","8","27","and twenty bowls of gold, of a thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold."
"asv","15","8","28","And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto Jehovah, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill-offering unto Jehovah, the God of your fathers."
"asv","15","8","29","Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers’  houses  of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah."
"asv","15","8","30","So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God."
"asv","15","8","31","Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth  day  of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the lier-in-wait by the way."
"asv","15","8","32","And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days."
"asv","15","8","33","And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite;"
"asv","15","8","34","the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time."
"asv","15","8","35","The children of the captivity, that were come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burnt-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","15","8","36","And they delivered the king’s commissions unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they furthered the people and the house of God."
"asv","15","9","1","Now when these things were done, the princes drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands,  doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites."
"asv","15","9","2","For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass."
"asv","15","9","3","And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded."
"asv","15","9","4","Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of them of the captivity; and I sat confounded until the evening oblation."
"asv","15","9","5","And at the evening oblation I arose up from my humiliation, even with my garment and my robe rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my God;"
"asv","15","9","6","and I said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens."
"asv","15","9","7","Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to confusion of face, as it is this day."
"asv","15","9","8","And now for a little moment grace hath been showed from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage."
"asv","15","9","9","For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended lovingkindness unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem."
"asv","15","9","10","And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,"
"asv","15","9","11","which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness:"
"asv","15","9","12","now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their prosperity for ever; that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever."
"asv","15","9","13","And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant,"
"asv","15","9","14","shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?"
"asv","15","9","15","O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this."
"asv","15","10","1","Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children; for the people wept very sore."
"asv","15","10","2","And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land: yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing."
"asv","15","10","3","Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law."
"asv","15","10","4","Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee: be of good courage, and do it."
"asv","15","10","5","Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they sware."
"asv","15","10","6","Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib: and  when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water; for he mourned because of the trespass of them of the captivity."
"asv","15","10","7","And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;"
"asv","15","10","8","and that whosoever came not within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the assembly of the captivity."
"asv","15","10","9","Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month: and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain."
"asv","15","10","10","And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel."
"asv","15","10","11","Now therefore make confession unto Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women."
"asv","15","10","12","Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said concerning us, so must we do."
"asv","15","10","13","But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without: neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter."
"asv","15","10","14","Let now our princes be appointed for all the assembly, and let all them that are in our cities that have married foreign women come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God be turned from us, until this matter be despatched."
"asv","15","10","15","Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah stood up against this  matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them."
"asv","15","10","16","And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of fathers’  houses, after their fathers’ houses, and all of them by their names, were set apart; and they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter."
"asv","15","10","17","And they made an end with all the men that had married foreign women by the first day of the first month."
"asv","15","10","18","And among the sons of the priests there were found that had married foreign women:  namely, of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah."
"asv","15","10","19","And they gave their hand that they would put away their wives; and being guilty,  they offered a ram of the flock for their guilt."
"asv","15","10","20","And of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah."
"asv","15","10","21","And of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah."
"asv","15","10","22","And of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah."
"asv","15","10","23","And of the Levites: Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer."
"asv","15","10","24","And of the singers: Eliashib. And of the porters: Shallum, and Telem, and Uri."
"asv","15","10","25","And of Israel: Of the sons of Parosh: Ramiah, and Izziah, and Malchijah, and Mijamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah."
"asv","15","10","26","And of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Elijah."
"asv","15","10","27","And of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza."
"asv","15","10","28","And of the sons of Bebai: Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, Athlai."
"asv","15","10","29","And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, Jeremoth."
"asv","15","10","30","And of the sons of Pahath-moab: Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, and Binnui, and Manasseh."
"asv","15","10","31","And  of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,"
"asv","15","10","32","Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah."
"asv","15","10","33","Of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei."
"asv","15","10","34","Of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, and Uel,"

"asv","15","10","41","Azarel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,"
"asv","15","10","42","Shallum, Amariah, Joseph."
"asv","15","10","43","Of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Iddo, and Joel, Benaiah."
"asv","15","10","44","All these had taken foreign wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had children."
"asv","16","1","1","The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it came to pass in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,"
"asv","16","1","2","that Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, that were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem."
"asv","16","1","3","And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire."
"asv","16","1","4","And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days; and I fasted and prayed before the God of heaven,"
"asv","16","1","5","and said, I beseech thee, O Jehovah, the God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments:"
"asv","16","1","6","Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants while I confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee. Yea, I and my father’s house have sinned:"
"asv","16","1","7","we have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses."
"asv","16","1","8","Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye trespass, I will scatter you abroad among the peoples:"
"asv","16","1","9","but if ye return unto me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there."
"asv","16","1","10","Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand."
"asv","16","1","11","O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who delight to fear thy name; and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was cupbearer to the king."
"asv","16","2","1","And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been  beforetime sad in his presence."
"asv","16","2","2","And the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid."
"asv","16","2","3","And I said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?"
"asv","16","2","4","Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven."
"asv","16","2","5","And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it."
"asv","16","2","6","And the king said unto me (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time."
"asv","16","2","7","Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through till I come unto Judah;"
"asv","16","2","8","and a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which appertaineth to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me."
"asv","16","2","9","Then I came to the governors beyond the River, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen."
"asv","16","2","10","And when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, for that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel."
"asv","16","2","11","So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days."
"asv","16","2","12","And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon."
"asv","16","2","13","And I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the jackal’s well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire."
"asv","16","2","14","Then I went on to the fountain gate and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass."
"asv","16","2","15","Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned."
"asv","16","2","16","And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work."
"asv","16","2","17","Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach."
"asv","16","2","18","And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me, as also of the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good  work."
"asv","16","2","19","But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?"
"asv","16","2","20","Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem."
"asv","16","3","1","Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Hammeah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananel."
"asv","16","3","2","And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri."
"asv","16","3","3","And the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof."
"asv","16","3","4","And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana."
"asv","16","3","5","And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their lord."
"asv","16","3","6","And the old gate repaired Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof."
"asv","16","3","7","And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah,  that appertained  to the throne of the governor beyond the River."
"asv","16","3","8","Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, goldsmiths. And next unto him repaired Hananiah one of the perfumers, and they fortified Jerusalem even unto the broad wall."
"asv","16","3","9","And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem."
"asv","16","3","10","And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabneiah."
"asv","16","3","11","Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hasshub the son of Pahath-moab, repaired another portion, and the tower of the furnaces."
"asv","16","3","12","And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, he and his daughters."
"asv","16","3","13","The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits of the wall unto the dung gate."
"asv","16","3","14","And the dung gate repaired Malchijah the son of Rechab, the ruler of the district of Beth-haccherem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof."
"asv","16","3","15","And the fountain gate repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of the district of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the bolts thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king’s garden, even unto the stairs that go down from the city of David."
"asv","16","3","16","After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of half the district of Beth-zur, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David, and unto the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty men."
"asv","16","3","17","After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of half the district of Keilah, for his district."
"asv","16","3","18","After him repaired their brethren, Bavvai the son of Henadad, the ruler of half the district of Keilah."
"asv","16","3","19","And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another portion, over against the ascent to the armory at the turning of the wall."
"asv","16","3","20","After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired another portion, from the turning  of the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest."
"asv","16","3","21","After him repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz another portion, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib."
"asv","16","3","22","And after him repaired the priests, the men of the Plain."
"asv","16","3","23","After them repaired Benjamin and Hasshub over against their house. After them repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah beside his own house."
"asv","16","3","24","After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another portion, from the house of Azariah unto the turning  of the wall, and unto the corner."
"asv","16","3","25","Palal the son of Uzai  repaired over against the turning of the wall, and the tower that standeth out from the upper house of the king, which is by the court of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh  repaired."
"asv","16","3","26","(Now the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that standeth out.)"
"asv","16","3","27","After him the Tekoites repaired another portion, over against the great tower that standeth out, and unto the wall of Ophel."
"asv","16","3","28","Above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his own house."
"asv","16","3","29","After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his own house. And after him repaired Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate."
"asv","16","3","30","After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another portion. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber."
"asv","16","3","31","After him repaired Malchijah one of the goldsmiths unto the house of the Nethinim, and of the merchants, over against the gate of Hammiphkad, and to the ascent of the corner."
"asv","16","3","32","And between the ascent of the corner and the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants."
"asv","16","4","1","But it came to pass that, when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews."
"asv","16","4","2","And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?"
"asv","16","4","3","Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they are building, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall."
"asv","16","4","4","Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;"
"asv","16","4","5","and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked  thee to anger before the builders."
"asv","16","4","6","So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof: for the people had a mind to work."
"asv","16","4","7","But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward,  and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;"
"asv","16","4","8","and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein."
"asv","16","4","9","But we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them."
"asv","16","4","10","And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall."
"asv","16","4","11","And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease."
"asv","16","4","12","And it came to pass that, when the Jews that dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times from all places, Ye must return unto us."
"asv","16","4","13","Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set  there the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows."
"asv","16","4","14","And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses."
"asv","16","4","15","And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work."
"asv","16","4","16","And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah."
"asv","16","4","17","They all builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;"
"asv","16","4","18","and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me."
"asv","16","4","19","And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another:"
"asv","16","4","20","in what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us."
"asv","16","4","21","So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared."
"asv","16","4","22","Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day."
"asv","16","4","23","So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one  went with  his weapon  to the water."
"asv","16","5","1","Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews."
"asv","16","5","2","For there were that said, We, our sons and our daughters, are many: let us get grain, that we may eat and live."
"asv","16","5","3","Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get grain, because of the dearth."
"asv","16","5","4","There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute upon our fields and our vineyards."
"asv","16","5","5","Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage  already: neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards."
"asv","16","5","6","And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words."
"asv","16","5","7","Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I held a great assembly against them."
"asv","16","5","8","And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, that were sold unto the nations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word."
"asv","16","5","9","Also I said, The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?"
"asv","16","5","10","And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, do lend them money and grain. I pray you, let us leave off this usury."
"asv","16","5","11","Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them."
"asv","16","5","12","Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise."
"asv","16","5","13","Also I shook out my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labor, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen, and praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this promise."
"asv","16","5","14","Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king,  that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor."
"asv","16","5","15","But the former governors that were before me were chargeable unto the people, and took of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God."
"asv","16","5","16","Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work."
"asv","16","5","17","Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, a hundred and fifty men, besides those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us."
"asv","16","5","18","Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people."
"asv","16","5","19","Remember unto me, O my God, for good, all that I have done for this people."
"asv","16","6","1","Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates;)"
"asv","16","6","2","that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in  one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief."
"asv","16","6","3","And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?"
"asv","16","6","4","And they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner."
"asv","16","6","5","Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand,"
"asv","16","6","6","wherein was written, It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou art building the wall: and thou wouldest be their king, according to these words."
"asv","16","6","7","And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together."
"asv","16","6","8","Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart."
"asv","16","6","9","For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. But now,  O God, strengthen thou my hands."
"asv","16","6","10","And I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee."
"asv","16","6","11","And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."
"asv","16","6","12","And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him."
"asv","16","6","13","For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me."
"asv","16","6","14","Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear."
"asv","16","6","15","So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth  day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days."
"asv","16","6","16","And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard  thereof, that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God."
"asv","16","6","17","Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and  the letters of Tobiah came unto them."
"asv","16","6","18","For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife."
"asv","16","6","19","Also they spake of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him.  And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear."
"asv","16","7","1","Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,"
"asv","16","7","2","that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many."
"asv","16","7","3","And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand  on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar ye them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one  to be over against his house."
"asv","16","7","4","Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded."
"asv","16","7","5","And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:"
"asv","16","7","6","These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and that returned unto Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;"
"asv","16","7","7","who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:"

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

"asv","16","10","29","They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;"

"asv","16","12","25","Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the watch at the store-houses of the gates."
"asv","16","12","26","These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest the scribe."
"asv","16","12","27","And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps."
"asv","16","12","28","And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites;"
"asv","16","12","29","also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem."
"asv","16","12","30","And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall."
"asv","16","12","31","Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession;  whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:"
"asv","16","12","32","and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,"
"asv","16","12","33","and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,"
"asv","16","12","34","Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,"
"asv","16","12","35","and certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph;"
"asv","16","12","36","and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them."
"asv","16","12","37","And by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward."
"asv","16","12","38","And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad wall,"
"asv","16","12","39","and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard."
"asv","16","12","40","So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;"
"asv","16","12","41","and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;"
"asv","16","12","42","and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer."
"asv","16","12","43","And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off."
"asv","16","12","44","And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited."
"asv","16","12","45","And they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and  so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son."
"asv","16","12","46","For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God."
"asv","16","12","47","And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart  that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart  that which was for the sons of Aaron."
"asv","16","13","1","On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever,"
"asv","16","13","2","because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, to curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing."
"asv","16","13","3","And it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude."
"asv","16","13","4","Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being allied unto Tobiah,"
"asv","16","13","5","had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the heave-offerings for the priests."
"asv","16","13","6","But in all this  time I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king: and after certain days asked I leave of the king,"
"asv","16","13","7","and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God."
"asv","16","13","8","And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber."
"asv","16","13","9","Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense."
"asv","16","13","10","And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field."
"asv","16","13","11","Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place."
"asv","16","13","12","Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries."
"asv","16","13","13","And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute unto their brethren."
"asv","16","13","14","Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof."
"asv","16","13","15","In those days saw I in Judah some men treading wine-presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses  therewith; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified  against them  in the day wherein they sold victuals."
"asv","16","13","16","There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem."
"asv","16","13","17","Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?"
"asv","16","13","18","Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath."
"asv","16","13","19","And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day."
"asv","16","13","20","So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged without Jerusalem once or twice."
"asv","16","13","21","Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath."
"asv","16","13","22","And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy lovingkindness."
"asv","16","13","23","In those days also saw I the Jews that had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon,  and of Moab:"
"asv","16","13","24","and their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people."
"asv","16","13","25","And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God,  saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons, or for yourselves."
"asv","16","13","26","Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did foreign women cause to sin."
"asv","16","13","27","Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?"
"asv","16","13","28","And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me."
"asv","16","13","29","Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites."
"asv","16","13","30","Thus cleansed I them from all foreigners, and appointed charges for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;"
"asv","16","13","31","and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good."
"asv","17","1","1","Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces),"
"asv","17","1","2","that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,"
"asv","17","1","3","in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;"
"asv","17","1","4","when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and fourscore days."
"asv","17","1","5","And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace."
"asv","17","1","6"," There were hangings of white  cloth,  of  green, and  of blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and white, and yellow, and black marble."
"asv","17","1","7","And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king."
"asv","17","1","8","And the drinking was according to the law; none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure."
"asv","17","1","9","Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus."
"asv","17","1","10","On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,"
"asv","17","1","11","to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look on."
"asv","17","1","12","But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him."
"asv","17","1","13","Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment;"
"asv","17","1","14","and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom),"
"asv","17","1","15","What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?"
"asv","17","1","16","And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus."
"asv","17","1","17","For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not."
"asv","17","1","18","And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say  the like unto all the king’s princes. So will there arise much contempt and wrath."
"asv","17","1","19","If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she."
"asv","17","1","20","And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small."
"asv","17","1","21","And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:"
"asv","17","1","22","for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people."
"asv","17","2","1","After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her."
"asv","17","2","2","Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:"
"asv","17","2","3","and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;"
"asv","17","2","4","and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so."
"asv","17","2","5","There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,"
"asv","17","2","6","who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away."
"asv","17","2","7","And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter."
"asv","17","2","8","So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women."
"asv","17","2","9","And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king’s house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women."
"asv","17","2","10","Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known."
"asv","17","2","11","And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her."
"asv","17","2","12","Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished,  to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),"
"asv","17","2","13","then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house."
"asv","17","2","14","In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name."
"asv","17","2","15","Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her."
"asv","17","2","16","So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign."
"asv","17","2","17","And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti."
"asv","17","2","18","Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king."
"asv","17","2","19","And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate."
"asv","17","2","20","Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him."
"asv","17","2","21","In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus."
"asv","17","2","22","And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king  thereof in Mordecai’s name."
"asv","17","2","23","And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king."
"asv","17","3","1","After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him."
"asv","17","3","2","And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence."
"asv","17","3","3","Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?"
"asv","17","3","4","Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew."
"asv","17","3","5","And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath."
"asv","17","3","6","But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai."
"asv","17","3","7","In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month,  to the twelfth  month, which is the month Adar."
"asv","17","3","8","And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from  those of every people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them."
"asv","17","3","9","If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the  king’s business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries."
"asv","17","3","10","And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy."
"asv","17","3","11","And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee."
"asv","17","3","12","Then were the king’s scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king’s satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king’s ring."
"asv","17","3","13","And letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth  day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey."
"asv","17","3","14","A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day."
"asv","17","3","15","The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed."
"asv","17","4","1","Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;"
"asv","17","4","2","and he came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter within the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth."
"asv","17","4","3","And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes."
"asv","17","4","4","And Esther’s maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he received it not."
"asv","17","4","5","Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was."
"asv","17","4","6","So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king’s gate."
"asv","17","4","7","And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them."
"asv","17","4","8","Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people."
"asv","17","4","9","And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai."
"asv","17","4","10","Then Esther spake unto Hathach, and gave him a message unto Mordecai saying:"
"asv","17","4","11","All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days."
"asv","17","4","12","And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words."
"asv","17","4","13","Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews."
"asv","17","4","14","For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father’s house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
"asv","17","4","15","Then Esther bade them return answer unto Mordecai,"
"asv","17","4","16","Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish."
"asv","17","4","17","So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him."
"asv","17","5","1","Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house."
"asv","17","5","2","And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre."
"asv","17","5","3","Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom."
"asv","17","5","4","And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him."
"asv","17","5","5","Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared."
"asv","17","5","6","And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
"asv","17","5","7","Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is:"
"asv","17","5","8","if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said."
"asv","17","5","9","Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai."
"asv","17","5","10","Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife."
"asv","17","5","11","And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king."
"asv","17","5","12","Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king."
"asv","17","5","13","Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate."
"asv","17","5","14","Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made."
"asv","17","6","1","On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king."
"asv","17","6","2","And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus."
"asv","17","6","3","And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him."
"asv","17","6","4","And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him."
"asv","17","6","5","And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in."
"asv","17","6","6","So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?"
"asv","17","6","7","And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,"
"asv","17","6","8","let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:"
"asv","17","6","9","and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor."
"asv","17","6","10","Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken."
"asv","17","6","11","Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor."
"asv","17","6","12","And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered."
"asv","17","6","13","And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him."
"asv","17","6","14","While they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared."
"asv","17","7","1","So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen."
"asv","17","7","2","And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
"asv","17","7","3","Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:"
"asv","17","7","4","for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage."
"asv","17","7","5","Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?"
"asv","17","7","6","And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen."
"asv","17","7","7","And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine  and went  into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king."
"asv","17","7","8","Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face."
"asv","17","7","9","Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon."
"asv","17","7","10","So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified."
"asv","17","8","1","On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her."
"asv","17","8","2","And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman."
"asv","17","8","3","And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews."
"asv","17","8","4","Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king."
"asv","17","8","5","And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king’s provinces:"
"asv","17","8","6","for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?"
"asv","17","8","7","Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews."
"asv","17","8","8","Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse."
"asv","17","8","9","Then were the king’s scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth  day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language."
"asv","17","8","10","And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king’s service, bred of the stud:"
"asv","17","8","11","wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them,  their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,"
"asv","17","8","12","upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,  namely, upon the thirteenth  day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar."
"asv","17","8","13","A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies."
"asv","17","8","14","So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king’s service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace."
"asv","17","8","15","And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad."
"asv","17","8","16","The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor."
"asv","17","8","17","And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them."
"asv","17","9","1","Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them,)"
"asv","17","9","2","the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples."
"asv","17","9","3","And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them."
"asv","17","9","4","For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater."
"asv","17","9","5","And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them."
"asv","17","9","6","And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men."
"asv","17","9","7","And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,"
"asv","17","9","8","and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,"
"asv","17","9","9","and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,"
"asv","17","9","10","the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew’s enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand."
"asv","17","9","11","On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king."
"asv","17","9","12","And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done."
"asv","17","9","13","Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows."
"asv","17","9","14","And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons."
"asv","17","9","15","And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand."
"asv","17","9","16","And the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand."
"asv","17","9","17"," This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness."
"asv","17","9","18","But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness."
"asv","17","9","19","Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar  a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another."
"asv","17","9","20","And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,"
"asv","17","9","21","to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,"
"asv","17","9","22","as the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor."
"asv","17","9","23","And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;"
"asv","17","9","24","because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;"
"asv","17","9","25","but when  the matter came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows."
"asv","17","9","26","Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,"
"asv","17","9","27","the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;"
"asv","17","9","28","and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the remembrance of them perish from their seed."
"asv","17","9","29","Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim."
"asv","17","9","30","And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus,  with words of peace and truth,"
"asv","17","9","31","to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry."
"asv","17","9","32","And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book."
"asv","17","10","1","And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea."
"asv","17","10","2","And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?"
"asv","17","10","3","For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed."
"asv","18","1","1","There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil."
"asv","18","1","2","And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters."
"asv","18","1","3","His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east."
"asv","18","1","4","And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them."
"asv","18","1","5","And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually."
"asv","18","1","6","Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them."
"asv","18","1","7","And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."
"asv","18","1","8","And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil."
"asv","18","1","9","Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?"
"asv","18","1","10","Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land."
"asv","18","1","11","But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face."
"asv","18","1","12","And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah."
"asv","18","1","13","And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,"
"asv","18","1","14","that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;"
"asv","18","1","15","and the Sabeans fell  upon them, and took them away: yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."
"asv","18","1","16","While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."
"asv","18","1","17","While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."
"asv","18","1","18","While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house;"
"asv","18","1","19","and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee."
"asv","18","1","20","Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;"
"asv","18","1","21","and he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah."
"asv","18","1","22","In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly."
"asv","18","2","1","Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah."
"asv","18","2","2","And Jehovah said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."
"asv","18","2","3","And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause."
"asv","18","2","4","And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life."
"asv","18","2","5","But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face."
"asv","18","2","6","And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life."
"asv","18","2","7","So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown."
"asv","18","2","8","And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes."
"asv","18","2","9","Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die."
"asv","18","2","10","But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips."
"asv","18","2","11","Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him."
"asv","18","2","12","And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven."
"asv","18","2","13","So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great."
"asv","18","3","1","After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day."
"asv","18","3","2","And Job answered and said:"
"asv","18","3","3","Let the day perish wherein I was born,And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived."
"asv","18","3","4","Let that day be darkness;Let not God from above seek for it,Neither let the light shine upon it."
"asv","18","3","5","Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own;Let a cloud dwell upon it;Let all that maketh black the day terrify it."
"asv","18","3","6","As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it:Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;Let it not come into the number of the months."
"asv","18","3","7","Lo, let that night be barren;Let no joyful voice come therein."
"asv","18","3","8","Let them curse it that curse the day,Who are ready to rouse up leviathan."
"asv","18","3","9","Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark:Let it look for light, but have none;Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:"
"asv","18","3","10","Because it shut not up the doors of my  mother’s womb,Nor hid trouble from mine eyes."
"asv","18","3","11","Why died I not from the womb?Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?"
"asv","18","3","12","Why did the knees receive me?Or why the breast, that I should suck?"
"asv","18","3","13","For now should I have lain down and been quiet;I should have slept; then had I been at rest,"
"asv","18","3","14","With kings and counsellors of the earth,Who built up waste places for themselves;"
"asv","18","3","15","Or with princes that had gold,Who filled their houses with silver:"
"asv","18","3","16","Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,As infants that never saw light."
"asv","18","3","17","There the wicked cease from troubling;And there the weary are at rest."
"asv","18","3","18","There the prisoners are at ease together;They hear not the voice of the taskmaster."
"asv","18","3","19","The small and the great are there:And the servant is free from his master."
"asv","18","3","20","Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery,And life unto the bitter in soul;"
"asv","18","3","21","Who long for death, but it cometh not,And dig for it more than for hid treasures;"
"asv","18","3","22","Who rejoice exceedingly,And are glad, when they can find the grave?"
"asv","18","3","23"," Why is light given to a man whose way is hid,And whom God hath hedged in?"
"asv","18","3","24","For my sighing cometh before I eat,And my groanings are poured out like water."
"asv","18","3","25","For the thing which I fear cometh upon me,And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me."
"asv","18","3","26","I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest;But trouble cometh."
"asv","18","4","1","Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,"
"asv","18","4","2","If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?But who can withhold himself from speaking?"
"asv","18","4","3","Behold, thou hast instructed many,And thou hast strengthened the weak hands."
"asv","18","4","4","Thy words have upholden him that was falling,And thou hast made firm the feeble knees."
"asv","18","4","5","But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest;It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled."
"asv","18","4","6","Is not thy fear  of God thy confidence, And the integrity of thy ways thy hope?"
"asv","18","4","7","Remember, I pray thee, who  ever perished, being innocent?Or where were the upright cut off?"
"asv","18","4","8","According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity,And sow trouble, reap the same."
"asv","18","4","9","By the breath of God they perish,And by the blast of his anger are they consumed."
"asv","18","4","10","The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,And the teeth of the young lions, are broken."
"asv","18","4","11","The old lion perisheth for lack of prey,And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad."
"asv","18","4","12","Now a thing was secretly brought to me,And mine ear received a whisper thereof."
"asv","18","4","13","In thoughts from the visions of the night,When deep sleep falleth on men,"
"asv","18","4","14","Fear came upon me, and trembling,Which made all my bones to shake."
"asv","18","4","15","Then a spirit passed before my face;The hair of my flesh stood up."
"asv","18","4","16","It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof;A form was before mine eyes: There was silence, and I heard a voice,  saying,"
"asv","18","4","17","Shall mortal man be more just than God?Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?"
"asv","18","4","18","Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants;And his angels he chargeth with folly:"
"asv","18","4","19","How much more them that dwell in houses of clay,Whose foundation is in the dust,Who are crushed before the moth!"
"asv","18","4","20","Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed:They perish for ever without any regarding it."
"asv","18","4","21","Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?They die, and that without wisdom."
"asv","18","5","1","Call now; is there any that will answer thee?And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?"
"asv","18","5","2","For vexation killeth the foolish man,And jealousy slayeth the silly one."
"asv","18","5","3","I have seen the foolish taking root:But suddenly I cursed his habitation."
"asv","18","5","4","His children are far from safety,And they are crushed in the gate,Neither is there any to deliver them:"
"asv","18","5","5","Whose harvest the hungry eateth up,And taketh it even out of the thorns;And the snare gapeth for their substance."
"asv","18","5","6","For affliction cometh not forth from the dust,Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;"
"asv","18","5","7","But man is born unto trouble,As the sparks fly upward."
"asv","18","5","8","But as for me, I would seek unto God,And unto God would I commit my cause;"
"asv","18","5","9","Who doeth great things and unsearchable,Marvellous things without number:"
"asv","18","5","10","Who giveth rain upon the earth,And sendeth waters upon the fields;"
"asv","18","5","11","So that he setteth up on high those that are low,And those that mourn are exalted to safety."
"asv","18","5","12","He frustrateth the devices of the crafty,So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise."
"asv","18","5","13","He taketh the wise in their own craftiness;And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong."
"asv","18","5","14","They meet with darkness in the day-time,And grope at noonday as in the night."
"asv","18","5","15","But he saveth from the sword of their mouth,Even the needy from the hand of the mighty."
"asv","18","5","16","So the poor hath hope,And iniquity stoppeth her mouth."
"asv","18","5","17","Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty."
"asv","18","5","18","For he maketh sore, and bindeth up;He woundeth, and his hands make whole."
"asv","18","5","19","He will deliver thee in six troubles;Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee."
"asv","18","5","20","In famine he will redeem thee from death;And in war from the power of the sword."
"asv","18","5","21","Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue;Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh."
"asv","18","5","22","At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh;Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth."
"asv","18","5","23","For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee."
"asv","18","5","24","And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace;And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing."
"asv","18","5","25","Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great,And thine offspring as the grass of the earth."
"asv","18","5","26","Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season."
"asv","18","5","27","Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;Hear it, and know thou it for thy good."
"asv","18","6","1","Then Job answered and said,"
"asv","18","6","2","Oh that my vexation were but weighed,And all my calamity laid in the balances!"
"asv","18","6","3","For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas:Therefore have my words been rash."
"asv","18","6","4","For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up:The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me."
"asv","18","6","5","Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass?Or loweth the ox over his fodder?"
"asv","18","6","6","Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt?Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?"
"asv","18","6","7","My soul refuseth to touch  them;They are as loathsome food to me."
"asv","18","6","8","Oh that I might have my request;And that God would grant  me the thing that I long for!"
"asv","18","6","9","Even that it would please God to crush me;That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!"
"asv","18","6","10","And be it still my consolation,Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not,That I have not denied the words of the Holy One."
"asv","18","6","11","What is my strength, that I should wait?And what is mine end, that I should be patient?"
"asv","18","6","12","Is my strength the strength of stones?Or is my flesh of brass?"
"asv","18","6","13","Is it not that I have no help in me,And that wisdom is driven quite from me?"
"asv","18","6","14","To him that is ready to faint kindness  should be showed from his friend;Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty."
"asv","18","6","15","My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,As the channel of brooks that pass away;"
"asv","18","6","16","Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:"
"asv","18","6","17","What time they wax warm, they vanish;When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place."
"asv","18","6","18","The caravans  that travel by the way of them turn aside;They go up into the waste, and perish."
"asv","18","6","19","The caravans of Tema looked,The companies of Sheba waited for them."
"asv","18","6","20","They were put to shame because they had hoped;They came thither, and were confounded."
"asv","18","6","21","For now ye are nothing;Ye see a terror, and are afraid."
"asv","18","6","22","Did I say, Give unto me?Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?"
"asv","18","6","23","Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand?Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?"
"asv","18","6","24","Teach me, and I will hold my peace;And cause me to understand wherein I have erred."
"asv","18","6","25","How forcible are words of uprightness!But your reproof, what doth it reprove?"
"asv","18","6","26","Do ye think to reprove words,Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?"
"asv","18","6","27","Yea, ye would cast  lots upon the fatherless,And make merchandise of your friend."
"asv","18","6","28","Now therefore be pleased to look upon me;For surely I shall not lie to your face."
"asv","18","6","29","Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice;Yea, return again, my cause is righteous."
"asv","18","6","30","Is there injustice on my tongue?Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?"
"asv","18","7","1","Is there not a warfare to man upon earth?And are not his days like the days of a hireling?"
"asv","18","7","2","As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow,And as a hireling that looketh for his wages:"
"asv","18","7","3","So am I made to possess months of misery,And wearisome nights are appointed to me."
"asv","18","7","4","When I lie down, I say,When shall I arise, and the night be gone?And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day."
"asv","18","7","5","My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust;My skin closeth up, and breaketh out afresh."
"asv","18","7","6","My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,And are spent without hope."
"asv","18","7","7","Oh remember that my life is a breath:Mine eye shall no more see good."
"asv","18","7","8","The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more;Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be."
"asv","18","7","9","As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away,So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more."
"asv","18","7","10","He shall return no more to his house,Neither shall his place know him any more."
"asv","18","7","11","Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;I will complain in the bitterness of my soul."
"asv","18","7","12","Am I a sea, or a sea-monster,That thou settest a watch over me?"
"asv","18","7","13","When I say, My bed shall comfort me,My couch shall ease my complaint;"
"asv","18","7","14","Then thou scarest me with dreams,And terrifiest me through visions:"
"asv","18","7","15","So that my soul chooseth strangling,And death rather than  these my bones."
"asv","18","7","16","I loathe  my life; I would not live alway:Let me alone; for my days are vanity."
"asv","18","7","17","What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him,And that thou shouldest set thy mind upon him,"
"asv","18","7","18","And that thou shouldest visit him every morning,And try him every moment?"
"asv","18","7","19","How long wilt thou not look away from me,Nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?"
"asv","18","7","20","If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men?Why hast thou set me as a mark for thee,So that I am a burden to myself?"
"asv","18","7","21","And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?For now shall I lie down in the dust;And thou wilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be."

"asv","18","8","3","Doth God pervert justice?Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?"
"asv","18","8","4","If thy children have sinned against him,And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;"
"asv","18","8","5","If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God,And make thy supplication to the Almighty;"
"asv","18","8","6","If thou wert pure and upright:Surely now he would awake for thee,And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous."
"asv","18","8","7","And though thy beginning was small,Yet thy latter end would greatly increase."
"asv","18","8","8","For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age,And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:"
"asv","18","8","9","(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing,Because our days upon earth are a shadow);"
"asv","18","8","10","Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee,And utter words out of their heart?"

"asv","18","8","12","Whilst it is yet in its greenness,  and not cut down,It withereth before any  other herb."
"asv","18","8","13","So are the paths of all that forget God;And the hope of the godless man shall perish:"
"asv","18","8","14","Whose confidence shall break in sunder,And whose trust is a spider’s web."
"asv","18","8","15","He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand:He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure."
"asv","18","8","16","He is green before the sun,And his shoots go forth over his garden."
"asv","18","8","17","His roots are wrapped about the  stone-heap,He beholdeth the place of stones."

"asv","18","9","15","Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer;I would make supplication to my judge."
"asv","18","9","16","If I had called, and he had answered me,Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice."

"asv","18","10","13","Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart;I know that this is with thee:"

"asv","18","14","15","Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee:Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands."
"asv","18","14","16","But now thou numberest my steps:Dost thou not watch over my sin?"
"asv","18","14","17","My transgression is sealed up in a bag,And thou fastenest up mine iniquity."
"asv","18","14","18","But the mountain falling cometh to nought;And the rock is removed out of its place;"
"asv","18","14","19","The waters wear the stones;The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth:So thou destroyest the hope of man."
"asv","18","14","20","Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth;Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away."
"asv","18","14","21","His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not;And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them."
"asv","18","14","22","But his flesh upon him hath pain,And his soul within him mourneth."

"asv","18","15","1","Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,"
"asv","18","15","2","Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge,And fill himself with the east wind?"
"asv","18","15","3","Should he reason with unprofitable talk,Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?"
"asv","18","15","4","Yea, thou doest away with fear,And hinderest devotion before God."
"asv","18","15","5","For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth,And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty."
"asv","18","15","6","Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I;Yea, thine own lips testify against thee."
"asv","18","15","7","Art thou the first man that was born?Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?"
"asv","18","15","8","Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God?And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?"
"asv","18","15","9","What knowest thou, that we know not?What understandest thou, which is not in us?"
"asv","18","15","10","With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men,Much elder than thy father."
"asv","18","15","11","Are the consolations of God too small for thee,Even the word that is gentle toward thee?"
"asv","18","15","12","Why doth thy heart carry thee away?And why do thine eyes flash,"
"asv","18","15","13","That against God thou turnest thy spirit,And lettest words go out of thy mouth?"
"asv","18","15","14","What is man, that he should be clean?And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?"
"asv","18","15","15","Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones;Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:"
"asv","18","15","16","How much less one that is abominable and corrupt,A man that drinketh iniquity like water!"
"asv","18","15","17","I will show thee, hear thou me;And that which I have seen I will declare:"
"asv","18","15","18","(Which wise men have toldFrom their fathers, and have not hid it;"
"asv","18","15","19","Unto whom alone the land was given,And no stranger passed among them):"
"asv","18","15","20","The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor."
"asv","18","15","21","A sound of terrors is in his ears;In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him."
"asv","18","15","22","He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness,And he is waited for of the sword."
"asv","18","15","23","He wandereth abroad for bread,  saying, Where is it?He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand."
"asv","18","15","24","Distress and anguish make him afraid;They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle."
"asv","18","15","25","Because he hath stretched out his hand against God,And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;"
"asv","18","15","26","He runneth upon him with a  stiff neck,With the thick bosses of his bucklers;"
"asv","18","15","27","Because he hath covered his face with his fatness,And gathered fat upon his loins;"
"asv","18","15","28","And he hath dwelt in desolate cities,In houses which no man inhabited,Which were ready to become heaps;"
"asv","18","15","29","He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth."
"asv","18","15","30","He shall not depart out of darkness;The flame shall dry up his branches,And by the breath of  God’s mouth shall he go away."
"asv","18","15","31","Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself;For vanity shall be his recompense."
"asv","18","15","32","It shall be accomplished before his time,And his branch shall not be green."
"asv","18","15","33","He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine,And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree."
"asv","18","15","34","For the company of the godless shall be barren,And fire shall consume the tents of bribery."
"asv","18","15","35","They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity,And their heart prepareth deceit."
"asv","18","16","1","Then Job answered and said,"
"asv","18","16","2","I have heard many such things:Miserable comforters are ye all."
"asv","18","16","3","Shall vain words have an end?Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?"
"asv","18","16","4","I also could speak as ye do;If your soul were in my soul’s stead,I could join words together against you,And shake my head at you."
"asv","18","16","5"," But I would strengthen you with my mouth,And the solace of my lips would assuage  your grief."
"asv","18","16","6","Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged;And though I forbear, what am I eased?"
"asv","18","16","7","But now he hath made me weary:Thou hast made desolate all my company."
"asv","18","16","8","And thou hast laid fast hold on me,  which is a witness against me:And my leanness riseth up against me,It testifieth to my face."
"asv","18","16","9","He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me;He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth:Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me."
"asv","18","16","10","They have gaped upon me with their mouth;They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully:They gather themselves together against me."
"asv","18","16","11","God delivereth me to the ungodly,And casteth me into the hands of the wicked."
"asv","18","16","12","I was at ease, and he brake me asunder;Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces:He hath also set me up for his mark."
"asv","18","16","13","His archers compass me round about;He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare;He poureth out my gall upon the ground."
"asv","18","16","14","He breaketh me with breach upon breach;He runneth upon me like a giant."
"asv","18","16","15","I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin,And have laid my horn in the dust."
"asv","18","16","16","My face is red with weeping,And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;"
"asv","18","16","17","Although there is no violence in my hands,And my prayer is pure."
"asv","18","16","18","O earth, cover not thou my blood,And let my cry have no  resting-place."
"asv","18","16","19","Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven,And he that voucheth for me is on high."
"asv","18","16","20","My friends scoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,"
"asv","18","16","21","That he would maintain the right of a man with God,And of a son of man with his neighbor!"
"asv","18","16","22","For when a few years are come,I shall go the way whence I shall not return."
"asv","18","17","1","My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct,The grave is  ready for me."
"asv","18","17","2","Surely there are mockers with me,And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation."
"asv","18","17","3","Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself;Who is there that will strike hands with me?"
"asv","18","17","4","For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:Therefore shalt thou not exalt  them."
"asv","18","17","5","He that denounceth his friends for a prey,Even the eyes of his children shall fail."
"asv","18","17","6","But he hath made me a byword of the people;And they spit in my face."
"asv","18","17","7","Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow,And all my members are as a shadow."
"asv","18","17","8","Upright men shall be astonished at this,And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless."
"asv","18","17","9","Yet shall the righteous hold on his way,And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger."
"asv","18","17","10","But as for you all, come on now again;And I shall not find a wise man among you."
"asv","18","17","11","My days are past, my purposes are broken off,Even the thoughts of my heart."
"asv","18","17","12","They change the night into day:The light,  say they, is near unto the darkness."
"asv","18","17","13","If I look for Sheol as my house;If I have spread my couch in the darkness;"
"asv","18","17","14","If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father;To the worm,  Thou art my mother, and my sister;"
"asv","18","17","15","Where then is my hope?And as for my hope, who shall see it?"
"asv","18","17","16","It shall go down to the bars of Sheol,When once there is rest in the dust."

"asv","18","18","1","Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,"

"asv","18","18","3","Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight?"
"asv","18","18","4","Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger,Shall the earth be forsaken for thee?Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?"
"asv","18","18","5","Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out,And the spark of his fire shall not shine."
"asv","18","18","6","The light shall be dark in his tent,And his lamp above him shall be put out."
"asv","18","18","7","The steps of his strength shall be straitened,And his own counsel shall cast him down."
"asv","18","18","8","For he is cast into a net by his own feet,And he walketh upon the toils."
"asv","18","18","9","A gin shall take  him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him."
"asv","18","18","10","A noose is hid for him in the ground,And a trap for him in the way."
"asv","18","18","11","Terrors shall make him afraid on every side,And shall chase him at his heels."
"asv","18","18","12","His strength shall be hunger-bitten,And calamity shall be ready at his side."
"asv","18","18","13","The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members."
"asv","18","18","14","He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth;And he shall be brought to the king of terrors."
"asv","18","18","15","There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his:Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation."
"asv","18","18","16","His roots shall be dried up beneath,And above shall his branch be cut off."
"asv","18","18","17","His remembrance shall perish from the earth,And he shall have no name in the street."
"asv","18","18","18","He shall be driven from light into darkness,And chased out of the world."
"asv","18","18","19","He shall have neither son nor son’s son among his people,Nor any remaining where he sojourned."
"asv","18","18","20","They that come after shall be astonished at his day,As they that went before were affrighted."
"asv","18","18","21","Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,And this is the place of him that knoweth not God."
"asv","18","19","1","Then Job answered and said,"
"asv","18","19","2","How long will ye vex my soul,And break me in pieces with words?"
"asv","18","19","3","These ten times have ye reproached me:Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me."
"asv","18","19","4","And be it indeed that I have erred,Mine error remaineth with myself."
"asv","18","19","5","If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,And plead against me my reproach;"
"asv","18","19","6","Know now that God hath subverted me  in my cause,And hath compassed me with his net."
"asv","18","19","7","Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard:I cry for help, but there is no justice."
"asv","18","19","8","He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass,And hath set darkness in my paths."
"asv","18","19","9","He hath stripped me of my glory,And taken the crown from my head."
"asv","18","19","10","He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone;And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree."
"asv","18","19","11","He hath also kindled his wrath against me,And he counteth me unto him as  one of his adversaries."
"asv","18","19","12","His troops come on together,And cast up their way against me,And encamp round about my tent."
"asv","18","19","13","He hath put my brethren far from me,And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me."
"asv","18","19","14","My kinsfolk have failed,And my familiar friends have forgotten me."
"asv","18","19","15","They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger;I am an alien in their sight."
"asv","18","19","16","I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, Though I entreat him with my mouth."
"asv","18","19","17","My breath is strange to my wife,And my supplication to the children of mine own mother."
"asv","18","19","18","Even young children despise me;If I arise, they speak against me."
"asv","18","19","19","All my familiar friends abhor me,And they whom I loved are turned against me."
"asv","18","19","20","My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh,And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth."
"asv","18","19","21","Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;For the hand of God hath touched me."
"asv","18","19","22","Why do ye persecute me as God,And are not satisfied with my flesh?"
"asv","18","19","23","Oh that my words were now written!Oh that they were inscribed in a book!"
"asv","18","19","24","That with an iron pen and leadThey were graven in the rock for ever!"
"asv","18","19","25","But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth,And at last he will stand up upon the earth:"
"asv","18","19","26","And after my skin,  even this  body, is destroyed,Then without my flesh shall I see God;"
"asv","18","19","27","Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side,And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.My heart is consumed within me."
"asv","18","19","28","If ye say, How we will persecute him!And that the root of the matter is found in me;"
"asv","18","19","29","Be ye afraid of the sword:For wrath  bringeth the punishments of the sword,That ye may know there is a judgment."
"asv","18","20","1","Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,"
"asv","18","20","2","Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me,Even by reason of my haste that is in me."
"asv","18","20","3","I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame;And the spirit of my understanding answereth me."
"asv","18","20","4","Knowest thou  not this of old time,Since man was placed upon earth,"
"asv","18","20","5","That the triumphing of the wicked is short,And the joy of the godless but for a moment?"
"asv","18","20","6","Though his height mount up to the heavens,And his head reach unto the clouds;"
"asv","18","20","7","Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung:They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?"
"asv","18","20","8","He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night."
"asv","18","20","9","The eye which saw him shall see him no more;Neither shall his place any more behold him."
"asv","18","20","10","His children shall seek the favor of the poor,And his hands shall give back his wealth."
"asv","18","20","11","His bones are full of his youth,But it shall lie down with him in the dust."
"asv","18","20","12","Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,Though he hide it under his tongue,"
"asv","18","20","13","Though he spare it, and will not let it go,But keep it still within his mouth;"
"asv","18","20","14","Yet his food in his bowels is turned,It is the gall of asps within him."
"asv","18","20","15","He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again;God will cast them out of his belly."
"asv","18","20","16","He shall suck the poison of asps:The viper’s tongue shall slay him."
"asv","18","20","17","He shall not look upon the rivers,The flowing streams of honey and butter."
"asv","18","20","18","That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down;According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice."
"asv","18","20","19","For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor;He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up."
"asv","18","20","20","Because he knew no quietness within him,He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth."
"asv","18","20","21","There was nothing left that he devoured not;Therefore his prosperity shall not endure."
"asv","18","20","22","In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him."
"asv","18","20","23","When he is about to fill his belly,  God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him,And will rain it upon him while he is eating."
"asv","18","20","24","He shall flee from the iron weapon,And the bow of brass shall strike him through."
"asv","18","20","25","He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body;Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall:Terrors are upon him."
"asv","18","20","26","All darkness is laid up for his treasures:A fire not blown  by man shall devour him;It shall consume that which is left in his tent."
"asv","18","20","27","The heavens shall reveal his iniquity,And the earth shall rise up against him."
"asv","18","20","28","The increase of his house shall depart; His goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath."
"asv","18","20","29","This is the portion of a wicked man from God,And the heritage appointed unto him by God."
"asv","18","21","1","Then Job answered and said,"
"asv","18","21","2","Hear diligently my speech;And let this be your consolations."
"asv","18","21","3","Suffer me, and I also will speak;And after that I have spoken, mock on."
"asv","18","21","4","As for me, is my complaint to man?And why should I not be impatient?"
"asv","18","21","5","Mark me, and be astonished,And lay your hand upon your mouth."
"asv","18","21","6","Even when I remember I am troubled,And horror taketh hold on my flesh."
"asv","18","21","7","Wherefore do the wicked live,Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?"
"asv","18","21","8","Their seed is established with them in their sight,And their offspring before their eyes."
"asv","18","21","9","Their houses are safe from fear,Neither is the rod of God upon them."
"asv","18","21","10","Their bull gendereth, and faileth not;Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf."
"asv","18","21","11","They send forth their little ones like a flock,And their children dance."
"asv","18","21","12","They sing to the timbrel and harp,And rejoice at the sound of the pipe."
"asv","18","21","13","They spend their days in prosperity,And in a moment they go down to Sheol."
"asv","18","21","14","And they say unto God, Depart from us;For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways."
"asv","18","21","15","What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?"
"asv","18","21","16","Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand:The counsel of the wicked is far from me."
"asv","18","21","17","How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?That their calamity cometh upon them?That  God distributeth sorrows in his anger?"
"asv","18","21","18","That they are as stubble before the wind,And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?"
"asv","18","21","19"," Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children.Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:"
"asv","18","21","20","Let his own eyes see his destruction,And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty."
"asv","18","21","21","For what careth he for his house after him,When the number of his months is cut off?"
"asv","18","21","22","Shall any teach God knowledge,Seeing he judgeth those that are high?"
"asv","18","21","23","One dieth in his full strength,Being wholly at ease and quiet:"
"asv","18","21","24","His pails are full of milk,And the marrow of his bones is moistened."
"asv","18","21","25","And another dieth in bitterness of soul,And never tasteth of good."
"asv","18","21","26","They lie down alike in the dust,And the worm covereth them."
"asv","18","21","27","Behold, I know your thoughts,And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me."
"asv","18","21","28","For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?"
"asv","18","21","29","Have ye not asked wayfaring men?And do ye not know their evidences,"
"asv","18","21","30","That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity?That they are led forth to the day of wrath?"
"asv","18","21","31","Who shall declare his way to his face?And who shall repay him what he hath done?"
"asv","18","21","32","Yet shall he be borne to the grave,And men shall keep watch over the tomb."
"asv","18","21","33","The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him,And all men shall draw after him,As there were innumerable before him."
"asv","18","21","34","How then comfort ye me in vain,Seeing in your answers there remaineth  only falsehood?"
"asv","18","22","1","Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,"
"asv","18","22","2","Can a man be profitable unto God?Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself."
"asv","18","22","3","Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?Or is it gain  to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?"
"asv","18","22","4","Is it for thy fear  of him that he reproveth thee,That he entereth with thee into judgment?"
"asv","18","22","5","Is not thy wickedness great?Neither is there any end to thine iniquities."
"asv","18","22","6","For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought,And stripped the naked of their clothing."
"asv","18","22","7","Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink,And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry."
"asv","18","22","8","But as for the mighty man, he had the earth;And the honorable man, he dwelt in it."
"asv","18","22","9","Thou hast sent widows away empty,And the arms of the fatherless have been broken."
"asv","18","22","10","Therefore snares are round about thee,And sudden fear troubleth thee,"
"asv","18","22","11","Or darkness, so that thou canst not see,And abundance of waters cover thee."
"asv","18","22","12","Is not God in the height of heaven?And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!"
"asv","18","22","13","And thou sayest, What doth God know?Can he judge through the thick darkness?"
"asv","18","22","14","Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not;And he walketh on the vault of heaven."
"asv","18","22","15","Wilt thou keep the old wayWhich wicked men have trodden?"
"asv","18","22","16","Who were snatched away before their time,Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,"
"asv","18","22","17","Who said unto God, Depart from us;And, What can the Almighty do for us?"
"asv","18","22","18","Yet he filled their houses with good things:But the counsel of the wicked is far from me."
"asv","18","22","19","The righteous see it, and are glad;And the innocent laugh them to scorn,"
"asv","18","22","20"," Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off,And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed."
"asv","18","22","21","Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:Thereby good shall come unto thee."
"asv","18","22","22","Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth,And lay up his words in thy heart."
"asv","18","22","23","If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents."
"asv","18","22","24","And lay thou  thy treasure in the dust,And  the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;"
"asv","18","22","25","And the Almighty will be thy treasure,And precious silver unto thee."
"asv","18","22","26","For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty,And shalt lift up thy face unto God."
"asv","18","22","27","Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee;And thou shalt pay thy vows."
"asv","18","22","28","Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee;And light shall shine upon thy ways."
"asv","18","22","29","When they cast  thee down, thou shalt say,  There is  lifting up;And the humble person he will save."
"asv","18","22","30","He will deliver  even him that is not innocent:Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands."
"asv","18","23","1","Then Job answered and said,"
"asv","18","23","2","Even to-day is my complaint rebellious:My stroke is heavier than my groaning."
"asv","18","23","3","Oh that I knew where I might find him!That I might come even to his seat!"
"asv","18","23","4","I would set my cause in order before him,And fill my mouth with arguments."
"asv","18","23","5","I would know the words which he would answer me,And understand what he would say unto me."
"asv","18","23","6","Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?Nay; but he would give heed unto me."
"asv","18","23","7","There the upright might reason with him;So should I be delivered for ever from my judge."
"asv","18","23","8","Behold, I go forward, but he is not  there;And backward, but I cannot perceive him;"
"asv","18","23","9","On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him;He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him."
"asv","18","23","10","But he knoweth the way that I take;When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
"asv","18","23","11","My foot hath held fast to his steps;His way have I kept, and turned not aside."
"asv","18","23","12","I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips;I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food."
"asv","18","23","13","But he is in one  mind, and who can turn him?And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth."
"asv","18","23","14","For he performeth that which is appointed for me:And many such things are with him."
"asv","18","23","15","Therefore am I terrified at his presence;When I consider, I am afraid of him."
"asv","18","23","16","For God hath made my heart faint,And the Almighty hath terrified me;"
"asv","18","23","17","Because I was not cut off before the darkness,Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face."
"asv","18","24","1","Why are times not laid up by the Almighty?And why do not they that know him see his days?"
"asv","18","24","2","There are that remove the landmarks;They violently take away flocks, and feed them."
"asv","18","24","3","They drive away the ass of the fatherless;They take the widow’s ox for a pledge."
"asv","18","24","4","They turn the needy out of the way:The poor of the earth all hide themselves."
"asv","18","24","5","Behold, as wild asses in the desertThey go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food;The wilderness  yieldeth them bread for their children."
"asv","18","24","6","They cut their provender in the field;And they glean the vintage of the wicked."
"asv","18","24","7","They lie all night naked without clothing,And have no covering in the cold."
"asv","18","24","8","They are wet with the showers of the mountains,And embrace the rock for want of a shelter."
"asv","18","24","9","There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast,And take a pledge of the poor;"
"asv","18","24","10"," So that they go about naked without clothing,And being hungry they carry the sheaves."
"asv","18","24","11","They make oil within the walls of these men;They tread  their winepresses, and suffer thirst."
"asv","18","24","12","From out of the populous city men groan,And the soul of the wounded crieth out:Yet God regardeth not the folly."
"asv","18","24","13","These are of them that rebel against the light;They know not the ways thereof,Nor abide in the paths thereof."
"asv","18","24","14","The murderer riseth with the light;He killeth the poor and needy;And in the night he is as a thief."
"asv","18","24","15","The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,Saying, No eye shall see me:And he disguiseth his face."
"asv","18","24","16","In the dark they dig through houses:They shut themselves up in the day-time;They know not the light."
"asv","18","24","17","For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness;For they know the terrors of the thick darkness."
"asv","18","24","18","Swiftly they  pass away upon the face of the waters;Their portion is cursed in the earth:They turn not into the way of the vineyards."
"asv","18","24","19","Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So doth Sheol  those that have sinned."
"asv","18","24","20","The womb shall forget him;The worm shall feed sweetly on him;He shall be no more remembered;And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree."
"asv","18","24","21","He devoureth the barren that beareth not,And doeth not good to the widow."
"asv","18","24","22","Yet  God preserveth the mighty by his power:He riseth up that hath no assurance of life."
"asv","18","24","23"," God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon;And his eyes are upon their ways."
"asv","18","24","24","They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone;Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others,And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain."
"asv","18","24","25","And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar,And make my speech nothing worth?"
"asv","18","25","1","Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,"
"asv","18","25","2","Dominion and fear are with him;He maketh peace in his high places."
"asv","18","25","3","Is there any number of his armies?And upon whom doth not his light arise?"
"asv","18","25","4","How then can man be just with God?Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?"
"asv","18","25","5","Behold, even the moon hath no brightness,And the stars are not pure in his sight:"
"asv","18","25","6","How much less man, that is a worm!And the son of man, that is a worm!"
"asv","18","26","1","Then Job answered and said,"
"asv","18","26","2","How hast thou helped him that is without power!How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!"
"asv","18","26","3","How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom,And plentifully declared sound knowledge!"
"asv","18","26","4","To whom hast thou uttered words?And whose spirit came forth from thee?"
"asv","18","26","5","They that are deceased trembleBeneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof."
"asv","18","26","6","Sheol is naked before  God,And Abaddon hath no covering."
"asv","18","26","7","He stretcheth out the north over empty space,And hangeth the earth upon nothing."
"asv","18","26","8","He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;And the cloud is not rent under them."
"asv","18","26","9","He incloseth the face of his throne,And spreadeth his cloud upon it."
"asv","18","26","10","He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters,Unto the confines of light and darkness."
"asv","18","26","11","The pillars of heaven trembleAnd are astonished at his rebuke."
"asv","18","26","12","He stirreth up the sea with his power,And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab."
"asv","18","26","13","By his Spirit the heavens are garnished;His hand hath pierced the swift serpent."
"asv","18","26","14","Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways:And how small a whisper do we hear of him!But the thunder of his power who can understand?"
"asv","18","27","1","And Job again took up his parable, and said,"
"asv","18","27","2","As God liveth, who hath taken away my right,And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:"
"asv","18","27","3","(For my life is yet whole in me,And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);"
"asv","18","27","4","Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness,Neither shall my tongue utter deceit."
"asv","18","27","5","Far be it from me that I should justify you:Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me."
"asv","18","27","6","My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:My heart shall not reproach  me so long as I live."
"asv","18","27","7","Let mine enemy be as the wicked,And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous."
"asv","18","27","8","For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain,When God taketh away his soul?"
"asv","18","27","9","Will God hear his cry,When trouble cometh upon him?"
"asv","18","27","10","Will he delight himself in the Almighty,And call upon God at all times?"
"asv","18","27","11","I will teach you concerning the hand of God;That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal."
"asv","18","27","12","Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;Why then are ye become altogether vain?"
"asv","18","27","13","This is the portion of a wicked man with God,And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:"
"asv","18","27","14","If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword;And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread."
"asv","18","27","15","Those that remain of him shall be buried in death,And his widows shall make no lamentation."
"asv","18","27","16","Though he heap up silver as the dust,And prepare raiment as the clay;"
"asv","18","27","17","He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,And the innocent shall divide the silver."
"asv","18","27","18","He buildeth his house as the moth,And as a booth which the keeper maketh."
"asv","18","27","19","He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered  to his fathers;He openeth his eyes, and he is not."
"asv","18","27","20","Terrors overtake him like waters;A tempest stealeth him away in the night."
"asv","18","27","21","The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth;And it sweepeth him out of his place."
"asv","18","27","22","For  God shall hurl at him, and not spare:He would fain flee out of his hand."
"asv","18","27","23","Men shall clap their hands at him,And shall hiss him out of his place."
"asv","18","28","1","Surely there is a mine for silver,And a place for gold which they refine."
"asv","18","28","2","Iron is taken out of the earth,And copper is molten out of the stone."
"asv","18","28","3"," Man setteth an end to darkness,And searcheth out, to the furthest bound,The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness."
"asv","18","28","4","He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn;They are forgotten of the foot;They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro."
"asv","18","28","5","As for the earth, out of it cometh bread;And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire."
"asv","18","28","6","The stones thereof are the place of sapphires,And it hath dust of gold."
"asv","18","28","7","That path no bird of prey knoweth,Neither hath the falcon’s eye seen it:"
"asv","18","28","8","The proud beasts have not trodden it,Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby."
"asv","18","28","9","He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock;He overturneth the mountains by the roots."
"asv","18","28","10","He cutteth out channels among the rocks;And his eye seeth every precious thing."
"asv","18","28","11","He bindeth the streams that they trickle not;And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light."
"asv","18","28","12","But where shall wisdom be found?And where is the place of understanding?"
"asv","18","28","13","Man knoweth not the price thereof;Neither is it found in the land of the living."
"asv","18","28","14","The deep saith, It is not in me;And the sea saith, It is not with me."
"asv","18","28","15","It cannot be gotten for gold,Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof."
"asv","18","28","16","It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir,With the precious onyx, or the sapphire."
"asv","18","28","17","Gold and glass cannot equal it,Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold."
"asv","18","28","18","No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal:Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies."
"asv","18","28","19","The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it,Neither shall it be valued with pure gold."
"asv","18","28","20","Whence then cometh wisdom?And where is the place of understanding?"
"asv","18","28","21","Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living,And kept close from the birds of the heavens."
"asv","18","28","22","Destruction and Death say,We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears."
"asv","18","28","23","God understandeth the way thereof,And he knoweth the place thereof."
"asv","18","28","24","For he looketh to the ends of the earth,And seeth under the whole heaven;"
"asv","18","28","25","To make a weight for the wind:Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure."
"asv","18","28","26","When he made a decree for the rain,And a way for the lightning of the thunder;"
"asv","18","28","27","Then did he see it, and declare it;He established it, yea, and searched it out."
"asv","18","28","28","And unto man he said,Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;And to depart from evil is understanding."
"asv","18","29","1","And Job again took up his parable, and said,"
"asv","18","29","2","Oh that I were as in the months of old,As in the days when God watched over me;"
"asv","18","29","3","When his lamp shined upon my head,And by his light I walked through darkness;"
"asv","18","29","4","As I was in the ripeness of my days,When the friendship of God was upon my tent;"
"asv","18","29","5","When the Almighty was yet with me,And my children were about me;"
"asv","18","29","6","When my steps were washed with butter,And the rock poured me out streams of oil!"
"asv","18","29","7","When I went forth to the gate unto the city,When I prepared my seat in the street,"
"asv","18","29","8","The young men saw me and hid themselves,And the aged rose up and stood;"
"asv","18","29","9","The princes refrained from talking,And laid their hand on their mouth;"
"asv","18","29","10","The voice of the nobles was hushed,And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth."
"asv","18","29","11","For when the ear heard  me, then it blessed me;And when the eye saw  me, it gave witness unto me:"
"asv","18","29","12","Because I delivered the poor that cried,The fatherless also, that had none to help him."
"asv","18","29","13","The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me;And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy."
"asv","18","29","14","I put on righteousness, and it clothed me:My justice was as a robe and a diadem."
"asv","18","29","15","I was eyes to the blind,And feet was I to the lame."
"asv","18","29","16","I was a father to the needy:And the cause of him that I knew not I searched out."
"asv","18","29","17","And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous,And plucked the prey out of his teeth."
"asv","18","29","18","Then I said, I shall die in my nest,And I shall multiply my days as the sand:"
"asv","18","29","19","My root is spread out to the waters,And the dew lieth all night upon my branch;"
"asv","18","29","20","My glory is fresh in me,And my bow is renewed in my hand."
"asv","18","29","21","Unto me men gave ear, and waited,And kept silence for my counsel."
"asv","18","29","22","After my words they spake not again;And my speech distilled upon them."
"asv","18","29","23","And they waited for me as for the rain;And they opened their mouth wide  as for the latter rain."
"asv","18","29","24","I smiled on them, when they had no confidence;And the light of my countenance they cast not down."
"asv","18","29","25","I chose out their way, and sat  as chief,And dwelt as a king in the army,As one that comforteth the mourners."
"asv","18","30","1","But now they that are younger than I have me in derision,Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock."
"asv","18","30","2","Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me?Men in whom ripe age is perished."
"asv","18","30","3","They are gaunt with want and famine;They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation."
"asv","18","30","4","They pluck salt-wort by the bushes;And the roots of the broom are their food."
"asv","18","30","5","They are driven forth from the midst  of men;They cry after them as after a thief;"
"asv","18","30","6","So that they dwell in frightful valleys,In holes of the earth and of the rocks."
"asv","18","30","7","Among the bushes they bray;Under the nettles they are gathered together."
"asv","18","30","8"," They are children of fools, yea, children of base men;They were scourged out of the land."
"asv","18","30","9","And now I am become their song,Yea, I am a byword unto them."
"asv","18","30","10","They abhor me, they stand aloof from me,And spare not to spit in my face."
"asv","18","30","11","For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me;And they have cast off the bridle before me."
"asv","18","30","12","Upon my right hand rise the rabble;They thrust aside my feet,And they cast up against me their ways of destruction."
"asv","18","30","13","They mar my path,They set forward my calamity, Even men that have no helper."
"asv","18","30","14","As through a wide breach they come:In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves  upon me."
"asv","18","30","15","Terrors are turned upon me;They chase mine honor as the wind;And my welfare is passed away as a cloud."
"asv","18","30","16","And now my soul is poured out within me;Days of affliction have taken hold upon me."
"asv","18","30","17","In the night season my bones are pierced in me,And the  pains that gnaw me take no rest."
"asv","18","30","18","By  God’s great force is my garment disfigured;It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat."
"asv","18","30","19","He hath cast me into the mire,And I am become like dust and ashes."
"asv","18","30","20","I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me:I stand up, and thou gazest at me."
"asv","18","30","21","Thou art turned to be cruel to me;With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me."
"asv","18","30","22","Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride  upon it;And thou dissolvest me in the storm."
"asv","18","30","23","For I know that thou wilt bring me to death,And to the house appointed for all living."
"asv","18","30","24","Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall?Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?"
"asv","18","30","25","Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?Was not my soul grieved for the needy?"
"asv","18","30","26","When I looked for good, then evil came;And when I waited for light, there came darkness."
"asv","18","30","27","My heart is troubled, and resteth not;Days of affliction are come upon me."
"asv","18","30","28","I go mourning without the sun:I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help."
"asv","18","30","29","I am a brother to jackals,And a companion to ostriches."
"asv","18","30","30","My skin is black,  and falleth from me,And my bones are burned with heat."
"asv","18","30","31","Therefore is my harp  turned to mourning,And my pipe into the voice of them that weep."
"asv","18","31","1","I made a covenant with mine eyes;How then should I look upon a virgin?"
"asv","18","31","2","For what is the portion from God above,And the heritage from the Almighty on high?"
"asv","18","31","3","Is it not calamity to the unrighteous,And disaster to the workers of iniquity?"
"asv","18","31","4","Doth not he see my ways,And number all my steps?"
"asv","18","31","5","If I have walked with falsehood,And my foot hath hasted to deceit"
"asv","18","31","6","(Let me be weighed in an even balance,That God may know mine integrity);"
"asv","18","31","7","If my step hath turned out of the way,And my heart walked after mine eyes,And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:"
"asv","18","31","8","Then let me sow, and let another eat;Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out."
"asv","18","31","9","If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman,And I have laid wait at my neighbor’s door;"
"asv","18","31","10","Then let my wife grind unto another,And let others bow down upon her."
"asv","18","31","11","For that were a heinous crime;Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:"
"asv","18","31","12","For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction,And would root out all mine increase."
"asv","18","31","13","If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant,When they contended with me;"
"asv","18","31","14","What then shall I do when God riseth up?And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?"
"asv","18","31","15","Did not he that made me in the womb make him?And did not one fashion us in the womb?"
"asv","18","31","16","If I have withheld the poor from  their desire,Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,"
"asv","18","31","17","Or have eaten my morsel alone,And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof"
"asv","18","31","18","(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father,And her have I guided from my mother’s womb);"
"asv","18","31","19","If I have seen any perish for want of clothing,Or that the needy had no covering;"
"asv","18","31","20","If his loins have not blessed me,And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;"
"asv","18","31","21","If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,Because I saw my help in the gate:"
"asv","18","31","22","Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade,And mine arm be broken from the bone."
"asv","18","31","23","For calamity from God is a terror to me,And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing."
"asv","18","31","24","If I have made gold my hope,And have said to the fine gold,  Thou art my confidence;"
"asv","18","31","25","If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,And because my hand had gotten much;"
"asv","18","31","26","If I have beheld the sun when it shined,Or the moon walking in brightness,"
"asv","18","31","27","And my heart hath been secretly enticed,And my mouth hath kissed my hand:"
"asv","18","31","28","This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges;For I should have denied the God that is above."
"asv","18","31","29","If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,Or lifted up myself when evil found him;"
"asv","18","31","30","(Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sinBy asking his life with a curse);"
"asv","18","31","31","If the men of my tent have not said,Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?"
"asv","18","31","32","(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street;But I have opened my doors to the traveller);"
"asv","18","31","33","If like Adam I have covered my transgressions,By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,"
"asv","18","31","34","Because I feared the great multitude,And the contempt of families terrified me,So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door—"
"asv","18","31","35","Oh that I had one to hear me!(Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me);And  that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!"
"asv","18","31","36","Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder;I would bind it unto me as a crown:"
"asv","18","31","37","I would declare unto him the number of my steps;As a prince would I go near unto him."
"asv","18","31","38","If my land crieth out against me,And the furrows thereof weep together;"
"asv","18","31","39","If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money,Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:"
"asv","18","31","40","Let thistles grow instead of wheat,And cockle instead of barley."
"asv","18","32","1","So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes."
"asv","18","32","2","Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God."
"asv","18","32","3","Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job."
"asv","18","32","4","Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he."
"asv","18","32","5","And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled."
"asv","18","32","6","And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,I am young, and ye are very old;Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion."
"asv","18","32","7","I said, Days should speak,And multitude of years should teach wisdom."
"asv","18","32","8","But there is a spirit in man,And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding."
"asv","18","32","9","It is not the great that are wise,Nor the aged that understand justice."
"asv","18","32","10","Therefore I said, Hearken to me;I also will show mine opinion."
"asv","18","32","11","Behold, I waited for your words,I listened for your reasonings,Whilst ye searched out what to say."
"asv","18","32","12","Yea, I attended unto you,And, behold, there was none that convinced Job,Or that answered his words, among you."
"asv","18","32","13","Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom;God may vanquish him, not man:"
"asv","18","32","14","For he hath not directed his words against me;Neither will I answer him with your speeches."
"asv","18","32","15","They are amazed, they answer no more:They have not a word to say."
"asv","18","32","16","And shall I wait, because they speak not,Because they stand still, and answer no more?"
"asv","18","32","17","I also will answer my part,I also will show mine opinion."
"asv","18","32","18","For I am full of words;The spirit within me constraineth me."
"asv","18","32","19","Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent;Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst."
"asv","18","32","20","I will speak, that I may be refreshed;I will open my lips and answer."
"asv","18","32","21","Let me not, I pray you, respect any man’s person;Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man."
"asv","18","32","22","For I know not to give flattering titles; Else would my Maker soon take me away."

"asv","18","33","13","Why dost thou strive against him,For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?"
"asv","18","33","14","For God speaketh once,Yea twice,  though man regardeth it not."
"asv","18","33","15","In a dream, in a vision of the night,When deep sleep falleth upon men,In slumberings upon the bed;"
"asv","18","33","16","Then he openeth the ears of men,And sealeth their instruction,"
"asv","18","33","17","That he may withdraw man  from his purpose,And hide pride from man;"
"asv","18","33","18","He keepeth back his soul from the pit,And his life from perishing by the sword."
"asv","18","33","19","He is chastened also with pain upon his bed,And with continual strife in his bones;"
"asv","18","33","20","So that his life abhorreth bread,And his soul dainty food."
"asv","18","33","21","His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen;And his bones that were not seen stick out."
"asv","18","33","22","Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit,And his life to the destroyers."
"asv","18","33","23","If there be with him an angel,An interpreter, one among a thousand,To show unto man what is right for him;"
"asv","18","33","24","Then  God is gracious unto him, and saith,Deliver him from going down to the pit,I have found a ransom."
"asv","18","33","25","His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s;He returneth to the days of his youth."
"asv","18","33","26","He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him,So that he seeth his face with joy:And he restoreth unto man his righteousness."
"asv","18","33","27","He singeth before men, and saith,I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,And it profited me not:"
"asv","18","33","28","He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit,And my life shall behold the light."
"asv","18","33","29","Lo, all these things doth God work,Twice,  yea thrice, with a man,"
"asv","18","33","30","To bring back his soul from the pit,That he may be enlightened with the light of the living."
"asv","18","33","31","Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me:Hold thy peace, and I will speak."
"asv","18","33","32","If thou hast anything to say, answer me:Speak, for I desire to justify thee."
"asv","18","33","33","If not, hearken thou unto me:Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom."
"asv","18","34","1","Moreover Elihu answered and said,"
"asv","18","34","2","Hear my words, ye wise men;And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge."
"asv","18","34","3","For the ear trieth words,As the palate tasteth food."
"asv","18","34","4","Let us choose for us that which is right:Let us know among ourselves what is good."
"asv","18","34","5","For Job hath said, I am righteous,And God hath taken away my right:"
"asv","18","34","6","Notwithstanding my right I am  accounted a liar;My wound is incurable,  though I am without transgression."
"asv","18","34","7","What man is like Job,Who drinketh up scoffing like water,"
"asv","18","34","8","Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,And walketh with wicked men?"
"asv","18","34","9","For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothingThat he should delight himself with God."
"asv","18","34","10","Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity."
"asv","18","34","11","For the work of a man will he render unto him,And cause every man to find according to his ways."
"asv","18","34","12","Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly,Neither will the Almighty pervert justice."
"asv","18","34","13","Who gave him a charge over the earth?Or who hath disposed the whole world?"
"asv","18","34","14","If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;"
"asv","18","34","15","All flesh shall perish together,And man shall turn again unto dust."
"asv","18","34","16","If now  thou hast understanding, hear this:Hearken to the voice of my words."
"asv","18","34","17","Shall even one that hateth justice govern?And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous  and mighty?—"
"asv","18","34","18"," Him that saith to a king,  Thou art vile, Or to nobles,  Ye are wicked;"
"asv","18","34","19","That respecteth not the persons of princes,Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor;For they all are the work of his hands."
"asv","18","34","20","In a moment they die, even at midnight;The people are shaken and pass away,And the mighty are taken away without hand."
"asv","18","34","21","For his eyes are upon the ways of a man,And he seeth all his goings."
"asv","18","34","22","There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves."
"asv","18","34","23","For he needeth not further to consider a man,That he should go before God in judgment."
"asv","18","34","24","He breaketh in pieces mighty men  in ways past finding out,And setteth others in their stead."
"asv","18","34","25","Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works;And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed."
"asv","18","34","26","He striketh them as wicked menIn the open sight of others;"
"asv","18","34","27","Because they turned aside from following him,And would not have regard in any of his ways:"
"asv","18","34","28","So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him,And he heard the cry of the afflicted."
"asv","18","34","29","When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn?And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?Alike whether  it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:"
"asv","18","34","30","That the godless man reign not,That there be none to ensnare the people."
"asv","18","34","31","For hath any said unto God,I have borne  chastisement, I will not offend  any more:"
"asv","18","34","32","That which I see not teach thou me:If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?"
"asv","18","34","33","Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it?For thou must choose, and not I:Therefore speak what thou knowest."
"asv","18","34","34","Men of understanding will say unto me,Yea, every wise man that heareth me:"
"asv","18","34","35","Job speaketh without knowledge,And his words are without wisdom."
"asv","18","34","36","Would that Job were tried unto the end,Because of his answering like wicked men."
"asv","18","34","37","For he addeth rebellion unto his sin;He clappeth his hands among us,And multiplieth his words against God."
"asv","18","35","1","Moreover Elihu answered and said,"
"asv","18","35","2","Thinkest thou this to be  thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s,"
"asv","18","35","3","That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?"
"asv","18","35","4","I will answer thee,And thy companions with thee."
"asv","18","35","5","Look unto the heavens, and see;And behold the skies, which are higher than thou."
"asv","18","35","6","If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him?And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?"
"asv","18","35","7","If thou be righteous, what givest thou him?Or what receiveth he of thy hand?"
"asv","18","35","8","Thy wickedness  may hurt a man as thou art;And thy righteousness  may profit a son of man."
"asv","18","35","9","By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty."
"asv","18","35","10","But none saith, Where is God my Maker,Who giveth songs in the night,"
"asv","18","35","11","Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?"
"asv","18","35","12","There they cry, but none giveth answer,Because of the pride of evil men."
"asv","18","35","13","Surely God will not hear an empty  cry,Neither will the Almighty regard it."
"asv","18","35","14","How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not,The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!"
"asv","18","35","15","But now, because he hath not visited in his anger,Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;"
"asv","18","35","16","Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity;He multiplieth words without knowledge."
"asv","18","36","1","Elihu also proceeded, and said,"
"asv","18","36","2","Suffer me a little, and I will show thee;For I have yet somewhat to say on God’s behalf."
"asv","18","36","3","I will fetch my knowledge from afar,And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker."
"asv","18","36","4","For truly my words are not false:One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee."
"asv","18","36","5","Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:He is mighty in strength of understanding."
"asv","18","36","6","He preserveth not the life of the wicked,But giveth to the afflicted  their right."
"asv","18","36","7","He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:But with kings upon the throneHe setteth them for ever, and they are exalted."
"asv","18","36","8","And if they be bound in fetters,And be taken in the cords of afflictions;"
"asv","18","36","9","Then he showeth them their work,And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly."
"asv","18","36","10","He openeth also their ear to instruction,And commandeth that they return from iniquity."
"asv","18","36","11","If they hearken and serve  him,They shall spend their days in prosperity,And their years in pleasures."
"asv","18","36","12","But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword,And they shall die without knowledge."
"asv","18","36","13","But they that are godless in heart lay up anger:They cry not for help when he bindeth them."
"asv","18","36","14","They die in youth,And their life  perisheth among the unclean."
"asv","18","36","15","He delivereth the afflicted by their affliction,And openeth their ear in oppression."
"asv","18","36","16","Yea, he would have allured thee out of distressInto a broad place, where there is no straitness;And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness."
"asv","18","36","17","But thou art full of the judgment of the wicked:Judgment and justice take hold  on thee."
"asv","18","36","18","For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements;Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside."
"asv","18","36","19","Will thy cry avail,  that thou be not in distress,Or all the forces of  thy strength?"
"asv","18","36","20","Desire not the night,When peoples are cut off in their place."
"asv","18","36","21","Take heed, regard not iniquity:For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction."
"asv","18","36","22","Behold, God doeth loftily in his power:Who is a teacher like unto him?"
"asv","18","36","23","Who hath enjoined him his way?Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?"
"asv","18","36","24","Remember that thou magnify his work,Whereof men have sung."
"asv","18","36","25","All men have looked thereon;Man beholdeth it afar off."
"asv","18","36","26","Behold, God is great, and we know him not;The number of his years is unsearchable."
"asv","18","36","27","For he draweth up the drops of water,Which distil in rain from his vapor,"
"asv","18","36","28","Which the skies pour downAnd drop upon man abundantly."
"asv","18","36","29","Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,The thunderings of his pavilion?"
"asv","18","36","30","Behold, he spreadeth his light around him;And he covereth the bottom of the sea."
"asv","18","36","31","For by these he judgeth the peoples;He giveth food in abundance."
"asv","18","36","32","He covereth his hands with the lightning,And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark."
"asv","18","36","33","The noise thereof telleth concerning him,The cattle also concerning  the storm that cometh up."
"asv","18","37","1","Yea, at this my heart trembleth,And is moved out of its place."
"asv","18","37","2","Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,And the sound that goeth out of his mouth."
"asv","18","37","3","He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven,And his lightening unto the ends of the earth."
"asv","18","37","4","After it a voice roareth;He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;And he restraineth not  the lightnings when his voice is heard."
"asv","18","37","5","God thundereth marvellously with his voice;Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend."
"asv","18","37","6","For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth;Likewise to the shower of rain,And to the showers of his mighty rain."
"asv","18","37","7","He sealeth up the hand of every man,That all men whom he hath made may know  it."
"asv","18","37","8","Then the beasts go into coverts,And remain in their dens."
"asv","18","37","9","Out of the chamber  of the south cometh the storm,And cold out of the north."
"asv","18","37","10","By the breath of God ice is given;And the breadth of the waters is straitened."
"asv","18","37","11","Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture;He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:"
"asv","18","37","12","And it is turned round about by his guidance,That they may do whatsoever he commandeth themUpon the face of the habitable world,"
"asv","18","37","13","Whether it be for correction, or for his land,Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come."
"asv","18","37","14","Hearken unto this, O Job:Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God."
"asv","18","37","15","Dost thou know how God layeth  his charge upon them,And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?"
"asv","18","37","16","Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?"
"asv","18","37","17","How thy garments are warm,When the earth is still by reason of the south  wind?"
"asv","18","37","18","Canst thou with him spread out the sky,Which is strong as a molten mirror?"
"asv","18","37","19","Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set  our speech in order by reason of darkness."
"asv","18","37","20","Shall it be told him that I would speak?Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?"
"asv","18","37","21","And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies;But the wind passeth, and cleareth them."
"asv","18","37","22","Out of the north cometh golden splendor:God hath upon him terrible majesty."
"asv","18","37","23"," Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him outHe is excellent in power;And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict."

"asv","18","42","8","Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath."
"asv","18","42","9","So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job."

"asv","18","42","12","So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses."
"asv","18","42","13","He had also seven sons and three daughters."
"asv","18","42","14","And he called the name of the first, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch."

"asv","19","78","58","For they provoked him to anger with their high places,And moved him to jealousy with their graven images."
"asv","19","78","59","When God heard  this, he was wroth,And greatly abhorred Israel;"
"asv","19","78","60","So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,The tent which he placed among men;"
"asv","19","78","61","And delivered his strength into captivity,And his glory into the adversary’s hand."
"asv","19","78","62","He gave his people over also unto the sword,And was wroth with his inheritance."
"asv","19","78","63","Fire devoured their young men;And their virgins had no marriage-song."
"asv","19","78","64","Their priests fell by the sword;And their widows made no lamentation."

"asv","19","78","66","And he smote his adversaries backward:He put them to a perpetual reproach."
"asv","19","78","67","Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph,And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,"

"asv","21","2","20","Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun."
"asv","21","2","21","For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil."
"asv","21","2","22","For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?"
"asv","21","2","23","For all his days are  but sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity."
"asv","21","2","24","There is nothing better for a man  than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God."
"asv","21","2","25","For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?"
"asv","21","2","26","For to the man that pleaseth him  God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind."
"asv","21","3","1","For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:"
"asv","21","3","2","a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"
"asv","21","3","3","a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;"
"asv","21","3","4","a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;"
"asv","21","3","5","a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;"
"asv","21","3","6","a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;"
"asv","21","3","7","a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;"
"asv","21","3","8","a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace."
"asv","21","3","9","What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth?"
"asv","21","3","10","I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith."
"asv","21","3","11","He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end."
"asv","21","3","12","I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live."
"asv","21","3","13","And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God."
"asv","21","3","14","I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him."
"asv","21","3","15","That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away."
"asv","21","3","16","And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there."
"asv","21","3","17","I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."
"asv","21","3","18","I said in my heart,  It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are  but as  beasts."
"asv","21","3","19","For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity."
"asv","21","3","20","All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."
"asv","21","3","21","Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth?"
"asv","21","3","22","Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?"
"asv","21","4","1","Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter."
"asv","21","4","2","Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;"
"asv","21","4","3","yea, better than them both  did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun."
"asv","21","4","4","Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind."
"asv","21","4","5","The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh."
"asv","21","4","6","Better is a handful, with quietness, than two handfuls with labor and striving after wind."
"asv","21","4","7","Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun."
"asv","21","4","8","There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then,  saith he, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail."
"asv","21","4","9","Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor."
"asv","21","4","10","For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up."
"asv","21","4","11","Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm  alone?"
"asv","21","4","12","And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
"asv","21","4","13","Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more."
"asv","21","4","14","For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor."
"asv","21","4","15","I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead."
"asv","21","4","16","There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind."
"asv","21","5","1","Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil."
"asv","21","5","2","Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few."
"asv","21","5","3","For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool’s voice with a multitude of words."
"asv","21","5","4","When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest."
"asv","21","5","5","Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay."
"asv","21","5","6","Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that is was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?"
"asv","21","5","7","For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God."
"asv","21","5","8","If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there are higher than they."
"asv","21","5","9","Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king  himself  is served by the field."
"asv","21","5","10","He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity."
"asv","21","5","11","When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding  of them  with his eyes?"
"asv","21","5","12","The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep."
"asv","21","5","13","There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun,  namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt:"
"asv","21","5","14","and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand."
"asv","21","5","15","As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand."
"asv","21","5","16","And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboreth for the wind?"
"asv","21","5","17","All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed, and hath sickness and wrath."
"asv","21","5","18","Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this is his portion."
"asv","21","5","19","Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God."
"asv","21","5","20","For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth  him in the joy of his heart."
"asv","21","6","1","There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men:"
"asv","21","6","2","a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease."
"asv","21","6","3","If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:"
"asv","21","6","4","for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;"
"asv","21","6","5","moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:"
"asv","21","6","6","yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?"
"asv","21","6","7","All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled."
"asv","21","6","8","For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool?  or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?"
"asv","21","6","9","Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind."
"asv","21","6","10","Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he."
"asv","21","6","11","Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?"
"asv","21","6","12","For who knoweth what is good for man in  his life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?"
"asv","21","7","1","A  good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one’s birth."
"asv","21","7","2","It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart."
"asv","21","7","3","Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made glad."
"asv","21","7","4","The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth."
"asv","21","7","5","It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools."
"asv","21","7","6","For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity."
"asv","21","7","7","Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyeth the understanding."
"asv","21","7","8","Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof;  and  the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
"asv","21","7","9","Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in the bosom of fools."
"asv","21","7","10","Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this."
"asv","21","7","11","Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun."
"asv","21","7","12","For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it."
"asv","21","7","13","Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?"
"asv","21","7","14","In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything  that shall be after him."
"asv","21","7","15","All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing."
"asv","21","7","16","Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?"
"asv","21","7","17","Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?"
"asv","21","7","18","It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all."
"asv","21","7","19","Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city."
"asv","21","7","20","Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
"asv","21","7","21","Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee;"
"asv","21","7","22","for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others."
"asv","21","7","23","All this have I proved in wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me."
"asv","21","7","24","That which is, is far off and exceeding deep; who can find it out?"
"asv","21","7","25","I turned about, and my heart  was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason  of things, and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness."
"asv","21","7","26","And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets,  and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her."
"asv","21","7","27","Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher,  laying one thing to another, to find out the account;"
"asv","21","7","28","which my soul still seeketh, but I have not found: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found."
"asv","21","7","29","Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."
"asv","21","8","1","Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed."
"asv","21","8","2","I  counsel thee, Keep the king’s command, and that in regard of the oath of God."
"asv","21","8","3","Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him."
"asv","21","8","4","For the king’s word  hath power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?"
"asv","21","8","5","Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment:"
"asv","21","8","6","for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:"
"asv","21","8","7","for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?"
"asv","21","8","8","There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it."
"asv","21","8","9","All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun:  there is a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt."
"asv","21","8","10","So I saw the wicked buried, and they came  to the grave; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity."
"asv","21","8","11","Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."
"asv","21","8","12","Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his  days, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before him:"
"asv","21","8","13","but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days,  which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God."
"asv","21","8","14","There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity."
"asv","21","8","15","Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor  all the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun."
"asv","21","8","16","When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),"
"asv","21","8","17","then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it."
"asv","21","9","1","For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all is before them."
"asv","21","9","2","All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath."
"asv","21","9","3","This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that  they go  to the dead."
"asv","21","9","4","For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion."
"asv","21","9","5","For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
"asv","21","9","6","As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun."
"asv","21","9","7","Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted thy works."
"asv","21","9","8","Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil."
"asv","21","9","9","Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun."
"asv","21","9","10","Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do  it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, whither thou goest."
"asv","21","9","11","I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
"asv","21","9","12","For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them."
"asv","21","9","13","I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great unto me:"
"asv","21","9","14","There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it."
"asv","21","9","15","Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man."
"asv","21","9","16","Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard."
"asv","21","9","17","The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools."
"asv","21","9","18","Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good."
"asv","21","10","1","Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor."
"asv","21","10","2","A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left."
"asv","21","10","3","Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one  that he is a fool."
"asv","21","10","4","If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences."
"asv","21","10","5","There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:"
"asv","21","10","6","folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place."
"asv","21","10","7","I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth."
"asv","21","10","8","He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him."
"asv","21","10","9","Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith;  and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby."
"asv","21","10","10","If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct."
"asv","21","10","11","If the serpent bite before it is charmed, then is there no advantage in the charmer."
"asv","21","10","12","The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself."
"asv","21","10","13","The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness."
"asv","21","10","14","A fool also multiplieth words:  yet man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?"
"asv","21","10","15","The labor of fools wearieth every one of them; for he knoweth not how to go to the city."
"asv","21","10","16","Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!"
"asv","21","10","17","Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!"
"asv","21","10","18","By slothfulness the roof sinketh in; and through idleness of the hands the house leaketh."
"asv","21","10","19","A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh glad the life; and money answereth all things."
"asv","21","10","20","Revile not the king, no, not in thy thought; and revile not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the heavens shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."
"asv","21","11","1","Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days."
"asv","21","11","2","Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth."
"asv","21","11","3","If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be."
"asv","21","11","4","He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap."
"asv","21","11","5","As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind,  nor how the bones  do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all."
"asv","21","11","6","In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."
"asv","21","11","7","Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun."
"asv","21","11","8","Yea, if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity."
"asv","21","11","9","Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment."
"asv","21","11","10","Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity."
"asv","21","12","1","Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;"
"asv","21","12","2","before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;"
"asv","21","12","3","in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,"
"asv","21","12","4","and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;"
"asv","21","12","5","yea, they shall be afraid of  that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:"
"asv","21","12","6","before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,"
"asv","21","12","7","and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it."
"asv","21","12","8","Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity."
"asv","21","12","9","And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out,  and set in order many proverbs."
"asv","21","12","10","The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written uprightly,  even words of truth."
"asv","21","12","11","The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails well fastened are the words of the masters of assemblies,  which are given from one shepherd."
"asv","21","12","12","And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."

"asv","23","3","14","Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses:"
"asv","23","3","15","what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","3","16","Moreover Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet;"
"asv","23","3","17","therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts."
"asv","23","3","18","In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;"
"asv","23","3","19","the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers;"
"asv","23","3","20","the headtires, and the ankle chains, and the sashes, and the perfume-boxes, and the amulets;"
"asv","23","3","21","the rings, and the nose-jewels;"
"asv","23","3","22","the festival robes, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the satchels;"
"asv","23","3","23","the hand-mirrors, and the fine linen, and the turbans, and the veils."
"asv","23","3","24","And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet spices there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; branding instead of beauty."
"asv","23","3","25","Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war."
"asv","23","3","26","And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit upon the ground."
"asv","23","4","1","And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name; take thou away our reproach."
"asv","23","4","2","In that day shall the branch of Jehovah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel."
"asv","23","4","3","And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem;"
"asv","23","4","4","when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning."
"asv","23","4","5","And Jehovah will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory  shall be spread a covering."
"asv","23","4","6","And there shall be a pavilion for a shade in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain."
"asv","23","5","1","Let me sing for my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:"
"asv","23","5","2","and he digged it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes."
"asv","23","5","3","And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard."
"asv","23","5","4","What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"
"asv","23","5","5","And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:"
"asv","23","5","6","and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor hoed; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it."
"asv","23","5","7","For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry."
"asv","23","5","8","Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!"
"asv","23","5","9","In mine ears  saith Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant."
"asv","23","5","10","For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield  but an ephah."
"asv","23","5","11","Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!"
"asv","23","5","12","And the harp and the lute, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of Jehovah, neither have they considered the operation of his hands."
"asv","23","5","13","Therefore my people are gone into captivity for lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst."
"asv","23","5","14","Therefore Sheol hath enlarged its desire, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth among them, descend  into it."
"asv","23","5","15","And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is humbled, and the eyes of the lofty are humbled:"
"asv","23","5","16","but Jehovah of hosts is exalted in justice, and God the Holy One is sanctified in righteousness."
"asv","23","5","17","Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat."
"asv","23","5","18","Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as it were with a cart rope;"
"asv","23","5","19","that say, Let him make speed, let him hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!"
"asv","23","5","20","Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
"asv","23","5","21","Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
"asv","23","5","22","Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;"
"asv","23","5","23","that justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!"
"asv","23","5","24","Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the dry grass sinketh down in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","5","25","Therefore is the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"asv","23","5","26","And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss for them from the end of the earth; and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly."
"asv","23","5","27","None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:"
"asv","23","5","28","whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hoofs shall be accounted as flint, and their wheels as a whirlwind:"
"asv","23","5","29","their roaring shall be like a lioness, they shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver."
"asv","23","5","30","And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold, darkness  and distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof."
"asv","23","6","1","In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple."
"asv","23","6","2","Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly."
"asv","23","6","3","And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory."
"asv","23","6","4","And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke."
"asv","23","6","5","Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","6","6","Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:"
"asv","23","6","7","and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven."
"asv","23","6","8","And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me."
"asv","23","6","9","And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not."
"asv","23","6","10","Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed."
"asv","23","6","11","Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,"
"asv","23","6","12","and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land."
"asv","23","6","13","And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof."
"asv","23","7","1","And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it."
"asv","23","7","2","And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart trembled, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest tremble with the wind."
"asv","23","7","3","Then said Jehovah unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller’s field;"
"asv","23","7","4","and say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and of the son of Remaliah."
"asv","23","7","5","Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have purposed evil against thee, saying,"
"asv","23","7","6","Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel;"
"asv","23","7","7","thus saith the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass."
"asv","23","7","8","For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people:"
"asv","23","7","9","and the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established."
"asv","23","7","10","And Jehovah spake again unto Ahaz, saying,"
"asv","23","7","11","Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above."
"asv","23","7","12","But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah."
"asv","23","7","13","And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?"
"asv","23","7","14","Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
"asv","23","7","15","Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth to refuse the evil, and choose the good."
"asv","23","7","16","For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken."
"asv","23","7","17","Jehovah will bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah- even the king of Assyria."
"asv","23","7","18","And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria."
"asv","23","7","19","And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the clefts of the rocks, and upon all thorn-hedges, and upon all pastures."
"asv","23","7","20","In that day will the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River,  even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard."
"asv","23","7","21","And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;"
"asv","23","7","22","and it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land."
"asv","23","7","23","And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, shall be for briers and thorns."
"asv","23","7","24","With arrows and with bow shall one come thither, because all the land shall be briers and thorns."
"asv","23","7","25","And all the hills that were digged with the mattock, thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep."
"asv","23","8","1","And Jehovah said unto me, Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it with the pen of a man, For Maher-shalal-hash-baz;"
"asv","23","8","2","and I will take unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."
"asv","23","8","3","And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said Jehovah unto me, Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz."
"asv","23","8","4","For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria."
"asv","23","8","5","And Jehovah spake unto me yet again, saying,"
"asv","23","8","6","Forasmuch as this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;"
"asv","23","8","7","now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, strong and many,  even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks;"
"asv","23","8","8","and it shall sweep onward into Judah; it shall overflow and pass through; it shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel."
"asv","23","8","9","Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces."
"asv","23","8","10","Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us."
"asv","23","8","11","For Jehovah spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,"
"asv","23","8","12","Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be in dread  thereof."
"asv","23","8","13","Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread."
"asv","23","8","14","And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"asv","23","8","15","And many shall stumble thereon, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken."
"asv","23","8","16","Bind thou up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples."
"asv","23","8","17","And I will wait for Jehovah, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him."
"asv","23","8","18","Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion."
"asv","23","8","19","And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto the wizards, that chirp and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living  should they seek unto the dead?"
"asv","23","8","20","To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them."
"asv","23","8","21","And they shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:"
"asv","23","8","22","and they shall look unto the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness  they shall be driven away."
"asv","23","9","1","But there shall be no gloom to her that was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations."
"asv","23","9","2","The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."
"asv","23","9","3","Thou hast multiplied the nation, thou hast increased their joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil."
"asv","23","9","4","For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, thou hast broken as in the day of Midian."
"asv","23","9","5","For all the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be for burning, for fuel of fire."
"asv","23","9","6","For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
"asv","23","9","7","Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this."
"asv","23","9","8","The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel."
"asv","23","9","9","And all the people shall know,  even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in stoutness of heart,"
"asv","23","9","10","The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stone; the sycomores are cut down, but we will put cedars in their place."
"asv","23","9","11","Therefore Jehovah will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,"
"asv","23","9","12","the Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"asv","23","9","13","Yet the people have not turned unto him that smote them, neither have they sought Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","9","14","Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day."
"asv","23","9","15","The elder and the honorable man, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail."
"asv","23","9","16","For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed."
"asv","23","9","17","Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is profane and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"asv","23","9","18","For wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke."
"asv","23","9","19","Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burnt up; and the people are as the fuel of fire: no man spareth his brother."
"asv","23","9","20","And one shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:"
"asv","23","9","21","Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"asv","23","10","1","Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness;"
"asv","23","10","2","to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!"
"asv","23","10","3","And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?"
"asv","23","10","4","They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."
"asv","23","10","5","Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!"
"asv","23","10","6","I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets."
"asv","23","10","7","Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few."
"asv","23","10","8","For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?"
"asv","23","10","9","Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?"
"asv","23","10","10","As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;"
"asv","23","10","11","shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
"asv","23","10","12","Wherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks."
"asv","23","10","13","For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and like a valiant man I have brought down them that sit  on thrones:"
"asv","23","10","14","and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped."
"asv","23","10","15","Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up,  or as if a staff should lift up  him that is  not wood."
"asv","23","10","16","Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire."
"asv","23","10","17","And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day."
"asv","23","10","18","And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth."
"asv","23","10","19","And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child may write them."
"asv","23","10","20","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth."
"asv","23","10","21","A remnant shall return,  even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God."
"asv","23","10","22","For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea,  only  a remnant of them shall return: a destruction  is determined, overflowing with righteousness."
"asv","23","10","23","For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth."
"asv","23","10","24","Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt."
"asv","23","10","25","For yet a very little while, and the indignation  against thee  shall be accomplished, and mine anger  shall be directed to his destruction."
"asv","23","10","26","And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt."
"asv","23","10","27","And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness."
"asv","23","10","28","He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;"
"asv","23","10","29","they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled."
"asv","23","10","30","Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!"
"asv","23","10","31","Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety."
"asv","23","10","32","This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem."
"asv","23","10","33","Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror: and the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low."
"asv","23","10","34","And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one."
"asv","23","11","1","And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit."
"asv","23","11","2","And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah."
"asv","23","11","3","And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;"
"asv","23","11","4","but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked."
"asv","23","11","5","And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins."
"asv","23","11","6","And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
"asv","23","11","7","And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox."
"asv","23","11","8","And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den."
"asv","23","11","9","They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea."
"asv","23","11","10","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse, that standeth for an ensign of the peoples, unto him shall the nations seek; and his resting-place shall be glorious."
"asv","23","11","11","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, that shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea."
"asv","23","11","12","And he will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth."
"asv","23","11","13","The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and they that vex Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim."
"asv","23","11","14","And they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines on the west; together shall they despoil the children of the east: they shall put forth their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them."
"asv","23","11","15","And Jehovah will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind will he wave his hand over the River, and will smite it into seven streams, and cause men to march over dryshod."
"asv","23","11","16","And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, that shall remain, from Assyria; like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","23","12","1","And in that day thou shalt say, I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah; for though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away and thou comfortest me."
"asv","23","12","2","Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Jehovah,  even Jehovah, is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation."
"asv","23","12","3","Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."
"asv","23","12","4","And in that day shall ye say, Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name, declare his doings among the peoples, make mention that his name is exalted."
"asv","23","12","5","Sing unto Jehovah; for he hath done excellent things: let this be known in all the earth."
"asv","23","12","6","Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; for great in the midst of thee is the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","13","1","The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see."
"asv","23","13","2","Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles."
"asv","23","13","3","I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones."
"asv","23","13","4","The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the host for the battle."
"asv","23","13","5","They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land."
"asv","23","13","6","Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come."
"asv","23","13","7","Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt:"
"asv","23","13","8","and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold  of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall look in amazement one at another; their faces  shall be faces of flame."
"asv","23","13","9","Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it."
"asv","23","13","10","For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine."
"asv","23","13","11","And I will punish the world for  their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible."
"asv","23","13","12","I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir."
"asv","23","13","13","Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger."
"asv","23","13","14","And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land."
"asv","23","13","15","Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword."
"asv","23","13","16","Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished."
"asv","23","13","17","Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it."
"asv","23","13","18","And  their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children."
"asv","23","13","19","And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah."
"asv","23","13","20","It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there."
"asv","23","13","21","But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there."
"asv","23","13","22","And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged."
"asv","23","14","1","For Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the sojourner shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob."
"asv","23","14","2","And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and for handmaids: and they shall take them captive whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors."
"asv","23","14","3","And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve,"
"asv","23","14","4","that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!"
"asv","23","14","5","Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers;"
"asv","23","14","6","that smote the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained."
"asv","23","14","7","The whole earth is at rest,  and is quiet: they break forth into singing."
"asv","23","14","8","Yea, the fir-trees rejoice at thee,  and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid low, no hewer is come up against us."
"asv","23","14","9","Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations."
"asv","23","14","10","All they shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?"
"asv","23","14","11","Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol,  and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and worms cover thee."
"asv","23","14","12","How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations!"
"asv","23","14","13","And thou saidst in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north;"
"asv","23","14","14","I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."
"asv","23","14","15","Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit."
"asv","23","14","16","They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"
"asv","23","14","17","that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home?"
"asv","23","14","18","All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house."
"asv","23","14","19","But thou art cast forth away from thy sepulchre like an abominable branch, clothed with the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a dead body trodden under foot."
"asv","23","14","20","Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever."
"asv","23","14","21","Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers, that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities."
"asv","23","14","22","And I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and son and son’s son, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","14","23","I will also make it a possession for the porcupine, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","14","24","Jehovah of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:"
"asv","23","14","25","that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder."
"asv","23","14","26","This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations."
"asv","23","14","27","For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall annul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?"
"asv","23","14","28","In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden."
"asv","23","14","29","Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth an adder, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent."
"asv","23","14","30","And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain."
"asv","23","14","31","Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou art melted away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks."
"asv","23","14","32","What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of his people take refuge."
"asv","23","15","1","The burden of Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste,  and  brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste,  and  brought to nought."
"asv","23","15","2","They are gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep: Moab waileth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off."
"asv","23","15","3","In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one waileth, weeping abundantly."
"asv","23","15","4","And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul trembleth within him."
"asv","23","15","5","My heart crieth out for Moab; her nobles  flee unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction."
"asv","23","15","6","For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing."
"asv","23","15","7","Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away over the brook of the willows."
"asv","23","15","8","For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the wailing thereof unto Eglaim, and the wailing thereof unto Beer-elim."
"asv","23","15","9","For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon them of Moab that escape, and upon the remnant of the land."
"asv","23","16","1","Send ye the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion."
"asv","23","16","2","For it shall be that, as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so shall the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon."
"asv","23","16","3","Give counsel, execute justice; make thy shade as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; betray not the fugitive."
"asv","23","16","4","Let mine outcasts dwell with thee; as for Moab, be thou a covert to him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortioner is brought to nought, destruction ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land."
"asv","23","16","5","And a throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness."
"asv","23","16","6","We have heard of the pride of Moab,  that he is very proud; even of his arrogancy, and his pride, and his wrath; his boastings are nought."
"asv","23","16","7","Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, every one shall wail: for the raisin-cakes of Kir-hareseth shall ye mourn, utterly stricken."
"asv","23","16","8","For the fields of Heshbon languish,  and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have broken down the choice branches thereof, which reached even unto Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness; its shoots were spread abroad, they passed over the sea."
"asv","23","16","9","Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for upon thy summer fruits and upon thy harvest the  battle shout is fallen."
"asv","23","16","10","And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither joyful noise: no treader shall tread out wine in the presses; I have made the  vintage shout to cease."
"asv","23","16","11","Wherefore my heart soundeth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres."
"asv","23","16","12","And it shall come to pass, when Moab presenteth himself, when he wearieth himself upon the high place, and shall come to his sanctuary to pray, that he shall not prevail."
"asv","23","16","13","This is the word that Jehovah spake concerning Moab in time past."
"asv","23","16","14","But now Jehovah hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account."
"asv","23","17","1","The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."
"asv","23","17","2","The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
"asv","23","17","3","And the fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","17","4","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean."
"asv","23","17","5","And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim."
"asv","23","17","6","Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as the shaking of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel."
"asv","23","17","7","In that day shall men look unto their Maker, and their eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","17","8","And they shall not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they have respect to that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images."
"asv","23","17","9","In that day shall their strong cities be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation."
"asv","23","17","10","For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips."
"asv","23","17","11","In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in, and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom; but the harvest fleeth away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow."
"asv","23","17","12","Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!"
"asv","23","17","13","The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm."
"asv","23","17","14","At eventide, behold, terror;  and before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that despoil us, and the lot of them that rob us."
"asv","23","18","1","Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;"
"asv","23","18","2","that sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters,  saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!"
"asv","23","18","3","All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the trumpet is blown, hear ye."
"asv","23","18","4","For thus hath Jehovah said unto me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."
"asv","23","18","5","For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the spreading branches will he take away  and cut down."
"asv","23","18","6","They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them."
"asv","23","18","7","In that time shall a present be brought unto Jehovah of hosts  from  a people tall and smooth, even from a people terrible from their beginning onward, a nation that meteth out and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the mount Zion."
"asv","23","19","1","The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it."
"asv","23","19","2","And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbor; city against city,  and kingdom against kingdom."
"asv","23","19","3","And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards."
"asv","23","19","4","And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","19","5","And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and become dry."
"asv","23","19","6","And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither away."
"asv","23","19","7","The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more."
"asv","23","19","8","And the fishers shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish."
"asv","23","19","9","Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave white cloth, shall be confounded."
"asv","23","19","10","And the pillars  of Egypt shall be broken in pieces; all they that work for hire  shall be grieved in soul."
"asv","23","19","11","The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the counsel of the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"
"asv","23","19","12","Where then are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now; and let them know what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt."
"asv","23","19","13","The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Memphis are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes."
"asv","23","19","14","Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit."
"asv","23","19","15","Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do."
"asv","23","19","16","In that day shall the Egyptians be like unto women; and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over them."
"asv","23","19","17","And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt; every one to whom mention is made thereof shall be afraid, because of the purpose of Jehovah of hosts, which he purposeth against it."
"asv","23","19","18","In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Jehovah of hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction."
"asv","23","19","19","In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah."
"asv","23","19","20","And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of oppressors, and he will send them a saviour, and a defender, and he will deliver them."
"asv","23","19","21","And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and oblation, and shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and shall perform it."
"asv","23","19","22","And Jehovah will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them."
"asv","23","19","23","In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians."
"asv","23","19","24","In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;"
"asv","23","19","25","for that Jehovah of hosts hath blessed them, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance."
"asv","23","20","1","In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;"
"asv","23","20","2","at that time Jehovah spake by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put thy shoe from off thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot."
"asv","23","20","3","And Jehovah said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder concerning Egypt and concerning Ethiopia;"
"asv","23","20","4","so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt."
"asv","23","20","5","And they shall be dismayed and confounded, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory."
"asv","23","20","6","And the inhabitant of this coast-land shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and we, how shall we escape?"
"asv","23","21","1","The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land."
"asv","23","21","2","A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease."
"asv","23","21","3","Therefore are my loins filled with anguish; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained so that I cannot hear; I am dismayed so that I cannot see."
"asv","23","21","4","My heart fluttereth, horror hath affrighted me; the twilight that I desired hath been turned into trembling unto me."
"asv","23","21","5","They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink: rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield."
"asv","23","21","6","For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman: let him declare what he seeth:"
"asv","23","21","7","and when he seeth a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed."
"asv","23","21","8","And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watch-tower in the day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights;"
"asv","23","21","9","and, behold, here cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground."
"asv","23","21","10","O thou my threshing, and the grain of my floor! that which I have heard from Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you."
"asv","23","21","11","The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"
"asv","23","21","12","The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: turn ye, come."
"asv","23","21","13","The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanites."
"asv","23","21","14","Unto him that was thirsty they brought water; the inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitives with their bread."
"asv","23","21","15","For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war."
"asv","23","21","16","For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail;"
"asv","23","21","17","and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be few; for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath spoken it."
"asv","23","22","1","The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?"
"asv","23","22","2","O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle."
"asv","23","22","3","All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound by the archers; all that were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off."
"asv","23","22","4","Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people."
"asv","23","22","5","For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."
"asv","23","22","6","And Elam bare the quiver, with chariots of men  and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield."
"asv","23","22","7","And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate."
"asv","23","22","8","And he took away the covering of Judah; and thou didst look in that day to the armor in the house of the forest."
"asv","23","22","9","And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;"
"asv","23","22","10","and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses to fortify the wall;"
"asv","23","22","11","ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye looked not unto him that had done this, neither had ye respect unto him that purposed it long ago."
"asv","23","22","12","And in that day did the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:"
"asv","23","22","13","and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die."
"asv","23","22","14","And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","22","15","Thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is over the house,  and say,"
"asv","23","22","16","What doest thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving a habitation for himself in the rock!"
"asv","23","22","17","Behold, Jehovah, like a  strong man, will hurl thee away violently; yea, he will wrap thee up closely."
"asv","23","22","18","He will surely wind thee round and round,  and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house."
"asv","23","22","19","And I will thrust thee from thine office; and from thy station shalt thou be pulled down."
"asv","23","22","20","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:"
"asv","23","22","21","and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah."
"asv","23","22","22","And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open."
"asv","23","22","23","And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father’s house."
"asv","23","22","24","And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons."
"asv","23","22","25","In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","23","23","1","The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them."
"asv","23","23","2","Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast, thou whom the merchants of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished."
"asv","23","23","3","And on great waters the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations."
"asv","23","23","4","Be thou ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea hath spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins."
"asv","23","23","5","When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre."
"asv","23","23","6","Pass ye over to Tarshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the coast."
"asv","23","23","7","Is this your joyous  city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?"
"asv","23","23","8","Who hath purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?"
"asv","23","23","9","Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth."
"asv","23","23","10","Pass through thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more."
"asv","23","23","11","He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken the kingdoms: Jehovah hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof."
"asv","23","23","12","And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no rest."
"asv","23","23","13","Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: this people was not; the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces thereof; they made it a ruin."
"asv","23","23","14","Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for your stronghold is laid waste."
"asv","23","23","15","And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it shall be unto Tyre as in the song of the harlot."
"asv","23","23","16","Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered."
"asv","23","23","17","And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth."
"asv","23","23","18","And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing."
"asv","23","24","1","Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof."
"asv","23","24","2","And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him."
"asv","23","24","3","The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word."
"asv","23","24","4","The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish."
"asv","23","24","5","The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant."
"asv","23","24","6","Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left."
"asv","23","24","7","The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh."
"asv","23","24","8","The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth."
"asv","23","24","9","They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it."
"asv","23","24","10","The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in."
"asv","23","24","11","There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone."
"asv","23","24","12","In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction."
"asv","23","24","13","For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the gleanings when the vintage is done."
"asv","23","24","14","These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Jehovah they cry aloud from the sea."
"asv","23","24","15","Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the east, even the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea."
"asv","23","24","16","From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously."
"asv","23","24","17","Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth."
"asv","23","24","18","And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble."
"asv","23","24","19","The earth is utterly broken, the earth is rent asunder, the earth is shaken violently."
"asv","23","24","20","The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again."
"asv","23","24","21","And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth."
"asv","23","24","22","And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison; and after many days shall they be visited."
"asv","23","24","23","Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders shall be glory."
"asv","23","25","1","O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things,  even counsels of old, in faithfulness  and truth."
"asv","23","25","2","For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built."
"asv","23","25","3","Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee."
"asv","23","25","4","For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall."
"asv","23","25","5","As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low."
"asv","23","25","6","And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined."
"asv","23","25","7","And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations."
"asv","23","25","8","He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","23","25","9","And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
"asv","23","25","10","For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill."
"asv","23","25","11","And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth  his hands to swim; but  Jehovah  will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands."
"asv","23","25","12","And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust."
"asv","23","26","1","In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks."
"asv","23","26","2","Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in."
"asv","23","26","3","Thou wilt keep  him in perfect peace,  whose mind is stayed  on thee; because he trusteth in thee."
"asv","23","26","4","Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah,  even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock."
"asv","23","26","5","For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust."
"asv","23","26","6","The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy."
"asv","23","26","7","The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just."
"asv","23","26","8","Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial  name, is the desire of our soul."
"asv","23","26","9","With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness."
"asv","23","26","10","Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah."
"asv","23","26","11","Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries."
"asv","23","26","12","Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us."
"asv","23","26","13","O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name."
"asv","23","26","14"," They are dead, they shall not live;  they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish."
"asv","23","26","15","Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land."
"asv","23","26","16","Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them."
"asv","23","26","17","Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah."
"asv","23","26","18","We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen."
"asv","23","26","19","Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is  as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead."
"asv","23","26","20","Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast."
"asv","23","26","21","For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."
"asv","23","27","1","In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea."
"asv","23","27","2","In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it."
"asv","23","27","3","I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day."
"asv","23","27","4","Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together."
"asv","23","27","5","Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; yea, let him make peace with me."
"asv","23","27","6","In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit."
"asv","23","27","7","Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them?"
"asv","23","27","8","In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed  them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind."
"asv","23","27","9","Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder,  so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more."
"asv","23","27","10","For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof."
"asv","23","27","11","When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor."
"asv","23","27","12","And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off his fruit from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel."
"asv","23","27","13","And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem."
"asv","23","28","1","Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine!"
"asv","23","28","2","Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will he cast down to the earth with the hand."
"asv","23","28","3","The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot:"
"asv","23","28","4","and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up."
"asv","23","28","5","In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people;"
"asv","23","28","6","and a spirit of justice to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate."
"asv","23","28","7","And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment."
"asv","23","28","8","For all tables are full of vomit  and filthiness,  so that there is no place  clean."
"asv","23","28","9","Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?"
"asv","23","28","10","For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little."
"asv","23","28","11","Nay, but by  men of strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people;"
"asv","23","28","12","to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear."
"asv","23","28","13","Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken."
"asv","23","28","14","Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem:"
"asv","23","28","15","Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"
"asv","23","28","16","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner- stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste."
"asv","23","28","17","And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place."
"asv","23","28","18","And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it."
"asv","23","28","19","As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message."
"asv","23","28","20","For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it."
"asv","23","28","21","For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act."
"asv","23","28","22","Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth."
"asv","23","28","23","Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech."
"asv","23","28","24","Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he  continually  open and harrow his ground?"
"asv","23","28","25","When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof?"
"asv","23","28","26","For his God doth instruct him aright,  and doth teach him."
"asv","23","28","27","For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp  threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod."
"asv","23","28","28","Bread  grain is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it."
"asv","23","28","29","This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom."
"asv","23","29","1","Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round:"
"asv","23","29","2","then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation; and she shall be unto me as Ariel."
"asv","23","29","3","And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops, and I will raise siege works against thee."
"asv","23","29","4","And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust."
"asv","23","29","5","But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly."
"asv","23","29","6","She shall be visited of Jehovah of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire."
"asv","23","29","7","And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night."
"asv","23","29","8","And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion."
"asv","23","29","9","Tarry ye and wonder; take your pleasure and be blind: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink."
"asv","23","29","10","For Jehovah hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, hath he covered."
"asv","23","29","11","And all vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed:"
"asv","23","29","12","and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I am not learned."
"asv","23","29","13","And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw nigh  unto me, and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which hath been taught  them;"
"asv","23","29","14","therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid."
"asv","23","29","15","Woe unto them that hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and that say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?"
"asv","23","29","16","Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?"
"asv","23","29","17","Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?"
"asv","23","29","18","And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness."
"asv","23","29","19","The meek also shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","29","20","For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scoffer ceaseth, and all they that watch for iniquity are cut off;"
"asv","23","29","21","that make a man an offender in  his cause, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nought."
"asv","23","29","22","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale."
"asv","23","29","23","But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name; yea, they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall stand in awe of the God of Israel."
"asv","23","29","24","They also that err in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmur shall receive instruction."
"asv","23","30","1","Woe to the rebellious children, saith Jehovah, that take counsel, but not of me; and that make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,"
"asv","23","30","2","that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!"
"asv","23","30","3","Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion."
"asv","23","30","4","For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes."
"asv","23","30","5","They shall all be ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."
"asv","23","30","6","The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit them."
"asv","23","30","7","For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still."
"asv","23","30","8","Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever."
"asv","23","30","9","For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;"
"asv","23","30","10","that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,"
"asv","23","30","11","get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."
"asv","23","30","12","Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;"
"asv","23","30","13","therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant."
"asv","23","30","14","And he shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."
"asv","23","30","15","For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:"
"asv","23","30","16","but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift."
"asv","23","30","17","One thousand  shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill."
"asv","23","30","18","And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him."
"asv","23","30","19","For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; thou shalt weep no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear, he will answer thee."
"asv","23","30","20","And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers;"
"asv","23","30","21","and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."
"asv","23","30","22","And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as an unclean thing; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence."
"asv","23","30","23","And he will give the rain for thy seed, wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures;"
"asv","23","30","24","the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork."
"asv","23","30","25","And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks  and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall."
"asv","23","30","26","Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
"asv","23","30","27","Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;"
"asv","23","30","28","and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err  shall be in the jaws of the peoples."
"asv","23","30","29","Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel."
"asv","23","30","30","And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of  his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones."
"asv","23","30","31","For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he smite  him."
"asv","23","30","32","And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with  the sound of tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing  of his arm will he fight with them."
"asv","23","30","33","For a Topheth is prepared of old; yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it."
"asv","23","31","1","Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!"
"asv","23","31","2","Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of them that work iniquity."
"asv","23","31","3","Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together."
"asv","23","31","4","For thus saith Jehovah unto me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Jehovah of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof."
"asv","23","31","5","As birds hovering, so will Jehovah of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver  it, he will pass over and preserve  it."
"asv","23","31","6","Turn ye unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, O children of Israel."
"asv","23","31","7","For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin."
"asv","23","31","8","And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to taskwork."
"asv","23","31","9","And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem."
"asv","23","32","1","Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice."
"asv","23","32","2","And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land."
"asv","23","32","3","And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken."
"asv","23","32","4","And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly."
"asv","23","32","5","The fool shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful."
"asv","23","32","6","For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise profaneness, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail."
"asv","23","32","7","And the instruments of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right."
"asv","23","32","8","But the noble deviseth noble things; and in noble things shall he continue."
"asv","23","32","9","Rise up, ye women that are at ease,  and hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech."
"asv","23","32","10","For days beyond a year shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come."
"asv","23","32","11","Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird  sackcloth upon your loins."
"asv","23","32","12","They shall smite upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine."
"asv","23","32","13","Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city."
"asv","23","32","14","For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;"
"asv","23","32","15","until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest."
"asv","23","32","16","Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field."
"asv","23","32","17","And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence for ever."
"asv","23","32","18","And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places."
"asv","23","32","19","But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low."
"asv","23","32","20","Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass."
"asv","23","33","1","Woe to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to destroy, thou shalt be destroyed; and when thou hast made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee."
"asv","23","33","2","O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou our arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble."
"asv","23","33","3","At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered."
"asv","23","33","4","And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it."
"asv","23","33","5","Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness."
"asv","23","33","6","And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure."
"asv","23","33","7","Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly."
"asv","23","33","8","The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth:  the enemy  hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man."
"asv","23","33","9","The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off  their leaves."
"asv","23","33","10","Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted."
"asv","23","33","11","Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you."
"asv","23","33","12","And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire."
"asv","23","33","13","Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might."
"asv","23","33","14","The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?"
"asv","23","33","15","He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil:"
"asv","23","33","16","He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given  him; his waters shall be sure."
"asv","23","33","17","Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a land that reacheth afar."
"asv","23","33","18","Thy heart shall muse on the terror: Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed  the tribute? where is he that counted the towers?"
"asv","23","33","19","Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand."
"asv","23","33","20","Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken."
"asv","23","33","21","But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby."
"asv","23","33","22","For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; he will save us."
"asv","23","33","23","Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey."
"asv","23","33","24","And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."
"asv","23","34","1","Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth from it."
"asv","23","34","2","For Jehovah hath indignation against all the nations, and wrath against all their host: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter."
"asv","23","34","3","Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies shall come up; and the mountains shall be melted with their blood."
"asv","23","34","4","And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as the leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as a fading  leaf from the fig-tree."
"asv","23","34","5","For my sword hath drunk its fill in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment."
"asv","23","34","6","The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom."
"asv","23","34","7","And the wild-oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls: and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness."
"asv","23","34","8","For Jehovah hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion."
"asv","23","34","9","And the streams of  Edom shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch."
"asv","23","34","10","It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever."
"asv","23","34","11","But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness."
"asv","23","34","12","They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing."
"asv","23","34","13","And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches."
"asv","23","34","14","And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest."
"asv","23","34","15","There shall the dart-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shade; yea, there shall the kites be gathered, every one with her mate."
"asv","23","34","16","Seek ye out of the book of Jehovah, and read: no one of these shall be missing, none shall want her mate; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them."
"asv","23","34","17","And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein."
"asv","23","35","1","The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose."
"asv","23","35","2","It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God."
"asv","23","35","3","Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees."
"asv","23","35","4","Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come  with vengeance,  with the recompense of God; he will come and save you."
"asv","23","35","5","Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped."
"asv","23","35","6","Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."
"asv","23","35","7","And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes."
"asv","23","35","8","And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err therein."
"asv","23","35","9","No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk  there:"
"asv","23","35","10","and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
"asv","23","36","1","Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them."
"asv","23","36","2","And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field."
"asv","23","36","3","Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder."
"asv","23","36","4","And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?"
"asv","23","36","5","I say,  thy counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?"
"asv","23","36","6","Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him."
"asv","23","36","7","But if thou say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?"
"asv","23","36","8","Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them."
"asv","23","36","9","How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?"
"asv","23","36","10","And am I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it."
"asv","23","36","11","Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall."
"asv","23","36","12","But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words?  hath he not  sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?"
"asv","23","36","13","Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria."
"asv","23","36","14","Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you:"
"asv","23","36","15","neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
"asv","23","36","16","Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;"
"asv","23","36","17","until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards."
"asv","23","36","18","Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?"
"asv","23","36","19","Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?"
"asv","23","36","20","Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?"
"asv","23","36","21","But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not."
"asv","23","36","22","Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh."
"asv","23","37","1","And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah."
"asv","23","37","2","And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz."
"asv","23","37","3","And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth."
"asv","23","37","4","It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left."
"asv","23","37","5","So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah."
"asv","23","37","6","And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me."
"asv","23","37","7","Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."
"asv","23","37","8","So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish."
"asv","23","37","9","And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,"
"asv","23","37","10","Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
"asv","23","37","11","Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?"
"asv","23","37","12","Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?"
"asv","23","37","13","Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?"
"asv","23","37","14","And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah."
"asv","23","37","15","And Hezekiah prayed unto Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","23","37","16","O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest  above  the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth."
"asv","23","37","17","Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to defy the living God."
"asv","23","37","18","Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,"
"asv","23","37","19","and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them."
"asv","23","37","20","Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, even thou only."
"asv","23","37","21","Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,"
"asv","23","37","22","this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee."
"asv","23","37","23","Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high?  even against the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","37","24","By thy servants hast thou defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field;"
"asv","23","37","25","I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt."
"asv","23","37","26","Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps."
"asv","23","37","27","Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field  of grain before it is grown up."
"asv","23","37","28","But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me."
"asv","23","37","29","Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest."
"asv","23","37","30","And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof."
"asv","23","37","31","And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward."
"asv","23","37","32","For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this."
"asv","23","37","33","Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it."
"asv","23","37","34","By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","37","35","For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake."
"asv","23","37","36","And the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies."
"asv","23","37","37","So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh."
"asv","23","37","38","And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead."
"asv","23","38","1","In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live."
"asv","23","38","2","Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah,"
"asv","23","38","3","and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore."
"asv","23","38","4","Then came the word of Jehovah to Isaiah, saying,"
"asv","23","38","5","Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years."
"asv","23","38","6","And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city."
"asv","23","38","7","And this shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing that he hath spoken:"
"asv","23","38","8","behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down."
"asv","23","38","9","The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness."
"asv","23","38","10","I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol:I am deprived of the residue of my years."
"asv","23","38","11","I said, I shall not see Jehovah,  even Jehovah in the land of the living:I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world."
"asv","23","38","12","My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd’s tent:I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he will cut me off from the loom:From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me."
"asv","23","38","13","I quieted  myself until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones:From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me."
"asv","23","38","14","Like a swallow  or a crane, so did I chatter;I did moan as a dove; mine eyes fail  with looking upward:O Lord, I am oppressed, be thou my surety."
"asv","23","38","15","What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it:I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul."
"asv","23","38","16","O Lord, by these things men live;And wholly therein is the life of my spirit:Wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live."
"asv","23","38","17","Behold,  it was for  my peace  that I had great bitterness:But thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption;For thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."
"asv","23","38","18","For Sheol cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee:They that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth."
"asv","23","38","19","The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day:The father to the children shall make known thy truth."
"asv","23","38","20","Jehovah is  ready to save me:Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instrumentsAll the days of our life in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","23","38","21","Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover."
"asv","23","38","22","Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?"
"asv","23","39","1","At that time Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he heard that he had been sick, and was recovered."
"asv","23","39","2","And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not."
"asv","23","39","3","Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon."
"asv","23","39","4","Then said he, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them."
"asv","23","39","5","Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah of hosts:"
"asv","23","39","6","Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","39","7","And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."
"asv","23","39","8","Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days."
"asv","23","40","1","Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God."
"asv","23","40","2","Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah’s hand double for all her sins."
"asv","23","40","3","The voice of one that crieth, Prepare ye in the wilderness the way of Jehovah; make level in the desert a highway for our God."
"asv","23","40","4","Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain:"
"asv","23","40","5","and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","23","40","6","The voice of one saying, Cry. And one said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field."
"asv","23","40","7","The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, because the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it; surely the people is grass."
"asv","23","40","8","The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand forever."
"asv","23","40","9","O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!"
"asv","23","40","10","Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him."
"asv","23","40","11","He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom,  and will gently lead those that have their young."
"asv","23","40","12","Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?"
"asv","23","40","13","Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah, or being his counsellor hath taught him?"
"asv","23","40","14","With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding?"
"asv","23","40","15","Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: Behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing."
"asv","23","40","16","And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering."
"asv","23","40","17","All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing, and vanity."
"asv","23","40","18","To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?"
"asv","23","40","19","The image, a workman hath cast  it, and the goldsmith overlayeth it with gold, and casteth  for it silver chains."
"asv","23","40","20","He that is too impoverished for  such an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilful workman to set up a graven image, that shall not be moved."
"asv","23","40","21","Have ye not known? have yet not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?"
"asv","23","40","22"," It is he that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;"
"asv","23","40","23","that bringeth princes to nothing; that maketh the judges of the earth as vanity."
"asv","23","40","24","Yea, they have not been planted; yea, they have not been sown; yea, their stock hath not taken root in the earth: moreover he bloweth upon them, and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble."
"asv","23","40","25","To whom then will ye liken me, that I should be equal  to him? saith the Holy One."
"asv","23","40","26","Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking."
"asv","23","40","27","Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and the justice  due to me is passed away from my God?"
"asv","23","40","28","Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding."
"asv","23","40","29","He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength."
"asv","23","40","30","Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:"
"asv","23","40","31","but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint."
"asv","23","41","1","Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment."
"asv","23","41","2","Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow."
"asv","23","41","3","He pursueth them, and passeth on safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet."
"asv","23","41","4","Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he."
"asv","23","41","5","The isles have seen, and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come."
"asv","23","41","6","They help every one his neighbor; and  every one saith to his brother, Be of good courage."
"asv","23","41","7","So the carpenter encourageth the goldsmith,  and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smiteth the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good; and he fasteneth it with nails, that it should not be moved."
"asv","23","41","8","But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend,"
"asv","23","41","9","thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from the corners thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away;"
"asv","23","41","10","Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
"asv","23","41","11","Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall be put to shame and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish."
"asv","23","41","12","Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought."
"asv","23","41","13","For I, Jehovah thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee."
"asv","23","41","14","Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith Jehovah, and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","41","15","Behold, I have made thee  to be a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff."
"asv","23","41","16","Thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them; and thou shalt rejoice in Jehovah, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","41","17","The poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I, Jehovah, will answer them, I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them."
"asv","23","41","18","I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water."
"asv","23","41","19","I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil-tree; I will set in the desert the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together:"
"asv","23","41","20","that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it."
"asv","23","41","21","Produce your cause, saith Jehovah; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob."
"asv","23","41","22","Let them bring forth, and declare unto us what shall happen: declare ye the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come."
"asv","23","41","23","Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together."
"asv","23","41","24","Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work is of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you."
"asv","23","41","25","I have raised up one from the north, and he is come; from the rising of the sun one that calleth upon my name: and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay."
"asv","23","41","26","Who hath declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say,  He is right? yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that showeth, yea, there is none that heareth your words."
"asv","23","41","27"," I am the first  that saith unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings."
"asv","23","41","28","And when I look, there is no man: even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word."
"asv","23","41","29","Behold, all of them, their works are vanity  and nought; their molten images are wind and confusion."
"asv","23","42","1","Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles."
"asv","23","42","2","He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street."
"asv","23","42","3","A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth."
"asv","23","42","4","He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law."
"asv","23","42","5","Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:"
"asv","23","42","6","I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;"
"asv","23","42","7","to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house."
"asv","23","42","8","I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images."
"asv","23","42","9","Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."
"asv","23","42","10","Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof."
"asv","23","42","11","Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up  their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains."
"asv","23","42","12","Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands."
"asv","23","42","13","Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up  his  zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies."
"asv","23","42","14","I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself:  now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together."
"asv","23","42","15","I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools."
"asv","23","42","16","And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them."
"asv","23","42","17","They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods."
"asv","23","42","18","Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see."
"asv","23","42","19","Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I send? who is blind as he that is at peace  with me, and blind as Jehovah’s servant?"
"asv","23","42","20","Thou seest many things, but thou observest not; his ears are open, but he heareth not."
"asv","23","42","21","It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable."
"asv","23","42","22","But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore."
"asv","23","42","23","Who is there among you that will give ear to this? that will hearken and hear for the time to come?"
"asv","23","42","24","Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not Jehovah? he against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto his law."
"asv","23","42","25","Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart."
"asv","23","43","1","But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine."
"asv","23","43","2","When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."
"asv","23","43","3","For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead."
"asv","23","43","4","Since thou hast been precious in my sight,  and honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life."
"asv","23","43","5","Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;"
"asv","23","43","6","I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth;"
"asv","23","43","7","every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made."
"asv","23","43","8","Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears."
"asv","23","43","9","Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is truth."
"asv","23","43","10","Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me."
"asv","23","43","11","I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour."
"asv","23","43","12","I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed; and there was no strange  god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and I am God."
"asv","23","43","13","Yea, since the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who can hinder it?"
"asv","23","43","14","Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing."
"asv","23","43","15","I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."
"asv","23","43","16","Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;"
"asv","23","43","17","who bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched as a wick):"
"asv","23","43","18","Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old."
"asv","23","43","19","Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
"asv","23","43","20","The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,"
"asv","23","43","21","the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise."
"asv","23","43","22","Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel."
"asv","23","43","23","Thou hast not brought me of thy sheep for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense."
"asv","23","43","24","Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities."
"asv","23","43","25","I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins."
"asv","23","43","26","Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth  thy cause, that thou mayest be justified."
"asv","23","43","27","Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me."
"asv","23","43","28","Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."
"asv","23","44","1","Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel, who I have chosen:"
"asv","23","44","2","Thus saith Jehovah that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob my servant; and thou, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen."
"asv","23","44","3","For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:"
"asv","23","44","4","and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses."
"asv","23","44","5","One shall say, I am Jehovah’s; and another shall call  himself  by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Jehovah, and surname  himself by the name of Israel."
"asv","23","44","6","Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God."
"asv","23","44","7","And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I established the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass, let them declare."
"asv","23","44","8","Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have I not declared unto thee of old, and showed it? and ye are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? yea, there is no Rock; I know not any."
"asv","23","44","9","They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity; and the things that they delight in shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know: that they may be put to shame."
"asv","23","44","10","Who hath fashioned a god, or molten an image that is profitable for nothing?"
"asv","23","44","11","Behold, all his fellows shall be put to shame; and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be put to shame together."
"asv","23","44","12","The smith  maketh an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint."
"asv","23","44","13","The carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he shapeth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and shapeth it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house."
"asv","23","44","14","He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the holm-tree and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest: he planteth a fir-tree, and the rain doth nourish it."
"asv","23","44","15","Then shall it be for a man to burn; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread: yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto."
"asv","23","44","16","He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire."
"asv","23","44","17","And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image; he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god."
"asv","23","44","18","They know not, neither do they consider: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand."
"asv","23","44","19","And none calleth to mind, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?"
"asv","23","44","20","He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?"
"asv","23","44","21","Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me."
"asv","23","44","22","I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."
"asv","23","44","23","Sing, O ye heavens, for Jehovah hath done it; shout, ye lower parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel."
"asv","23","44","24","Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth (who is with me?);"
"asv","23","44","25","that frustrateth the signs of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;"
"asv","23","44","26","that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof;"
"asv","23","44","27","that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers;"
"asv","23","44","28","That saith of Cyrus,  He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem, She shall be built; and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid."
"asv","23","45","1","Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:"
"asv","23","45","2","I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron;"
"asv","23","45","3","and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel."
"asv","23","45","4","For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me."
"asv","23","45","5","I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me;"
"asv","23","45","6","that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else."
"asv","23","45","7","I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things."
"asv","23","45","8","Distil, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, that it may bring forth salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up together; I, Jehovah, have created it."
"asv","23","45","9","Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?"
"asv","23","45","10","Woe unto him that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to a woman, With what travailest thou?"
"asv","23","45","11","Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me."
"asv","23","45","12","I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I commanded."
"asv","23","45","13","I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make straight all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","23","45","14","Thus saith Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall go after thee, in chains they shall come over; and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee,  saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God."
"asv","23","45","15","Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour."
"asv","23","45","16","They shall be put to shame, yea, confounded, all of them; they shall go into confusion together that are makers of idols."
"asv","23","45","17"," But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end."
"asv","23","45","18","For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens, the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it not a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah; and there is none else."
"asv","23","45","19","I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right."
"asv","23","45","20","Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that carry the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save."
"asv","23","45","21","Declare ye, and bring  it forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me."
"asv","23","45","22","Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else."
"asv","23","45","23","By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth  in  righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."
"asv","23","45","24","Only in Jehovah, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength; even to him shall men come; and all they that were incensed against him shall be put to shame."
"asv","23","45","25","In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory."
"asv","23","46","1","Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary  beast."
"asv","23","46","2","They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity."
"asv","23","46","3","Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that have been borne  by me from their birth, that have been carried from the womb;"
"asv","23","46","4","and even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver."
"asv","23","46","5","To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?"
"asv","23","46","6","Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; they fall down, yea, they worship."
"asv","23","46","7","They bear it upon the shoulder, they carry it, and set it in its place, and it standeth, from its place shall it not remove: yea, one may cry unto it, yet can it not answer, nor save him out of his trouble."
"asv","23","46","8","Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors."
"asv","23","46","9","Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me;"
"asv","23","46","10","declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not  yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure;"
"asv","23","46","11","calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it."
"asv","23","46","12","Hearken unto me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:"
"asv","23","46","13","I bring near my righteousness, it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory."
"asv","23","47","1","Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate."
"asv","23","47","2","Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers."
"asv","23","47","3","Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man."
"asv","23","47","4","Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","47","5","Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called The mistress of kingdoms."
"asv","23","47","6","I was wroth with my people, I profaned mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke."
"asv","23","47","7","And thou saidst, I shall be mistress for ever; so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end thereof."
"asv","23","47","8","Now therefore hear this, thou that art given to pleasures, that sittest securely, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:"
"asv","23","47","9","but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood; in their full measure shall they come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments."
"asv","23","47","10","For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness; thou hast said, None seeth me; thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee, and thou hast said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me."
"asv","23","47","11","Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know the dawning thereof: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou knowest not."
"asv","23","47","12","Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail."
"asv","23","47","13","Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee."
"asv","23","47","14","Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before."
"asv","23","47","15","Thus shall the things be unto thee wherein thou hast labored: they that have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander every one to his quarter; there shall be none to save thee."
"asv","23","48","1","Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness"
"asv","23","48","2","(for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; Jehovah of hosts is his name):"
"asv","23","48","3","I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them: suddenly I did them, and they came to pass."
"asv","23","48","4","Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;"
"asv","23","48","5","therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I showed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them."
"asv","23","48","6","Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known."
"asv","23","48","7","They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them."
"asv","23","48","8","Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb."
"asv","23","48","9","For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off."
"asv","23","48","10","Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."
"asv","23","48","11","For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? and my glory will I not give to another."
"asv","23","48","12","Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last."
"asv","23","48","13","Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together."
"asv","23","48","14","Assemble yourselves, all ye, and hear; who among them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah loveth shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm  shall be on the Chaldeans."
"asv","23","48","15","I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous."
"asv","23","48","16","Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit."
"asv","23","48","17","Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go."
"asv","23","48","18","Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:"
"asv","23","48","19","thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains thereof: his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me."
"asv","23","48","20","Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob."
"asv","23","48","21","And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out."
"asv","23","48","22","There is no peace, saith Jehovah, to the wicked."
"asv","23","49","1","Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: Jehovah hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name:"
"asv","23","49","2","and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me: and he hath made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he kept me close:"
"asv","23","49","3","and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
"asv","23","49","4","But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely the justice  due to me is with Jehovah, and my recompense with my God."
"asv","23","49","5","And now saith Jehovah that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered unto him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God is become my strength);"
"asv","23","49","6","yea, he saith, It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth."
"asv","23","49","7","Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel,  and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah that is faithful,  even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee."
"asv","23","49","8","Thus saith Jehovah, In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages:"
"asv","23","49","9","saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture."
"asv","23","49","10","They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them."
"asv","23","49","11","And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted."
"asv","23","49","12","Lo, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim."
"asv","23","49","13","Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted."
"asv","23","49","14","But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me."
"asv","23","49","15","Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee."
"asv","23","49","16","Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me."
"asv","23","49","17","Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee."
"asv","23","49","18","Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride."
"asv","23","49","19","For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away."
"asv","23","49","20","The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell."
"asv","23","49","21","Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?"
"asv","23","49","22","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders."
"asv","23","49","23","And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; and they that wait for me shall not be put to shame."
"asv","23","49","24","Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?"
"asv","23","49","25","But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children."
"asv","23","49","26","And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
"asv","23","50","1","Thus saith Jehovah, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, wherewith I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away."
"asv","23","50","2","Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst."
"asv","23","50","3","I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."
"asv","23","50","4","The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught."
"asv","23","50","5","The Lord Jehovah hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away backward."
"asv","23","50","6","I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting."
"asv","23","50","7","For the Lord Jehovah will help me; therefore have I not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame."
"asv","23","50","8","He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand up together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me."
"asv","23","50","9","Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up."
"asv","23","50","10","Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? he that walketh in darkness, and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah, and rely upon his God."
"asv","23","50","11","Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that gird yourselves about with firebrands; walk ye in the flame of your fire, and among the brands that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow."
"asv","23","51","1","Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit whence ye were digged."
"asv","23","51","2","Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many."
"asv","23","51","3","For Jehovah hath comforted Zion; he hath comforted all her waste places, and hath made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody."
"asv","23","51","4","Attend unto me, O my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples."
"asv","23","51","5","My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the peoples; the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust."
"asv","23","51","6","Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished."
"asv","23","51","7","Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye dismayed at their revilings."
"asv","23","51","8","For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation unto all generations."
"asv","23","51","9","Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce the monster?"
"asv","23","51","10","Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?"
"asv","23","51","11","And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy;  and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
"asv","23","51","12","I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass;"
"asv","23","51","13","and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker, that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?"
"asv","23","51","14","The captive exile shall speedily be loosed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail."
"asv","23","51","15","For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name."
"asv","23","51","16","And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people."
"asv","23","51","17","Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; thou hast drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it."
"asv","23","51","18","There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand among all the sons that she hath brought up."
"asv","23","51","19","These two things are befallen thee, who shall bemoan thee? desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword; how shall I comfort thee?"
"asv","23","51","20","Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God."
"asv","23","51","21","Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:"
"asv","23","51","22","Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; thou shalt no more drink it again:"
"asv","23","51","23","and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee, that have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to them that go over."
"asv","23","52","1","Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean."
"asv","23","52","2","Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit  on thy throne, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bonds of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."
"asv","23","52","3","For thus saith Jehovah, Ye were sold for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money."
"asv","23","52","4","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there: and the Assyrian hath oppressed them without cause."
"asv","23","52","5","Now therefore, what do I here, saith Jehovah, seeing that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them do howl, saith Jehovah, and my name continually all the day is blasphemed."
"asv","23","52","6","Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore  they shall know  in that day that I am he that doth speak; behold, it is I."
"asv","23","52","7","How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!"
"asv","23","52","8","The voice of thy watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah returneth to Zion."
"asv","23","52","9","Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem; for Jehovah hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem."
"asv","23","52","10","Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."
"asv","23","52","11","Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; cleanse yourselves, ye that bear the vessels of Jehovah."
"asv","23","52","12","For ye shall not go out in haste, neither shall ye go by flight: for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rearward."
"asv","23","52","13","Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high."
"asv","23","52","14","Like as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),"
"asv","23","52","15","so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand."
"asv","23","53","1","Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?"
"asv","23","53","2","For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him."
"asv","23","53","3","He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not."
"asv","23","53","4","Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."
"asv","23","53","5","But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
"asv","23","53","6","All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
"asv","23","53","7","He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth."
"asv","23","53","8","By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who  among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke  was due?"
"asv","23","53","9","And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth."
"asv","23","53","10","Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see  his  seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand."
"asv","23","53","11","He shall see of the travail of his soul,  and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities."
"asv","23","53","12","Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
"asv","23","54","1","Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","54","2","Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations; spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes."
"asv","23","54","3","For thou shalt spread aboard on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited."
"asv","23","54","4","Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth; and the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more."
"asv","23","54","5","For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called."
"asv","23","54","6","For Jehovah hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, saith thy God."
"asv","23","54","7","For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee."
"asv","23","54","8","In overflowing wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting lovingkindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah thy Redeemer."
"asv","23","54","9","For this is  as the waters of Noah unto me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee."
"asv","23","54","10","For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah that hath mercy on thee."
"asv","23","54","11","O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires."
"asv","23","54","12","And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones."
"asv","23","54","13","And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children."
"asv","23","54","14","In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee."
"asv","23","54","15","Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee."
"asv","23","54","16","Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy."
"asv","23","54","17","No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness which is of me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","55","1","Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."
"asv","23","55","2","Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness."
"asv","23","55","3","Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David."
"asv","23","55","4","Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples."
"asv","23","55","5","Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not; and a nation that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee."
"asv","23","55","6","Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found; call ye upon him while he is near:"
"asv","23","55","7","let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."
"asv","23","55","8","For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","55","9","For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
"asv","23","55","10","For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, and giveth seed to the sower and bread to the eater;"
"asv","23","55","11","so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
"asv","23","55","12","For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands."
"asv","23","55","13","Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir-tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree: and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
"asv","23","56","1","Thus saith Jehovah, Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed."
"asv","23","56","2","Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth it fast; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil."
"asv","23","56","3","Neither let the foreigner, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah will surely separate me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree."
"asv","23","56","4","For thus saith Jehovah of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:"
"asv","23","56","5","Unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off."
"asv","23","56","6","Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast my covenant;"
"asv","23","56","7","even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
"asv","23","56","8","The Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith, Yet will I gather  others to him, besides his own that are gathered."
"asv","23","56","9","All ye beasts of the field, come to devour,  yea, all ye beasts in the forest."
"asv","23","56","10","His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber."
"asv","23","56","11","Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter."
"asv","23","56","12","Come ye,  say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day,  a day  great beyond measure."
"asv","23","57","1","The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil  to come."
"asv","23","57","2","He entereth into peace; they rest in their beds, each one that walketh in his uprightness."
"asv","23","57","3","But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot."
"asv","23","57","4","Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,"
"asv","23","57","5","ye that inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; that slay the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?"
"asv","23","57","6","Among the smooth  stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot; even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?"
"asv","23","57","7","Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou set thy bed; thither also wentest thou up to offer sacrifice."
"asv","23","57","8","And behind the doors and the posts hast thou set up thy memorial: for thou hast uncovered  thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them: thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it."
"asv","23","57","9","And thou wentest to the king with oil, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thine ambassadors far off, and didst debase thyself even unto Sheol."
"asv","23","57","10","Thou wast wearied with the length of thy way; yet saidst thou not, It is in vain: thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not faint."
"asv","23","57","11","And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou liest, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of long time, and thou fearest me not?"
"asv","23","57","12","I will declare thy righteousness; and as for thy works, they shall not profit thee."
"asv","23","57","13","When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall take them, a breath shall carry them all away: but he that taketh refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain."
"asv","23","57","14","And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people."
"asv","23","57","15","For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite."
"asv","23","57","16","For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made."
"asv","23","57","17","For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid my face and was wroth; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart."
"asv","23","57","18","I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners."
"asv","23","57","19","I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him."
"asv","23","57","20","But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt."
"asv","23","57","21","There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked."
"asv","23","58","1","Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins."
"asv","23","58","2","Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near unto God."
"asv","23","58","3","Wherefore have we fasted,  say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find  your own pleasure, and exact all your labors."
"asv","23","58","4","Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye fast not this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high."
"asv","23","58","5","Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Jehovah?"
"asv","23","58","6","Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?"
"asv","23","58","7","Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?"
"asv","23","58","8","Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy healing shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall by thy rearward."
"asv","23","58","9","Then shalt thou call, and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;"
"asv","23","58","10","and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in darkness, and thine obscurity be as the noonday;"
"asv","23","58","11","and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not."
"asv","23","58","12","And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in."
"asv","23","58","13","If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight,  and the holy of Jehovah honorable; and shalt honor it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking  thine own words:"
"asv","23","58","14","then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","23","59","1","Behold, Jehovah’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:"
"asv","23","59","2","but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear."
"asv","23","59","3","For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness."
"asv","23","59","4","None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity."
"asv","23","59","5","They hatch adders’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper."
"asv","23","59","6","Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands."
"asv","23","59","7","Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths."
"asv","23","59","8","The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace."
"asv","23","59","9","Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity."
"asv","23","59","10","We grope for the wall like the blind; yea, we grope as they that have no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; among them that are lusty we are as dead men."
"asv","23","59","11","We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us."
"asv","23","59","12","For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:"
"asv","23","59","13","transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood."
"asv","23","59","14","And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter."
"asv","23","59","15","Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice."
"asv","23","59","16","And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it upheld him."
"asv","23","59","17","And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle."
"asv","23","59","18","According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense."
"asv","23","59","19","So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which the breath of Jehovah driveth."
"asv","23","59","20","And a Redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","59","21","And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever."
"asv","23","60","1","Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee."
"asv","23","60","2","For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."
"asv","23","60","3","And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."
"asv","23","60","4","Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms."
"asv","23","60","5","Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee."
"asv","23","60","6","The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah."
"asv","23","60","7","All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee; they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory."
"asv","23","60","8","Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?"
"asv","23","60","9","Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee."
"asv","23","60","10","And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor have I had mercy on thee."
"asv","23","60","11","Thy gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive."
"asv","23","60","12","For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted."
"asv","23","60","13","The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious."
"asv","23","60","14","And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","23","60","15","Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations."
"asv","23","60","16","Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
"asv","23","60","17","For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness."
"asv","23","60","18","Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise."
"asv","23","60","19","The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but Jehovah will be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory."
"asv","23","60","20","Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."
"asv","23","60","21","Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified."
"asv","23","60","22","The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time."
"asv","23","61","1","The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"
"asv","23","61","2","to proclaim the year of Jehovah’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
"asv","23","61","3","to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified."
"asv","23","61","4","And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations."
"asv","23","61","5","And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers."
"asv","23","61","6","But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves."
"asv","23","61","7","Instead of your shame  ye shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them."
"asv","23","61","8","For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them."
"asv","23","61","9","And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed."
"asv","23","61","10","I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."
"asv","23","61","11","For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."
"asv","23","62","1","For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth."
"asv","23","62","2","And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name."
"asv","23","62","3","Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God."
"asv","23","62","4","Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah; for Jehovah delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married."
"asv","23","62","5","For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."
"asv","23","62","6","I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that are Jehovah’s remembrancers, take ye no rest,"
"asv","23","62","7","and give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth."
"asv","23","62","8","Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy grain to be food for thine enemies; and foreigners shall not drink thy new wine, for which thou hast labored:"
"asv","23","62","9","but they that have garnered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and they that have gathered it shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary."
"asv","23","62","10","Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up an ensign for the peoples."
"asv","23","62","11","Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him."
"asv","23","62","12","And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken."
"asv","23","63","1","Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save."
"asv","23","63","2","Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?"
"asv","23","63","3","I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment."
"asv","23","63","4","For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come."
"asv","23","63","5","And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my wrath, it upheld me."
"asv","23","63","6","And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
"asv","23","63","7","I will make mention of the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah,  and  the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses."
"asv","23","63","8","For he said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not deal falsely: so he was their Saviour."
"asv","23","63","9","In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old."
"asv","23","63","10","But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy,  and himself fought against them."
"asv","23","63","11","Then he remembered the days of old, Moses  and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit in the midst of them?"
"asv","23","63","12","that caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? that divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?"
"asv","23","63","13","that led them through the depths, as a horse in the wilderness, so that they stumbled not?"
"asv","23","63","14","As the cattle that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused them to rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name."
"asv","23","63","15","Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me."
"asv","23","63","16","For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name."
"asv","23","63","17","O Jehovah, why dost thou make us to err from thy ways, and hardenest our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance."
"asv","23","63","18","Thy holy people possessed  it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary."
"asv","23","63","19","We are become as they over whom thou never barest rule, as they that were not called by thy name."
"asv","23","64","1","Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence,"
"asv","23","64","2","as when fire kindleth the brushwood,  and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!"
"asv","23","64","3","When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence."
"asv","23","64","4","For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him that waiteth for him."
"asv","23","64","5","Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou wast wroth, and we sinned: in them have we been of long time; and shall we be saved?"
"asv","23","64","6","For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away."
"asv","23","64","7","And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities."
"asv","23","64","8","But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."
"asv","23","64","9","Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, look, we beseech thee, we are all thy people."
"asv","23","64","10","Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation."
"asv","23","64","11","Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant places are laid waste."
"asv","23","64","12","Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Jehovah? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?"
"asv","23","65","1","I am inquired of by them that asked not  for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name."
"asv","23","65","2","I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;"
"asv","23","65","3","a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense upon bricks;"
"asv","23","65","4","that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;"
"asv","23","65","5","that say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day."
"asv","23","65","6","Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, yea, I will recompense into their bosom,"
"asv","23","65","7","your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith Jehovah, that have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their work into their bosom."
"asv","23","65","8","Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all."
"asv","23","65","9","And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains; and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there."
"asv","23","65","10","And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me."
"asv","23","65","11","But ye that forsake Jehovah, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that fill up mingled wine unto Destiny;"
"asv","23","65","12","I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not."
"asv","23","65","13","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame;"
"asv","23","65","14","behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit."
"asv","23","65","15","And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen; and the Lord Jehovah will slay thee; and he will call his servants by another name:"
"asv","23","65","16","so that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes."
"asv","23","65","17","For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind."
"asv","23","65","18","But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy."
"asv","23","65","19","And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying."
"asv","23","65","20","There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed."
"asv","23","65","21","And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them."
"asv","23","65","22","They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands."
"asv","23","65","23","They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them."
"asv","23","65","24","And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."
"asv","23","65","25","The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","66","1","Thus saith Jehovah, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what manner of house will ye build unto me? and what place shall be my rest?"
"asv","23","66","2","For all these things hath my hand made, and  so all these things came to be, saith Jehovah: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and that trembleth at my word."
"asv","23","66","3","He that killeth an ox is as he that slayeth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as he that breaketh a dog’s neck; he that offereth an oblation, as he that offereth swine’s blood; he that burneth frankincense, as he that blesseth an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations:"
"asv","23","66","4","I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not."
"asv","23","66","5","Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hate you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, Let Jehovah be glorified, that we may see your joy; but it is they that shall be put to shame."
"asv","23","66","6","A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompense to his enemies."
"asv","23","66","7","Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child."
"asv","23","66","8","Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children."
"asv","23","66","9","Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah: shall I that cause to bring forth shut  the womb? saith thy God."
"asv","23","66","10","Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her;"
"asv","23","66","11","that ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
"asv","23","66","12","For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and ye shall suck thereof; ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees."
"asv","23","66","13","As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem."
"asv","23","66","14","And ye shall see  it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies."
"asv","23","66","15","For, behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire."
"asv","23","66","16","For by fire will Jehovah execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah shall be many."
"asv","23","66","17","They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves  to go  unto the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","66","18","For I  know their works and their thoughts:  the time  cometh, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and shall see my glory."
"asv","23","66","19","And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations."
"asv","23","66","20","And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah."
"asv","23","66","21","And of them also will I take for priests  and for Levites, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","66","22","For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain."
"asv","23","66","23","And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","23","66","24","And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."
"asv","24","1","1","The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:"
"asv","24","1","2","to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign."
"asv","24","1","3","It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month."
"asv","24","1","4","Now the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","24","1","5","Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations."
"asv","24","1","6","Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child."
"asv","24","1","7","But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak."
"asv","24","1","8","Be not afraid because of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","1","9","Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth:"
"asv","24","1","10","see, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
"asv","24","1","11","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree."
"asv","24","1","12","Then said Jehovah unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it."
"asv","24","1","13","And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a boiling caldron; and the face thereof is from the north."
"asv","24","1","14","Then Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land."
"asv","24","1","15","For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah."
"asv","24","1","16","And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands."
"asv","24","1","17","Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I dismay thee before them."
"asv","24","1","18","For, behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land."
"asv","24","1","19","And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee."
"asv","24","2","1","And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,"
"asv","24","2","2","Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals; how thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown."
"asv","24","2","3","Israel  was holiness unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","2","4","Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:"
"asv","24","2","5","thus saith Jehovah, What unrighteousness have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?"
"asv","24","2","6","Neither said they, Where is Jehovah that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?"
"asv","24","2","7","And I brought you into a plentiful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination."
"asv","24","2","8","The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handle the law knew me not: the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit."
"asv","24","2","9","Wherefore I will yet contend with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children’s children will I contend."
"asv","24","2","10","For pass over to the isles of Kittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently; and see if there hath been such a thing."
"asv","24","2","11","Hath a nation changed  its gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit."
"asv","24","2","12","Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","2","13","For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."
"asv","24","2","14","Is Israel a servant? is he a home-born  slave? why is he become a prey?"
"asv","24","2","15","The young lions have roared upon him, and yelled; and they have made his land waste: his cities are burned up, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","2","16","The children also of Memphis and Tahpanhes have broken the crown of thy head."
"asv","24","2","17","Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, when he led thee by the way?"
"asv","24","2","18","And now what hast thou to do in the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of the Shihor? or what hast thou to do in the way to Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?"
"asv","24","2","19","Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and a bitter, that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","24","2","20","For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bonds; and thou saidst, I will not serve; for upon every high hill and under every green tree thou didst bow thyself, playing the harlot."
"asv","24","2","21","Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine unto me?"
"asv","24","2","22","For though thou wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","24","2","23","How canst thou say, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done:  thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;"
"asv","24","2","24","a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her."
"asv","24","2","25","Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, It is in vain; no, for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go."
"asv","24","2","26","As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets;"
"asv","24","2","27","who say to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us."
"asv","24","2","28","But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah."
"asv","24","2","29","Wherefore will ye contend with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","2","30","In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion."
"asv","24","2","31","O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? or a land of thick darkness? wherefore say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more unto thee?"
"asv","24","2","32","Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number."
"asv","24","2","33","How trimmest thou thy way to seek love! therefore even the wicked women hast thou taught thy ways."
"asv","24","2","34","Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor: thou didst not find them breaking in; but it is because of all these things."
"asv","24","2","35","Yet thou saidst, I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned."
"asv","24","2","36","Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt also, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria."
"asv","24","2","37","From thence also shalt thou go forth, with thy hands upon thy head: for Jehovah hath rejected those in whom thou trustest, and thou shalt not prosper with them."
"asv","24","3","1","They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, will he return unto her again? will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","3","2","Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights, and see; where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness."
"asv","24","3","3","Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hast a harlot’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed."
"asv","24","3","4","Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?"
"asv","24","3","5","Will he retain  his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and hast had thy way."
"asv","24","3","6","Moreover Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot."
"asv","24","3","7","And I said after she had done all these things, She will return unto me; but she returned not: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it."
"asv","24","3","8","And I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot."
"asv","24","3","9","And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks."
"asv","24","3","10","And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","3","11","And Jehovah said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath showed herself more righteous than treacherous Judah."
"asv","24","3","12","Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah; I will not look in anger upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah, I will not keep  anger for ever."
"asv","24","3","13","Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","3","14","Return, O backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:"
"asv","24","3","15","and I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
"asv","24","3","16","And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more."
"asv","24","3","17","At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart."
"asv","24","3","18","In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance unto your fathers."
"asv","24","3","19","But I said, How I will put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of the nations! and I said, Ye shall call me My Father, and shall not turn away from following me."
"asv","24","3","20","Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","3","21","A voice is heard upon the bare heights, the weeping  and the supplications of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God."
"asv","24","3","22","Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we are come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God."
"asv","24","3","23","Truly in vain is  the help that is looked for from the hills, the tumult on the mountains: truly in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel."
"asv","24","3","24","But the shameful thing hath devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters."
"asv","24","3","25","Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day; and we have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God."
"asv","24","4","1","If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jehovah, if thou wilt return unto me, and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight; then shalt thou not be removed;"
"asv","24","4","2","and thou shalt swear, As Jehovah liveth, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory."
"asv","24","4","3","For thus saith Jehovah to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns."
"asv","24","4","4","Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."
"asv","24","4","5","Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities."
"asv","24","4","6","Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction."
"asv","24","4","7","A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","4","8","For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us."
"asv","24","4","9","And it shall come to pass at that day, saith Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder."
"asv","24","4","10","Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the life."
"asv","24","4","11","At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;"
"asv","24","4","12","a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them."
"asv","24","4","13","Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots  shall be  as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are ruined."
"asv","24","4","14","O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?"
"asv","24","4","15","For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth evil from the hills of Ephraim:"
"asv","24","4","16","make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah."
"asv","24","4","17","As keepers of a field are they against her round about, because she hath been rebellious against me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","4","18","Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reacheth unto thy heart."
"asv","24","4","19","My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war."
"asv","24","4","20","Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed,  and my curtains in a moment."
"asv","24","4","21","How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?"
"asv","24","4","22","For my people are foolish, they know me not; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
"asv","24","4","23","I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light."
"asv","24","4","24","I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro."
"asv","24","4","25","I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled."
"asv","24","4","26","I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of Jehovah,  and  before his fierce anger."
"asv","24","4","27","For thus saith Jehovah, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end."
"asv","24","4","28","For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it."
"asv","24","4","29","Every city fleeth for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein."
"asv","24","4","30","And thou, when thou art made desolate, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlargest thine eyes with paint, in vain dost thou make thyself fair;  thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life."
"asv","24","4","31","For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands,  saying, Woe is me now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers."
"asv","24","5","1","Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her."
"asv","24","5","2","And though they say, As Jehovah liveth; surely they swear falsely."
"asv","24","5","3","O Jehovah, do not thine eyes look upon truth? thou hast stricken them, but they were not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return."
"asv","24","5","4","Then I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they know not the way of Jehovah, nor the law of their God:"
"asv","24","5","5","I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of Jehovah, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds."
"asv","24","5","6","Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many,  and their backslidings are increased."
"asv","24","5","7","How can I pardon thee? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots’ houses."
"asv","24","5","8","They were as fed horses roaming at large; every one neighed after his neighbor’s wife."
"asv","24","5","9","Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah; and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
"asv","24","5","10","Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Jehovah’s."
"asv","24","5","11","For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","5","12","They have denied Jehovah, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:"
"asv","24","5","13","and the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them."
"asv","24","5","14","Wherefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them."
"asv","24","5","15","Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say."
"asv","24","5","16","Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men."
"asv","24","5","17","And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread,  which thy sons and thy daughters should eat; they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds; they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall beat down thy fortified cities, wherein thou trustest, with the sword."
"asv","24","5","18","But even in those days, saith Jehovah, I will not make a full end with you."
"asv","24","5","19","And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah our God done all these things unto us? then shalt thou say unto them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours."
"asv","24","5","20","Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,"
"asv","24","5","21","Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; that have eyes, and see not; that have ears, and hear not:"
"asv","24","5","22","Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it."
"asv","24","5","23","But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone."
"asv","24","5","24","Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear Jehovah our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; that preserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest."
"asv","24","5","25","Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you."
"asv","24","5","26","For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men."
"asv","24","5","27","As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxed rich."
"asv","24","5","28","They are waxed fat, they shine: yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge."
"asv","24","5","29","Shall I not visit for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
"asv","24","5","30","A wonderful and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:"
"asv","24","5","31","the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?"
"asv","24","6","1","Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction."
"asv","24","6","2","The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off."
"asv","24","6","3","Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place."
"asv","24","6","4","Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out."
"asv","24","6","5","Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces."
"asv","24","6","6","For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her."
"asv","24","6","7","As a well casteth forth its waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds."
"asv","24","6","8","Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited."
"asv","24","6","9","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets."
"asv","24","6","10","To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Jehovah is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it."
"asv","24","6","11","Therefore I am full of the wrath of Jehovah; I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days."
"asv","24","6","12","And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","6","13","For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely."
"asv","24","6","14","They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
"asv","24","6","15","Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","6","16","Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk  therein."
"asv","24","6","17","And I set watchmen over you,  saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken."
"asv","24","6","18","Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them."
"asv","24","6","19","Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it."
"asv","24","6","20","To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me."
"asv","24","6","21","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish."
"asv","24","6","22","Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth."
"asv","24","6","23","They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion."
"asv","24","6","24","We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us,  and pangs as of a woman in travail."
"asv","24","6","25","Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy,  and terror, are on every side."
"asv","24","6","26","O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us."
"asv","24","6","27","I have made thee a trier  and a fortress among my people; that thou mayest know and try their way."
"asv","24","6","28","They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly."
"asv","24","6","29","The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away."
"asv","24","6","30","Refuse silver shall men call them, because Jehovah hath rejected them."
"asv","24","7","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","7","2","Stand in the gate of Jehovah’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah."
"asv","24","7","3","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place."
"asv","24","7","4","Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are these."
"asv","24","7","5","For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;"
"asv","24","7","6","if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:"
"asv","24","7","7","then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even for evermore."
"asv","24","7","8","Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit."
"asv","24","7","9","Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye have not known,"
"asv","24","7","10","and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered; that ye may do all these abominations?"
"asv","24","7","11","Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","7","12","But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel."
"asv","24","7","13","And now, because ye have done all these works, saith Jehovah, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not:"
"asv","24","7","14","therefore will I do unto the house which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh."
"asv","24","7","15","And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim."
"asv","24","7","16","Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee."
"asv","24","7","17","Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?"
"asv","24","7","18","The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger."
"asv","24","7","19","Do they provoke me to anger? saith Jehovah;  do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?"
"asv","24","7","20","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, mine anger and my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched."
"asv","24","7","21","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh."
"asv","24","7","22","For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices:"
"asv","24","7","23","but this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you."
"asv","24","7","24","But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels  and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward."
"asv","24","7","25","Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:"
"asv","24","7","26","yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers."
"asv","24","7","27","And thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee."
"asv","24","7","28","And thou shalt say unto them, This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth."
"asv","24","7","29","Cut off thy hair,  O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for Jehovah hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath."
"asv","24","7","30","For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, saith Jehovah: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it."
"asv","24","7","31","And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into my mind."
"asv","24","7","32","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place  to bury."
"asv","24","7","33","And the dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away."
"asv","24","7","34","Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste."
"asv","24","8","1","At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;"
"asv","24","8","2","and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth."
"asv","24","8","3","And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","24","8","4","Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?"
"asv","24","8","5","Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return."
"asv","24","8","6","I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turneth to his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle."
"asv","24","8","7","Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of Jehovah."
"asv","24","8","8","How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes hath wrought falsely."
"asv","24","8","9","The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what manner of wisdom is in them?"
"asv","24","8","10","Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely."
"asv","24","8","11","And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
"asv","24","8","12","Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","8","13","I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade; and  the things that I have given them shall pass away from them."
"asv","24","8","14","Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah."
"asv","24","8","15","We looked for peace, but no good came;  and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!"
"asv","24","8","16","The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those that dwell therein."
"asv","24","8","17","For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","8","18","Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me."
"asv","24","8","19","Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?"
"asv","24","8","20","The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved."
"asv","24","8","21","For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay hath taken hold on me."
"asv","24","8","22","Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?"
"asv","24","9","1","Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!"
"asv","24","9","2","Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging-place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men."
"asv","24","9","3","And they bend their tongue,  as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","9","4","Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders."
"asv","24","9","5","And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity."
"asv","24","9","6","Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","9","7","Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how  else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?"
"asv","24","9","8","Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him."
"asv","24","9","9","Shall I not visit them for these things? saith Jehovah; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
"asv","24","9","10","For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the birds of the heavens and the beasts are fled, they are gone."
"asv","24","9","11","And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","9","12","Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and  who is  he to whom the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that he may declare it? wherefore is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?"
"asv","24","9","13","And Jehovah saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein,"
"asv","24","9","14","but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them;"
"asv","24","9","15","therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink."
"asv","24","9","16","I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them."
"asv","24","9","17","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skilful women, that they may come:"
"asv","24","9","18","and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters."
"asv","24","9","19","For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings."
"asv","24","9","20","Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation."
"asv","24","9","21","For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from without,  and the young men from the streets."
"asv","24","9","22","Speak, Thus saith Jehovah, The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman; and none shall gather  them."
"asv","24","9","23","Thus saith Jehovah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches;"
"asv","24","9","24","but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he hath understanding, and knoweth me, that I am Jehovah who exerciseth lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","9","25","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish all them that are circumcised in  their uncircumcision:"
"asv","24","9","26","Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners  of their hair cut off, that dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart."
"asv","24","10","1","Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:"
"asv","24","10","2","thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them."
"asv","24","10","3","For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe."
"asv","24","10","4","They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
"asv","24","10","5","They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
"asv","24","10","6","There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might."
"asv","24","10","7","Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee."
"asv","24","10","8","But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock."
"asv","24","10","9","There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men."
"asv","24","10","10","But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation."
"asv","24","10","11","Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens."
"asv","24","10","12","He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:"
"asv","24","10","13","when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries."
"asv","24","10","14","Every man is become brutish  and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them."
"asv","24","10","15","They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish."
"asv","24","10","16","The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name."
"asv","24","10","17","Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege."
"asv","24","10","18","For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel  it."
"asv","24","10","19","Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is  my grief, and I must bear it."
"asv","24","10","20","My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains."
"asv","24","10","21","For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered."
"asv","24","10","22","The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals."
"asv","24","10","23","O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps."
"asv","24","10","24","O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure: not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing."
"asv","24","10","25","Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."
"asv","24","11","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","11","2","Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;"
"asv","24","11","3","and say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man that heareth not the words of this covenant,"
"asv","24","11","4","which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God;"
"asv","24","11","5","that I may establish the oath which I sware unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, O Jehovah."
"asv","24","11","6","And Jehovah said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them."
"asv","24","11","7","For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice."
"asv","24","11","8","Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not."
"asv","24","11","9","And Jehovah said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"asv","24","11","10","They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers."
"asv","24","11","11","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them."
"asv","24","11","12","Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble."
"asv","24","11","13","For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal."
"asv","24","11","14","Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me because of their trouble."
"asv","24","11","15","What hath my beloved to do in my house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest."
"asv","24","11","16","Jehovah called thy name, A green olive-tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken."
"asv","24","11","17","For Jehovah of hosts, who planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal."
"asv","24","11","18","And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou showedst me their doings."
"asv","24","11","19","But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me,  saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered."
"asv","24","11","20","But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judgest righteously, who triest the heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause."
"asv","24","11","21","Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that thou die not by our hand;"
"asv","24","11","22","therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;"
"asv","24","11","23","and there shall be no remnant unto them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation."
"asv","24","12","1","Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?"
"asv","24","12","2","Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their heart."
"asv","24","12","3","But thou, O Jehovah, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter."
"asv","24","12","4","How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end."
"asv","24","12","5","If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?"
"asv","24","12","6","For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee."
"asv","24","12","7","I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies."
"asv","24","12","8","My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her."
"asv","24","12","9","Is my heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour."
"asv","24","12","10","Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness."
"asv","24","12","11","They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart."
"asv","24","12","12","Destroyers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace."
"asv","24","12","13","They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah."
"asv","24","12","14","Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them."
"asv","24","12","15","And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land."
"asv","24","12","16","And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people."
"asv","24","12","17","But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","13","1","Thus saith Jehovah unto me, Go, and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water."
"asv","24","13","2","So I bought a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins."
"asv","24","13","3","And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying,"
"asv","24","13","4","Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."
"asv","24","13","5","So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me."
"asv","24","13","6","And it came to pass after many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there."
"asv","24","13","7","Then I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing."
"asv","24","13","8","Then the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","24","13","9","Thus saith Jehovah, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem."
"asv","24","13","10","This evil people, that refuse to hear my words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing."
"asv","24","13","11","For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they may be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear."
"asv","24","13","12","Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?"
"asv","24","13","13","Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness."
"asv","24","13","14","And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith Jehovah: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them."
"asv","24","13","15","Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud; for Jehovah hath spoken."
"asv","24","13","16","Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness."
"asv","24","13","17","But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for  your  pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah’s flock is taken captive."
"asv","24","13","18","Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother, Humble yourselves, sit down; for your headtires are come down, even the crown of your glory."
"asv","24","13","19","The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them: Judah is carried away captive, all of it; it is wholly carried away captive."
"asv","24","13","20","Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?"
"asv","24","13","21","What wilt thou say, when he shall set over thee as head those whom thou hast thyself taught to be friends to thee? shall not sorrows take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?"
"asv","24","13","22","And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore are these things come upon me? for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence."
"asv","24","13","23","Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil."
"asv","24","13","24","Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away, by the wind of the wilderness."
"asv","24","13","25","This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood."
"asv","24","13","26","Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear."
"asv","24","13","27","I have seen thine abominations, even thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?"
"asv","24","14","1","The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought."
"asv","24","14","2","Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up."
"asv","24","14","3","And their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads."
"asv","24","14","4","Because of the ground which is cracked, for that no rain hath been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their heads."
"asv","24","14","5","Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh  her young, because there is no grass."
"asv","24","14","6","And the wild asses stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage."
"asv","24","14","7","Though our iniquities testify against us, work thou for thy name’s sake, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee."
"asv","24","14","8","O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?"
"asv","24","14","9","Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not."
"asv","24","14","10","Thus saith Jehovah unto this people, Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins."
"asv","24","14","11","And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this people for  their  good."
"asv","24","14","12","When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence."
"asv","24","14","13","Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place."
"asv","24","14","14","Then Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake I unto them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart."
"asv","24","14","15","Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed."
"asv","24","14","16","And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them-them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them."
"asv","24","14","17","And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound."
"asv","24","14","18","If I go forth into the field, then, behold, the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge."
"asv","24","14","19","Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!"
"asv","24","14","20","We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee."
"asv","24","14","21","Do not abhor  us, for thy name’s sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us."
"asv","24","14","22","Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things."
"asv","24","15","1","Then said Jehovah unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth."
"asv","24","15","2","And it shall come to pass, when they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity."
"asv","24","15","3","And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy."
"asv","24","15","4","And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem."
"asv","24","15","5","For who will have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who will bemoan thee? or who will turn aside to ask of thy welfare?"
"asv","24","15","6","Thou hast rejected me, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee; I am weary with repenting."
"asv","24","15","7","And I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved  them of children, I have destroyed my people; they returned not from their ways."
"asv","24","15","8","Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly."
"asv","24","15","9","She that hath borne seven languisheth; she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she hath been put to shame and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","15","10","Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me;  yet every one of them doth curse me."
"asv","24","15","11","Jehovah said, Verily I will strengthen thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction."
"asv","24","15","12","Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?"
"asv","24","15","13","Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders."
"asv","24","15","14","And I will make  them to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you."
"asv","24","15","15","O Jehovah, thou knowest; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach."
"asv","24","15","16","Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts."
"asv","24","15","17","I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation."
"asv","24","15","18","Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful  brook, as waters that fail?"
"asv","24","15","19","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, that thou mayest stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto them."
"asv","24","15","20","And I will make thee unto this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","15","21","And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible."
"asv","24","16","1","The word of Jehovah came also unto me, saying,"
"asv","24","16","2","Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place."
"asv","24","16","3","For thus saith Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land:"
"asv","24","16","4","They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth."
"asv","24","16","5","For thus saith Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies."
"asv","24","16","6","Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;"
"asv","24","16","7","neither shall men break  bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother."
"asv","24","16","8","And thou shalt not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink."
"asv","24","16","9","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride."
"asv","24","16","10","And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?"
"asv","24","16","11","Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;"
"asv","24","16","12","and ye have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me:"
"asv","24","16","13","therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor."
"asv","24","16","14","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;"
"asv","24","16","15","but, As Jehovah liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries whither he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers."
"asv","24","16","16","Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks."
"asv","24","16","17","For mine eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from mine eyes."
"asv","24","16","18","And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled mine inheritance with their abominations."
"asv","24","16","19","O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, unto thee shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nought but lies,  even vanity and things wherein there is no profit."
"asv","24","16","20","Shall a man make unto himself gods, which yet are no gods?"
"asv","24","16","21","Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Jehovah."
"asv","24","17","1","The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron,  and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;"
"asv","24","17","2","whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills."
"asv","24","17","3","O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil,  and thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders."
"asv","24","17","4","And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever."
"asv","24","17","5","Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah."
"asv","24","17","6","For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited."
"asv","24","17","7","Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is."
"asv","24","17","8","For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
"asv","24","17","9","The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?"
"asv","24","17","10","I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings."
"asv","24","17","11","As the partridge that sitteth on  eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool."
"asv","24","17","12","A glorious throne,  set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary."
"asv","24","17","13","O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be put to shame. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters."
"asv","24","17","14","Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise."
"asv","24","17","15","Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it come now."
"asv","24","17","16","As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face."
"asv","24","17","17","Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil."
"asv","24","17","18","Let them be put to shame that persecute me, but let not me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction."
"asv","24","17","19","Thus said Jehovah unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;"
"asv","24","17","20","and say unto them, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:"
"asv","24","17","21","Thus saith Jehovah, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;"
"asv","24","17","22","neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work: but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers."
"asv","24","17","23","But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction."
"asv","24","17","24","And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;"
"asv","24","17","25","then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain for ever."
"asv","24","17","26","And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and meal-offerings, and frankincense, and bringing  sacrifices of thanksgiving, unto the house of Jehovah."
"asv","24","17","27","But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched."
"asv","24","18","1","The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","18","2","Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words."
"asv","24","18","3","Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels."
"asv","24","18","4","And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it."
"asv","24","18","5","Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,"
"asv","24","18","6","O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel."
"asv","24","18","7","At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;"
"asv","24","18","8","if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them."
"asv","24","18","9","And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;"
"asv","24","18","10","if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them."
"asv","24","18","11","Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings."
"asv","24","18","12","But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart."
"asv","24","18","13","Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, who hath heard such things; the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing."
"asv","24","18","14","Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field?  or  shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?"
"asv","24","18","15","For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a way not cast up;"
"asv","24","18","16","to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head."
"asv","24","18","17","I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity."
"asv","24","18","18","Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."
"asv","24","18","19","Give heed to me, O Jehovah, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me."
"asv","24","18","20","Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them."
"asv","24","18","21","Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death,  and their young men smitten of the sword in battle."
"asv","24","18","22","Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet."
"asv","24","18","23","Yet, Jehovah, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me; forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight; but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thou with them in the time of thine anger."
"asv","24","19","1","Thus said Jehovah, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, and  take  of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;"
"asv","24","19","2","and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee;"
"asv","24","19","3","and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle."
"asv","24","19","4","Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,"
"asv","24","19","5","and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:"
"asv","24","19","6","therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter."
"asv","24","19","7","And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth."
"asv","24","19","8","And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof."
"asv","24","19","9","And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall distress them."
"asv","24","19","10","Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,"
"asv","24","19","11","and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury."
"asv","24","19","12","Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth:"
"asv","24","19","13","and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods."
"asv","24","19","14","Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah’s house, and said to all the people:"
"asv","24","19","15","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words."
"asv","24","20","1","Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Jehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things."
"asv","24","20","2","Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","24","20","3","And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib."
"asv","24","20","4","For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword."
"asv","24","20","5","Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the precious things thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon."
"asv","24","20","6","And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely."
"asv","24","20","7","O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I was persuaded; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh me."
"asv","24","20","8","For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day."
"asv","24","20","9","And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot  contain."
"asv","24","20","10","For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him,  say all my familiar friends, they that watch for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him."
"asv","24","20","11","But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one  and a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten."
"asv","24","20","12","But, O Jehovah of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause."
"asv","24","20","13","Sing unto Jehovah, praise ye Jehovah; for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers."
"asv","24","20","14","Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed."
"asv","24","20","15","Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee; making him very glad."
"asv","24","20","16","And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;"
"asv","24","20","17","because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great."
"asv","24","20","18","Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?"
"asv","24","21","1","The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying,"
"asv","24","21","2","Inquire, I pray thee, of Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us: peradventure Jehovah will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us."
"asv","24","21","3","Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:"
"asv","24","21","4","Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans that besiege you, without the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this city."
"asv","24","21","5","And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation."
"asv","24","21","6","And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence."
"asv","24","21","7","And afterward, saith Jehovah, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy."
"asv","24","21","8","And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death."
"asv","24","21","9","He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth out, and passeth over to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey."
"asv","24","21","10","For I have set my face upon this city for evil, and not for good, saith Jehovah: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire."
"asv","24","21","11","And touching the house of the king of Judah, hear ye the word of Jehovah:"
"asv","24","21","12","O house of David, thus saith Jehovah, Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."
"asv","24","21","13","Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley,  and  of the rock of the plain, saith Jehovah; you that say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?"
"asv","24","21","14","And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith Jehovah; and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her."
"asv","24","22","1","Thus said Jehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,"
"asv","24","22","2","And say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates."
"asv","24","22","3","Thus saith Jehovah: Execute ye justice and righteousness, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the sojourner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place."
"asv","24","22","4","For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people."
"asv","24","22","5","But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a desolation."
"asv","24","22","6","For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art Gilead unto me,  and the head of Lebanon;  yet surely I will make thee a wilderness,  and cities which are not inhabited."
"asv","24","22","7","And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire."
"asv","24","22","8","And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this great city?"
"asv","24","22","9","Then they shall answer, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them."
"asv","24","22","10","Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore for him that goeth away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country."
"asv","24","22","11","For thus saith Jehovah touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father,  and who went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more."
"asv","24","22","12","But in the place whither they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more."
"asv","24","22","13","Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that useth his neighbor’s service without wages, and giveth him not his hire;"
"asv","24","22","14","that saith, I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion."
"asv","24","22","15","Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him."
"asv","24","22","16","He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","22","17","But thine eyes and thy heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it."
"asv","24","22","18","Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: they shall not lament for him,  saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! They shall not lament for him,  saying Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!"
"asv","24","22","19","He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
"asv","24","22","20","Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all thy lovers are destroyed."
"asv","24","22","21","I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice."
"asv","24","22","22","The wind shall feed all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness."
"asv","24","22","23","O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!"
"asv","24","22","24","As I live, saith Jehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;"
"asv","24","22","25","and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them of whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans."
"asv","24","22","26","And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die."
"asv","24","22","27","But to the land whereunto their soul longeth to return, thither shall they not return."
"asv","24","22","28","Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein none delighteth? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into the land which they know not?"
"asv","24","22","29","O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah."
"asv","24","22","30","Thus saith Jehovah, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no more shall a man of his seed prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling in Judah."
"asv","24","23","1","Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","2","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, against the shepherds that feed my people: Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them; behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","3","And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and multiply."
"asv","24","23","4","And I will set up shepherds over them, who shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be lacking, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","5","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land."
"asv","24","23","6","In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness."
"asv","24","23","7","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that they shall no more say, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;"
"asv","24","23","8","but, As Jehovah liveth, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land."
"asv","24","23","9","Concerning the prophets. My heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of Jehovah, and because of his holy words."
"asv","24","23","10","For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up. And their course is evil, and their might is not right;"
"asv","24","23","11","for both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","12","Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","13","And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err."
"asv","24","23","14","In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies; and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, so that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah."
"asv","24","23","15","Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is ungodliness gone forth into all the land."
"asv","24","23","16","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","17","They say continually unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you."
"asv","24","23","18","For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it?"
"asv","24","23","19","Behold, the tempest of Jehovah,  even his wrath, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked."
"asv","24","23","20","The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly."
"asv","24","23","21","I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesied."
"asv","24","23","22","But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings."
"asv","24","23","23","Am I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, and not a God afar off?"
"asv","24","23","24","Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him? saith Jehovah. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","25","I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed."
"asv","24","23","26","How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?"
"asv","24","23","27","that think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgat my name for Baal."
"asv","24","23","28","The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the straw to the wheat? saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","29","Is not my word like fire? saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"
"asv","24","23","30","Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that steal my words every one from his neighbor."
"asv","24","23","31","Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Jehovah, that use their tongues, and say, He saith."
"asv","24","23","32","Behold, I am against them that prophesy lying dreams, saith Jehovah, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain boasting: yet I sent them not, nor commanded them; neither do they profit this people at all, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","33","And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? then shalt thou say unto them, What burden! I will cast you off, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","23","34","And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Jehovah, I will even punish that man and his house."
"asv","24","23","35","Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath Jehovah answered? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?"
"asv","24","23","36","And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts our God."
"asv","24","23","37","Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath Jehovah answered thee? and, What hath Jehovah spoken?"
"asv","24","23","38","But if ye say, The burden of Jehovah; therefore thus saith Jehovah: Because ye say this word, The burden of Jehovah, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;"
"asv","24","23","39","therefore, behold, I will utterly forget you, and I will cast you off, and the city that I gave unto you and to your fathers, away from my presence:"
"asv","24","23","40","and I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten."
"asv","24","24","1","Jehovah showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon."
"asv","24","24","2","One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad."
"asv","24","24","3","Then said Jehovah unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad."
"asv","24","24","4","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","24","24","5","Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good."
"asv","24","24","6","For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up."
"asv","24","24","7","And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return unto me with their whole heart."
"asv","24","24","8","And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus saith Jehovah, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt,"
"asv","24","24","9","I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them."
"asv","24","24","10","And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers."
"asv","24","25","1","The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,)"
"asv","24","25","2","which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:"
"asv","24","25","3","From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened."
"asv","24","25","4","And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, (but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,)"
"asv","24","25","5","saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore;"
"asv","24","25","6","and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt."
"asv","24","25","7","Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt."
"asv","24","25","8","Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not heard my words,"
"asv","24","25","9","behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and  I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations."
"asv","24","25","10","Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp."
"asv","24","25","11","And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years."
"asv","24","25","12","And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith Jehovah, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever."
"asv","24","25","13","And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations."
"asv","24","25","14","For many nations and great kings shall make bondmen of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands."
"asv","24","25","15","For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it."
"asv","24","25","16","And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
"asv","24","25","17","Then took I the cup at Jehovah’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom Jehovah had sent me:"
"asv","24","25","18"," to wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;"
"asv","24","25","19","Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;"
"asv","24","25","20","and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;"
"asv","24","25","21","Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;"
"asv","24","25","22","and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;"
"asv","24","25","23","Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners  of their hair cut off;"
"asv","24","25","24","and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness;"
"asv","24","25","25","and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;"
"asv","24","25","26","and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them."
"asv","24","25","27","And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."
"asv","24","25","28","And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely drink."
"asv","24","25","29","For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","24","25","30","Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as they that tread  the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth."
"asv","24","25","31","A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","25","32","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth."
"asv","24","25","33","And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground."
"asv","24","25","34","Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow  in ashes, ye principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel."
"asv","24","25","35","And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape."
"asv","24","25","36","A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock! for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture."
"asv","24","25","37","And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Jehovah."
"asv","24","25","38","He hath left his covert, as the lion; for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing  sword, and because of his fierce anger."
"asv","24","26","1","In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","26","2","Thus saith Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Jehovah’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word."
"asv","24","26","3","It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings."
"asv","24","26","4","And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,"
"asv","24","26","5","to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send unto you, even rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;"
"asv","24","26","6","then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth."
"asv","24","26","7","And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","24","26","8","And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die."
"asv","24","26","9","Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered unto Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","24","26","10","And when the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house unto the house of Jehovah; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Jehovah’s  house."
"asv","24","26","11","Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears."
"asv","24","26","12","Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard."
"asv","24","26","13","Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah your God; and Jehovah will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you."
"asv","24","26","14","But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes."
"asv","24","26","15","Only know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof; for of a truth Jehovah hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears."
"asv","24","26","16","Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets: This man is not worthy of death; for he hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God."
"asv","24","26","17","Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,"
"asv","24","26","18","Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."
"asv","24","26","19","Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat the favor of Jehovah, and Jehovah repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls."
"asv","24","26","20","And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:"
"asv","24","26","21","and when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty-men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt:"
"asv","24","26","22","and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt,  namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;"
"asv","24","26","23","and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people."
"asv","24","26","24","But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death."
"asv","24","27","1","In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","27","2","Thus saith Jehovah to me: Make thee bonds and bars, and put them upon thy neck;"
"asv","24","27","3","and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;"
"asv","24","27","4","and give them a charge unto their masters, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your masters:"
"asv","24","27","5","I have made the earth, the men and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto me."
"asv","24","27","6","And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him."
"asv","24","27","7","And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman."
"asv","24","27","8","And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith Jehovah, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand."
"asv","24","27","9","But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:"
"asv","24","27","10","for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish."
"asv","24","27","11","But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that  nation will I let remain in their own land, saith Jehovah; and they shall till it, and dwell therein."
"asv","24","27","12","And I spake to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live."
"asv","24","27","13","Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?"
"asv","24","27","14","And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you."
"asv","24","27","15","For I have not sent them, saith Jehovah, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that ye may perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you."
"asv","24","27","16","Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah’s house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you."
"asv","24","27","17","Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city become a desolation?"
"asv","24","27","18","But if they be prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon."
"asv","24","27","19","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,"
"asv","24","27","20","which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;"
"asv","24","27","21","yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:"
"asv","24","27","22","They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them, saith Jehovah; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place."
"asv","24","28","1","And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of Jehovah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,"
"asv","24","28","2","Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon."
"asv","24","28","3","Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Jehovah’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon:"
"asv","24","28","4","and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went to Babylon, saith Jehovah; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon."
"asv","24","28","5","Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah,"
"asv","24","28","6","even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Jehovah do so; Jehovah perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Jehovah’s house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon unto this place."
"asv","24","28","7","Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people:"
"asv","24","28","8","The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence."
"asv","24","28","9","The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Jehovah hath truly sent him."
"asv","24","28","10","Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it."
"asv","24","28","11","And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way."
"asv","24","28","12","Then the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","28","13","Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast broken the bars of wood; but thou hast made in their stead bars of iron."
"asv","24","28","14","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also."
"asv","24","28","15","Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie."
"asv","24","28","16","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah."
"asv","24","28","17","So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month."
"asv","24","29","1","Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon,"
"asv","24","29","2","(after that Jeconiah the king, and the queen-mother, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem,)"
"asv","24","29","3","by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,) saying,"
"asv","24","29","4","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away captive from Jerusalem unto Babylon:"
"asv","24","29","5","Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them."
"asv","24","29","6","Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply ye there, and be not diminished."
"asv","24","29","7","And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto Jehovah for it; for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace."
"asv","24","29","8","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners, deceive you; neither hearken ye to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed."
"asv","24","29","9","For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","29","10","For thus saith Jehovah, After seventy years are accomplished for Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place."
"asv","24","29","11","For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end."
"asv","24","29","12","And ye shall call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you."
"asv","24","29","13","And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
"asv","24","29","14","And I will be found of you, saith Jehovah, and I will turn again your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places wither I have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will bring you again unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive."
"asv","24","29","15","Because ye have said, Jehovah hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;"
"asv","24","29","16","thus saith Jehovah concerning the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and concerning all the people that dwell in this city, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;"
"asv","24","29","17","thus saith Jehovah of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad."
"asv","24","29","18","And I will pursue after them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be an execration, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them;"
"asv","24","29","19","because they have not hearkened to my words, saith Jehovah, wherewith I sent unto them my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","29","20","Hear ye therefore the word of Jehovah, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon."
"asv","24","29","21","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie unto you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;"
"asv","24","29","22","and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captives of Judah that are in Babylon, saying, Jehovah make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;"
"asv","24","29","23","because they have wrought folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken words in my name falsely, which I commanded them not; and I am he that knoweth, and am witness, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","29","24","And concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite thou shalt speak, saying,"
"asv","24","29","25","Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thine own name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying,"
"asv","24","29","26","Jehovah hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the house of Jehovah, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in the stocks and in shackles."
"asv","24","29","27","Now therefore, why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you,"
"asv","24","29","28","forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying,  The captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them?"
"asv","24","29","29","And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet."
"asv","24","29","30","Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","29","31","Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith Jehovah concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath caused you to trust in a lie;"
"asv","24","29","32","therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do unto my people, saith Jehovah, because he hath spoken rebellion against Jehovah."
"asv","24","30","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","30","2","Thus speaketh Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book."
"asv","24","30","3","For, lo, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it."
"asv","24","30","4","And these are the words that Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah."
"asv","24","30","5","For thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace."
"asv","24","30","6","Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?"
"asv","24","30","7","Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it."
"asv","24","30","8","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman;"
"asv","24","30","9","but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them."
"asv","24","30","10","Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid."
"asv","24","30","11","For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished."
"asv","24","30","12","For thus saith Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous."
"asv","24","30","13","There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines."
"asv","24","30","14","All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased."
"asv","24","30","15","Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee."
"asv","24","30","16","Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey."
"asv","24","30","17","For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; because they have called thee an outcast,  saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeketh after."
"asv","24","30","18","Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner."
"asv","24","30","19","And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small."
"asv","24","30","20","Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them."
"asv","24","30","21","And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to approach unto me? saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","30","22","And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
"asv","24","30","23","Behold, the tempest of Jehovah,  even his wrath, is gone forth, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked."
"asv","24","30","24","The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it."
"asv","24","31","1","At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people."
"asv","24","31","2","Thus saith Jehovah, The people that were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest."
"asv","24","31","3","Jehovah appeared of old unto me,  saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
"asv","24","31","4","Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: again shalt thou be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry."
"asv","24","31","5","Again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy  the fruit thereof."
"asv","24","31","6","For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto Jehovah our God."
"asv","24","31","7","For thus saith Jehovah, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel."
"asv","24","31","8","Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth,  and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall they return hither."
"asv","24","31","9","They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born."
"asv","24","31","10","Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock."
"asv","24","31","11","For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he."
"asv","24","31","12","And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow unto the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all."
"asv","24","31","13","Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow."
"asv","24","31","14","And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","31","15","Thus saith Jehovah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not."
"asv","24","31","16","Thus saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded, saith Jehovah; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy."
"asv","24","31","17","And there is hope for thy latter end, saith Jehovah; and  thy  children shall come again to their own border."
"asv","24","31","18","I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself  thus, Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf unaccustomed  to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art Jehovah my God."
"asv","24","31","19","Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth."
"asv","24","31","20","Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a darling child? for as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my heart yearneth for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","31","21","Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts; set thy heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities."
"asv","24","31","22","How long wilt thou go hither and thither, O thou backsliding daughter? for Jehovah hath created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man."
"asv","24","31","23","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O mountain of holiness."
"asv","24","31","24","And Judah and all the cities thereof shall dwell therein together, the husbandmen, and they that go about with flocks."
"asv","24","31","25","For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul have I replenished."
"asv","24","31","26","Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me."
"asv","24","31","27","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast."
"asv","24","31","28","And it shall come to pass that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so will I watch over them to build and to plant, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","31","29","In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge."
"asv","24","31","30","But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge."
"asv","24","31","31","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:"
"asv","24","31","32","not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","31","33","But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people:"
"asv","24","31","34","and they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more."
"asv","24","31","35","Thus saith Jehovah, who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; Jehovah of hosts is his name:"
"asv","24","31","36","If these ordinances depart from before me, saith Jehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever."
"asv","24","31","37","Thus saith Jehovah: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","31","38","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the tower of Hananel unto the gate of the corner."
"asv","24","31","39","And the measuring line shall go out further straight onward unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn about unto Goah."
"asv","24","31","40","And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto Jehovah; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever."
"asv","24","32","1","The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar."
"asv","24","32","2","Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house."
"asv","24","32","3","For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;"
"asv","24","32","4","and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;"
"asv","24","32","5","and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?"
"asv","24","32","6","And Jeremiah said, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","24","32","7","Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is thine to buy it."
"asv","24","32","8","So Hanamel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Jehovah, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah."
"asv","24","32","9","And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver."
"asv","24","32","10","And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances."
"asv","24","32","11","So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, according to the law and custom, and that which was open:"
"asv","24","32","12","and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle’s  son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard."
"asv","24","32","13","And I charged Baruch before them, saying,"
"asv","24","32","14","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days."
"asv","24","32","15","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land."
"asv","24","32","16","Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","32","17","Ah Lord Jehovah! behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for thee,"
"asv","24","32","18","who showest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, Jehovah of hosts is his name;"
"asv","24","32","19","great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:"
"asv","24","32","20","who didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, both in Israel and among  other men; and madest thee a name, as at this day;"
"asv","24","32","21","and didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;"
"asv","24","32","22","and gavest them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;"
"asv","24","32","23","and they came in, and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them."
"asv","24","32","24","Behold, the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it."
"asv","24","32","25","And thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
"asv","24","32","26","Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","32","27","Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?"
"asv","24","32","28","Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:"
"asv","24","32","29","and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger."
"asv","24","32","30","For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","32","31","For this city hath been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,"
"asv","24","32","32","because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"asv","24","32","33","And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction."
"asv","24","32","34","But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it."
"asv","24","32","35","And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin."
"asv","24","32","36","And now therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:"
"asv","24","32","37","Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:"
"asv","24","32","38","and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:"
"asv","24","32","39","and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:"
"asv","24","32","40","and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me."
"asv","24","32","41","Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul."
"asv","24","32","42","For thus saith Jehovah: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them."
"asv","24","32","43","And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
"asv","24","32","44","Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","33","1","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,"
"asv","24","33","2","Thus saith Jehovah that doeth it, Jehovah that formeth it to establish it; Jehovah is his name:"
"asv","24","33","3","Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not."
"asv","24","33","4","For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defence against the mounds and against the sword;"
"asv","24","33","5","while  men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city:"
"asv","24","33","6","Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth."
"asv","24","33","7","And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first."
"asv","24","33","8","And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me."
"asv","24","33","9","And  this city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it."
"asv","24","33","10","Thus saith Jehovah: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast,"
"asv","24","33","11","the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to Jehovah of hosts, for Jehovah is good, for his lovingkindness  endureth  for ever;  and of them that bring  sacrifices of  thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","33","12","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down."
"asv","24","33","13","In the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him that numbereth them, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","33","14","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah."
"asv","24","33","15","In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land."
"asv","24","33","16","In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is  the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness."
"asv","24","33","17","For thus saith Jehovah: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;"
"asv","24","33","18","neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meal-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."
"asv","24","33","19","And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","33","20","Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;"
"asv","24","33","21","then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers."
"asv","24","33","22","As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me."
"asv","24","33","23","And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","33","24","Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them."
"asv","24","33","25","Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night  stand  not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;"
"asv","24","33","26","then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them."
"asv","24","34","1","The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:"
"asv","24","34","2","Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:"
"asv","24","34","3","and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon."
"asv","24","34","4","Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith Jehovah concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;"
"asv","24","34","5","thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee,  saying, Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","34","6","Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,"
"asv","24","34","7","when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these  alone remained of the cities of Judah  as  fortified cities."
"asv","24","34","8","The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;"
"asv","24","34","9","that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, that is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondmen of them,  to wit, of a Jew his brother."
"asv","24","34","10","And all the princes and all the people obeyed, that had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondmen of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:"
"asv","24","34","11","but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids."
"asv","24","34","12","Therefore the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","34","13","Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,"
"asv","24","34","14","At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear."
"asv","24","34","15","And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:"
"asv","24","34","16","but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids."
"asv","24","34","17","Therefore thus saith Jehovah: ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth."
"asv","24","34","18","And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, that have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;"
"asv","24","34","19","the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf;"
"asv","24","34","20","I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food unto the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth."
"asv","24","34","21","And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, that are gone away from you."
"asv","24","34","22","Behold, I will command, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","35","1","The word which came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,"
"asv","24","35","2","Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink."
"asv","24","35","3","Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;"
"asv","24","35","4","and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold."
"asv","24","35","5","And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink ye wine."
"asv","24","35","6","But they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, for ever:"
"asv","24","35","7","neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land wherein ye sojourn."
"asv","24","35","8","And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;"
"asv","24","35","9","nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:"
"asv","24","35","10","but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us."
"asv","24","35","11","But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem."
"asv","24","35","12","Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","35","13","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","35","14","The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and unto this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment: but I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; and ye have not hearkened unto me."
"asv","24","35","15","I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me."
"asv","24","35","16","Forasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people hath not hearkened unto me;"
"asv","24","35","17","therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered."
"asv","24","35","18","And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he commanded you;"
"asv","24","35","19","therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever."
"asv","24","36","1","And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,"
"asv","24","36","2","Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day."
"asv","24","36","3","It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."
"asv","24","36","4","Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book."
"asv","24","36","5","And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of Jehovah:"
"asv","24","36","6","therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in Jehovah’s house upon the fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities."
"asv","24","36","7","It may be they will present their supplication before Jehovah, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovah hath pronounced against this people."
"asv","24","36","8","And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Jehovah in Jehovah’s house."
"asv","24","36","9","Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah."
"asv","24","36","10","Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Jehovah’s house, in the ears of all the people."
"asv","24","36","11","And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of Jehovah,"
"asv","24","36","12","he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes were sitting there,  to wit, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes."
"asv","24","36","13","Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people."
"asv","24","36","14","Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them."
"asv","24","36","15","And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears."
"asv","24","36","16","Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words."
"asv","24","36","17","And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?"
"asv","24","36","18","Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book."
"asv","24","36","19","Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are."
"asv","24","36","20","And they went in to the king into the court; but they had laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king."
"asv","24","36","21","So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king."
"asv","24","36","22","Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month: and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him."
"asv","24","36","23","And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, that the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier."
"asv","24","36","24","And they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words."
"asv","24","36","25","Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll; but he would not hear them."
"asv","24","36","26","And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them."
"asv","24","36","27","Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","36","28","Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned."
"asv","24","36","29","And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?"
"asv","24","36","30","Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost."
"asv","24","36","31","And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not."
"asv","24","36","32","Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words."
"asv","24","37","1","And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah."
"asv","24","37","2","But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of Jehovah, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah."
"asv","24","37","3","And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto Jehovah our God for us."
"asv","24","37","4","Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison."
"asv","24","37","5","And Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans that were besieging Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they brake up from Jerusalem."
"asv","24","37","6","Then came the word of Jehovah unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","37","7","Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land."
"asv","24","37","8","And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire."
"asv","24","37","9","Thus saith Jehovah, Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart."
"asv","24","37","10","For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire."
"asv","24","37","11","And it came to pass that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,"
"asv","24","37","12","then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people."
"asv","24","37","13","And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou art falling away to the Chaldeans."
"asv","24","37","14","Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes."
"asv","24","37","15","And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison."
"asv","24","37","16","When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;"
"asv","24","37","17","Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Jehovah? And Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."
"asv","24","37","18","Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?"
"asv","24","37","19","Where now are your prophets that prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?"
"asv","24","37","20","And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee, that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there."
"asv","24","37","21","Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard."
"asv","24","38","1","And Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spake unto all the people, saying,"
"asv","24","38","2","Thus saith Jehovah, He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live."
"asv","24","38","3","Thus saith Jehovah, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it."
"asv","24","38","4","Then the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt."
"asv","24","38","5","And Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he that can do anything against you."
"asv","24","38","6","Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire."
"asv","24","38","7","Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin,)"
"asv","24","38","8","Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and spake to the king, saying,"
"asv","24","38","9","My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city."
"asv","24","38","10","Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die."
"asv","24","38","11","So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah."
"asv","24","38","12","And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so."
"asv","24","38","13","So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard."
"asv","24","38","14","Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me."
"asv","24","38","15","Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me."
"asv","24","38","16","So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life."
"asv","24","38","17","Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house."
"asv","24","38","18","But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand."
"asv","24","38","19","And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me."
"asv","24","38","20","But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live."
"asv","24","38","21","But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that Jehovah hath showed me:"
"asv","24","38","22","behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah’s house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, and those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: now that thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back."
"asv","24","38","23","And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire."
"asv","24","38","24","Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die."
"asv","24","38","25","But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:"
"asv","24","38","26","then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there."
"asv","24","38","27","Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived."
"asv","24","38","28","So Jeremiah abode in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken."
"asv","24","39","1","And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;"
"asv","24","39","2","in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city,)"
"asv","24","39","3","that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate,  to wit, Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon."
"asv","24","39","4","And it came to pass that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate betwixt the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah."
"asv","24","39","5","But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him."
"asv","24","39","6","Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah."
"asv","24","39","7","Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon."
"asv","24","39","8","And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem."
"asv","24","39","9","Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also that fell away to him, and the residue of the people that remained."
"asv","24","39","10","But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, that had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time."
"asv","24","39","11","Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,"
"asv","24","39","12","Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee."
"asv","24","39","13","So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;"
"asv","24","39","14","they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people."
"asv","24","39","15","Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,"
"asv","24","39","16","Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee in that day."
"asv","24","39","17","But I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid."
"asv","24","39","18","For I will surely save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee; because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","40","1","The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive unto Babylon."
"asv","24","40","2","And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Jehovah thy God pronounced this evil upon this place;"
"asv","24","40","3","and Jehovah hath brought it, and done according as he spake: because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you."
"asv","24","40","4","And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which are upon thy hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well unto thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and right unto thee to go, thither go."
"asv","24","40","5","Now while he was not yet gone back, Go back then,  said he, to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wheresoever it seemeth right unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a present, and let him go."
"asv","24","40","6","Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land."
"asv","24","40","7","Now when all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;"
"asv","24","40","8","then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,  to wit, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men."
"asv","24","40","9","And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you."
"asv","24","40","10","As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans that shall come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken."
"asv","24","40","11","Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;"
"asv","24","40","12","then all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much."
"asv","24","40","13","Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,"
"asv","24","40","14","and said unto him, Dost thou know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not."
"asv","24","40","15","Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he take thy life, that all the Jews that are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?"
"asv","24","40","16","But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael."
"asv","24","41","1","Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and  one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah."
"asv","24","41","2","Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land."
"asv","24","41","3","Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him,  to wit, with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, the men of war."
"asv","24","41","4","And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,"
"asv","24","41","5","that there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the house of Jehovah."
"asv","24","41","6","And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam."
"asv","24","41","7","And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them,  and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him."
"asv","24","41","8","But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren."
"asv","24","41","9","Now the pit wherein Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, by the side of Gedaliah (the same was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel,) Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain."
"asv","24","41","10","Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children of Ammon."
"asv","24","41","11","But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,"
"asv","24","41","12","then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon."
"asv","24","41","13","Now it came to pass that, when all the people that were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad."
"asv","24","41","14","So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah."
"asv","24","41","15","But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon."
"asv","24","41","16","Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,  to wit, the men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon:"
"asv","24","41","17","and they departed, and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to go to enter into Egypt,"
"asv","24","41","18","because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land."
"asv","24","42","1","Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,"
"asv","24","42","2","and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we pray thee, our supplication be presented before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:"
"asv","24","42","3","that Jehovah thy God may show us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do."
"asv","24","42","4","Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you."
"asv","24","42","5","Then they said to Jeremiah, Jehovah be a true and faithful witness amongst us, if we do not according to all the word wherewith Jehovah thy God shall send thee to us."
"asv","24","42","6","Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Jehovah our God."
"asv","24","42","7","And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah."
"asv","24","42","8","Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,"
"asv","24","42","9","and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:"
"asv","24","42","10","If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you."
"asv","24","42","11","Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand."
"asv","24","42","12","And I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land."
"asv","24","42","13","But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land; so that ye obey not the voice of Jehovah your God,"
"asv","24","42","14","saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:"
"asv","24","42","15","now therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;"
"asv","24","42","16","then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die."
"asv","24","42","17","So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them."
"asv","24","42","18","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As mine anger and my wrath hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more."
"asv","24","42","19","Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have testified unto you this day."
"asv","24","42","20","For ye have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God; and according unto all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it:"
"asv","24","42","21","and I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God in anything for which he hath sent me unto you."
"asv","24","42","22","Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there."
"asv","24","43","1","And it came to pass that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, wherewith Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,"
"asv","24","43","2","then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn there;"
"asv","24","43","3","but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon."
"asv","24","43","4","So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, to dwell in the land of Judah."
"asv","24","43","5","But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah;"
"asv","24","43","6","the men, and the women, and the children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;"
"asv","24","43","7","and they came into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah: and they came unto Tahpanhes."
"asv","24","43","8","Then came the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,"
"asv","24","43","9","Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in mortar in the brickwork, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;"
"asv","24","43","10","and say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them."
"asv","24","43","11","And he shall come, and shall smite the land of Egypt; such as are for death  shall be given to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword."
"asv","24","43","12","And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace."
"asv","24","43","13","He shall also break the pillars of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire."
"asv","24","44","1","The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, that dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,"
"asv","24","44","2","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,"
"asv","24","44","3","because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense,  and to serve other gods, that they knew not, neither they, nor ye, nor your fathers."
"asv","24","44","4","Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate."
"asv","24","44","5","But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods."
"asv","24","44","6","Wherefore my wrath and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day."
"asv","24","44","7","Therefore now thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye  this great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining;"
"asv","24","44","8","in that ye provoke me unto anger with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are gone to sojourn; that ye may be cut off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?"
"asv","24","44","9","Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?"
"asv","24","44","10","They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers."
"asv","24","44","11","Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah."
"asv","24","44","12","And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an execration,  and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach."
"asv","24","44","13","For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;"
"asv","24","44","14","so that none of the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape."
"asv","24","44","15","Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great assembly, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,"
"asv","24","44","16","As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken unto thee."
"asv","24","44","17","But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil."
"asv","24","44","18","But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink-offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine."
"asv","24","44","19","And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink-offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink-offerings unto her, without our husbands?"
"asv","24","44","20","Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people that had given him that answer, saying,"
"asv","24","44","21","The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Jehovah remember them, and came it not into his mind?"
"asv","24","44","22","so that Jehovah could not longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day."
"asv","24","44","23","Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as it is this day."
"asv","24","44","24","Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:"
"asv","24","44","25","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows."
"asv","24","44","26","Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Jehovah liveth."
"asv","24","44","27","Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them."
"asv","24","44","28","And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs."
"asv","24","44","29","And this shall be the sign unto you, saith Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:"
"asv","24","44","30","Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life."
"asv","24","45","1","The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,"
"asv","24","45","2","Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:"
"asv","24","45","3","Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest."
"asv","24","45","4","Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land."
"asv","24","45","5","And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest."
"asv","24","46","1","The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations."
"asv","24","46","2","Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah."
"asv","24","46","3","Prepare ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle."
"asv","24","46","4","Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail."
"asv","24","46","5","Wherefore have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: terror is on every side, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","46","6","Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen."
"asv","24","46","7","Who is this that riseth up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?"
"asv","24","46","8","Egypt riseth up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and the inhabitants thereof."
"asv","24","46","9","Go up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield; and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow."
"asv","24","46","10","For that day is  a day of the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates."
"asv","24","46","11","Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee."
"asv","24","46","12","The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry; for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together."
"asv","24","46","13","The word that Jehovah spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt."
"asv","24","46","14","Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand forth, and prepare thee; for the sword hath devoured round about thee."
"asv","24","46","15","Why are thy strong ones swept away? they stood not, because Jehovah did drive them."
"asv","24","46","16","He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword."
"asv","24","46","17","They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by."
"asv","24","46","18","As I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come."
"asv","24","46","19","O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","46","20","Egypt is a very fair heifer;  but destruction out of the north is come, it is come."
"asv","24","46","21","Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation."
"asv","24","46","22","The sound thereof shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood."
"asv","24","46","23","They shall cut down her forest, saith Jehovah, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable."
"asv","24","46","24","The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north."
"asv","24","46","25","Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and them that trust in him:"
"asv","24","46","26","and I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","46","27","But fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid."
"asv","24","46","28","Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee; but I will not make a full end of thee, but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished."
"asv","24","47","1","The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza."
"asv","24","47","2","Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and them that dwell therein; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail."
"asv","24","47","3","At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers look not back to their children for feebleness of hands;"
"asv","24","47","4","because of the day that cometh to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth: for Jehovah will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor."
"asv","24","47","5","Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nought, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?"
"asv","24","47","6","O thou sword of Jehovah, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard; rest, and be still."
"asv","24","47","7","How canst thou be quiet, seeing Jehovah hath given thee a charge? Against Ashkelon, and against the sea-shore, there hath he appointed it."
"asv","24","48","1","Of Moab. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down."
"asv","24","48","2","The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue thee."
"asv","24","48","3","The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!"
"asv","24","48","4","Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard."
"asv","24","48","5","For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction."
"asv","24","48","6","Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness."
"asv","24","48","7","For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together."
"asv","24","48","8","And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Jehovah hath spoken."
"asv","24","48","9","Give wings unto Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein."
"asv","24","48","10","Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood."
"asv","24","48","11","Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed."
"asv","24","48","12","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will send unto him them that pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces."
"asv","24","48","13","And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence."
"asv","24","48","14","How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
"asv","24","48","15","Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","24","48","16","The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast."
"asv","24","48","17","All ye that are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!"
"asv","24","48","18","O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strongholds."
"asv","24","48","19","O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What hath been done?"
"asv","24","48","20","Moab is put to shame; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
"asv","24","48","21","And judgment is come upon the plain country, upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,"
"asv","24","48","22","and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,"
"asv","24","48","23","and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,"
"asv","24","48","24","and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near."
"asv","24","48","25","The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","48","26","Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against Jehovah: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision."
"asv","24","48","27","For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head."
"asv","24","48","28","O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest over the mouth of the abyss."
"asv","24","48","29","We have heard of the pride of Moab,  that he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart."
"asv","24","48","30","I know his wrath, saith Jehovah, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing."
"asv","24","48","31","Therefore will I wail for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn."
"asv","24","48","32","With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the destroyer is fallen."
"asv","24","48","33","And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting."
"asv","24","48","34","From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate."
"asv","24","48","35","Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods."
"asv","24","48","36","Therefore my heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and my heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished."
"asv","24","48","37","For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth."
"asv","24","48","38","On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein none delighteth, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","48","39","How is it broken down!  how do they wail! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all that are round about him."
"asv","24","48","40","For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab."
"asv","24","48","41","Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
"asv","24","48","42","And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah."
"asv","24","48","43","Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","48","44","He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","48","45","They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones."
"asv","24","48","46","Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity."
"asv","24","48","47","Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
"asv","24","49","1","Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?"
"asv","24","49","2","Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess them that did possess him, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","49","3","Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth: lament, and run to and fro among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together."
"asv","24","49","4","Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures,  saying, Who shall come unto me?"
"asv","24","49","5","Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, from all that are round about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives."
"asv","24","49","6","But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","49","7","Of Edom. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?"
"asv","24","49","8","Flee ye, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I shall visit him."
"asv","24","49","9","If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had enough?"
"asv","24","49","10","But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brethren, and his neighbors; and he is not."
"asv","24","49","11","Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me."
"asv","24","49","12","For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they to whom it pertained not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink."
"asv","24","49","13","For I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes."
"asv","24","49","14","I have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations,  saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle."
"asv","24","49","15","For, behold, I have made thee small among the nations, and despised among men."
"asv","24","49","16","As for thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","49","17","And Edom shall become an astonishment: every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof."
"asv","24","49","18","As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith Jehovah, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein."
"asv","24","49","19","Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that will stand before me?"
"asv","24","49","20","Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away,  even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them."
"asv","24","49","21","The earth trembleth at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea."
"asv","24","49","22","Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
"asv","24","49","23","Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet."
"asv","24","49","24","Damascus is waxed feeble, she turneth herself to flee, and trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail."
"asv","24","49","25","How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?"
"asv","24","49","26","Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","24","49","27","And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad."
"asv","24","49","28","Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east."
"asv","24","49","29","Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Terror on every side!"
"asv","24","49","30","Flee ye, wander far off, dwell in the depths, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you."
"asv","24","49","31","Arise, get you up unto a nation that is at ease, that dwelleth without care, saith Jehovah; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone."
"asv","24","49","32","And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter unto all winds them that have the corners of their hair cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","49","33","And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein."
"asv","24","49","34","The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,"
"asv","24","49","35","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might."
"asv","24","49","36","And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come."
"asv","24","49","37","And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them;"
"asv","24","49","38","and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","49","39","But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","50","1","The word that Jehovah spake concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet."
"asv","24","50","2","Declare ye among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed."
"asv","24","50","3","For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast."
"asv","24","50","4","In those days, and in that time, saith Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Jehovah their God."
"asv","24","50","5","They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come ye, and join yourselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten."
"asv","24","50","6","My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting-place."
"asv","24","50","7","All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers."
"asv","24","50","8","Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks."
"asv","24","50","9","For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of an expert mighty man; none shall return in vain."
"asv","24","50","10","And Chaldea shall be a prey: all that prey upon her shall be satisfied, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","50","11","Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder my heritage, because ye are wanton as a heifer that treadeth out  the grain, and neigh as strong horses;"
"asv","24","50","12","your mother shall be utterly put to shame; she that bare you shall be confounded: behold, she shall be the hindermost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert."
"asv","24","50","13","Because of the wrath of Jehovah she shall not be inhabited, but she shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues."
"asv","24","50","14","Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Jehovah."
"asv","24","50","15","Shout against her round about: she hath submitted herself; her bulwarks are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of Jehovah: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her."
"asv","24","50","16","Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land."
"asv","24","50","17","Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first, the king of Assyria devoured him; and now at last Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones."
"asv","24","50","18","Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria."
"asv","24","50","19","And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead."
"asv","24","50","20","In those days, and in that time, saith Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant."
"asv","24","50","21","Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: slay and utterly destroy after them, saith Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded thee."
"asv","24","50","22","A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction."
"asv","24","50","23","How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!"
"asv","24","50","24","I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against Jehovah."
"asv","24","50","25","Jehovah hath opened his armory, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, hath a work  to do  in the land of the Chaldeans."
"asv","24","50","26","Come against her from the utmost border; open her store-houses; cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left."
"asv","24","50","27","Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation."
"asv","24","50","28","The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple."
"asv","24","50","29","Call together the archers against Babylon, all them that bend the bow; encamp against her round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her; for she hath been proud against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","24","50","30","Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","50","31","Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee."
"asv","24","50","32","And the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him."
"asv","24","50","33","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together; and all that took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to let them go."
"asv","24","50","34","Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon."
"asv","24","50","35","A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men."
"asv","24","50","36","A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed."
"asv","24","50","37","A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed."
"asv","24","50","38","A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad over idols."
"asv","24","50","39","Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wolves shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation."
"asv","24","50","40","As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith Jehovah, so shall no man dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein."
"asv","24","50","41","Behold, a people cometh from the north; and a great nation and many kings shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth."
"asv","24","50","42","They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon."
"asv","24","50","43","The king of Babylon hath heard the tidings of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him,  and pangs as of a woman in travail."
"asv","24","50","44","Behold,  the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that can stand before me?"
"asv","24","50","45","Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they shall drag them away,  even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them."
"asv","24","50","46","At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the nations."
"asv","24","51","1","Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind."
"asv","24","51","2","And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about."
"asv","24","51","3","Against  him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against  him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host."
"asv","24","51","4","And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets."
"asv","24","51","5","For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel."
"asv","24","51","6","Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense."
"asv","24","51","7","Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad."
"asv","24","51","8","Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed."
"asv","24","51","9","We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies."
"asv","24","51","10","Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God."
"asv","24","51","11","Make sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple."
"asv","24","51","12","Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both purposed and done that which he spake concerning the inhabitants of Babylon."
"asv","24","51","13","O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness."
"asv","24","51","14","Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself,  saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the canker-worm; and they shall lift up a shout against thee."
"asv","24","51","15","He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens:"
"asv","24","51","16","when he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries."
"asv","24","51","17","Every man is become brutish  and is without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them."
"asv","24","51","18","They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish."
"asv","24","51","19","The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and  Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name."
"asv","24","51","20","Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;"
"asv","24","51","21","and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider;"
"asv","24","51","22","and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and him that rideth therein; and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the virgin;"
"asv","24","51","23","and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke  of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and deputies."
"asv","24","51","24","And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","51","25","Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain."
"asv","24","51","26","And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","51","27","Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz: appoint a marshal against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough canker-worm."
"asv","24","51","28","Prepare against her the nations, the kings of the Medes, the governors thereof, and all the deputies thereof, and all the land of their dominion."
"asv","24","51","29","And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","51","30","The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they remain in their strongholds; their might hath failed; they are become as women: her dwelling-places are set on fire; her bars are broken."
"asv","24","51","31","One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:"
"asv","24","51","32","and the passages are seized, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted."
"asv","24","51","33","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her."
"asv","24","51","34","Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath, like a monster, swallowed me up, he hath filled his maw with my delicacies; he hath cast me out."
"asv","24","51","35","The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say."
"asv","24","51","36","Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry."
"asv","24","51","37","And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant."
"asv","24","51","38","They shall roar together like young lions; they shall growl as lions’ whelps."
"asv","24","51","39","When they are heated, I will make their feast, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","51","40","I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats."
"asv","24","51","41","How is Sheshach taken! and the praise of the whole earth seized! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!"
"asv","24","51","42","The sea is come up upon Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof."
"asv","24","51","43","Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby."
"asv","24","51","44","And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall."
"asv","24","51","45","My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Jehovah."
"asv","24","51","46","And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the tidings that shall be heard in the land; for tidings shall come one year, and after that in another year  shall come tidings, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler."
"asv","24","51","47","Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her."
"asv","24","51","48","Then the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for joy over Babylon; for the destroyers shall come unto her from the north, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","51","49","As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the land."
"asv","24","51","50","Ye that have escaped the sword, go ye, stand not still; remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind."
"asv","24","51","51","We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah’s house."
"asv","24","51","52","Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will execute judgment upon her graven images; and through all her land the wounded shall groan."
"asv","24","51","53","Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall destroyers come unto her, saith Jehovah."
"asv","24","51","54","The sound of a cry from Babylon, and of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!"
"asv","24","51","55","For Jehovah layeth Babylon waste, and destroyeth out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like many waters; the noise of their voice is uttered:"
"asv","24","51","56","for the destroyer is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah is a God of recompenses, he will surely requite."
"asv","24","51","57","And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","24","51","58","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the peoples shall labor for vanity, and the nations for the fire; and they shall be weary."
"asv","24","51","59","The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain."
"asv","24","51","60","And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written concerning Babylon."
"asv","24","51","61","And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou read all these words,"
"asv","24","51","62","and say, O Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever."
"asv","24","51","63","And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates:"
"asv","24","51","64","and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her; and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah."
"asv","24","52","1","Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah."
"asv","24","52","2","And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done."
"asv","24","52","3","For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon."
"asv","24","52","4","And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about."
"asv","24","52","5","So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah."
"asv","24","52","6","In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land."
"asv","24","52","7","Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about;) and they went toward the Arabah."
"asv","24","52","8","But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him."
"asv","24","52","9","Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him."
"asv","24","52","10","And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah."
"asv","24","52","11","And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death."
"asv","24","52","12","Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:"
"asv","24","52","13","and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire."
"asv","24","52","14","And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about."
"asv","24","52","15","Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude."
"asv","24","52","16","But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen."
"asv","24","52","17","And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon."
"asv","24","52","18","The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away."
"asv","24","52","19","And the cups, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls—that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver,— the captain of the guard took away."
"asv","24","52","20","The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah—the brass of all these vessels was without weight."
"asv","24","52","21","And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow."
"asv","24","52","22","And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates."
"asv","24","52","23","And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about."
"asv","24","52","24","And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:"
"asv","24","52","25","and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king’s face, that were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city."
"asv","24","52","26","And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah."
"asv","24","52","27","And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land."
"asv","24","52","28","This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty;"
"asv","24","52","29","in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons;"
"asv","24","52","30","in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred."
"asv","24","52","31","And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the  first  year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;"
"asv","24","52","32","and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,"
"asv","24","52","33","and changed his prison garments. And  Jehoiachin did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life:"
"asv","24","52","34","and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life."
"asv","25","1","1","How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people!She is become as a widow, that was great among the nations!She that was a princess among the provinces is become tributary!"
"asv","25","1","2","She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks;Among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her:All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; they are become her enemies."
"asv","25","1","3","Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude;She dwelleth among the nations, she findeth no rest:All her persecutors overtook her within the straits."
"asv","25","1","4","The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly;All her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh:Her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness."
"asv","25","1","5","Her adversaries are become the head, her enemies prosper;For Jehovah hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions:Her young children are gone into captivity before the adversary."
"asv","25","1","6","And from the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed:Her princes are become like harts that find no pasture,And they are gone without strength before the pursuer."
"asv","25","1","7","Jerusalem remembereth in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that were from the days of old:When her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and none did help her,The adversaries saw her, they did mock at her desolations."
"asv","25","1","8","Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is become as an unclean thing;All that honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness:Yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward."
"asv","25","1","9","Her filthiness was in her skirts; she remembered not her latter end;Therefore is she come down wonderfully; she hath no comforter:Behold, O Jehovah, my affliction; for the enemy hath magnified himself."
"asv","25","1","10","The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things:For she hath seen that the nations are entered into her sanctuary,Concerning whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thine assembly."
"asv","25","1","11","All her people sigh, they seek bread;They have given their pleasant things for food to refresh the soul:See, O Jehovah, and behold; for I am become abject."
"asv","25","1","12","Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is brought upon me,Wherewith Jehovah hath afflicted  me in the day of his fierce anger."
"asv","25","1","13","From on high hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them;He hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back:He hath made me desolate and faint all the day."
"asv","25","1","14","The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand;They are knit together, they are come up upon my neck; he hath made my strength to fail:The Lord hath delivered me into their hands, against whom I am not able to stand."
"asv","25","1","15","The Lord hath set at nought all my mighty men in the midst of me;He hath called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men:The Lord hath trodden as in a winepress the virgin daughter of Judah."
"asv","25","1","16","For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water;Because the comforter that should refresh my soul is far from me:My children are desolate, because the enemy hath prevailed."
"asv","25","1","17","Zion spreadeth forth her hands; there is none to comfort her;Jehovah hath commanded concerning Jacob, that they that are round about him should be his adversaries:Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing."
"asv","25","1","18","Jehovah is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment:Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and behold my sorrow:My virgins and my young men are gone into captivity."
"asv","25","1","19","I called for my lovers,  but they deceived me:My priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city,While they sought them food to refresh their souls."
"asv","25","1","20","Behold, O Jehovah; for I am in distress; my heart is troubled;My heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:Abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death."
"asv","25","1","21","They have heard that I sigh; there is none to comfort me;All mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it:Thou wilt bring the day that thou hast proclaimed, and they shall be like unto me."
"asv","25","1","22","Let all their wickedness come before thee;And do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions:For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint."

"asv","25","2","2","The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied:He hath thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah;He hath brought them down to the ground; he hath profaned the kingdom and the princes thereof."
"asv","25","2","3","He hath cut off in fierce anger all the horn of Israel;He hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy:And he hath burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about."
"asv","25","2","4","He hath bent his bow like an enemy, he hath stood with his right hand as an adversary,And hath slain all that were pleasant to the eye:In the tent of the daughter of Zion he hath poured out his wrath like fire."
"asv","25","2","5","The Lord is become as an enemy, he hath swallowed up Israel;He hath swallowed up all her palaces, he hath destroyed his strongholds;And he hath multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation."
"asv","25","2","6","And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he hath destroyed his place of assembly:Jehovah hath caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion,And hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest."
"asv","25","2","7","The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary;He hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces:They have made a noise in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a solemn assembly."
"asv","25","2","8","Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion;He hath stretched out the line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying;And he hath made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together."
"asv","25","2","9","Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars:Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not;Yea, her prophets find no vision from Jehovah."

"asv","25","2","13","What shall I testify unto thee? what shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem?What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion?For thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?"

"asv","25","4","8","Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets:Their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick."
"asv","25","4","9","They that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger;For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field."
"asv","25","4","10","The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children;They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people."
"asv","25","4","11","Jehovah hath accomplished his wrath, he hath poured out his fierce anger;And he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof."
"asv","25","4","12","The kings of the earth believed not, neither all the inhabitants of the world,That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem."
"asv","25","4","13"," It is because of the sins of her prophets,  and  the iniquities of her priests,That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her."
"asv","25","4","14","They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood,So that men cannot touch their garments."
"asv","25","4","15","Depart ye, they cried unto them, Unclean! depart, depart, touch not!When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn  here."
"asv","25","4","16","The anger of Jehovah hath scattered them; he will no more regard them:They respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders."
"asv","25","4","17","Our eyes do yet fail  in looking for our vain help:In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save."
"asv","25","4","18","They hunt our steps, so that we cannot go in our streets:Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come."
"asv","25","4","19","Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens:They chased us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness."
"asv","25","4","20","The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits;Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations."
"asv","25","4","21","Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz:The cup shall pass through unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked."
"asv","25","4","22","The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity:He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover thy sins."

"asv","26","1","1","Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth  month, in the fifth  day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."
"asv","26","1","2","In the fifth  day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,"
"asv","26","1","3","the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him."
"asv","26","1","4","And I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire."
"asv","26","1","5","And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man."
"asv","26","1","6","And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings."
"asv","26","1","7","And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass."
"asv","26","1","8","And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings  thus:"
"asv","26","1","9","their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward."
"asv","26","1","10","As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle."
"asv","26","1","11","And their faces and their wings were separate above; two  wings  of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies."
"asv","26","1","12","And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went."
"asv","26","1","13","As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches:  the fire  went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning."
"asv","26","1","14","And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning."
"asv","26","1","15","Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces thereof."
"asv","26","1","16","The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel."
"asv","26","1","17","When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they went."
"asv","26","1","18","As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their rims full of eyes round about."
"asv","26","1","19","And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up."
"asv","26","1","20","Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went; thither was the spirit to go: and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."
"asv","26","1","21","When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."
"asv","26","1","22","And over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of a firmament, like the terrible crystal to look upon, stretched forth over their heads above."
"asv","26","1","23","And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two which covered on this side, and every one had two which covered on that side, their bodies."
"asv","26","1","24","And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host: when they stood, they let down their wings."
"asv","26","1","25","And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings."
"asv","26","1","26","And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above."
"asv","26","1","27","And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him."
"asv","26","1","28","As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake."
"asv","26","2","1","And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee."
"asv","26","2","2","And the Spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spake unto me."
"asv","26","2","3","And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day."
"asv","26","2","4","And the children are impudent and stiffhearted: I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","2","5","And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them."
"asv","26","2","6","And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
"asv","26","2","7","And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious."
"asv","26","2","8","But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that which I give thee."
"asv","26","2","9","And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;"
"asv","26","2","10","And he spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe."
"asv","26","3","1","And he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel."
"asv","26","3","2","So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the roll."
"asv","26","3","3","And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness."
"asv","26","3","4","And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them."
"asv","26","3","5","For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel;"
"asv","26","3","6","not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee."
"asv","26","3","7","But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are of hard forehead and of a stiff heart."
"asv","26","3","8","Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads."
"asv","26","3","9","As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house."
"asv","26","3","10","Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears."
"asv","26","3","11","And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear."
"asv","26","3","12","Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing,  saying, Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place."
"asv","26","3","13","And  I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing."
"asv","26","3","14","So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me."
"asv","26","3","15","Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and to where they dwelt; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days."
"asv","26","3","16","And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","3","17","Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me."
"asv","26","3","18","When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand."
"asv","26","3","19","Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."
"asv","26","3","20","Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand."
"asv","26","3","21","Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul."
"asv","26","3","22","And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee."
"asv","26","3","23","Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face."
"asv","26","3","24","Then the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thy house."
"asv","26","3","25","But thou, son of man, behold, they shall lay bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:"
"asv","26","3","26","and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house."
"asv","26","3","27","But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house."
"asv","26","4","1","Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, even Jerusalem:"
"asv","26","4","2","and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it round about."
"asv","26","4","3","And take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel."
"asv","26","4","4","Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it;  according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity."
"asv","26","4","5","For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be unto thee a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel."
"asv","26","4","6","And again, when thou hast accomplished these, thou shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it unto thee."
"asv","26","4","7","And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it."
"asv","26","4","8","And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to the other, till thou hast accomplished the days of thy siege."
"asv","26","4","9","Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat thereof."
"asv","26","4","10","And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it."
"asv","26","4","11","And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink."
"asv","26","4","12","And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man."
"asv","26","4","13","And Jehovah said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither I will drive them."
"asv","26","4","14","Then said I, Ah Lord Jehovah! behold, my soul hath not been polluted; for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."
"asv","26","4","15","Then he said unto me, See, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereon."
"asv","26","4","16","Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:"
"asv","26","4","17","that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity."
"asv","26","5","1","And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp sword;  as a barber’s razor shalt thou take it unto thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair."
"asv","26","5","2","A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, and smite with the sword round about it; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them."
"asv","26","5","3","And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts."
"asv","26","5","4","And of these again shalt thou take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel."
"asv","26","5","5","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her."
"asv","26","5","6","And she hath rebelled against mine ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her; for they have rejected mine ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them."
"asv","26","5","7","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept mine ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;"
"asv","26","5","8","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations."
"asv","26","5","9","And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations."
"asv","26","5","10","Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on thee; and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter unto all the winds."
"asv","26","5","11","Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish  thee; neither shall mine eye spare, and I also will have no pity."
"asv","26","5","12","A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and a third part I will scatter unto all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them."
"asv","26","5","13","Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath upon them."
"asv","26","5","14","Moreover I will make thee a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by."
"asv","26","5","15","So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments on thee in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes; (I, Jehovah, have spoken it;)"
"asv","26","5","16","when I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread;"
"asv","26","5","17","and I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I, Jehovah, have spoken it."
"asv","26","6","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","6","2","Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto them,"
"asv","26","6","3","and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places."
"asv","26","6","4","And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols."
"asv","26","6","5","And I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars."
"asv","26","6","6","In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished."
"asv","26","6","7","And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","6","8","Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries."
"asv","26","6","9","And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the harlot after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations."
"asv","26","6","10","And they shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them."
"asv","26","6","11","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence."
"asv","26","6","12","He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath upon them."
"asv","26","6","13","And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols."
"asv","26","6","14","And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","7","1","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","7","2","And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land."
"asv","26","7","3","Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations."
"asv","26","7","4","And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","7","5","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh."
"asv","26","7","6","An end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh."
"asv","26","7","7","Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near,  a day of tumult, and not  of joyful shouting, upon the mountains."
"asv","26","7","8","Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations."
"asv","26","7","9","And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite."
"asv","26","7","10","Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded."
"asv","26","7","11","Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them  shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them."
"asv","26","7","12","The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof."
"asv","26","7","13","For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life."
"asv","26","7","14","They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle; for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof."
"asv","26","7","15","The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword: and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him."
"asv","26","7","16","But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity."
"asv","26","7","17","All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water."
"asv","26","7","18","They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads."
"asv","26","7","19","They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels; because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity."
"asv","26","7","20","As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations  and their detestable things therein: therefore have I made it unto them as an unclean thing."
"asv","26","7","21","And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall profane it."
"asv","26","7","22","My face will I turn also from them, and they shall profane my secret place; and robbers shall enter into it, and profane it."
"asv","26","7","23","Make the chain; for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence."
"asv","26","7","24","Wherefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pride of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be profaned."
"asv","26","7","25","Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none."
"asv","26","7","26","Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon rumor; and they shall seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders."
"asv","26","7","27","The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","8","1","And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth  month, in the fifth  day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there upon me."
"asv","26","8","2","Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal."
"asv","26","8","3","And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner  court  that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy."
"asv","26","8","4","And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain."
"asv","26","8","5","Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry."
"asv","26","8","6","And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet other great abominations."
"asv","26","8","7","And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall."
"asv","26","8","8","Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold, a door."
"asv","26","8","9","And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here."
"asv","26","8","10","So I went in and saw; and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about."
"asv","26","8","11","And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up."
"asv","26","8","12","Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land."
"asv","26","8","13","He said also unto me, Thou shalt again see yet other great abominations which they do."
"asv","26","8","14","Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Jehovah’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz."
"asv","26","8","15","Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen  this, O son of man? thou shalt again see yet greater abominations than these."
"asv","26","8","16","And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah’s house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east."
"asv","26","8","17","Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen  this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose."
"asv","26","8","18","Therefore will I also deal in wrath; mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
"asv","26","9","1","Then he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause ye them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand."
"asv","26","9","2","And behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lieth toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. And they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar."
"asv","26","9","3","And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side."
"asv","26","9","4","And Jehovah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof."
"asv","26","9","5","And to the others he said in my hearing, Go ye through the city after him, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity;"
"asv","26","9","6","slay utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but come not near any man upon whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house."
"asv","26","9","7","And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and smote in the city."
"asv","26","9","8","And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy wrath upon Jerusalem?"
"asv","26","9","9","Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wrestling of judgment: for they say, Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah seeth not."
"asv","26","9","10","And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way upon their head."
"asv","26","9","11","And behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me."
"asv","26","10","1","Then I looked, and behold, in the firmament that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne."
"asv","26","10","2","And he spake unto the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling  wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight."
"asv","26","10","3","Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court."
"asv","26","10","4","And the glory of Jehovah mounted up from the cherub,  and stood  over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Jehovah’s glory."
"asv","26","10","5","And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaketh."
"asv","26","10","6","And it came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel."
"asv","26","10","7","And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took  thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out."
"asv","26","10","8","And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under their wings."
"asv","26","10","9","And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like unto a beryl stone."
"asv","26","10","10","And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within a wheel."
"asv","26","10","11","When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went."
"asv","26","10","12","And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about,  even the wheels that they four had."
"asv","26","10","13","As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels."
"asv","26","10","14","And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle."
"asv","26","10","15","And the cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar."
"asv","26","10","16","And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also turned not from beside them."
"asv","26","10","17","When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them."
"asv","26","10","18","And the glory of Jehovah went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim."
"asv","26","10","19","And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Jehovah’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."
"asv","26","10","20","This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim."
"asv","26","10","21","Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings."
"asv","26","10","22","And as for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward."
"asv","26","11","1","Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of Jehovah’s house, which looketh eastward: and behold, at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people."
"asv","26","11","2","And he said unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;"
"asv","26","11","3","that say,  The time is not near to build houses: this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh."
"asv","26","11","4","Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."
"asv","26","11","5","And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and he said unto me, Speak, Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind."
"asv","26","11","6","Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain."
"asv","26","11","7","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this  city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it."
"asv","26","11","8","Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","11","9","And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you."
"asv","26","11","10","Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","11","11","This  city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you in the border of Israel;"
"asv","26","11","12","and ye shall know that I am Jehovah: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither have ye executed mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you."
"asv","26","11","13","And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?"
"asv","26","11","14","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","11","15","Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them,  are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from Jehovah; unto us is this land given for a possession."
"asv","26","11","16","Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they are come."
"asv","26","11","17","Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."
"asv","26","11","18","And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence."
"asv","26","11","19","And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;"
"asv","26","11","20","that they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God."
"asv","26","11","21","But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","11","22","Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."
"asv","26","11","23","And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city."
"asv","26","11","24","And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me."
"asv","26","11","25","Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that Jehovah had showed me."
"asv","26","12","1","The word of Jehovah also came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","12","2","Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious house."
"asv","26","12","3","Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house."
"asv","26","12","4","And thou shalt bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing; and thou shalt go forth thyself at even in their sight, as when men go forth into exile."
"asv","26","12","5","Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby."
"asv","26","12","6","In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulder, and carry it forth in the dark; thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the land: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel."
"asv","26","12","7","And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for removing, and in the even I digged through the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in the dark, and bare it upon my shoulder in their sight."
"asv","26","12","8","And in the morning came the word of Jehovah unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","12","9","Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?"
"asv","26","12","10","Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This burden  concerneth  the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are."
"asv","26","12","11","Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them; they shall go into exile, into captivity."
"asv","26","12","12","And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes."
"asv","26","12","13","My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there."
"asv","26","12","14","And I will scatter toward every wind all that are round about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them."
"asv","26","12","15","And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries."
"asv","26","12","16","But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations whither they come; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","12","17","Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,"
"asv","26","12","18","Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with fearfulness;"
"asv","26","12","19","and say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with fearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate,  and despoiled of all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein."
"asv","26","12","20","And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be a desolation; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","12","21","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","12","22","Son of man, what is this proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?"
"asv","26","12","23","Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision."
"asv","26","12","24","For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel."
"asv","26","12","25","For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","12","26","Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,"
"asv","26","12","27","Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off."
"asv","26","12","28","Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: There shall none of my words be deferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","13","2","Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah:"
"asv","26","13","3","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!"
"asv","26","13","4","O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places."
"asv","26","13","5","Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","6","They have seen falsehood and lying divination, that say, Jehovah saith; but Jehovah hath not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed."
"asv","26","13","7","Have ye not seen a false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, in that ye say, Jehovah saith; albeit I have not spoken?"
"asv","26","13","8","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have spoken falsehood, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","9","And my hand shall be against the prophets that see false visions, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","10","Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered  mortar:"
"asv","26","13","11","say unto them that daub it with untempered  mortar, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it."
"asv","26","13","12","Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?"
"asv","26","13","13","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it."
"asv","26","13","14","So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","15","Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered  mortar; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;"
"asv","26","13","16"," to wit, the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","17","And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,"
"asv","26","13","18","and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the women that sew pillows upon all elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of  persons of  every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive for yourselves?"
"asv","26","13","19","And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hearken unto lies."
"asv","26","13","20","Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make  them fly, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make  them fly."
"asv","26","13","21","Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","13","22","Because with lies ye have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:"
"asv","26","13","23","Therefore ye shall no more see false visions, nor divine divinations: and I will deliver my people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","14","1","Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me."
"asv","26","14","2","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","14","3","Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?"
"asv","26","14","4","Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel that taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I Jehovah will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;"
"asv","26","14","5","that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols."
"asv","26","14","6","Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations."
"asv","26","14","7","For every one of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that separateth himself from me, and taketh his idols into his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I Jehovah will answer him by myself:"
"asv","26","14","8","and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","14","9","And if the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel."
"asv","26","14","10","And they shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him that seeketh  unto him;"
"asv","26","14","11","that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","14","12","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","14","13","Son of man, when a land sinneth against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast;"
"asv","26","14","14","though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","14","15","If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts;"
"asv","26","14","16","though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, but the land should be desolate."
"asv","26","14","17","Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off from it man and beast;"
"asv","26","14","18","though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only should be delivered themselves."
"asv","26","14","19","Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast;"
"asv","26","14","20","though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver their own souls by their righteousness."
"asv","26","14","21","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!"
"asv","26","14","22","Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings; and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it."
"asv","26","14","23","And they shall comfort you, when ye see their way and their doings; and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","15","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","15","2","Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine-branch which is among the trees of the forest?"
"asv","26","15","3","Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?"
"asv","26","15","4","Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?"
"asv","26","15","5","Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned, shall it yet be meet for any work!"
"asv","26","15","6","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
"asv","26","15","7","And I will set my face against them; they shall go forth from the fire, but the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I set my face against them."
"asv","26","15","8","And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","16","1","Again the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","16","2","Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;"
"asv","26","16","3","and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite."
"asv","26","16","4","And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all."
"asv","26","16","5","No eye pitied thee, to do any of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, for that thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou wast born."
"asv","26","16","6","And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee,  Though thou art in thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee,  Though thou art in thy blood, live."
"asv","26","16","7","I caused thee to multiply as that which groweth in the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare."
"asv","26","16","8","Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine."
"asv","26","16","9","Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil."
"asv","26","16","10","I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and covered thee with silk."
"asv","26","16","11","And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck."
"asv","26","16","12","And I put a ring upon thy nose, and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head."
"asv","26","16","13","Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper unto royal estate."
"asv","26","16","14","And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","16","15","But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passed by; his it was."
"asv","26","16","16","And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest for thee high places decked with divers colors, and playedst the harlot upon them:  the like things shall not come, neither shall it be  so."
"asv","26","16","17","Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;"
"asv","26","16","18","and thou tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them, and didst set mine oil and mine incense before them."
"asv","26","16","19","My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savor; and  thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","16","20","Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter,"
"asv","26","16","21","that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through  the fire unto them?"
"asv","26","16","22","And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood."
"asv","26","16","23","And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah,)"
"asv","26","16","24","that thou hast built unto thee a vaulted place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street."
"asv","26","16","25","Thou hast built thy lofty place at the head of every way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom."
"asv","26","16","26","Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy whoredom, to provoke me to anger."
"asv","26","16","27","Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary  food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way."
"asv","26","16","28","Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied."
"asv","26","16","29","Thou hast moreover multiplied thy whoredom unto the land of traffic, unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith."
"asv","26","16","30","How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an impudent harlot;"
"asv","26","16","31","in that thou buildest thy vaulted place at the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street, and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire."
"asv","26","16","32","A wife that committeth adultery! that taketh strangers instead of her husband!"
"asv","26","16","33","They give gifts to all harlots; but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms."
"asv","26","16","34","And thou art different from  other women in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to play the harlot; and whereas thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, therefore thou art different."
"asv","26","16","35","Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah:"
"asv","26","16","36","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, that thou didst give unto them;"
"asv","26","16","37","therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee on every side, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness."
"asv","26","16","38","And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of wrath and jealousy."
"asv","26","16","39","I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thy vaulted place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels; and they shall leave thee naked and bare."
"asv","26","16","40","They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords."
"asv","26","16","41","And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more."
"asv","26","16","42","So will I cause my wrath toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry."
"asv","26","16","43","Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord Jehovah: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness with all thine abominations."
"asv","26","16","44","Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use  this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter."
"asv","26","16","45","Thou art the daughter of thy mother, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite."
"asv","26","16","46","And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters."
"asv","26","16","47","Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as  if that were a very little  thing, thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways."
"asv","26","16","48","As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters."
"asv","26","16","49","Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
"asv","26","16","50","And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw  good."
"asv","26","16","51","Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done."
"asv","26","16","52","Thou also, bear thou thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters."
"asv","26","16","53","And I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them;"
"asv","26","16","54","that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them."
"asv","26","16","55","And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate."
"asv","26","16","56","For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,"
"asv","26","16","57","before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, that do despite unto thee round about."
"asv","26","16","58","Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith Jehovah."
"asv","26","16","59","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant."
"asv","26","16","60","Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant."
"asv","26","16","61","Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder  sisters and thy younger; and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant."
"asv","26","16","62","And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah;"
"asv","26","16","63","that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","17","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","17","2","Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;"
"asv","26","17","3","and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:"
"asv","26","17","4","he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants."
"asv","26","17","5","He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow-tree."
"asv","26","17","6","And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs."
"asv","26","17","7","There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it."
"asv","26","17","8","It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."
"asv","26","17","9","Say thou, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it may wither; that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or much people can it be raised from the roots thereof."
"asv","26","17","10","Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the beds where it grew."
"asv","26","17","11","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","17","12","Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Babylon:"
"asv","26","17","13","and he took of the seed royal, and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land;"
"asv","26","17","14","that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand."
"asv","26","17","15","But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?"
"asv","26","17","16","As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die."
"asv","26","17","17","Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons."
"asv","26","17","18","For he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet hath done all these things; he shall not escape."
"asv","26","17","19","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own head."
"asv","26","17","20","And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me."
"asv","26","17","21","And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it."
"asv","26","17","22","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain:"
"asv","26","17","23","in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of the branches thereof shall they dwell."
"asv","26","17","24","And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it."
"asv","26","18","1","The word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,"
"asv","26","18","2","What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?"
"asv","26","18","3","As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have  occasion  any more to use this proverb in Israel."
"asv","26","18","4","Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die."
"asv","26","18","5","But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,"
"asv","26","18","6","and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbor’s wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her impurity,"
"asv","26","18","7","and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath taken nought by robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;"
"asv","26","18","8","he that hath not given forth upon interest, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true justice between man and man,"
"asv","26","18","9","hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept mine ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","18","10","If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth any one of these things,"
"asv","26","18","11","and that doeth not any of those  duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,"
"asv","26","18","12","hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,"
"asv","26","18","13","hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him."
"asv","26","18","14","Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doeth not such like;"
"asv","26","18","15","that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbor’s wife,"
"asv","26","18","16","neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;"
"asv","26","18","17","that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed mine ordinances, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live."
"asv","26","18","18","As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity."
"asv","26","18","19","Yet say ye, Wherefore doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? when the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live."
"asv","26","18","20","The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
"asv","26","18","21","But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"asv","26","18","22","None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live."
"asv","26","18","23","Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?"
"asv","26","18","24","But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die."
"asv","26","18","25","Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?"
"asv","26","18","26","When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die."
"asv","26","18","27","Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive."
"asv","26","18","28","Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"asv","26","18","29","Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?"
"asv","26","18","30","Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin."
"asv","26","18","31","Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
"asv","26","18","32","For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live."
"asv","26","19","1","Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,"
"asv","26","19","2","and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps."
"asv","26","19","3","And she brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men."
"asv","26","19","4","The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks unto the land of Egypt."
"asv","26","19","5","Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion."
"asv","26","19","6","And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men."
"asv","26","19","7","And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring."
"asv","26","19","8","Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit."
"asv","26","19","9","And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel."
"asv","26","19","10","Thy mother was like a vine, in thy blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters."
"asv","26","19","11","And it had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches."
"asv","26","19","12","But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them."
"asv","26","19","13","And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land."
"asv","26","19","14","And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation."
"asv","26","20","1","And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth  month, the tenth  day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me."
"asv","26","20","2","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","20","3","Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Is it to inquire of me that ye are come? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you."
"asv","26","20","4","Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;"
"asv","26","20","5","and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when I chose Israel, and sware unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I sware unto them, saying, I am Jehovah your God;"
"asv","26","20","6","in that day I sware unto them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands."
"asv","26","20","7","And I said unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","26","20","8","But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me; they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt."
"asv","26","20","9","But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","26","20","10","So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness."
"asv","26","20","11","And I gave them my statutes, and showed them mine ordinances, which if a man do, he shall live in them."
"asv","26","20","12","Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth them."
"asv","26","20","13","But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they rejected mine ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to consume them."
"asv","26","20","14","But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out."
"asv","26","20","15","Moreover also I sware unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;"
"asv","26","20","16","because they rejected mine ordinances, and walked not in my statutes, and profaned my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols."
"asv","26","20","17","Nevertheless mine eye spared them, and I destroyed them not, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness."
"asv","26","20","18","And I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols."
"asv","26","20","19","I am Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them;"
"asv","26","20","20","and hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God."
"asv","26","20","21","But the children rebelled against me; they walked not in my statutes, neither kept mine ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness."
"asv","26","20","22","Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth."
"asv","26","20","23","Moreover I sware unto them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse them through the countries;"
"asv","26","20","24","because they had not executed mine ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols."
"asv","26","20","25","Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances wherein they should not live;"
"asv","26","20","26","and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through  the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","20","27","Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me."
"asv","26","20","28","For when I had brought them into the land, which I sware to give unto them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink-offerings."
"asv","26","20","29","Then I said unto them, What meaneth the high place whereunto ye go? So the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day."
"asv","26","20","30","Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Do ye pollute yourselves after the manner of your fathers? and play ye the harlot after their abominations?"
"asv","26","20","31","and when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, do ye pollute yourselves with all your idols unto this day? and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you;"
"asv","26","20","32","and that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, in that ye say, We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone."
"asv","26","20","33","As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:"
"asv","26","20","34","and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;"
"asv","26","20","35","and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face."
"asv","26","20","36","Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","20","37","And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;"
"asv","26","20","38","and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","20","39","As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Go ye, serve every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me; but my holy name shall ye no more profane with your gifts, and with your idols."
"asv","26","20","40","For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first-fruits of your oblations, with all your holy things."
"asv","26","20","41","As a sweet savor will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations."
"asv","26","20","42","And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I sware to give unto your fathers."
"asv","26","20","43","And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have polluted yourselves; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed."
"asv","26","20","44","And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have dealt with you for my name’s sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","20","45","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","20","46","Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop  thy word  toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;"
"asv","26","20","47","and say to the forest of the South, Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby."
"asv","26","20","48","And all flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched."
"asv","26","20","49","Then said I, Ah Lord Jehovah! they say of me, Is he not a speaker of parables?"
"asv","26","21","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","21","2","Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop  thy word  toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;"
"asv","26","21","3","and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked."
"asv","26","21","4","Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:"
"asv","26","21","5","and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more."
"asv","26","21","6","Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes."
"asv","26","21","7","And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","21","8","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","21","9","Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;"
"asv","26","21","10","it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree."
"asv","26","21","11","And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer."
"asv","26","21","12","Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh."
"asv","26","21","13","For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","21","14","Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers."
"asv","26","21","15","I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter."
"asv","26","21","16","Gather thee together, go to the right, set thyself in array, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is set."
"asv","26","21","17","I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Jehovah, have spoken it."
"asv","26","21","18","The word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,"
"asv","26","21","19","Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city."
"asv","26","21","20","Thou shalt appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified."
"asv","26","21","21","For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver."
"asv","26","21","22","In his right hand was the divination  for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts."
"asv","26","21","23","And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths unto them; but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken."
"asv","26","21","24","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand."
"asv","26","21","25","And thou, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,"
"asv","26","21","26","thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this  shall be no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high."
"asv","26","21","27","I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it  him."
"asv","26","21","28","And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;"
"asv","26","21","29","while they see for thee false visions, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end."
"asv","26","21","30","Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee."
"asv","26","21","31","And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy."
"asv","26","21","32","Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I, Jehovah, have spoken it."
"asv","26","22","1","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","22","2","And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations."
"asv","26","22","3","And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that maketh idols against herself to defile her!"
"asv","26","22","4","Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries."
"asv","26","22","5","Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one  and full of tumult."
"asv","26","22","6","Behold, the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood."
"asv","26","22","7","In thee have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the sojourner; in thee have they wronged the fatherless and the widow."
"asv","26","22","8","Thou hast despised my holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths."
"asv","26","22","9","Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood; and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they have committed lewdness."
"asv","26","22","10","In thee have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in thee have they humbled her that was unclean in her impurity."
"asv","26","22","11","And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter."
"asv","26","22","12","In thee have they taken bribes to shed blood; thou hast taken interest and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbors by oppression, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","22","13","Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee."
"asv","26","22","14","Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it."
"asv","26","22","15","And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries; and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee."
"asv","26","22","16","And thou shalt be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","22","17","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","22","18","Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross unto me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver."
"asv","26","22","19","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem."
"asv","26","22","20","As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you."
"asv","26","22","21","Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof."
"asv","26","22","22","As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my wrath upon you."
"asv","26","22","23","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","22","24","Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation."
"asv","26","22","25","There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst thereof."
"asv","26","22","26","Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them."
"asv","26","22","27","Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood,  and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain."
"asv","26","22","28","And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered  mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, when Jehovah hath not spoken."
"asv","26","22","29","The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yea, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully."
"asv","26","22","30","And I sought for a man among them, that should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none."
"asv","26","22","31","Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","23","1","The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","23","2","Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:"
"asv","26","23","3","and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity."
"asv","26","23","4","And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah."
"asv","26","23","5","And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians  her neighbors,"
"asv","26","23","6","who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses."
"asv","26","23","7","And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself."
"asv","26","23","8","Neither hath she left her whoredoms since  the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her."
"asv","26","23","9","Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted."
"asv","26","23","10","These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her."
"asv","26","23","11","And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister."
"asv","26","23","12","She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers,  her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men."
"asv","26","23","13","And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way."
"asv","26","23","14","And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,"
"asv","26","23","15","girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity."
"asv","26","23","16","And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea."
"asv","26","23","17","And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them."
"asv","26","23","18","So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister."
"asv","26","23","19","Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt."
"asv","26","23","20","And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses."
"asv","26","23","21","Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth."
"asv","26","23","22","Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:"
"asv","26","23","23","the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses."
"asv","26","23","24","And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about; and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments."
"asv","26","23","25","And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire."
"asv","26","23","26","They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels."
"asv","26","23","27","Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more."
"asv","26","23","28","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is alienated;"
"asv","26","23","29","and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms."
"asv","26","23","30","These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols."
"asv","26","23","31","Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand."
"asv","26","23","32","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large; thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much."
"asv","26","23","33","Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria."
"asv","26","23","34","Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","23","35","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms."
"asv","26","23","36","Jehovah said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations."
"asv","26","23","37","For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through  the fire unto them to be devoured."
"asv","26","23","38","Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths."
"asv","26","23","39","For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house."
"asv","26","23","40","And furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paint thine eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments,"
"asv","26","23","41","and sit upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil."
"asv","26","23","42","And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them  twain, and beautiful crowns upon their heads."
"asv","26","23","43","Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they play the harlot with her, and she  with them."
"asv","26","23","44","And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women."
"asv","26","23","45","And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands."
"asv","26","23","46","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed."
"asv","26","23","47","And the company shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire."
"asv","26","23","48","Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness."
"asv","26","23","49","And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","24","1","Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth  day  of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","24","2","Son of man, write thee the name of the day,  even of this selfsame day: the king of Babylon drew close unto Jerusalem this selfsame day."
"asv","26","24","3","And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:"
"asv","26","24","4","gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones."
"asv","26","24","5","Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile  of wood for the bones under  the caldron; make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be boiled in the midst of it."
"asv","26","24","6","Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen upon it."
"asv","26","24","7","For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust."
"asv","26","24","8","That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered."
"asv","26","24","9","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great."
"asv","26","24","10","Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned."
"asv","26","24","11","Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that it may be hot, and the brass thereof may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the rust of it may be consumed."
"asv","26","24","12","She hath wearied  herself with toil; yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her; her rust  goeth not forth by fire."
"asv","26","24","13","In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed thee and thou wast not cleansed, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest."
"asv","26","24","14","I, Jehovah, have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","24","15","Also the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","24","16","Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down."
"asv","26","24","17","Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy headtire upon thee, and put thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men."
"asv","26","24","18","So I spake unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded."
"asv","26","24","19","And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?"
"asv","26","24","20","Then I said unto them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","24","21","Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword."
"asv","26","24","22","And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men."
"asv","26","24","23","And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another."
"asv","26","24","24","Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","24","25","And thou, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,"
"asv","26","24","26","that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?"
"asv","26","24","27","In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: so shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","25","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","25","2","Son of man, set thy face toward the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them:"
"asv","26","25","3","and say unto the children of Ammon, Hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity:"
"asv","26","25","4","therefore, behold, I will deliver thee to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set their encampments in thee, and make their dwellings in thee; they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk."
"asv","26","25","5","And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","25","6","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast clapped thy hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced with all the despite of thy soul against the land of Israel;"
"asv","26","25","7","therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the peoples, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","25","8","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the nations;"
"asv","26","25","9","therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim,"
"asv","26","25","10","unto the children of the east,  to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations."
"asv","26","25","11","and I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","25","12","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;"
"asv","26","25","13","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, I will stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; even unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword."
"asv","26","25","14","And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my wrath; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","25","15","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with despite of soul to destroy with perpetual enmity;"
"asv","26","25","16","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast."
"asv","26","25","17","And I will execute great vengeance upon them with wrathful rebukes; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them."
"asv","26","26","1","And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first  day  of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","26","2","Son of man, because that Tyre hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken  that was the gate of the peoples; she is turned unto me; I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste:"
"asv","26","26","3","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come up."
"asv","26","26","4","And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock."
"asv","26","26","5","She shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah; and she shall become a spoil to the nations."
"asv","26","26","6","And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","26","7","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring upon Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and a company, and much people."
"asv","26","26","8","He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field; and he shall make forts against thee, and cast up a mound against thee, and raise up the buckler against thee."
"asv","26","26","9","And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers."
"asv","26","26","10","By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach."
"asv","26","26","11","With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people with the sword; and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground."
"asv","26","26","12","And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses; and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the waters."
"asv","26","26","13","And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard."
"asv","26","26","14","And I will make thee a bare rock; thou shalt be a place for the spreading of nets; thou shalt be built no more: for I Jehovah have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","26","15","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?"
"asv","26","26","16","Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at thee."
"asv","26","26","17","And they shall take up a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, that caused their terror to be on all that dwelt there!"
"asv","26","26","18","Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure."
"asv","26","26","19","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and the great waters shall cover thee;"
"asv","26","26","20","then will I bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make thee to dwell in the nether parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living:"
"asv","26","26","21","I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt no more have any being; though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","27","1","The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","27","2","And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;"
"asv","26","27","3","and say unto Tyre, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the sea, that art the merchant of the peoples unto many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, O Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty."
"asv","26","27","4","Thy borders are in the heart of the seas; thy builders have perfected thy beauty."
"asv","26","27","5","They have made all thy planks of fir-trees from Senir; they have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for thee."
"asv","26","27","6","Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; they have made thy benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim."
"asv","26","27","7","Of fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was thy sail, that it might be to thee for an ensign; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine awning."
"asv","26","27","8","The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were thy rowers: thy wise men, O Tyre, were in thee, they were thy pilots."
"asv","26","27","9","The old men of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to deal in thy merchandise."
"asv","26","27","10","Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness."
"asv","26","27","11","The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and valorous men were in thy towers; they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have perfected thy beauty."
"asv","26","27","12","Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for thy wares."
"asv","26","27","13","Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy traffickers; they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for thy merchandise."
"asv","26","27","14","They of the house of Togarmah traded for thy wares with horses and war-horses and mules."
"asv","26","27","15","The men of Dedan were thy traffickers; many isles were the mart of thy hand: they brought thee in exchange horns of ivory and ebony."
"asv","26","27","16","Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of thy handiworks: they traded for thy wares with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies."
"asv","26","27","17","Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy traffickers: they traded for thy merchandise wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm."
"asv","26","27","18","Damascus was thy merchant for the multitude of thy handiworks, by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool."
"asv","26","27","19","Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for thy wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among thy merchandise."
"asv","26","27","20","Dedan was thy trafficker in precious cloths for riding."
"asv","26","27","21","Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of thy hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they thy merchants."
"asv","26","27","22","The traffickers of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy wares with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold."
"asv","26","27","23","Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur  and  Chilmad, were thy traffickers."
"asv","26","27","24","These were thy traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and made of cedar, among thy merchandise."
"asv","26","27","25","The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the heart of the seas."
"asv","26","27","26","Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas."
"asv","26","27","27","Thy riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the dealers in thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin."
"asv","26","27","28","At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the suburbs shall shake."
"asv","26","27","29","And all that handled the oar, the mariners,  and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land,"
"asv","26","27","30","and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:"
"asv","26","27","31","and they shall make themselves bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning."
"asv","26","27","32","And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee,  saying, Who is there like Tyre, like her that is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?"
"asv","26","27","33","When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise."
"asv","26","27","34","In the time that thou wast broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company did fall in the midst of thee."
"asv","26","27","35","All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their countenance."
"asv","26","27","36","The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being."
"asv","26","28","1","The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","28","2","Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of God;—"
"asv","26","28","3","behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from thee;"
"asv","26","28","4","by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;"
"asv","26","28","5","by thy great wisdom  and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches;—"
"asv","26","28","6","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,"
"asv","26","28","7","therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness."
"asv","26","28","8","They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the death of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas."
"asv","26","28","9","Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth thee."
"asv","26","28","10","Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","28","11","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","28","12","Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty."
"asv","26","28","13","Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was in thee; in the day that thou wast created they were prepared."
"asv","26","28","14","Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee,  so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."
"asv","26","28","15","Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee."
"asv","26","28","16","By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire."
"asv","26","28","17","Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee."
"asv","26","28","18","By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee."
"asv","26","28","19","All they that know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt nevermore have any being."
"asv","26","28","20","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","28","21","Son of man, set thy face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,"
"asv","26","28","22","and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her."
"asv","26","28","23","For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","28","24","And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are round about them, that did despite unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","28","25","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob."
"asv","26","28","26","And they shall dwell securely therein; yea, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments upon all those that do them despite round about them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah their God."
"asv","26","29","1","In the tenth year, in the tenth  month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","29","2","Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;"
"asv","26","29","3","speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lieth in the midst of his rivers, that hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself."
"asv","26","29","4","And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales; and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, with all the fish of thy rivers which stick unto thy scales."
"asv","26","29","5","And I will cast thee forth into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; I have given thee for food to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens."
"asv","26","29","6","And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel."
"asv","26","29","7","When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and didst rend all their shoulders; and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand."
"asv","26","29","8","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and will cut off from thee man and beast."
"asv","26","29","9","And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. Because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it;"
"asv","26","29","10","therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even unto the border of Ethiopia."
"asv","26","29","11","No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years."
"asv","26","29","12","And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."
"asv","26","29","13","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered;"
"asv","26","29","14","and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom."
"asv","26","29","15","It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations."
"asv","26","29","16","And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","29","17","And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first  day of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","29","18","Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it."
"asv","26","29","19","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army."
"asv","26","29","20","I have given him the land of Egypt as his recompense for which he served, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","29","21","In that day will I cause a horn to bud forth unto the house of Israel, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","30","1","The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","30","2","Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Wail ye, Alas for the day!"
"asv","26","30","3","For the day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations."
"asv","26","30","4","And a sword shall come upon Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down."
"asv","26","30","5","Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mingled people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword."
"asv","26","30","6","Thus saith Jehovah: They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Seveneh shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","30","7","And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted."
"asv","26","30","8","And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed."
"asv","26","30","9","In that day shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for, lo, it cometh."
"asv","26","30","10","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease, by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon."
"asv","26","30","11","He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain."
"asv","26","30","12","And I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I, Jehovah, have spoken it."
"asv","26","30","13","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt."
"asv","26","30","14","And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments upon No."
"asv","26","30","15","And I will pour my wrath upon Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No."
"asv","26","30","16","And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis  shall have adversaries in the day-time."
"asv","26","30","17","The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these  cities shall go into captivity."
"asv","26","30","18","At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity."
"asv","26","30","19","Thus will I execute judgments upon Egypt; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","30","20","And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first  month, in the seventh  day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","30","21","Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it hath not been bound up, to apply  healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold the sword."
"asv","26","30","22","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong  arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand."
"asv","26","30","23","And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries."
"asv","26","30","24","And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man."
"asv","26","30","25","And I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt."
"asv","26","30","26","And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","31","1","And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third  month, in the first  day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","31","2","Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness?"
"asv","26","31","3","Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs."
"asv","26","31","4","The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field."
"asv","26","31","5","Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot  them forth."
"asv","26","31","6","All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations."
"asv","26","31","7","Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters."
"asv","26","31","8","The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty."
"asv","26","31","9","I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it."
"asv","26","31","10","Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;"
"asv","26","31","11","I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness."
"asv","26","31","12","And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him."
"asv","26","31","13","Upon his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches;"
"asv","26","31","14","to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height,  even all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit."
"asv","26","31","15","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him."
"asv","26","31","16","I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth."
"asv","26","31","17","They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm,  that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations."
"asv","26","31","18","To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","32","1","And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first  day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","32","2","Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou wast likened unto a young lion of the nations: yet art thou as a monster in the seas; and thou didst break forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers."
"asv","26","32","3","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will spread out my net upon thee with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring thee up in my net."
"asv","26","32","4","And I will leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the birds of the heavens to settle upon thee, and I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with thee."
"asv","26","32","5","And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height."
"asv","26","32","6","I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of thee."
"asv","26","32","7","And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heavens, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light."
"asv","26","32","8","All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","32","9","I will also vex the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known."
"asv","26","32","10","Yea, I will make many peoples amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall."
"asv","26","32","11","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee."
"asv","26","32","12","By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nought the pride of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed."
"asv","26","32","13","I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them."
"asv","26","32","14","Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","32","15","When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","32","16","This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","32","17","It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth  day  of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","32","18","Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit."
"asv","26","32","19","Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised."
"asv","26","32","20","They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes."
"asv","26","32","21","The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword."
"asv","26","32","22","Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are round about her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;"
"asv","26","32","23","whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is round about her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living."
"asv","26","32","24","There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit."
"asv","26","32","25","They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are round about her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that are slain."
"asv","26","32","26","There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are round about them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living."
"asv","26","32","27","And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, that are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are upon their bones; for  they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living."
"asv","26","32","28","But thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain by the sword."
"asv","26","32","29","There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with them that are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit."
"asv","26","32","30","There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit."
"asv","26","32","31","Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","32","32","For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","33","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","33","2","Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;"
"asv","26","33","3","if, when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;"
"asv","26","33","4","then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head."
"asv","26","33","5","He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul."
"asv","26","33","6","But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword come, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand."
"asv","26","33","7","So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me."
"asv","26","33","8","When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die, and thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand."
"asv","26","33","9","Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul."
"asv","26","33","10","And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?"
"asv","26","33","11","Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"
"asv","26","33","12","And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth."
"asv","26","33","13","When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his righteousness, and commit iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in his iniquity that he hath committed, therein shall he die."
"asv","26","33","14","Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;"
"asv","26","33","15","if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"asv","26","33","16","None of his sins that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live."
"asv","26","33","17","Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal."
"asv","26","33","18","When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die therein."
"asv","26","33","19","And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby."
"asv","26","33","20","Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways."
"asv","26","33","21","And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth  day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten."
"asv","26","33","22","Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb."
"asv","26","33","23","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","33","24","Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance."
"asv","26","33","25","Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes unto your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?"
"asv","26","33","26","Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?"
"asv","26","33","27","Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured; and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence."
"asv","26","33","28","And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through."
"asv","26","33","29","Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed."
"asv","26","33","30","And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people talk of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah."
"asv","26","33","31","And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but do them not; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their gain."
"asv","26","33","32","And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear thy words, but they do them not."
"asv","26","33","33","And when this cometh to pass, (behold, it cometh,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."
"asv","26","34","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","34","2","Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, even to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep?"
"asv","26","34","3","Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep."
"asv","26","34","4","The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them."
"asv","26","34","5","And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered."
"asv","26","34","6","My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and there was none that did search or seek  after them."
"asv","26","34","7","Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:"
"asv","26","34","8","As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep;"
"asv","26","34","9","therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:"
"asv","26","34","10","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them."
"asv","26","34","11","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out."
"asv","26","34","12","As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day."
"asv","26","34","13","And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country."
"asv","26","34","14","I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel."
"asv","26","34","15","I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","34","16","I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice."
"asv","26","34","17","And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats."
"asv","26","34","18","Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?"
"asv","26","34","19","And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet."
"asv","26","34","20","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep."
"asv","26","34","21","Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;"
"asv","26","34","22","therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep."
"asv","26","34","23","And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd."
"asv","26","34","24","And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it."
"asv","26","34","25","And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land; and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods."
"asv","26","34","26","And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing."
"asv","26","34","27","And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those that made bondmen of them."
"asv","26","34","28","And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid."
"asv","26","34","29","And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown, and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more."
"asv","26","34","30","And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","34","31","And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","35","1","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","35","2","Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,"
"asv","26","35","3","and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment."
"asv","26","35","4","I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","35","5","Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end;"
"asv","26","35","6","therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee."
"asv","26","35","7","Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth."
"asv","26","35","8","And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword."
"asv","26","35","9","I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","35","10","Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there:"
"asv","26","35","11","therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee."
"asv","26","35","12","And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour."
"asv","26","35","13","And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it."
"asv","26","35","14","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate."
"asv","26","35","15","As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","36","1","And thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah."
"asv","26","36","2","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession;"
"asv","26","36","3","therefore prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;"
"asv","26","36","4","therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are round about;"
"asv","26","36","5","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land unto themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey."
"asv","26","36","6","Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because ye have borne the shame of the nations:"
"asv","26","36","7","therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I have sworn,  saying, Surely the nations that are round about you, they shall bear their shame."
"asv","26","36","8","But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come."
"asv","26","36","9","For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and ye shall be tilled and sown;"
"asv","26","36","10","and I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded;"
"asv","26","36","11","and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better  unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","36","12","Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of children."
"asv","26","36","13","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because they say unto you, Thou  land  art a devourer of men, and hast been a bereaver of thy nation;"
"asv","26","36","14","therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nation any more, saith the Lord Jehovah;"
"asv","26","36","15","neither will I let thee hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nation to stumble any more, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","36","16","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","36","17","Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity."
"asv","26","36","18","Wherefore I poured out my wrath upon them for the blood which they had poured out upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;"
"asv","26","36","19","and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them."
"asv","26","36","20","And when they came unto the nations, whither they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and are gone forth out of his land."
"asv","26","36","21","But I had regard for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they went."
"asv","26","36","22","Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I do not  this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye went."
"asv","26","36","23","And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes."
"asv","26","36","24","For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land."
"asv","26","36","25","And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you."
"asv","26","36","26","A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."
"asv","26","36","27","And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep mine ordinances, and do them."
"asv","26","36","28","And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God."
"asv","26","36","29","And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you."
"asv","26","36","30","And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations."
"asv","26","36","31","Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations."
"asv","26","36","32","Nor for your sake do I  this, saith the Lord Jehovah, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel."
"asv","26","36","33","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be builded."
"asv","26","36","34","And the land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all that passed by."
"asv","26","36","35","And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited."
"asv","26","36","36","Then the nations that are left round about you shall know that I, Jehovah, have builded the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it."
"asv","26","36","37","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock."
"asv","26","36","38","As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","37","1","The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones."
"asv","26","37","2","And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry."
"asv","26","37","3","And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest."
"asv","26","37","4","Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah."
"asv","26","37","5","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live."
"asv","26","37","6","And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","37","7","So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone."
"asv","26","37","8","And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them."
"asv","26","37","9","Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live."
"asv","26","37","10","So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army."
"asv","26","37","11","Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off."
"asv","26","37","12","Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel."
"asv","26","37","13","And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people."
"asv","26","37","14","And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah."
"asv","26","37","15","The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","37","16","And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and  for all the house of Israel his companions:"
"asv","26","37","17","and join them for thee one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand."
"asv","26","37","18","And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?"
"asv","26","37","19","say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it,  even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand."
"asv","26","37","20","And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes."
"asv","26","37","21","And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:"
"asv","26","37","22","and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;"
"asv","26","37","23","neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling-places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God."
"asv","26","37","24","And my servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in mine ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them."
"asv","26","37","25","And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever."
"asv","26","37","26","Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore."
"asv","26","37","27","My tabernacle also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
"asv","26","37","28","And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore."
"asv","26","38","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","26","38","2","Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,"
"asv","26","38","3","and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:"
"asv","26","38","4","and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;"
"asv","26","38","5","Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;"
"asv","26","38","6","Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with thee."
"asv","26","38","7","Be thou prepared, yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them."
"asv","26","38","8","After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them."
"asv","26","38","9","And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy hordes, and many peoples with thee."
"asv","26","38","10","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device:"
"asv","26","38","11","and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;"
"asv","26","38","12","to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are  now inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth."
"asv","26","38","13","Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take the spoil? hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil?"
"asv","26","38","14","Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, shalt thou not know it?"
"asv","26","38","15","And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army;"
"asv","26","38","16","and thou shalt come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes."
"asv","26","38","17","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, that prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring thee against them?"
"asv","26","38","18","And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, that my wrath shall come up into my nostrils."
"asv","26","38","19","For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;"
"asv","26","38","20","so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground."
"asv","26","38","21","And I will call for a sword against him unto all my mountains, saith the Lord Jehovah: every man’s sword shall be against his brother."
"asv","26","38","22","And with pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone."
"asv","26","38","23","And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","39","1","And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:"
"asv","26","39","2","and I will turn thee about, and will lead thee on, and will cause thee to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel;"
"asv","26","39","3","and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand."
"asv","26","39","4","Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy hordes, and the peoples that are with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured."
"asv","26","39","5","Thou shalt fall upon the open field; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","39","6","And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell securely in the isles; and they shall know that I am Jehovah."
"asv","26","39","7","And my holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither will I suffer my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, the Holy One in Israel."
"asv","26","39","8","Behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah; this is the day whereof I have spoken."
"asv","26","39","9","And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years;"
"asv","26","39","10","so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","39","11","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of them that pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop them that pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog."
"asv","26","39","12","And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land."
"asv","26","39","13","Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","39","14","And they shall set apart men of continual employment, that shall pass through the land, and, with them that pass through, those that bury them that remain upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search."
"asv","26","39","15","And they that pass through the land shall pass through; and when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog."
"asv","26","39","16","And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land."
"asv","26","39","17","And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Speak unto the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and drink blood."
"asv","26","39","18","Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan."
"asv","26","39","19","And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you."
"asv","26","39","20","And ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","39","21","And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them."
"asv","26","39","22","So the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah their God, from that day and forward."
"asv","26","39","23","And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword."
"asv","26","39","24","According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions did I unto them; and I hid my face from them."
"asv","26","39","25","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name."
"asv","26","39","26","And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid;"
"asv","26","39","27","when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations."
"asv","26","39","28","And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them unto their own land; and I will leave none of them any more there;"
"asv","26","39","29","neither will I hide my face any more from them; for I have poured out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","40","1","In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth  day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day, the hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me thither."
"asv","26","40","2","In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south."
"asv","26","40","3","And he brought me thither; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate."
"asv","26","40","4","And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel."
"asv","26","40","5","And, behold, a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man’s hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed."
"asv","26","40","6","Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad."
"asv","26","40","7","And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and  the space between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed."
"asv","26","40","8","He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed."
"asv","26","40","9","Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house."
"asv","26","40","10","And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side."
"asv","26","40","11","And he measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;"
"asv","26","40","12","and a border before the lodges, one cubit  on this side, and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side."
"asv","26","40","13","And he measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door."
"asv","26","40","14","He made also posts, threescore cubits; and the court  reached  unto the posts, round about the gate."
"asv","26","40","15","And  from the forefront of the gate at the entrance unto the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits."
"asv","26","40","16","And there were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches; and windows were round about inward; and upon  each post were palm-trees."
"asv","26","40","17","Then brought he me into the outer court; and, lo, there were chambers and a pavement, made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement."
"asv","26","40","18","And the pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable unto the length of the gates, even the lower pavement."
"asv","26","40","19","Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits,  both  on the east and on the north."
"asv","26","40","20","And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof."
"asv","26","40","21","And the lodges thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits."
"asv","26","40","22","And the windows thereof, and the arches thereof, and the palm-trees thereof, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them."
"asv","26","40","23","And there was a gate to the inner court over against the  other  gate,  both on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits."
"asv","26","40","24","And he led me toward the south; and, behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures."
"asv","26","40","25","And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits."
"asv","26","40","26","And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them; and it had palm-trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof."
"asv","26","40","27","And there was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits."
"asv","26","40","28","Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;"
"asv","26","40","29","and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad."
"asv","26","40","30","And there were arches round about, five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad."
"asv","26","40","31","And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof: and the ascent to it had eight steps."
"asv","26","40","32","And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;"
"asv","26","40","33","and the lodges thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about; it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad."
"asv","26","40","34","And the arches thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps."
"asv","26","40","35","And he brought me to the north gate: and he measured  it according to these measures;"
"asv","26","40","36","the lodges thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof: and there were windows therein round about; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits."
"asv","26","40","37","And the posts thereof were toward the outer court; and palm-trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps."
"asv","26","40","38","And a chamber with the door thereof was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt-offering."
"asv","26","40","39","And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering."
"asv","26","40","40","And on the  one side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables."
"asv","26","40","41","Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew  the sacrifices."
"asv","26","40","42","And there were four tables for the burnt-offering, of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt-offering and the sacrifice."
"asv","26","40","43","And the hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the oblation."
"asv","26","40","44","And without the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north."
"asv","26","40","45","And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house;"
"asv","26","40","46","and the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister unto him."
"asv","26","40","47","And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house."
"asv","26","40","48","Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side."
"asv","26","40","49","The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side."
"asv","26","41","1","And he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle."
"asv","26","41","2","And the breadth of the entrance was ten cubits; and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits."
"asv","26","41","3","Then went he inward, and measured each post of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits; and the breadth of the entrance, seven cubits."
"asv","26","41","4","And he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place."
"asv","26","41","5","Then he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side-chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side."
"asv","26","41","6","And the side-chambers were in three stories, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which belonged to the house for the side-chambers round about, that they might have hold  therein, and not have hold in the wall of the house."
"asv","26","41","7","And the side-chambers were broader as they encompassed  the house  higher and higher; for the encompassing of the house went higher and higher round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house  continued  upward; and so one went up  from the lowest  chamber  to the highest by the middle  chamber."
"asv","26","41","8","I saw also that the house had a raised basement round about: the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed of six great cubits."
"asv","26","41","9","The thickness of the wall, which was for the side-chambers, on the outside, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side-chambers that belonged to the house."
"asv","26","41","10","And between the chambers was a breadth of twenty cubits round about the house on every side."
"asv","26","41","11","And the doors of the side-chambers were toward  the place  that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about."
"asv","26","41","12","And the building that was before the separate place at the side toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits."
"asv","26","41","13","So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long;"
"asv","26","41","14","also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits."
"asv","26","41","15","And he measured the length of the building before the separate place which was at the back thereof, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits; and the inner temple, and the porches of the court;"
"asv","26","41","16","the thresholds, and the closed windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the threshold, ceiled with wood round about, and  from the ground up to the windows, (now the windows were covered),"
"asv","26","41","17","to  the space above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure."
"asv","26","41","18","And it was made with cherubim and palm-trees; and a palm-tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces;"
"asv","26","41","19","so that there was the face of a man toward the palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm-tree on the other side. thus was it made through all the house round about:"
"asv","26","41","20","from the ground unto above the door were cherubim and palm-trees made: thus was the wall of the temple."
"asv","26","41","21","As for the temple, the door-posts were squared; and as for the face of the sanctuary, the appearance  thereof was as the appearance of the temple."
"asv","26","41","22","The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before Jehovah."
"asv","26","41","23","And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors."
"asv","26","41","24","And the doors had two leaves  apiece, two turning leaves: two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other."
"asv","26","41","25","And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm-trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there was a threshold of wood upon the face of the porch without."
"asv","26","41","26","And there were closed windows and palm-trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch: thus were the side-chambers of the house, and the thresholds."
"asv","26","42","1","Then he brought me forth into the outer court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was over against the building toward the north."
"asv","26","42","2","Before the length of a hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits."
"asv","26","42","3","Over against the twenty  cubits which belonged to the inner court, and over against the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery against gallery in the third story."
"asv","26","42","4","And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits’ breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors were toward the north."
"asv","26","42","5","Now the upper chambers were shorter; for the galleries took away from these, more than from the lower and the middlemost, in the building."
"asv","26","42","6","For they were in three stories, and they had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore  the uppermost was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground."
"asv","26","42","7","And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court before the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits."
"asv","26","42","8","For the length of the chambers that were in the outer court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits."
"asv","26","42","9","And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the outer court."
"asv","26","42","10","In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, before the separate place, and before the building, there were chambers."
"asv","26","42","11","And the way before them was like the appearance of  the way of  the chambers which were toward the north; according to their length so was their breadth: and all their egresses were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors."
"asv","26","42","12","And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door at the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them."
"asv","26","42","13","Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they are the holy chambers, where the priests that are near unto Jehovah shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for the place is holy."
"asv","26","42","14","When the priests enter in, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy: and they shall put on other garments, and shall approach to that which pertaineth to the people."
"asv","26","42","15","Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about."
"asv","26","42","16","He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about."
"asv","26","42","17","He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about."
"asv","26","42","18","He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed."
"asv","26","42","19","He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed."
"asv","26","42","20","He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common."
"asv","26","43","1","Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east."
"asv","26","43","2","And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory."
"asv","26","43","3","And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face."
"asv","26","43","4","And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east."
"asv","26","43","5","And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house."
"asv","26","43","6","And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me."
"asv","26","43","7","And he said unto me, Son of man,  this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings  in their high places;"
"asv","26","43","8","in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was  but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger."
"asv","26","43","9","Now let them put away their whoredom, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me; and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever."
"asv","26","43","10","Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern."
"asv","26","43","11","And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them."
"asv","26","43","12","This is the law of the house: upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house."
"asv","26","43","13","And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar."
"asv","26","43","14","And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit."
"asv","26","43","15","And the upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns."
"asv","26","43","16","And the altar hearth shall be twelve  cubits long by twelve broad, square in the four sides thereof."
"asv","26","43","17","And the ledge shall be fourteen  cubits long by fourteen broad in the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and the steps thereof shall look toward the east."
"asv","26","43","18","And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon."
"asv","26","43","19","Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who are near unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord Jehovah, a young bullock for a sin-offering."
"asv","26","43","20","And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse it and make atonement for it."
"asv","26","43","21","Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary."
"asv","26","43","22","And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock."
"asv","26","43","23","When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish."
"asv","26","43","24","And thou shalt bring them near before Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah."
"asv","26","43","25","Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin-offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish."
"asv","26","43","26","Seven days shall they make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it."
"asv","26","43","27","And when they have accomplished the days, it shall be that upon the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt-offerings upon the altar, and your peace-offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","44","1","Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looketh toward the east; and it was shut."
"asv","26","44","2","And Jehovah said unto me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, neither shall any man enter in by it; for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it; therefore it shall be shut."
"asv","26","44","3","As for the prince, he shall sit therein as prince to eat bread before Jehovah; he shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the way of the same."
"asv","26","44","4","Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face."
"asv","26","44","5","And Jehovah said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of Jehovah, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every egress of the sanctuary."
"asv","26","44","6","And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,"
"asv","26","44","7","in that ye have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant,  to add unto all your abominations."
"asv","26","44","8","And ye have not kept the charge of my holy things; but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves."
"asv","26","44","9","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the children of Israel."
"asv","26","44","10","But the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, that went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity."
"asv","26","44","11","Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them."
"asv","26","44","12","Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity."
"asv","26","44","13","And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed."
"asv","26","44","14","Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein."
"asv","26","44","15","But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah:"
"asv","26","44","16","they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge."
"asv","26","44","17","And it shall be that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within."
"asv","26","44","18","They shall have linen tires upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with  anything that causeth sweat."
"asv","26","44","19","And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that they sanctify not the people with their garments."
"asv","26","44","20","Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only cut off the hair of their heads."
"asv","26","44","21","Neither shall any of the priests drink wine, when they enter into the inner court."
"asv","26","44","22","Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that is the widow of a priest."
"asv","26","44","23","And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean."
"asv","26","44","24","And in a controversy they shall stand to judge; according to mine ordinances shall they judge it: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts; and they shall hallow my sabbaths."
"asv","26","44","25","And they shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves."
"asv","26","44","26","And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days."
"asv","26","44","27","And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","44","28","And they shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and ye shall give them no possession in Israel; I am their possession."
"asv","26","44","29","They shall eat the meal-offering, and the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs."
"asv","26","44","30","And the first of all the first-fruits of every thing, and every oblation of everything, of all your oblations, shall be for the priest: ye shall also give unto the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house."
"asv","26","44","31","The priests shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself, or is torn, whether it be bird or beast."
"asv","26","45","1","Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto Jehovah, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand  reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand: it shall be holy in all the border thereof round about."
"asv","26","45","2","Of this there shall be for the holy place five hundred  in length  by five hundred  in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits for the suburbs thereof round about."
"asv","26","45","3","And of this measure shalt thou measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary, which is most holy."
"asv","26","45","4","It is a holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, that come near to minister unto Jehovah; and it shall be a place for their houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary."
"asv","26","45","5","And five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth, shall be unto the Levites, the ministers of the house, for a possession unto themselves,  for twenty chambers."
"asv","26","45","6","And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, side by side with the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel."
"asv","26","45","7","And  whatsoever is for the prince  shall be on the one side and on the other side of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city, in front of the holy oblation and in front of the possession of the city, on the west side westward, and on the east side eastward; and in length answerable unto one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border."
"asv","26","45","8","In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes."
"asv","26","45","9","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","45","10","Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath."
"asv","26","45","11","The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer."
"asv","26","45","12","And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh."
"asv","26","45","13","This is the oblation that ye shall offer: the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of wheat; and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah from a homer of barley;"
"asv","26","45","14","and the set portion of oil, of the bath of oil, the tenth part of a bath out of the cor,  which is ten baths, even a homer; (for ten baths are a homer;)"
"asv","26","45","15","and one lamb of the flock, out of two hundred, from the well-watered pastures of Israel;—for a meal-offering, and for a burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement for them, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","45","16","All the people of the land shall give unto this oblation for the prince in Israel."
"asv","26","45","17","And it shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt-offerings, and the meal-offerings, and the drink-offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin-offering, and the meal-offering, and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel."
"asv","26","45","18","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the first  month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish; and thou shalt cleanse the sanctuary."
"asv","26","45","19","And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering, and put it upon the door-posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court."
"asv","26","45","20","And so thou shalt do on the seventh  day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye make atonement for the house."
"asv","26","45","21","In the first  month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten."
"asv","26","45","22","And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin-offering."
"asv","26","45","23","And the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a he-goat daily for a sin-offering."
"asv","26","45","24","And he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and a hin of oil to an ephah."
"asv","26","45","25","In the seventh  month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the feast, shall he do the like the seven days; according to the sin-offering, according to the burnt-offering, and according to the meal-offering, and according to the oil."
"asv","26","46","1","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened."
"asv","26","46","2","And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening."
"asv","26","46","3","And the people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Jehovah on the sabbaths and on the new moons."
"asv","26","46","4","And the burnt-offering that the prince shall offer unto Jehovah shall be on the sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;"
"asv","26","46","5","and the meal-offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal-offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah."
"asv","26","46","6","And on the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:"
"asv","26","46","7","and he shall prepare a meal-offering, an ephah for the bullock, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah."
"asv","26","46","8","And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof."
"asv","26","46","9","But when the people of the land shall come before Jehovah in the appointed feasts, he that entereth by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth straight before him."
"asv","26","46","10","And the prince, when they go in, shall go in in the midst of them; and when they go forth, they shall go forth  together."
"asv","26","46","11","And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meal-offering shall be an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah."
"asv","26","46","12","And when the prince shall prepare a freewill-offering, a burnt-offering or peace-offerings as a freewill-offering unto Jehovah, one shall open for him the gate that looketh toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt-offering and his peace-offerings, as he doth on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate."
"asv","26","46","13","And thou shalt prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah daily: morning by morning shalt thou prepare it."
"asv","26","46","14","And thou shalt prepare a meal-offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal-offering unto Jehovah continually by a perpetual ordinance."
"asv","26","46","15","Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal-offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt-offering."
"asv","26","46","16","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance."
"asv","26","46","17","But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons."
"asv","26","46","18","Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people be not scattered every man from his possession."
"asv","26","46","19","Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward."
"asv","26","46","20","And he said unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass-offering and the sin-offering,  and where they shall bake the meal-offering; that they bring them not forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people."
"asv","26","46","21","Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court."
"asv","26","46","22","In the four corners of the court there were courts inclosed, forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure."
"asv","26","46","23","And there was a wall round about in them, round about the four, and boiling-places were made under the walls round about."
"asv","26","46","24","Then said he unto me, These are the boiling-houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people."
"asv","26","47","1","And he brought me back unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; (for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar."
"asv","26","47","2","Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of  the gate  that looketh toward the east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side."
"asv","26","47","3","When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles."
"asv","26","47","4","Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through  the waters, waters that were to the loins."
"asv","26","47","5","Afterward he measured a thousand;  and it was a river that I could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through."
"asv","26","47","6","And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen  this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river."
"asv","26","47","7","Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other."
"asv","26","47","8","Then said he unto me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea  shall the waters go which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed."
"asv","26","47","9","And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and  the waters of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh."
"asv","26","47","10","And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many."
"asv","26","47","11","But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt."
"asv","26","47","12","And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not whither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing."
"asv","26","47","13","Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This shall be the border, whereby ye shall divide the land for inheritance according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph  shall have two portions."
"asv","26","47","14","And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another; for I sware to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance."
"asv","26","47","15","And this shall be the border of the land: On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, unto the entrance of Zedad;"
"asv","26","47","16","Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran."
"asv","26","47","17","And the border from the sea, shall be Hazar-enon at the border of Damascus; and on the north northward is the border of Hamath. This is the north side."
"asv","26","47","18","And the east side, between Hauran and Damascus and Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the  north border unto the east sea shall ye measure. This is the east side."
"asv","26","47","19","And the south side southward shall be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meriboth-kadesh, to the brook  of Egypt, unto the great sea. This is the south side southward."
"asv","26","47","20","And the west side shall be the great sea, from the  south  border as far as over against the entrance of Hamath. This is the west side."
"asv","26","47","21","So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel."
"asv","26","47","22","And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel."
"asv","26","47","23","And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","48","1","Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east  and  west,) Dan, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","2","And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, Asher, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","3","And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, Naphtali, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","4","And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, Manasseh, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","5","And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, Ephraim, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","6","And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, Reuben, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","7","And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","8","And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand  reeds  in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it."
"asv","26","48","9","The oblation that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand  reeds in length, and ten thousand in breadth."
"asv","26","48","10","And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation: toward the north five and twenty thousand  in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in the midst thereof."
"asv","26","48","11"," It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, that have kept my charge, that went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray."
"asv","26","48","12","And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites."
"asv","26","48","13","And answerable unto the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand."
"asv","26","48","14","And they shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first-fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy unto Jehovah."
"asv","26","48","15","And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in the midst thereof."
"asv","26","48","16","And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred."
"asv","26","48","17","And the city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty."
"asv","26","48","18","And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that labor in the city."
"asv","26","48","19","And they that labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it."
"asv","26","48","20","All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation four-square, with the possession of the city."
"asv","26","48","21","And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city; in front of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof."
"asv","26","48","22","Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince."
"asv","26","48","23","And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","24","And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","25","And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","26","And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","27","And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad, one  portion."
"asv","26","48","28","And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook of Egypt, unto the great sea."
"asv","26","48","29","This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","26","48","30","And these are the egresses of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred  reeds by measure;"
"asv","26","48","31","and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one."
"asv","26","48","32","And at the east side four thousand and five hundred  reeds, and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one."
"asv","26","48","33","And at the south side four thousand and five hundred  reeds  by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one."
"asv","26","48","34","At the west side four thousand and five hundred  reeds, with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one."
"asv","26","48","35","It shall be eighteen thousand  reeds round about: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Jehovah is there."
"asv","27","1","1","In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it."
"asv","27","1","2","And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure-house of his god."
"asv","27","1","3","And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in  certain of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;"
"asv","27","1","4","youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king’s palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans."
"asv","27","1","5","And the king appointed for them a daily portion of the king’s dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at the end thereof they should stand before the king."
"asv","27","1","6","Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah."
"asv","27","1","7","And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah,  of Shadrach; and to Mishael,  of Meshach; and to Azariah,  of Abed-nego."
"asv","27","1","8","But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."
"asv","27","1","9","Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs."
"asv","27","1","10","And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? so would ye endanger my head with the king."
"asv","27","1","11","Then said Daniel to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:"
"asv","27","1","12","Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink."
"asv","27","1","13","Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king’s dainties; and as thou seest, deal with thy servants."
"asv","27","1","14","So he hearkened unto them in this matter, and proved them ten days."
"asv","27","1","15","And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths that did eat of the king’s dainties."
"asv","27","1","16","So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse."
"asv","27","1","17","Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams."
"asv","27","1","18","And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar."
"asv","27","1","19","And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king."
"asv","27","1","20","And in every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm."
"asv","27","1","21","And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus."
"asv","27","2","1","And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him."
"asv","27","2","2","Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king."
"asv","27","2","3","And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream."
"asv","27","2","4","Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in the Syrian language, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation."
"asv","27","2","5","The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill."
"asv","27","2","6","But if ye show the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor: therefore show me the dream and the interpretation thereof."
"asv","27","2","7","They answered the second time and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation."
"asv","27","2","8","The king answered and said, I know of a certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the thing is gone from me."
"asv","27","2","9","But if ye make not known unto me the dream, there is but one law for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof."
"asv","27","2","10","The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king’s matter, forasmuch as no king, lord, or ruler, hath asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean."
"asv","27","2","11","And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is no other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh."
"asv","27","2","12","For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon."
"asv","27","2","13","So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain."
"asv","27","2","14","Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;"
"asv","27","2","15","he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Wherefore is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel."
"asv","27","2","16","And Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation."
"asv","27","2","17","Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:"
"asv","27","2","18","that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon."
"asv","27","2","19","Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven."
"asv","27","2","20","Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever; for wisdom and might are his."
"asv","27","2","21","And he changeth the times and the seasons; he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding;"
"asv","27","2","22","he revealeth the deep and secret things; he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him."
"asv","27","2","23","I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known unto us the king’s matter."
"asv","27","2","24","Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation."
"asv","27","2","25","Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation."
"asv","27","2","26","The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?"
"asv","27","2","27","Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor soothsayers, show unto the king;"
"asv","27","2","28","but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and he hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:"
"asv","27","2","29","as for thee, O king, thy thoughts came  into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and he that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass."
"asv","27","2","30","But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart."
"asv","27","2","31","Thou, O king, sawest, and, behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the aspect thereof was terrible."
"asv","27","2","32","As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,"
"asv","27","2","33","its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay."
"asv","27","2","34","Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces."
"asv","27","2","35","Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth."
"asv","27","2","36","This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king."
"asv","27","2","37","Thou, O king, art king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;"
"asv","27","2","38","and wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens hath he given into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all: thou art the head of gold."
"asv","27","2","39","And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth."
"asv","27","2","40","And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush."
"asv","27","2","41","And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay."
"asv","27","2","42","And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken."
"asv","27","2","43","And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay."
"asv","27","2","44","And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."
"asv","27","2","45","Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure."
"asv","27","2","46","Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors unto him."
"asv","27","2","47","The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou hast been able to reveal this secret."
"asv","27","2","48","Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon."
"asv","27","2","49","And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel was in the gate of the king."
"asv","27","3","1","Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon."
"asv","27","3","2","Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up."
"asv","27","3","3","Then the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up."
"asv","27","3","4","Then the herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,"
"asv","27","3","5","that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;"
"asv","27","3","6","and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
"asv","27","3","7","Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up."
"asv","27","3","8","Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews."
"asv","27","3","9","They answered and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, O king, live for ever."
"asv","27","3","10","Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;"
"asv","27","3","11","and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."
"asv","27","3","12","There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."
"asv","27","3","13","Then Nebuchadnezzar in  his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king."
"asv","27","3","14","Nebuchadnezzar answered and said unto them, Is it of purpose, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that ye serve not my god, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?"
"asv","27","3","15","Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made,  well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that god that shall deliver you out of my hands?"
"asv","27","3","16","Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter."
"asv","27","3","17","If it be  so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king."
"asv","27","3","18","But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."
"asv","27","3","19","Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego:  therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated."
"asv","27","3","20","And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego,  and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace."
"asv","27","3","21","Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their mantles, and their  other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace."
"asv","27","3","22","Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego."
"asv","27","3","23","And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace."
"asv","27","3","24","Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king."
"asv","27","3","25","He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
"asv","27","3","26","Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth out of the midst of the fire."
"asv","27","3","27","And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them."
"asv","27","3","28","Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God."
"asv","27","3","29","Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort."
"asv","27","3","30","Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon."
"asv","27","4","1","Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you."
"asv","27","4","2","It hath seemed good unto me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God hath wrought toward me."
"asv","27","4","3","How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation."
"asv","27","4","4","I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace."
"asv","27","4","5","I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me."
"asv","27","4","6","Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream."
"asv","27","4","7","Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof."
"asv","27","4","8","But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I told the dream before him,  saying,"
"asv","27","4","9","O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof."
"asv","27","4","10","Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great."
"asv","27","4","11","The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth."
"asv","27","4","12","The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed from it."
"asv","27","4","13","I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven."
"asv","27","4","14","He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches."
"asv","27","4","15","Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:"
"asv","27","4","16","let his heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast’s heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him."
"asv","27","4","17","The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men."
"asv","27","4","18","This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee."
"asv","27","4","19","Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries."
"asv","27","4","20","The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;"
"asv","27","4","21","whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation:"
"asv","27","4","22","it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth."
"asv","27","4","23","And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;"
"asv","27","4","24","this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:"
"asv","27","4","25","that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."
"asv","27","4","26","And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule."
"asv","27","4","27","Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity."
"asv","27","4","28","All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar."
"asv","27","4","29","At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon."
"asv","27","4","30","The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?"
"asv","27","4","31","While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee:"
"asv","27","4","32","and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will."
"asv","27","4","33","The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles’  feathers, and his nails like birds’  claws."
"asv","27","4","34","And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation."
"asv","27","4","35","And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?"
"asv","27","4","36","At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me."
"asv","27","4","37","Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase."
"asv","27","5","1","Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand."
"asv","27","5","2","Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink therefrom."
"asv","27","5","3","Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them."
"asv","27","5","4","They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone."
"asv","27","5","5","In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote."
"asv","27","5","6","Then the king’s countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another."
"asv","27","5","7","The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"asv","27","5","8","Then came in all the king’s wise men; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation."
"asv","27","5","9","Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed."
"asv","27","5","10"," Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: the queen spake and said, O king, live forever; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed."
"asv","27","5","11","There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king,  I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;"
"asv","27","5","12","forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."
"asv","27","5","13","Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?"
"asv","27","5","14","I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in thee."
"asv","27","5","15","And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not show the interpretation of the thing."
"asv","27","5","16","But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"asv","27","5","17","Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation."
"asv","27","5","18","O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:"
"asv","27","5","19","and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down."
"asv","27","5","20","But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:"
"asv","27","5","21","and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts’, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will."
"asv","27","5","22","And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart, though thou knewest all this,"
"asv","27","5","23","but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified."
"asv","27","5","24","Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing was inscribed."
"asv","27","5","25","And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."
"asv","27","5","26","This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end;"
"asv","27","5","27","TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting."
"asv","27","5","28","PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."
"asv","27","5","29","Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"asv","27","5","30","In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain."
"asv","27","5","31","And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old."
"asv","27","6","1","It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;"
"asv","27","6","2","and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage."
"asv","27","6","3","Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm."
"asv","27","6","4","Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him."
"asv","27","6","5","Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."
"asv","27","6","6","Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever."
"asv","27","6","7","All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions."
"asv","27","6","8","Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not."
"asv","27","6","9","Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict."
"asv","27","6","10","And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime."
"asv","27","6","11","Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God."
"asv","27","6","12","Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not."
"asv","27","6","13","Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day."
"asv","27","6","14","Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him."
"asv","27","6","15","Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed."
"asv","27","6","16","Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions.  Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee."
"asv","27","6","17","And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel."
"asv","27","6","18","Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him."
"asv","27","6","19","Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions."
"asv","27","6","20","And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?"
"asv","27","6","21","Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever."
"asv","27","6","22","My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt."
"asv","27","6","23","Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God."
"asv","27","6","24","And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den."
"asv","27","6","25","Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you."
"asv","27","6","26","I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end."
"asv","27","6","27","He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
"asv","27","6","28","So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian."
"asv","27","7","1","In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters."
"asv","27","7","2","Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the great sea."
"asv","27","7","3","And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another."
"asv","27","7","4","The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man’s heart was given to it."
"asv","27","7","5","And, behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh."
"asv","27","7","6","After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."
"asv","27","7","7","After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns."
"asv","27","7","8","I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things."
"asv","27","7","9","I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames,  and the wheels thereof burning fire."
"asv","27","7","10","A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."
"asv","27","7","11","I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire."
"asv","27","7","12","And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time."
"asv","27","7","13","I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."
"asv","27","7","14","And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
"asv","27","7","15","As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me."
"asv","27","7","16","I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things."
"asv","27","7","17","These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth."
"asv","27","7","18","But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever."
"asv","27","7","19","Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;"
"asv","27","7","20","and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows."
"asv","27","7","21","I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;"
"asv","27","7","22","until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."
"asv","27","7","23","Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."
"asv","27","7","24","And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings."
"asv","27","7","25","And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time."
"asv","27","7","26","But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."
"asv","27","7","27","And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."
"asv","27","7","28","Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my countenance was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart."
"asv","27","8","1","In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first."
"asv","27","8","2","And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai."
"asv","27","8","3","Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last."
"asv","27","8","4","I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself."
"asv","27","8","5","And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes."
"asv","27","8","6","And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power."
"asv","27","8","7","And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand."
"asv","27","8","8","And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven."
"asv","27","8","9","And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land."
"asv","27","8","10","And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them."
"asv","27","8","11","Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual  burnt-offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down."
"asv","27","8","12","And the host was given over  to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did  its pleasure and prospered."
"asv","27","8","13","Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision  concerning  the continual  burnt-offering, and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?"
"asv","27","8","14","And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."
"asv","27","8","15","And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man."
"asv","27","8","16","And I heard a man’s voice between  the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision."
"asv","27","8","17","So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end."
"asv","27","8","18","Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright."
"asv","27","8","19","And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end."
"asv","27","8","20","The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia."
"asv","27","8","21","And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king."
"asv","27","8","22","And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power."
"asv","27","8","23","And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up."
"asv","27","8","24","And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do  his pleasure; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people."
"asv","27","8","25","And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in  their security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand."
"asv","27","8","26","And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days  to come."
"asv","27","8","27","And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it."
"asv","27","9","1","In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,"
"asv","27","9","2","in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years whereof the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years."
"asv","27","9","3","And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes."
"asv","27","9","4","And I prayed unto Jehovah my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, the great and dreadful God, who keepeth covenant and lovingkindness with them that love him and keep his commandments,"
"asv","27","9","5","we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thine ordinances;"
"asv","27","9","6","neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, that spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land."
"asv","27","9","7","O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee."
"asv","27","9","8","O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee."
"asv","27","9","9","To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelled against him;"
"asv","27","9","10","neither have we obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets."
"asv","27","9","11","Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even turning aside, that they should not obey thy voice: therefore hath the curse been poured out upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against him."
"asv","27","9","12","And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem."
"asv","27","9","13","As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet have we not entreated the favor of Jehovah our God, that we should turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in thy truth."
"asv","27","9","14","Therefore hath Jehovah watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for Jehovah our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth, and we have not obeyed his voice."
"asv","27","9","15","And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly."
"asv","27","9","16","O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, let thine anger and thy wrath, I pray thee, be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are round about us."
"asv","27","9","17","Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake."
"asv","27","9","18","O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies’ sake."
"asv","27","9","19","O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name."
"asv","27","9","20","And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;"
"asv","27","9","21","yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation."
"asv","27","9","22","And he instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding."
"asv","27","9","23","At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment went forth, and I am come to tell thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision."
"asv","27","9","24","Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy."
"asv","27","9","25","Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times."
"asv","27","9","26","And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined."
"asv","27","9","27","And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations  shall come one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall  wrath be poured out upon the desolate."
"asv","27","10","1","In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a great warfare: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision."
"asv","27","10","2","In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three whole weeks."
"asv","27","10","3","I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine into my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled."
"asv","27","10","4","And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,"
"asv","27","10","5","I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz:"
"asv","27","10","6","his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as flaming torches, and his arms and his feet like unto burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude."
"asv","27","10","7","And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves."
"asv","27","10","8","So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength."
"asv","27","10","9","Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground."
"asv","27","10","10","And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands."
"asv","27","10","11","And he said unto me, O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling."
"asv","27","10","12","Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard: and I am come for thy words’ sake."
"asv","27","10","13","But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia."
"asv","27","10","14","Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days; for the vision is yet for  many days:"
"asv","27","10","15","and when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb."
"asv","27","10","16","And, behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by reason of the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I retain no strength."
"asv","27","10","17","For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me."
"asv","27","10","18","Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me."
"asv","27","10","19","And he said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he spake unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me."
"asv","27","10","20","Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come."
"asv","27","10","21","But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince."
"asv","27","11","1","And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him."
"asv","27","11","2","And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece."
"asv","27","11","3","And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will."
"asv","27","11","4","And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these."
"asv","27","11","5","And the king of the south shall be strong, and  one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion."
"asv","27","11","6","And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times."
"asv","27","11","7","But out of a shoot from her roots shall one stand up in his place, who shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail."
"asv","27","11","8","And also their gods, with their molten images,  and with their goodly vessels of silver and of gold, shall he carry captive into Egypt; and he shall refrain some years from the king of the north."
"asv","27","11","9","And he shall come into the realm of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land."
"asv","27","11","10","And his sons shall war, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall come on, and overflow, and pass through; and they shall return and war, even to his fortress."
"asv","27","11","11","And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand."
"asv","27","11","12","And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail."
"asv","27","11","13","And the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance."
"asv","27","11","14","And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall fall."
"asv","27","11","15","So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city: and the forces of the south shall not stand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to stand."
"asv","27","11","16","But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the glorious land, and in his hand shall be destruction."
"asv","27","11","17","And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and with him equitable conditions; and he shall perform them: and he shall give him the daughter of women, to corrupt her; but she shall not stand, neither be for him."
"asv","27","11","18","After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, moreover, he shall cause his reproach to turn upon him."
"asv","27","11","19","Then he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found."
"asv","27","11","20","Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle."
"asv","27","11","21","And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries."
"asv","27","11","22","And the overwhelming forces shall be overwhelmed from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant."
"asv","27","11","23","And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; for he shall come up, and shall become strong, with a small people."
"asv","27","11","24","In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time."
"asv","27","11","25","And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him."
"asv","27","11","26","Yea, they that eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain."
"asv","27","11","27","And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed."
"asv","27","11","28","Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do  his pleasure, and return to his own land."
"asv","27","11","29","At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former."
"asv","27","11","30","For ships of Kittim shall come against him; therefore he shall be grieved, and shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do  his pleasure: he shall even return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant."
"asv","27","11","31","And forces shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and shall take away the continual  burnt-offering, and they shall set up the abomination that maketh desolate."
"asv","27","11","32","And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he pervert by flatteries; but the people that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."
"asv","27","11","33","And they that are wise among the people shall instruct many; yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil,  many  days."
"asv","27","11","34","Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves unto them with flatteries."
"asv","27","11","35","And some of them that are wise shall fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed."
"asv","27","11","36","And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done."
"asv","27","11","37","Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall magnify himself above all."
"asv","27","11","38","But in his place shall he honor the god of fortresses; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things."
"asv","27","11","39","And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god: whosoever acknowledgeth  him he will increase with glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price."
"asv","27","11","40","And at the time of the end shall the king of the south contend with him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass through."
"asv","27","11","41","He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many  countries  shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon."
"asv","27","11","42","He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape."
"asv","27","11","43","But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps."
"asv","27","11","44","But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many."
"asv","27","11","45","And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."
"asv","27","12","1","And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."
"asv","27","12","2","And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
"asv","27","12","3","And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
"asv","27","12","4","But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
"asv","27","12","5","Then I, Daniel, looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the brink of the river on this side, and the other on the brink of the river on that side."
"asv","27","12","6","And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?"
"asv","27","12","7","And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished."
"asv","27","12","8","And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?"
"asv","27","12","9","And he said, Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end."
"asv","27","12","10","Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand."
"asv","27","12","11","And from the time that the continual  burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days."
"asv","27","12","12","Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days."
"asv","27","12","13","But go thou thy way till the end be; for thou shalt rest, and shalt stand in thy lot, at the end of the days."
"asv","28","1","1","The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel."
"asv","28","1","2","When Jehovah spake at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom; for the land doth commit great whoredom,  departing from Jehovah."
"asv","28","1","3","So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bare him a son."
"asv","28","1","4","And Jehovah said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease."
"asv","28","1","5","And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."
"asv","28","1","6","And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And  Jehovah  said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah; for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel, that I should in any wise pardon them."
"asv","28","1","7","But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by Jehovah their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen."
"asv","28","1","8","Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son."
"asv","28","1","9","And  Jehovah said, Call his name Lo-ammi; for ye are not my people, and I will not be your  God."
"asv","28","1","10","Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said unto them,  Ye are the sons of the living God."
"asv","28","1","11","And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel."
"asv","28","2","1","Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah."
"asv","28","2","2","Contend with your mother, contend; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;"
"asv","28","2","3","lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst."
"asv","28","2","4","Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they are children of whoredom;"
"asv","28","2","5","for their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully; for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink."
"asv","28","2","6","Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths."
"asv","28","2","7","And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now."
"asv","28","2","8","For she did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal."
"asv","28","2","9","Therefore will I take back my grain in the time thereof, and my new wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness."
"asv","28","2","10","And now will I uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand."
"asv","28","2","11","I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies."
"asv","28","2","12","And I will lay waste her vines and her fig-trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them."
"asv","28","2","13","And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","28","2","14","Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her."
"asv","28","2","15","And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt."
"asv","28","2","16","And it shall be at that day, saith Jehovah, that thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali."
"asv","28","2","17","For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name."
"asv","28","2","18","And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely."
"asv","28","2","19","And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies."
"asv","28","2","20","I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know Jehovah."
"asv","28","2","21","And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith Jehovah, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;"
"asv","28","2","22","and the earth shall answer the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel."
"asv","28","2","23","And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them that were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say,  Thou art my God."
"asv","28","3","1","And Jehovah said unto me, Go again, love a woman beloved of  her  friend, and an adulteress, even as Jehovah loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love cakes of raisins."
"asv","28","3","2","So I bought her to me for fifteen  pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley;"
"asv","28","3","3","and I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be any man’s wife: so will I also be toward thee."
"asv","28","3","4","For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without prince, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim:"
"asv","28","3","5","afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall come with fear unto Jehovah and to his goodness in the latter days."
"asv","28","4","1","Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land."
"asv","28","4","2","There is nought but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood toucheth blood."
"asv","28","4","3","Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away."
"asv","28","4","4","Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest."
"asv","28","4","5","And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother."
"asv","28","4","6","My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children."
"asv","28","4","7","As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame."
"asv","28","4","8","They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity."
"asv","28","4","9","And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings."
"asv","28","4","10","And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah."
"asv","28","4","11","Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding."
"asv","28","4","12","My people ask counsel at their stock, and their staff declareth unto them; for the spirit of whoredom hath caused them to err, and they have played the harlot,  departing from under their God."
"asv","28","4","13","They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery."
"asv","28","4","14","I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for  the men themselves go apart with harlots, and they sacrifice with the prostitutes; and the people that doth not understand shall be overthrown."
"asv","28","4","15","Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah liveth."
"asv","28","4","16","For Israel hath behaved himself stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer: now will Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place."
"asv","28","4","17","Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone."
"asv","28","4","18","Their drink is become sour; they play the harlot continually; her rulers dearly love shame."
"asv","28","4","19","The wind hath wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices."
"asv","28","5","1","Hear this, O ye priests, and hearken, O house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king; for unto you pertaineth the judgment; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor."
"asv","28","5","2","And the revolters are gone deep in making slaughter; but I am a rebuker of them all."
"asv","28","5","3","I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O Ephraim, thou hast played the harlot, Israel is defiled."
"asv","28","5","4","Their doings will not suffer them to turn unto their God; for the spirit of whoredom is within them, and they know not Jehovah."
"asv","28","5","5","And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity; Judah also shall stumble with them."
"asv","28","5","6","They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find him: he hath withdrawn himself from them."
"asv","28","5","7","They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have borne strange children: now shall the new moon devour them with their fields."
"asv","28","5","8","Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: sound an alarm at Beth-aven; behind thee, O Benjamin."
"asv","28","5","9","Ephraim shall become a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be."
"asv","28","5","10","The princes of Judah are like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water."
"asv","28","5","11","Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; because he was content to walk after  man’s command."
"asv","28","5","12","Therefore am I unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness."
"asv","28","5","13","When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah  saw his wound, then went Ephraim to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound."
"asv","28","5","14","For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver."
"asv","28","5","15","I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
"asv","28","6","1","Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up."
"asv","28","6","2","After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him."
"asv","28","6","3","And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth."
"asv","28","6","4","O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that goeth early away."
"asv","28","6","5","Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are  as the light that goeth forth."
"asv","28","6","6","For I desire goodness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings."
"asv","28","6","7","But they like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me."
"asv","28","6","8","Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is stained with blood."
"asv","28","6","9","And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness."
"asv","28","6","10","In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there whoredom is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled."
"asv","28","6","11","Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee, when I bring back the captivity of my people."
"asv","28","7","1","When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without."
"asv","28","7","2","And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face."
"asv","28","7","3","They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies."
"asv","28","7","4","They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir  the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened."
"asv","28","7","5","On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers."
"asv","28","7","6","For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire."
"asv","28","7","7","They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me."
"asv","28","7","8","Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned."
"asv","28","7","9","Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth  it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth  it  not."
"asv","28","7","10","And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto Jehovah their God, nor sought him, for all this."
"asv","28","7","11","And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria."
"asv","28","7","12","When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard."
"asv","28","7","13","Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me."
"asv","28","7","14","And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me."
"asv","28","7","15","Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me."
"asv","28","7","16","They return, but not to  him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt."
"asv","28","8","1"," Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle  he cometh  against the house of Jehovah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law."
"asv","28","8","2","They shall cry unto me, My God, we Israel know thee."
"asv","28","8","3","Israel hath cast off that which is good: the enemy shall pursue him."
"asv","28","8","4","They have set up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off."
"asv","28","8","5","He hath cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?"
"asv","28","8","6","For from Israel is even this; the workman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces."
"asv","28","8","7","For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: he hath no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up."
"asv","28","8","8","Israel is swallowed up: now are they among the nations as a vessel wherein none delighteth."
"asv","28","8","9","For they are gone up to Assyria,  like a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers."
"asv","28","8","10","Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them; and they begin to be diminished by reason of the burden of the king of princes."
"asv","28","8","11","Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars for sinning, altars have been unto him for sinning."
"asv","28","8","12","I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing."
"asv","28","8","13","As for the sacrifices of mine offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but Jehovah accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall return to Egypt."
"asv","28","8","14","For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces; and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof."
"asv","28","9","1","Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast played the harlot,  departing from thy God; thou hast loved hire upon every grain-floor."
"asv","28","9","2","The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her."
"asv","28","9","3","They shall not dwell in Jehovah’s land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria."
"asv","28","9","4","They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Jehovah, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah."
"asv","28","9","5","What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?"
"asv","28","9","6","For, lo, they are gone away from destruction;  yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents."
"asv","28","9","7","The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man that hath the spirit is mad, for the abundance of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great."
"asv","28","9","8","Ephraim  was a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler’s snare is in all his ways,  and enmity in the house of his God."
"asv","28","9","9","They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins."
"asv","28","9","10","I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved."
"asv","28","9","11","As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception."
"asv","28","9","12","Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!"
"asv","28","9","13","Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer."
"asv","28","9","14","Give them, O Jehovah-what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts."
"asv","28","9","15","All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters."
"asv","28","9","16","Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb."
"asv","28","9","17","My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations."
"asv","28","10","1","Israel is a luxuriant vine, that putteth forth his fruit: according to the abundance of his fruit he hath multiplied his altars; according to the goodness of their land they have made goodly pillars."
"asv","28","10","2","Their heart is divided; now shall they be found guilty: he will smite their altars, he will destroy their pillars."
"asv","28","10","3","Surely now shall they say, We have no king; for we fear not Jehovah; and the king, what can he do for us?"
"asv","28","10","4","They speak  vain words, swearing falsely in making covenants: therefore judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field."
"asv","28","10","5","The inhabitants of Samaria shall be in terror for the calves of Beth-aven; for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced over it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it."
"asv","28","10","6","It also shall be carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel."
"asv","28","10","7"," As for Samaria, her king is cut off, as foam upon the water."
"asv","28","10","8","The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us."
"asv","28","10","9","O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood; the battle against the children of iniquity doth not overtake them in Gibeah."
"asv","28","10","10","When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions."
"asv","28","10","11","And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out the grain; but I have passed over upon her fair neck: I will set a rider on Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Jacob shall break his clods."
"asv","28","10","12","Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Jehovah, till he come and rain righteousness upon you."
"asv","28","10","13","Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; for thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men."
"asv","28","10","14","Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces with her children."
"asv","28","10","15","So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: at daybreak shall the king of Israel be utterly cut off."
"asv","28","11","1","When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."
"asv","28","11","2","The more  the prophets called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images."
"asv","28","11","3","Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; I took them on my arms; but they knew not that I healed them."
"asv","28","11","4","I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them."
"asv","28","11","5","They shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return  to me."
"asv","28","11","6","And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour  them, because of their own counsels."
"asv","28","11","7","And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to him that is on high, none at all will exalt  him."
"asv","28","11","8","How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?  how shall I cast thee off, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah?  how shall I set thee as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together."
"asv","28","11","9","I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in wrath."
"asv","28","11","10","They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west."
"asv","28","11","11","They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah."
"asv","28","11","12","Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One."
"asv","28","12","1","Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt."
"asv","28","12","2","Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him."
"asv","28","12","3","In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:"
"asv","28","12","4","yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us,"
"asv","28","12","5","even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial  name."
"asv","28","12","6","Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually."
"asv","28","12","7"," He is a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress."
"asv","28","12","8","And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin."
"asv","28","12","9","But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast."
"asv","28","12","10","I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes."
"asv","28","12","11","Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether false; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field."
"asv","28","12","12","And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept  sheep."
"asv","28","12","13","And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved."
"asv","28","12","14","Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him."
"asv","28","13","1","When Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died."
"asv","28","13","2","And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves."
"asv","28","13","3","Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that passeth early away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney."
"asv","28","13","4","Yet I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou shalt know no god but me, and besides me there is no saviour."
"asv","28","13","5","I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought."
"asv","28","13","6","According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted: therefore have they forgotten me."
"asv","28","13","7","Therefore am I unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;"
"asv","28","13","8","I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them."
"asv","28","13","9","It is thy destruction, O Israel, that  thou art against me, against thy help."
"asv","28","13","10","Where now is thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?"
"asv","28","13","11","I have given thee a king in mine anger, and have taken him away in my wrath."
"asv","28","13","12","The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store."
"asv","28","13","13","The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children."
"asv","28","13","14","I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from death: O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy destruction? repentance shall be hid from mine eyes."
"asv","28","13","15","Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels."
"asv","28","13","16","Samaria shall bear her guilt; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."
"asv","28","14","1","O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity."
"asv","28","14","2","Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render  as bullocks  the offering of our lips."
"asv","28","14","3","Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands,  Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy."
"asv","28","14","4","I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him."
"asv","28","14","5","I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon."
"asv","28","14","6","His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon."
"asv","28","14","7","They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon."
"asv","28","14","8","Ephraim  shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found."
"asv","28","14","9","Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein."
"asv","29","1","1","The word of Jehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel."
"asv","29","1","2","Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?"
"asv","29","1","3","Tell ye your children of it, and  let your children  tell  their children, and their children another generation."
"asv","29","1","4","That which the palmer-worm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the canker-worm eaten; and that which the canker-worm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten."
"asv","29","1","5","Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth."
"asv","29","1","6","For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw-teeth of a lioness."
"asv","29","1","7","He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig-tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white."
"asv","29","1","8","Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth."
"asv","29","1","9","The meal-offering and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah’s ministers, mourn."
"asv","29","1","10","The field is laid waste, the land mourneth; for the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth."
"asv","29","1","11","Be confounded, O ye husbandmen, wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field is perished."
"asv","29","1","12","The vine is withered, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field are withered: for joy is withered away from the sons of men."
"asv","29","1","13","Gird yourselves  with sackcloth, and lament, ye priests; wail, ye ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meal-offering and the drink-offering are withholden from the house of your God."
"asv","29","1","14","Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the old men  and  all the inhabitants of the land unto the house of Jehovah your God, and cry unto Jehovah."
"asv","29","1","15","Alas for the day! for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come."
"asv","29","1","16","Is not the food cut off before our eyes,  yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?"
"asv","29","1","17","The seeds rot under their clods; the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the grain is withered."
"asv","29","1","18","How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate."
"asv","29","1","19","O Jehovah, to thee do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field."
"asv","29","1","20","Yea, the beasts of the field pant unto thee; for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness."
"asv","29","2","1","Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand;"
"asv","29","2","2","a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations."
"asv","29","2","3","A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them."
"asv","29","2","4","The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run."
"asv","29","2","5","Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array."
"asv","29","2","6","At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale."
"asv","29","2","7","They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks."
"asv","29","2","8","Neither doth one thrust another; they march every one in his path; and they burst through the weapons, and break not off  their course."
"asv","29","2","9","They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief."
"asv","29","2","10","The earth quaketh before them; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining."
"asv","29","2","11","And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for he is strong that executeth his word; for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?"
"asv","29","2","12","Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:"
"asv","29","2","13","and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repenteth him of the evil."
"asv","29","2","14","Who knoweth whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto Jehovah your God?"
"asv","29","2","15","Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly;"
"asv","29","2","16","gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet."
"asv","29","2","17","Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Jehovah, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?"
"asv","29","2","18","Then was Jehovah jealous for his land, and had pity on his people."
"asv","29","2","19","And Jehovah answered and said unto his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;"
"asv","29","2","20","but I will remove far off from you the northern  army, and will drive it into a land barren and desolate, its forepart into the eastern sea, and its hinder part into the western sea; and its stench shall come up, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things."
"asv","29","2","21","Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for Jehovah hath done great things."
"asv","29","2","22","Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength."
"asv","29","2","23","Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first  month."
"asv","29","2","24","And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil."
"asv","29","2","25","And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you."
"asv","29","2","26","And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame."
"asv","29","2","27","And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame."
"asv","29","2","28","And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:"
"asv","29","2","29","and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit."
"asv","29","2","30","And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke."
"asv","29","2","31","The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh."
"asv","29","2","32","And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call."
"asv","29","3","1","For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,"
"asv","29","3","2","I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted my land,"
"asv","29","3","3","and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink."
"asv","29","3","4","Yea, and what are ye to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head."
"asv","29","3","5","Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly precious things,"
"asv","29","3","6","and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem unto the sons of the Grecians, that ye may remove them far from their border;"
"asv","29","3","7","behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head;"
"asv","29","3","8","and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","29","3","9","Proclaim ye this among the nations; prepare war; stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up."
"asv","29","3","10","Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong."
"asv","29","3","11","Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah."
"asv","29","3","12","Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about."
"asv","29","3","13","Put ye in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread ye; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great."
"asv","29","3","14","Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision."
"asv","29","3","15","The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining."
"asv","29","3","16","And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge unto his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel."
"asv","29","3","17","So shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more."
"asv","29","3","18","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim."
"asv","29","3","19","Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land."
"asv","29","3","20","But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation."
"asv","29","3","21","And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion."
"asv","30","1","1","The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake."
"asv","30","1","2","And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither."
"asv","30","1","3","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:"
"asv","30","1","4","but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad."
"asv","30","1","5","And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","1","6","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom:"
"asv","30","1","7","but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof."
"asv","30","1","8","And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","30","1","9","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole people to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:"
"asv","30","1","10","but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof."
"asv","30","1","11","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:"
"asv","30","1","12","but I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah."
"asv","30","1","13","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border."
"asv","30","1","14","But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;"
"asv","30","1","15","and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","2","1","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:"
"asv","30","2","2","but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;"
"asv","30","2","3","and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","2","4","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers did walk:"
"asv","30","2","5","but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
"asv","30","2","6","Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes—"
"asv","30","2","7","they that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father go unto the same maiden, to profane my holy name:"
"asv","30","2","8","and they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined."
"asv","30","2","9","Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath."
"asv","30","2","10","Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite."
"asv","30","2","11","And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","2","12","But ye gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not."
"asv","30","2","13","Behold, I will press  you in your place, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves."
"asv","30","2","14","And flight shall perish from the swift; and the strong shall not strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;"
"asv","30","2","15","neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver  himself; neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself;"
"asv","30","2","16","and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","3","1","Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,"
"asv","30","3","2","You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities."
"asv","30","3","3","Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?"
"asv","30","3","4","Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?"
"asv","30","3","5","Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is  set  for him? shall a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?"
"asv","30","3","6","Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it?"
"asv","30","3","7","Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets."
"asv","30","3","8","The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah hath spoken; who can but prophesy?"
"asv","30","3","9","Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof."
"asv","30","3","10","For they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces."
"asv","30","3","11","Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An adversary  there shall be, even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be plundered."
"asv","30","3","12","Thus saith Jehovah: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued that sit in Samaria in the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."
"asv","30","3","13","Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts."
"asv","30","3","14","For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el; and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground."
"asv","30","3","15","And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","1","Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say unto their lords, Bring, and let us drink."
"asv","30","4","2","The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that they shall take you away with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks."
"asv","30","4","3","And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one straight before her; and ye shall cast  yourselves into Harmon, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","4","Come to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal,  and multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning,  and your tithes every three days;"
"asv","30","4","5","and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","6","And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","7","And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered."
"asv","30","4","8","So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","9","I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees hath the palmer-worm devoured: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","10","I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","11","I have overthrown  cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","4","12","Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel;  and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel."
"asv","30","4","13","For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought; that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the Earth— Jehovah, the God of hosts, is his name."
"asv","30","5","1","Hear ye this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel."
"asv","30","5","2","The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is cast down upon her land; there is none to raise her up."
"asv","30","5","3","For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left, to the house of Israel."
"asv","30","5","4","For thus saith Jehovah unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live;"
"asv","30","5","5","but seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought."
"asv","30","5","6","Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el."
"asv","30","5","7","Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth,"
"asv","30","5","8"," seek him that maketh the Pleiades and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name);"
"asv","30","5","9","that bringeth sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress."
"asv","30","5","10","They hate him that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly."
"asv","30","5","11","Forasmuch therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine thereof."
"asv","30","5","12","For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the gate  from their right."
"asv","30","5","13","Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evil time."
"asv","30","5","14","Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say."
"asv","30","5","15","Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph."
"asv","30","5","16","Therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in all the streets, Alas! Alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailing."
"asv","30","5","17","And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","5","18","Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light."
"asv","30","5","19","As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him."
"asv","30","5","20","Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?"
"asv","30","5","21","I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies."
"asv","30","5","22","Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts."
"asv","30","5","23","Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols."
"asv","30","5","24","But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."
"asv","30","5","25","Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?"
"asv","30","5","26","Yea, ye have borne the tabernacle of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves."
"asv","30","5","27","Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts."
"asv","30","6","1","Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and to them that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!"
"asv","30","6","2","Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?"
"asv","30","6","3","—ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;"
"asv","30","6","4","that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;"
"asv","30","6","5","that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, like David;"
"asv","30","6","6","that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph."
"asv","30","6","7","Therefore shall they now go captive with the first that go captive; and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away."
"asv","30","6","8","The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts: I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein."
"asv","30","6","9","And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die."
"asv","30","6","10","And when a man’s uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy peace; for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah."
"asv","30","6","11","For, behold, Jehovah commandeth, and the great house shall be smitten with breaches, and the little house with clefts."
"asv","30","6","12","Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow  there with oxen? that ye have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood;"
"asv","30","6","13","ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?"
"asv","30","6","14","For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of the Arabah."
"asv","30","7","1","Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings."
"asv","30","7","2","And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small."
"asv","30","7","3","Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","7","4","Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, the Lord Jehovah called to content by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land."
"asv","30","7","5","Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small."
"asv","30","7","6","Jehovah repented concerning this: this also shall not be, saith the Lord Jehovah."
"asv","30","7","7","Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand."
"asv","30","7","8","And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more;"
"asv","30","7","9","and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
"asv","30","7","10","Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words."
"asv","30","7","11","For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land."
"asv","30","7","12","Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:"
"asv","30","7","13","but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house."
"asv","30","7","14","Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was a herdsman, and a dresser of sycomore-trees:"
"asv","30","7","15","and Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel."
"asv","30","7","16","Now therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not  thy word against the house of Isaac;"
"asv","30","7","17","therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land."
"asv","30","8","1","Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, a basket of summer fruit."
"asv","30","8","2","And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Jehovah unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more."
"asv","30","8","3","And the songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah: the dead bodies shall be many: in every place shall they cast them forth with silence."
"asv","30","8","4","Hear this, O ye that would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,"
"asv","30","8","5","saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;"
"asv","30","8","6","that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?"
"asv","30","8","7","Jehovah hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works."
"asv","30","8","8","Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River; and it shall be troubled and sink again, like the River of Egypt."
"asv","30","8","9","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day."
"asv","30","8","10","And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day."
"asv","30","8","11","Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Jehovah."
"asv","30","8","12","And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and shall not find it."
"asv","30","8","13","In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst."
"asv","30","8","14","They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth; they shall fall, and never rise up again."
"asv","30","9","1","I saw the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the capitals, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape."
"asv","30","9","2","Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down."
"asv","30","9","3","And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them."
"asv","30","9","4","And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good."
"asv","30","9","5","For the Lord, Jehovah of hosts,  is he that toucheth the land and it melteth, and all that dwell therein shall mourn; and it shall rise up wholly like the River, and shall sink again, like the River of Egypt;"
"asv","30","9","6"," it is he that buildeth his chambers in the heavens, and hath founded his vault upon the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth; Jehovah is his name."
"asv","30","9","7","Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith Jehovah. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?"
"asv","30","9","8","Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; save that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith Jehovah."
"asv","30","9","9","For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as  grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth."
"asv","30","9","10","All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us."
"asv","30","9","11","In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;"
"asv","30","9","12","that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations that are called by my name, saith Jehovah that doeth this."
"asv","30","9","13","Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt."
"asv","30","9","14","And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them."
"asv","30","9","15","And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith Jehovah thy God."
"asv","31","1","1","The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle."
"asv","31","1","2","Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised."
"asv","31","1","3","The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?"
"asv","31","1","4","Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah."
"asv","31","1","5","If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal  only till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?"
"asv","31","1","6","How are  the things of Esau searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out!"
"asv","31","1","7","All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee;  they that eat thy bread lay a snare under thee: there is no understanding in him."
"asv","31","1","8","Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?"
"asv","31","1","9","And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter."
"asv","31","1","10","For the violence done to thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever."
"asv","31","1","11","In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them."
"asv","31","1","12","But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress."
"asv","31","1","13","Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity."
"asv","31","1","14","And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress."
"asv","31","1","15","For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head."
"asv","31","1","16","For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been."
"asv","31","1","17","But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions."
"asv","31","1","18","And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall burn among them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for Jehovah hath spoken it."
"asv","31","1","19","And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and they of the lowland the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin  shall possess Gilead."
"asv","31","1","20","And the captives of this host of the children of Israel, that are among the Canaanites,  shall possess even unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, that are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South."
"asv","31","1","21","And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Jehovah’s."
"asv","32","1","1","Now the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,"
"asv","32","1","2","Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me."
"asv","32","1","3","But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah."
"asv","32","1","4","But Jehovah sent out a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken."
"asv","32","1","5","Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep."
"asv","32","1","6","So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not."
"asv","32","1","7","And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah."
"asv","32","1","8","Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?"
"asv","32","1","9","And he said unto them, I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who hath made the sea and the dry land."
"asv","32","1","10","Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, What is this that thou hast done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Jehovah, because he had told them."
"asv","32","1","11","Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea grew more and more tempestuous."
"asv","32","1","12","And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you."
"asv","32","1","13","Nevertheless the men rowed hard to get them back to the land; but they could not: for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them."
"asv","32","1","14","Wherefore they cried unto Jehovah, and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood; for thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee."
"asv","32","1","15","So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging."
"asv","32","1","16","Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly; and they offered a sacrifice unto Jehovah, and made vows."
"asv","32","1","17","And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah; and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights."
"asv","32","2","1","Then Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish’s belly."
"asv","32","2","2","And he said, I called by reason of mine affliction unto Jehovah, And he answered me; Out of the belly of Sheol cried I,  And thou heardest my voice."
"asv","32","2","3","For thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, And the flood was round about me; All thy waves and thy billows passed over me."
"asv","32","2","4","And I said, I am cast out from before thine eyes; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple."
"asv","32","2","5","The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; The deep was round about me; The weeds were wrapped about my head."
"asv","32","2","6","I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed upon me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God."
"asv","32","2","7","When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; And my prayer came in unto thee, into thy holy temple."
"asv","32","2","8","They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy."
"asv","32","2","9","But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation is of Jehovah."
"asv","32","2","10","And Jehovah spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land."
"asv","32","3","1","And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,"
"asv","32","3","2","Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee."
"asv","32","3","3","So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days’ journey."
"asv","32","3","4","And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown."
"asv","32","3","5","And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them."
"asv","32","3","6","And the tidings reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes."
"asv","32","3","7","And he made proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;"
"asv","32","3","8","but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and beast, and let them cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands."
"asv","32","3","9","Who knoweth whether God will not turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?"
"asv","32","3","10","And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil which he said he would do unto them; and he did it not."
"asv","32","4","1","But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry."
"asv","32","4","2","And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, I pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I hasted to flee unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repentest thee of the evil."
"asv","32","4","3","Therefore now, O Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live."
"asv","32","4","4","And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry?"
"asv","32","4","5","Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city."
"asv","32","4","6","And Jehovah God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his evil case. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd."
"asv","32","4","7","But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered."
"asv","32","4","8","And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live."
"asv","32","4","9","And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death."
"asv","32","4","10","And Jehovah said, Thou hast had regard for the gourd, for which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:"
"asv","32","4","11","and should not I have regard for Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?"
"asv","33","1","1","The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem."
"asv","33","1","2","Hear, ye peoples, all of you: hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple."
"asv","33","1","3","For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth."
"asv","33","1","4","And the mountains shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters that are poured down a steep place."
"asv","33","1","5","For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?"
"asv","33","1","6","Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field,  and  as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations thereof."
"asv","33","1","7","And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered them, and unto the hire of a harlot shall they return."
"asv","33","1","8","For this will I lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches."
"asv","33","1","9","For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah; it reacheth unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem."
"asv","33","1","10","Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all: at Beth-le-aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust."
"asv","33","1","11","Pass away, O inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame: the inhabitant of Zaanan is not come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay thereof."
"asv","33","1","12","For the inhabitant of Maroth waiteth anxiously for good, because evil is come down from Jehovah unto the gate of Jerusalem."
"asv","33","1","13","Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitant of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee."
"asv","33","1","14","Therefore shalt thou give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing unto the kings of Israel."
"asv","33","1","15","I will yet bring unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah, him that shall possess thee: the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam."
"asv","33","1","16","Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair for the children of thy delight: enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee."
"asv","33","2","1","Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand."
"asv","33","2","2","And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage."
"asv","33","2","3","Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time."
"asv","33","2","4","In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation,  and say, We are utterly ruined: he changeth the portion of my people: how doth he remove  it from me! to the rebellious he divideth our fields."
"asv","33","2","5","Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the assembly of Jehovah."
"asv","33","2","6","Prophesy ye not,  thus they prophesy. They shall not prophesy to these: reproaches shall not depart."
"asv","33","2","7","Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, Is the Spirit of Jehovah straitened? are these his doings? Do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?"
"asv","33","2","8","But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely  as men averse from war."
"asv","33","2","9","The women of my people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away my glory for ever."
"asv","33","2","10","Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of uncleanness that destroyeth, even with a grievous destruction."
"asv","33","2","11","If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood do lie,  saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people."
"asv","33","2","12","I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men."
"asv","33","2","13","The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Jehovah at the head of them."
"asv","33","3","1","And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?"
"asv","33","3","2","ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;"
"asv","33","3","3","who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron."
"asv","33","3","4","Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings."
"asv","33","3","5","Thus saith Jehovah concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him:"
"asv","33","3","6","Therefore it shall be night unto you, that ye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them."
"asv","33","3","7","And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God."
"asv","33","3","8","But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin."
"asv","33","3","9","Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, that abhor justice, and pervert all equity."
"asv","33","3","10","They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity."
"asv","33","3","11","The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet they lean upon Jehovah, and say, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us."
"asv","33","3","12","Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."
"asv","33","4","1","But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of Jehovah’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it."
"asv","33","4","2","And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem;"
"asv","33","4","3","and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
"asv","33","4","4","But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it."
"asv","33","4","5","For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever."
"asv","33","4","6","In that day, saith Jehovah, will I assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;"
"asv","33","4","7","and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Jehovah will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever."
"asv","33","4","8","And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem."
"asv","33","4","9","Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?"
"asv","33","4","10","Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon: there shalt thou be rescued; there will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies."
"asv","33","4","11","And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see  our desire upon Zion."
"asv","33","4","12","But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor."
"asv","33","4","13","Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth."
"asv","33","5","1","Now shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us; they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek."
"asv","33","5","2","But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting."
"asv","33","5","3","Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel."
"asv","33","5","4","And he shall stand, and shall feed  his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God: and they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth."
"asv","33","5","5","And this  man shall be  our peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men."
"asv","33","5","6","And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border."
"asv","33","5","7","And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Jehovah, as showers upon the grass, that tarry not for man, nor wait for the sons of men."
"asv","33","5","8","And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he go through, treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and there is none to deliver."
"asv","33","5","9","Let thy hand be lifted up above thine adversaries, and let all thine enemies be cut off."
"asv","33","5","10","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and will destroy thy chariots:"
"asv","33","5","11","and I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down all thy strongholds."
"asv","33","5","12","And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:"
"asv","33","5","13","and I will cut off thy graven images and thy pillars out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thy hands;"
"asv","33","5","14","and I will pluck up thine Asherim out of the midst of thee; and I will destroy thy cities."
"asv","33","5","15","And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations which hearkened not."
"asv","33","6","1","Hear ye now what Jehovah saith: Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice."
"asv","33","6","2","Hear, O ye mountains, Jehovah’s controversy, and ye enduring foundations of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel."
"asv","33","6","3","O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me."
"asv","33","6","4","For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam."
"asv","33","6","5","O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him;  remember from Shittim unto Gilgal, that ye may know the righteous acts of Jehovah."
"asv","33","6","6","Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves a year old?"
"asv","33","6","7","will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams,  or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
"asv","33","6","8","He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
"asv","33","6","9","The voice of Jehovah crieth unto the city, and  the man of  wisdom will see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it."
"asv","33","6","10","Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure that is abominable?"
"asv","33","6","11","Shall I be pure with wicked balances, and with a bag of deceitful weights?"
"asv","33","6","12","For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth."
"asv","33","6","13","Therefore I also have smitten thee with a grievous wound; I have made thee desolate because of thy sins."
"asv","33","6","14","Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy humiliation shall be in the midst of thee: and thou shalt put away, but shalt not save; and that which thou savest will I give up to the sword."
"asv","33","6","15","Thou shalt sow, but shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but shalt not anoint thee with oil; and the vintage, but shalt not drink the wine."
"asv","33","6","16","For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I may make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing: and ye shall bear the reproach of my people."
"asv","33","7","1","Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat; my soul desireth the first-ripe fig."
"asv","33","7","2","The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net."
"asv","33","7","3","Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge  is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together."
"asv","33","7","4","The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is  worse  than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity."
"asv","33","7","5","Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom."
"asv","33","7","6","For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house."
"asv","33","7","7","But as for me, I will look unto Jehovah; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me."
"asv","33","7","8","Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light unto me."
"asv","33","7","9","I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light,  and I shall behold his righteousness."
"asv","33","7","10","Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her who said unto me, Where is Jehovah thy God? Mine eyes shall see  my desire upon her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets."
"asv","33","7","11","A day for building thy walls! in that day shall the decree be far removed."
"asv","33","7","12","In that day shall they come unto thee from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and  from  mountain to mountain."
"asv","33","7","13","Yet shall the land be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings."
"asv","33","7","14","Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell solitarily, in the forest in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old."
"asv","33","7","15","As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto them marvellous things."
"asv","33","7","16","The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth; their ears shall be deaf."
"asv","33","7","17","They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto Jehovah our God, and shall be afraid because of thee."
"asv","33","7","18","Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in lovingkindness."
"asv","33","7","19","He will again have compassion upon us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."
"asv","33","7","20","Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob,  and the lovingkindness to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old."
"asv","34","1","1","The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite."
"asv","34","1","2","Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies."
"asv","34","1","3","Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet."
"asv","34","1","4","He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth."
"asv","34","1","5","The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein."
"asv","34","1","6","Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him."
"asv","34","1","7","Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him."
"asv","34","1","8","But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness."
"asv","34","1","9","What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time."
"asv","34","1","10","For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble."
"asv","34","1","11","There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness."
"asv","34","1","12","Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more."
"asv","34","1","13","And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder."
"asv","34","1","14","And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art vile."
"asv","34","1","15","Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off."
"asv","34","2","1","He that dasheth in pieces is come up against thee: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily."
"asv","34","2","2","For Jehovah restoreth the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and destroyed their vine-branches."
"asv","34","2","3","The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress spears are brandished."
"asv","34","2","4","The chariots rage in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches; they run like the lightnings."
"asv","34","2","5","He remembereth his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared."
"asv","34","2","6","The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved."
"asv","34","2","7","And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts."
"asv","34","2","8","But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand,  they cry; but none looketh back."
"asv","34","2","9","Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture."
"asv","34","2","10","She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all are waxed pale."
"asv","34","2","11","Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion  and the lioness walked, the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?"
"asv","34","2","12","The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin."
"asv","34","2","13","Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions; and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard."
"asv","34","3","1","Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and rapine; the prey departeth not."
"asv","34","3","2","The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and prancing horses, and bounding chariots,"
"asv","34","3","3","the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies; they stumble upon their bodies;—"
"asv","34","3","4","because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts."
"asv","34","3","5","Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover thy skirts upon thy face; and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame."
"asv","34","3","6","And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock."
"asv","34","3","7","And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?"
"asv","34","3","8","Art thou better than No-amon, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea,  and her wall was of the sea?"
"asv","34","3","9","Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers."
"asv","34","3","10","Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity; her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains."
"asv","34","3","11","Thou also shalt be drunken; thou shalt be hid; thou also shalt seek a stronghold because of the enemy."
"asv","34","3","12","All thy fortresses shall be  like fig-trees with the first-ripe figs: if they be shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater."
"asv","34","3","13","Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women; the gates of thy land are set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire hath devoured thy bars."
"asv","34","3","14","Draw thee water for the siege; strengthen thy fortresses; go into the clay, and tread the mortar; make strong the brickkiln."
"asv","34","3","15","There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off; it shall devour thee like the canker-worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm; make thyself many as the locust."
"asv","34","3","16","Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm ravageth, and fleeth away."
"asv","34","3","17","Thy princes are as the locusts, and thy marshals as the swarms of grasshoppers, which encamp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are."
"asv","34","3","18","Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; thy nobles are at rest; thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them."
"asv","34","3","19","There is no assuaging of thy hurt: thy wound is grievous: all that hear the report of thee clap their hands over thee; for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?"
"asv","35","1","1","The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see."
"asv","35","1","2","O Jehovah, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save."
"asv","35","1","3","Why dost thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? for destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up."
"asv","35","1","4","Therefore the law is slacked, and justice doth never go forth; for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore justice goeth forth perverted."
"asv","35","1","5","Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously; for I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you."
"asv","35","1","6","For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs."
"asv","35","1","7","They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves."
"asv","35","1","8","Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that hasteth to devour."
"asv","35","1","9","They come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is forwards; and they gather captives as the sand."
"asv","35","1","10","Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a derision unto him; he derideth every stronghold; for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it."
"asv","35","1","11","Then shall he sweep by  as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty,  even he whose might is his god."
"asv","35","1","12","Art not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast established him for correction."
"asv","35","1","13","Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;"
"asv","35","1","14","and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?"
"asv","35","1","15","He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad."
"asv","35","1","16","Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his food plenteous."
"asv","35","1","17","Shall he therefore empty his net, and spare not to slay the nations continually?"
"asv","35","2","1","I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint."
"asv","35","2","2","And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it."
"asv","35","2","3","For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay."
"asv","35","2","4","Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith."
"asv","35","2","5","Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples."
"asv","35","2","6","Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges!"
"asv","35","2","7","Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booty unto them?"
"asv","35","2","8","Because thou hast plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee, because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein."
"asv","35","2","9","Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!"
"asv","35","2","10","Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul."
"asv","35","2","11","For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it."
"asv","35","2","12","Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!"
"asv","35","2","13","Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?"
"asv","35","2","14","For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea."
"asv","35","2","15","Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink,  to thee that addest thy venom, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!"
"asv","35","2","16","Thou art filled with shame, and not glory: drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised; the cup of Jehovah’s right hand shall come round unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory."
"asv","35","2","17","For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein."
"asv","35","2","18","What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he that fashioneth its form trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?"
"asv","35","2","19","Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it."
"asv","35","2","20","But Jehovah is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him."
"asv","35","3","1","A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth."
"asv","35","3","2","O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid:O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years;In the midst of the years make it known;In wrath remember mercy."
"asv","35","3","3","God came from Teman,And the Holy One from mount Paran.His glory covered the heavens,And the earth was full of his praise."
"asv","35","3","4","And  his brightness was as the light;He had rays  coming forth from his hand;And there was the hiding of his power."
"asv","35","3","5","Before him went the pestilence,And fiery bolts went forth at his feet."
"asv","35","3","6","He stood, and measured the earth;He beheld, and drove asunder the nations;And the eternal mountains were scattered;The everlasting hills did bow;His goings were  as of old."
"asv","35","3","7","I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble."
"asv","35","3","8","Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers?Was thine anger against the rivers,Or thy wrath against the sea,That thou didst ride upon thy horses,Upon thy chariots of salvation?"
"asv","35","3","9","Thy bow was made quite bare;The oaths to the tribes were a  sure word.Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers."
"asv","35","3","10","The mountains saw thee, and were afraid;The tempest of waters passed by;The deep uttered its voice,And lifted up its hands on high."
"asv","35","3","11","The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,At the light of thine arrows as they went,At the shining of thy glittering spear."
"asv","35","3","12","Thou didst march though the land in indignation;Thou didst thresh the nations in anger."
"asv","35","3","13","Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,For the salvation of thine anointed;Thou woundest the head out of the house of the wicked man,Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck."
"asv","35","3","14","Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors:They came as a whirlwind to scatter me;Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly."
"asv","35","3","15","Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses,The heap of mighty waters."
"asv","35","3","16","I heard, and my body trembled,My lips quivered at the voice;Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place;Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble,For the coming up of the people that invadeth us."
"asv","35","3","17","For though the fig-tree shall not flourish,Neither shall fruit be in the vines;The labor of the olive shall fail,And the fields shall yield no food;The flock shall be cut off from the fold,And there shall be no herd in the stalls:"
"asv","35","3","18","Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah,I will joy in the God of my salvation."
"asv","35","3","19","Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength;And he maketh my feet like hinds’  feet,And will make me to walk upon my high places."
"asv","36","1","1","The word of Jehovah which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah."
"asv","36","1","2","I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah."
"asv","36","1","3","I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah."
"asv","36","1","4","And I will stretch out my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarim with the priests;"
"asv","36","1","5","and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to Jehovah and swear by Malcam;"
"asv","36","1","6","and them that are turned back from following Jehovah; and those that have not sought Jehovah, nor inquired after him."
"asv","36","1","7","Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is at hand: for Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath consecrated his guests."
"asv","36","1","8","And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel."
"asv","36","1","9","And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, that fill their master’s house with violence and deceit."
"asv","36","1","10","And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills."
"asv","36","1","11","Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off."
"asv","36","1","12","And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil."
"asv","36","1","13","And their wealth shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: yea, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof."
"asv","36","1","14","The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of Jehovah; the mighty man crieth there bitterly."
"asv","36","1","15","That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"
"asv","36","1","16","a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements."
"asv","36","1","17","And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Jehovah; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung."
"asv","36","1","18","Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land."
"asv","36","2","1","Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no shame;"
"asv","36","2","2","before the decree bring forth,  before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah’s anger come upon you."
"asv","36","2","3","Seek ye Jehovah, all ye meek of the earth, that have kept his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye will be hid in the day of Jehovah’s anger."
"asv","36","2","4","For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up."
"asv","36","2","5","Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant."
"asv","36","2","6","And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks."
"asv","36","2","7","And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed  their flocks thereupon; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for Jehovah their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity."
"asv","36","2","8","I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border."
"asv","36","2","9","Therefore as I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall make a prey of them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them."
"asv","36","2","10","This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","36","2","11","Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the nations."
"asv","36","2","12","Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword."
"asv","36","2","13","And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness."
"asv","36","2","14","And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the capitals thereof;  their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he hath laid bare the cedar-work."
"asv","36","2","15","This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand."
"asv","36","3","1","Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city!"
"asv","36","3","2","She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God."
"asv","36","3","3","Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow."
"asv","36","3","4","Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law."
"asv","36","3","5","Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame."
"asv","36","3","6","I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant."
"asv","36","3","7","I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off,  according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings."
"asv","36","3","8","Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy."
"asv","36","3","9","For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent."
"asv","36","3","10","From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering."
"asv","36","3","11","In that day shalt thou not be put to shame for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain."
"asv","36","3","12","But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Jehovah."
"asv","36","3","13","The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
"asv","36","3","14","Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem."
"asv","36","3","15","Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not fear evil any more."
"asv","36","3","16","In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack."
"asv","36","3","17","Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing."
"asv","36","3","18","I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee;  to whom the burden upon her was a reproach."
"asv","36","3","19","Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth."
"asv","36","3","20","At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah."
"asv","37","1","1","In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,"
"asv","37","1","2","Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time  for us to come, the time for Jehovah’s house to be built."
"asv","37","1","3","Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
"asv","37","1","4","Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste?"
"asv","37","1","5","Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways."
"asv","37","1","6","Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages  to put it into a bag with holes."
"asv","37","1","7","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways."
"asv","37","1","8","Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah."
"asv","37","1","9","Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house."
"asv","37","1","10","Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit."
"asv","37","1","11","And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands."
"asv","37","1","12","Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people did fear before Jehovah."
"asv","37","1","13","Then spake Haggai Jehovah’s messenger in Jehovah’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah."
"asv","37","1","14","And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work on the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,"
"asv","37","1","15","in the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth  month, in the second year of Darius the king."
"asv","37","2","1","In the seventh  month, in the one and twentieth  day  of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
"asv","37","2","2","Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,"
"asv","37","2","3","Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?"
"asv","37","2","4","Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts,"
"asv","37","2","5"," according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not."
"asv","37","2","6","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;"
"asv","37","2","7","and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","37","2","8","The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","37","2","9","The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","37","2","10","In the four and twentieth  day of the ninth  month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,"
"asv","37","2","11","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,"
"asv","37","2","12","If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No."
"asv","37","2","13","Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean."
"asv","37","2","14","Then answered Haggai and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith Jehovah; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean."
"asv","37","2","15","And now, I pray you, consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah."
"asv","37","2","16","Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty  measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty."
"asv","37","2","17","I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands; yet ye  turned not to me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","37","2","18","Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth  month, since the day that the foundation of Jehovah’s temple was laid, consider it."
"asv","37","2","19","Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree have not brought forth; from this day will I bless  you."
"asv","37","2","20","And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth  day of the month, saying,"
"asv","37","2","21","Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;"
"asv","37","2","22","and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother."
"asv","37","2","23","In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","38","1","1","In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,"
"asv","38","1","2","Jehovah was sore displeased with your fathers."
"asv","38","1","3","Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Return unto me, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","38","1","4","Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith Jehovah."
"asv","38","1","5","Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?"
"asv","38","1","6","But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us."
"asv","38","1","7","Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,"
"asv","38","1","8","I saw in the night, and, behold, a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and behind him there were horses, red, sorrel, and white."
"asv","38","1","9","Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these are."
"asv","38","1","10","And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth."
"asv","38","1","11","And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest."
"asv","38","1","12","Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?"
"asv","38","1","13","And Jehovah answered the angel that talked with me with good words, even comfortable words."
"asv","38","1","14","So the angel that talked with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy."
"asv","38","1","15","And I am very sore displeased with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction."
"asv","38","1","16","Therefore thus saith Jehovah: I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies; my house shall be built in it, saith Jehovah of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth over Jerusalem."
"asv","38","1","17","Cry yet again, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: My cities shall yet overflow with prosperity; and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem."
"asv","38","1","18","And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, four horns."
"asv","38","1","19","And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."
"asv","38","1","20","And Jehovah showed me four smiths."
"asv","38","1","21","Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head; but these are come to terrify them, to cast down the horns of the nations, which lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it."
"asv","38","2","1","And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand."
"asv","38","2","2","Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof."
"asv","38","2","3","And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,"
"asv","38","2","4","and said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein."
"asv","38","2","5","For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her."
"asv","38","2","6","Ho, ho, flee from the land of the north, saith Jehovah; for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, saith Jehovah."
"asv","38","2","7","Ho Zion, escape, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon."
"asv","38","2","8","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After glory hath he sent me unto the nations which plundered you; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye."
"asv","38","2","9","For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those that served them; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me."
"asv","38","2","10","Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah."
"asv","38","2","11","And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts has sent me unto thee."
"asv","38","2","12","And Jehovah shall inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and shall yet choose Jerusalem."
"asv","38","2","13","Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation."
"asv","38","3","1","And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary."
"asv","38","3","2","And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?"
"asv","38","3","3","Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel."
"asv","38","3","4","And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel."
"asv","38","3","5","And I said, Let them set a clean mitre upon his head. So they set a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of Jehovah was standing by."
"asv","38","3","6","And the angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,"
"asv","38","3","7","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee a place of access among these that stand by."
"asv","38","3","8","Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee; for they are men that are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch."
"asv","38","3","9","For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day."
"asv","38","3","10","In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree."
"asv","38","4","1","And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep."
"asv","38","4","2","And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have seen, and, behold, a candlestick all of gold, with its bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;"
"asv","38","4","3","and two olive-trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof."
"asv","38","4","4","And I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?"
"asv","38","4","5","Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord."
"asv","38","4","6","Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","38","4","7","Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel  thou shalt become  a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it."
"asv","38","4","8","Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","38","4","9","The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you."
"asv","38","4","10","For who hath despised the day of small things? for these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel;  these are  the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro through the whole earth."
"asv","38","4","11","Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?"
"asv","38","4","12","And I answered the second time, and said unto him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?"
"asv","38","4","13","And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord."
"asv","38","4","14","Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
"asv","38","5","1","Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll."
"asv","38","5","2","And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits."
"asv","38","5","3","Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off on the other side according to it."
"asv","38","5","4","I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof."
"asv","38","5","5","Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth."
"asv","38","5","6","And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land"
"asv","38","5","7","(and, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah."
"asv","38","5","8","And he said, This is Wickedness: and he cast her down into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof."
"asv","38","5","9","Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings; now they had wings like the wings of a stork; and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven."
"asv","38","5","10","Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?"
"asv","38","5","11","And he said unto me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar: and when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place."
"asv","38","6","1","And again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass."
"asv","38","6","2","In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;"
"asv","38","6","3","and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses."
"asv","38","6","4","Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?"
"asv","38","6","5","And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth."
"asv","38","6","6"," The chariot wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country."
"asv","38","6","7","And the strong went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth."
"asv","38","6","8","Then cried he to me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, they that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."
"asv","38","6","9","And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,"
"asv","38","6","10","Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;"
"asv","38","6","11","yea, take  of them silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;"
"asv","38","6","12","and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of Jehovah;"
"asv","38","6","13","even he shall build the temple of Jehovah; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."
"asv","38","6","14","And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah."
"asv","38","6","15","And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you. And  this  shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God."
"asv","38","7","1","And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah in the fourth  day of the ninth month, even in Chislev."
"asv","38","7","2","Now  they of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of Jehovah,"
"asv","38","7","3"," and to speak unto the priests of the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"
"asv","38","7","4","Then came the word of Jehovah of hosts unto me, saying,"
"asv","38","7","5","Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh  month, even these seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?"
"asv","38","7","6","And when ye eat, and when ye drink, do not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?"
"asv","38","7","7"," Should ye not  hear the words which Jehovah cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, and the South and the lowland were inhabited?"
"asv","38","7","8","And the word of Jehovah came unto Zechariah, saying,"
"asv","38","7","9","Thus hath Jehovah of hosts spoken, saying, Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother;"
"asv","38","7","10","and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the sojourner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart."
"asv","38","7","11","But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear."
"asv","38","7","12","Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which Jehovah of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets: therefore there came great wrath from Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","38","7","13","And it is come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of hosts;"
"asv","38","7","14","but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate."
"asv","38","8","1","And the word of Jehovah of hosts came  to me, saying,"
"asv","38","8","2","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath."
"asv","38","8","3","Thus saith Jehovah: I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The city of truth; and the mountain of Jehovah of hosts, The holy mountain."
"asv","38","8","4","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age."
"asv","38","8","5","And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof."
"asv","38","8","6","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","38","8","7","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;"
"asv","38","8","8","and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."
"asv","38","8","9","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built."
"asv","38","8","10","For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in, because of the adversary: for I set all men every one against his neighbor."
"asv","38","8","11","But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","38","8","12","For  there shall be the seed of peace; the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things."
"asv","38","8","13","And it shall come to pass that, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing. Fear not,  but let your hands be strong."
"asv","38","8","14","For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: As I thought to do evil unto you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I repented not;"
"asv","38","8","15","so again have I thought in these days to do good unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not."
"asv","38","8","16","These are the things that ye shall do: speak ye every man the truth with his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates;"
"asv","38","8","17","and let none of you devise evil in your hearts against his neighbor; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah."
"asv","38","8","18","And the word of Jehovah of hosts came unto me, saying,"
"asv","38","8","19","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The fast of the fourth  month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love truth and peace."
"asv","38","8","20","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts:  It shall yet  come to pass, that there shall come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities;"
"asv","38","8","21","and the inhabitants of one  city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also."
"asv","38","8","22","Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Jehovah."
"asv","38","8","23","Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In those days  it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."
"asv","38","9","1","The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah);"
"asv","38","9","2","and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise."
"asv","38","9","3","And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets."
"asv","38","9","4","Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire."
"asv","38","9","5","Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited."
"asv","38","9","6","And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines."
"asv","38","9","7","And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God; and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite."
"asv","38","9","8","And I will encamp about my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes."
"asv","38","9","9","Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass."
"asv","38","9","10","And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth."
"asv","38","9","11","As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water."
"asv","38","9","12","Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee."
"asv","38","9","13","For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man."
"asv","38","9","14","And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south."
"asv","38","9","15","Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar."
"asv","38","9","16","And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for  they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land."
"asv","38","9","17","For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins."
"asv","38","10","1","Ask ye of Jehovah rain in the time of the latter rain,  even of  Jehovah that maketh lightnings; and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field."
"asv","38","10","2","For the teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams, they comfort in vain: therefore they go their way like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no shepherd."
"asv","38","10","3","Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for Jehovah of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his goodly horse in the battle."
"asv","38","10","4","From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler together."
"asv","38","10","5","And they shall be as mighty men, treading down  their enemies  in the mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because Jehovah is with them; and the riders on horses shall be confounded."
"asv","38","10","6","And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will hear them."
"asv","38","10","7","And  they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine; yea, their children shall see it, and rejoice; their heart shall be glad in Jehovah."
"asv","38","10","8","I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased."
"asv","38","10","9","And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and shall return."
"asv","38","10","10","I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them."
"asv","38","10","11","And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart."
"asv","38","10","12","And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith Jehovah."
"asv","38","11","1","Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars."
"asv","38","11","2","Wail, O fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are destroyed: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down."
"asv","38","11","3","A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! for the pride of the Jordan is laid waste."
"asv","38","11","4","Thus said Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;"
"asv","38","11","5","whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity them not."
"asv","38","11","6","For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them."
"asv","38","11","7","So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock."
"asv","38","11","8","And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me."
"asv","38","11","9","Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them that are left eat every one the flesh of another."
"asv","38","11","10","And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples."
"asv","38","11","11","And it was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of Jehovah."
"asv","38","11","12","And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty  pieces of silver."
"asv","38","11","13","And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty  pieces of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of Jehovah."
"asv","38","11","14","Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel."
"asv","38","11","15","And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd."
"asv","38","11","16","For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those that are cut off, neither will seek those that are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat  sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces."
"asv","38","11","17","Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened."
"asv","38","12","1","The burden of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.  Thus  saith Jehovah, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him:"
"asv","38","12","2","behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling unto all the peoples round about, and upon Judah also shall it be in the siege against Jerusalem."
"asv","38","12","3","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it."
"asv","38","12","4","In that day, saith Jehovah, I will smite every horse with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the peoples with blindness."
"asv","38","12","5","And the chieftains of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in Jehovah of hosts their God."
"asv","38","12","6","In that day will I make the chieftains of Judah like a pan of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left; and  they of  Jerusalem shall yet again dwell in their own place, even in Jerusalem."
"asv","38","12","7","Jehovah also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem be not magnified above Judah."
"asv","38","12","8","In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them."
"asv","38","12","9","And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."
"asv","38","12","10","And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born."
"asv","38","12","11","In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon."
"asv","38","12","12","And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;"
"asv","38","12","13","the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of the Shimeites apart, and their wives apart;"
"asv","38","12","14","all the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart."
"asv","38","13","1","In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness."
"asv","38","13","2","And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered; and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land."
"asv","38","13","3","And it shall come to pass that, when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of Jehovah; and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth."
"asv","38","13","4","And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he prophesieth; neither shall they wear a hairy mantle to deceive:"
"asv","38","13","5","but he shall say, I am no prophet, I am a tiller of the ground; for I have been made a bondman from my youth."
"asv","38","13","6","And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds between thine arms? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends."
"asv","38","13","7","Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones."
"asv","38","13","8","And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein."
"asv","38","13","9","And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God."
"asv","38","14","1","Behold, a day of Jehovah cometh, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee."
"asv","38","14","2","For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
"asv","38","14","3","Then shall Jehovah go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle."
"asv","38","14","4","And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be cleft in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,  and there shall be  a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."
"asv","38","14","5","And ye shall flee by the valley of my mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azel; yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and Jehovah my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee."
"asv","38","14","6","And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves:"
"asv","38","14","7","but it shall be one day which is known unto Jehovah; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light."
"asv","38","14","8","And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be."
"asv","38","14","9","And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and his name one."
"asv","38","14","10","All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin’s gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel unto the king’s wine-presses."
"asv","38","14","11","And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely."
"asv","38","14","12","And this shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."
"asv","38","14","13","And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor."
"asv","38","14","14","And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance."
"asv","38","14","15","And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in those camps, as that plague."
"asv","38","14","16","And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles."
"asv","38","14","17","And it shall be, that whoso of  all the families of the earth goeth not up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, upon them there shall be no rain."
"asv","38","14","18","And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither  shall it be upon them; there shall be the plague wherewith Jehovah will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."
"asv","38","14","19","This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."
"asv","38","14","20","In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLY UNTO JEHOVAH; and the pots in Jehovah’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar."
"asv","38","14","21","Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy unto Jehovah of hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil therein: and in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","1","1","The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi."
"asv","39","1","2","I have loved you, saith Jehovah. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother, saith Jehovah: yet I loved Jacob;"
"asv","39","1","3","but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and  gave  his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness."
"asv","39","1","4","Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and men shall call them The border of wickedness, and The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation for ever."
"asv","39","1","5","And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Jehovah be magnified beyond the border of Israel."
"asv","39","1","6","A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is mine honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?"
"asv","39","1","7","Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar. And ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible."
"asv","39","1","8","And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accept thy person? saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","1","9","And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","1","10","Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle  fire on mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand."
"asv","39","1","11","For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name  shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the Gentiles, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","1","12","But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of Jehovah is polluted, and the fruit thereof, even its food, is contemptible."
"asv","39","1","13","Ye say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith Jehovah of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye bring the offering: should I accept this at your hand? saith Jehovah."
"asv","39","1","14","But cursed be the deceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles."
"asv","39","2","1","And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you."
"asv","39","2","2","If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith Jehovah of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart."
"asv","39","2","3","Behold, I will rebuke your seed, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your feasts; and ye shall be taken away with it."
"asv","39","2","4","And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant may be with Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","2","5","My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might fear; and he feared me, and stood in awe of my name."
"asv","39","2","6","The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away from iniquity."
"asv","39","2","7","For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","2","8","But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","2","9","Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have had respect of persons in the law."
"asv","39","2","10","Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profaning the covenant of our fathers?"
"asv","39","2","11","Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of Jehovah which he loveth, and hath married the daughter of a foreign god."
"asv","39","2","12","Jehovah will cut off, to the man that doeth this, him that waketh and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","2","13","And this again ye do: ye cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping, and with sighing, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will at your hand."
"asv","39","2","14","Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because Jehovah hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant."
"asv","39","2","15","And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And wherefore one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth."
"asv","39","2","16","For I hate putting away, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith Jehovah of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously."
"asv","39","2","17","Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? In that ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of Jehovah, and he delighteth in them; or where is the God of justice?"
"asv","39","3","1","Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he cometh, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","3","2","But who can abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller’s soap:"
"asv","39","3","3","and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah offerings in righteousness."
"asv","39","3","4","Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Jehovah, as in the days of old, and as in ancient years."
"asv","39","3","5","And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the sojourner  from his right, and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","3","6","For I, Jehovah, change not; therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed."
"asv","39","3","7","From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return?"
"asv","39","3","8","Will a man rob God? yet ye rob me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
"asv","39","3","9","Ye are cursed with the curse; for ye rob me, even this whole nation."
"asv","39","3","10","Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough  to receive it."
"asv","39","3","11","And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","3","12","And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","3","13","Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah. Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee?"
"asv","39","3","14","Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before Jehovah of hosts?"
"asv","39","3","15","And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they tempt God, and escape."
"asv","39","3","16","Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared Jehovah, and that thought upon his name."
"asv","39","3","17","And they shall be mine, saith Jehovah of hosts,  even mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."
"asv","39","3","18","Then shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."
"asv","39","4","1","For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
"asv","39","4","2","But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall."
"asv","39","4","3","And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts."
"asv","39","4","4","Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances."
"asv","39","4","5","Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come."
"asv","39","4","6","And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
"asv","40","1","1","The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
"asv","40","1","2","Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren;"
"asv","40","1","3","and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram;"
"asv","40","1","4","and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon;"
"asv","40","1","5","and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;"
"asv","40","1","6","and Jesse begat David the king."
"asv","40","1","7","and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa;"
"asv","40","1","8","and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah;"
"asv","40","1","9","and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah;"
"asv","40","1","10","and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah;"
"asv","40","1","11","and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon."
"asv","40","1","12","And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel;"
"asv","40","1","13","and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;"
"asv","40","1","14","and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;"
"asv","40","1","15","and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;"
"asv","40","1","16","and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ."
"asv","40","1","17","So all the generations from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations; and from David unto the carrying away to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon unto the Christ fourteen generations."
"asv","40","1","18","Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit."
"asv","40","1","19","And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily."
"asv","40","1","20","But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit."
"asv","40","1","21","And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins."
"asv","40","1","22","Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,"
"asv","40","1","23","Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,And they shall call his name Immanuel;"
"asv","40","1","24","And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife;"
"asv","40","1","25","and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS."
"asv","40","2","1","Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,"
"asv","40","2","2","Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
"asv","40","2","3","And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him."
"asv","40","2","4","And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born."
"asv","40","2","5","And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judæa: for thus it is written through the prophet,"
"asv","40","2","6","And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah,Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah:For out of thee shall come forth a governor,Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel."
"asv","40","2","7","Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared."
"asv","40","2","8","And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found  him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him."
"asv","40","2","9","And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was."
"asv","40","2","10","And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
"asv","40","2","11","And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh."
"asv","40","2","12","And being warned  of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way."
"asv","40","2","13","Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him."
"asv","40","2","14","And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt;"
"asv","40","2","15","and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son."
"asv","40","2","16","Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men."
"asv","40","2","17","Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying,"
"asv","40","2","18","A voice was heard in Ramah,Weeping and great mourning,Rachel weeping for her children;And she would not be comforted, because they are not."
"asv","40","2","19","But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying,"
"asv","40","2","20","Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child’s life."
"asv","40","2","21","And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel."
"asv","40","2","22","But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judæa in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither; and being warned  of God  in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee,"
"asv","40","2","23","and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene."
"asv","40","3","1","And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa, saying,"
"asv","40","3","2","Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"asv","40","3","3","For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying,The voice of one crying in the wilderness,Make ye ready the way of the Lord,Make his paths straight."
"asv","40","3","4","Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey."
"asv","40","3","5","Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about the Jordan;"
"asv","40","3","6","and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins."
"asv","40","3","7","But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"
"asv","40","3","8","Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance:"
"asv","40","3","9","and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
"asv","40","3","10","And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
"asv","40","3","11","I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and  in fire:"
"asv","40","3","12","whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
"asv","40","3","13","Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him."
"asv","40","3","14","But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?"
"asv","40","3","15","But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer  it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him."
"asv","40","3","16","And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him;"
"asv","40","3","17","and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
"asv","40","4","1","Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil."
"asv","40","4","2","And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered."
"asv","40","4","3","And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
"asv","40","4","4","But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
"asv","40","4","5","Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,"
"asv","40","4","6","and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:On their hands they shall bear thee up,Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone."
"asv","40","4","7","Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God."
"asv","40","4","8","Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"
"asv","40","4","9","and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."
"asv","40","4","10","Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
"asv","40","4","11","Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him."
"asv","40","4","12","Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;"
"asv","40","4","13","and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:"
"asv","40","4","14","that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,"
"asv","40","4","15","The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles,"
"asv","40","4","16","The people that sat in darknessSaw a great light,And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death,To them did light spring up."
"asv","40","4","17","From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"asv","40","4","18","And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers."
"asv","40","4","19","And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
"asv","40","4","20","And they straightway left the nets, and followed him."
"asv","40","4","21","And going on from thence he saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them."
"asv","40","4","22","And they straightway left the boat and their father, and followed him."
"asv","40","4","23","And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people."
"asv","40","4","24","And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought unto him all that were sick, holden with divers diseases and torments, possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them."
"asv","40","4","25","And there followed him great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judæa and  from beyond the Jordan."
"asv","40","5","1","And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him:"
"asv","40","5","2","and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,"
"asv","40","5","3","Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","5","4","Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
"asv","40","5","5","Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
"asv","40","5","6","Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
"asv","40","5","7","Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."
"asv","40","5","8","Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
"asv","40","5","9","Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God."
"asv","40","5","10","Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","5","11","Blessed are ye when  men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
"asv","40","5","12","Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you."
"asv","40","5","13","Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men."
"asv","40","5","14","Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid."
"asv","40","5","15","Neither do  men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house."
"asv","40","5","16","Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","5","17","Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil."
"asv","40","5","18","For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished."
"asv","40","5","19","Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","5","20","For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","5","21","Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:"
"asv","40","5","22","but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire."
"asv","40","5","23","If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee,"
"asv","40","5","24","leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."
"asv","40","5","25","Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."
"asv","40","5","26","Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing."
"asv","40","5","27","Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:"
"asv","40","5","28","but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
"asv","40","5","29","And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell."
"asv","40","5","30","And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body go into hell."
"asv","40","5","31","It was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:"
"asv","40","5","32","but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery."
"asv","40","5","33","Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:"
"asv","40","5","34","but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God;"
"asv","40","5","35","nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King."
"asv","40","5","36","Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black."
"asv","40","5","37","But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil  one."
"asv","40","5","38","Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:"
"asv","40","5","39","but I say unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
"asv","40","5","40","And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also."
"asv","40","5","41","And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two."
"asv","40","5","42","Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away."
"asv","40","5","43","Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy:"
"asv","40","5","44","but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;"
"asv","40","5","45","that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust."
"asv","40","5","46","For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?"
"asv","40","5","47","And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more  than others?  do not even the Gentiles the same?"
"asv","40","5","48","Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
"asv","40","6","1","Take heed that ye do not your righteousness before men, to be seen of them: else ye have no reward with your Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","6","2","When therefore thou doest alms, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward."
"asv","40","6","3","But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:"
"asv","40","6","4","that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee."
"asv","40","6","5","And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward."
"asv","40","6","6","But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee."
"asv","40","6","7","And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."
"asv","40","6","8","Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."
"asv","40","6","9","After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
"asv","40","6","10","Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth."
"asv","40","6","11","Give us this day our daily bread."
"asv","40","6","12","And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."
"asv","40","6","13","And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
"asv","40","6","14","For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
"asv","40","6","15","But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
"asv","40","6","16","Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward."
"asv","40","6","17","But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face;"
"asv","40","6","18","that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee."
"asv","40","6","19","Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:"
"asv","40","6","20","but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"
"asv","40","6","21","for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also."
"asv","40","6","22","The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."
"asv","40","6","23","But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!"
"asv","40","6","24","No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"asv","40","6","25","Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?"
"asv","40","6","26","Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?"
"asv","40","6","27","And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?"
"asv","40","6","28","And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:"
"asv","40","6","29","yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
"asv","40","6","30","But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven,  shall he not much more  clothe  you, O ye of little faith?"
"asv","40","6","31","Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?"
"asv","40","6","32","For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things."
"asv","40","6","33","But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
"asv","40","6","34","Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
"asv","40","7","1","Judge not, that ye be not judged."
"asv","40","7","2","For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you."
"asv","40","7","3","And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
"asv","40","7","4","Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?"
"asv","40","7","5","Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye."
"asv","40","7","6","Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you."
"asv","40","7","7","Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
"asv","40","7","8","for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
"asv","40","7","9","Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;"
"asv","40","7","10","or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?"
"asv","40","7","11","If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"
"asv","40","7","12","All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets."
"asv","40","7","13","Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby."
"asv","40","7","14","For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it."
"asv","40","7","15","Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves."
"asv","40","7","16","By their fruits ye shall know them. Do  men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
"asv","40","7","17","Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit."
"asv","40","7","18","A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."
"asv","40","7","19","Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
"asv","40","7","20","Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
"asv","40","7","21","Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","7","22","Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?"
"asv","40","7","23","And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
"asv","40","7","24","Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock:"
"asv","40","7","25","and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon the rock."
"asv","40","7","26","And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:"
"asv","40","7","27","and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof."
"asv","40","7","28","And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:"
"asv","40","7","29","for he taught them as  one having authority, and not as their scribes."
"asv","40","8","1","And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him."
"asv","40","8","2","And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
"asv","40","8","3","And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed."
"asv","40","8","4","And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
"asv","40","8","5","And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,"
"asv","40","8","6","and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented."
"asv","40","8","7","And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him."
"asv","40","8","8","And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed."
"asv","40","8","9","For I also am a man under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."
"asv","40","8","10","And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."
"asv","40","8","11","And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:"
"asv","40","8","12","but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
"asv","40","8","13","And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour."
"asv","40","8","14","And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick of a fever."
"asv","40","8","15","And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose, and ministered unto him."
"asv","40","8","16","And when even was come, they brought unto him many possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick:"
"asv","40","8","17","that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our diseases."
"asv","40","8","18","Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side."
"asv","40","8","19","And there came a scribe, and said unto him, Teacher, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest."
"asv","40","8","20","And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven  have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
"asv","40","8","21","And another of the disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."
"asv","40","8","22","But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
"asv","40","8","23","And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him."
"asv","40","8","24","And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was asleep."
"asv","40","8","25","And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Save, Lord; we perish."
"asv","40","8","26","And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm."
"asv","40","8","27","And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"
"asv","40","8","28","And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two possessed with demons, coming forth out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man could pass by that way."
"asv","40","8","29","And behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?"
"asv","40","8","30","Now there was afar off from them a herd of many swine feeding."
"asv","40","8","31","And the demons besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine."
"asv","40","8","32","And he said unto them, Go. And they came out, and went into the swine: and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters."
"asv","40","8","33","And they that fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, and what was befallen to them that were possessed with demons."
"asv","40","8","34","And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought  him that he would depart from their borders."
"asv","40","9","1","And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city."
"asv","40","9","2","And behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, be of good cheer; thy sins are forgiven."
"asv","40","9","3","And behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth."
"asv","40","9","4","And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?"
"asv","40","9","5","For which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and walk?"
"asv","40","9","6","But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (then saith he to the sick of the palsy), Arise, and take up thy bed, and go unto thy house."
"asv","40","9","7","And he arose, and departed to his house."
"asv","40","9","8","But when the multitudes saw it, they were afraid, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men."
"asv","40","9","9","And as Jesus passed by from thence, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting at the place of toll: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him."
"asv","40","9","10","And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples."
"asv","40","9","11","And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners?"
"asv","40","9","12","But when he heard it, he said, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick."
"asv","40","9","13","But go ye and learn what  this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
"asv","40","9","14","Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?"
"asv","40","9","15","And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast."
"asv","40","9","16","And no man putteth a piece of undressed cloth upon an old garment; for that which should fill it up taketh from the garment, and a worse rent is made."
"asv","40","9","17","Neither do  men put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved."
"asv","40","9","18","While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live."
"asv","40","9","19","And Jesus arose, and followed him, and  so did his disciples."
"asv","40","9","20","And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:"
"asv","40","9","21","for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole."
"asv","40","9","22","But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour."
"asv","40","9","23","And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,"
"asv","40","9","24","he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn."
"asv","40","9","25","But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose."
"asv","40","9","26","And the fame hereof went forth into all that land."
"asv","40","9","27","And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David."
"asv","40","9","28","And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord."
"asv","40","9","29","Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you."
"asv","40","9","30","And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it."
"asv","40","9","31","But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land."
"asv","40","9","32","And as they went forth, behold, there was brought to him a dumb man possessed with a demon."
"asv","40","9","33","And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel."
"asv","40","9","34","But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the demons casteth he out demons."
"asv","40","9","35","And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness."
"asv","40","9","36","But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd."
"asv","40","9","37","Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few."
"asv","40","9","38","Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest."
"asv","40","10","1","And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness."
"asv","40","10","2","Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the  son of Zebedee, and John his brother;"
"asv","40","10","3","Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus;"
"asv","40","10","4","Simon the Cananæan, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him."
"asv","40","10","5","These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans:"
"asv","40","10","6","but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
"asv","40","10","7","And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
"asv","40","10","8","Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give."
"asv","40","10","9","Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;"
"asv","40","10","10","no wallet for  your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food."
"asv","40","10","11","And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth."
"asv","40","10","12","And as ye enter into the house, salute it."
"asv","40","10","13","And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you."
"asv","40","10","14","And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet."
"asv","40","10","15","Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city."
"asv","40","10","16","Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
"asv","40","10","17","But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you;"
"asv","40","10","18","yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles."
"asv","40","10","19","But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak."
"asv","40","10","20","For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you."
"asv","40","10","21","And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death."
"asv","40","10","22","And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved."
"asv","40","10","23","But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come."
"asv","40","10","24","A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord."
"asv","40","10","25","It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household!"
"asv","40","10","26","Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."
"asv","40","10","27","What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops."
"asv","40","10","28","And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
"asv","40","10","29","Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:"
"asv","40","10","30","but the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
"asv","40","10","31","Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
"asv","40","10","32","Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","10","33","But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","10","34","Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."
"asv","40","10","35","For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:"
"asv","40","10","36","and a man’s foes  shall be they of his own household."
"asv","40","10","37","He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
"asv","40","10","38","And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me."
"asv","40","10","39","He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."
"asv","40","10","40","He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
"asv","40","10","41","He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward."
"asv","40","10","42","And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward."
"asv","40","11","1","And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities."
"asv","40","11","2","Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples"
"asv","40","11","3","and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?"
"asv","40","11","4","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:"
"asv","40","11","5","the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them."
"asv","40","11","6","And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me."
"asv","40","11","7","And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?"
"asv","40","11","8","But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft  raiment? Behold, they that wear soft  raiment are in kings’ houses."
"asv","40","11","9","But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet."
"asv","40","11","10","This is he, of whom it is written,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,Who shall prepare thy way before thee."
"asv","40","11","11","Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
"asv","40","11","12","And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force."
"asv","40","11","13","For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John."
"asv","40","11","14","And if ye are willing to receive  it, this is Elijah, that is to come."
"asv","40","11","15","He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"asv","40","11","16","But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows"
"asv","40","11","17","and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn."
"asv","40","11","18","For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon."
"asv","40","11","19","The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works."
"asv","40","11","20","Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not."
"asv","40","11","21","Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes."
"asv","40","11","22","But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you."
"asv","40","11","23","And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day."
"asv","40","11","24","But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."
"asv","40","11","25","At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes:"
"asv","40","11","26","yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight."
"asv","40","11","27","All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal  him."
"asv","40","11","28","Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
"asv","40","11","29","Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
"asv","40","11","30","For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
"asv","40","12","1","At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples were hungry and began to pluck ears and to eat."
"asv","40","12","2","But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath."
"asv","40","12","3","But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;"
"asv","40","12","4","how he entered into the house of God, and ate the showbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?"
"asv","40","12","5","Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?"
"asv","40","12","6","But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here."
"asv","40","12","7","But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless."
"asv","40","12","8","For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath."
"asv","40","12","9","And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:"
"asv","40","12","10","and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him."
"asv","40","12","11","And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?"
"asv","40","12","12","How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day."
"asv","40","12","13","Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other."
"asv","40","12","14","But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him."
"asv","40","12","15","And Jesus perceiving  it withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all,"
"asv","40","12","16","and charged them that they should not make him known:"
"asv","40","12","17","that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,"
"asv","40","12","18","Behold, my servant whom I have chosen;My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased:I will put my Spirit upon him,And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles."
"asv","40","12","19","He shall not strive, nor cry aloud;Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets."
"asv","40","12","20","A bruised reed shall he not break,And smoking flax shall he not quench,Till he send forth judgment unto victory."
"asv","40","12","21","And in his name shall the Gentiles hope."
"asv","40","12","22","Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw."
"asv","40","12","23","And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?"
"asv","40","12","24","But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out demons, but by Beelzebub the prince of the demons."
"asv","40","12","25","And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:"
"asv","40","12","26","and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?"
"asv","40","12","27","And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges."
"asv","40","12","28","But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you."
"asv","40","12","29","Or how can one enter into the house of the strong  man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong  man? and then he will spoil his house."
"asv","40","12","30","He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."
"asv","40","12","31","Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven."
"asv","40","12","32","And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come."
"asv","40","12","33","Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit."
"asv","40","12","34","Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh."
"asv","40","12","35","The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
"asv","40","12","36","And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment."
"asv","40","12","37","For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
"asv","40","12","38","Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Teacher, we would see a sign from thee."
"asv","40","12","39","But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:"
"asv","40","12","40","for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
"asv","40","12","41","The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here."
"asv","40","12","42","The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
"asv","40","12","43","But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not."
"asv","40","12","44","Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished."
"asv","40","12","45","Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation."
"asv","40","12","46","While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him."
"asv","40","12","47","And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee."
"asv","40","12","48","But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?"
"asv","40","12","49","And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!"
"asv","40","12","50","For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."
"asv","40","13","1","On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side."
"asv","40","13","2","And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach."
"asv","40","13","3","And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;"
"asv","40","13","4","and as he sowed, some  seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:"
"asv","40","13","5","and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:"
"asv","40","13","6","and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away."
"asv","40","13","7","And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:"
"asv","40","13","8","and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
"asv","40","13","9","He that hath ears, let him hear."
"asv","40","13","10","And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?"
"asv","40","13","11","And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
"asv","40","13","12","For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath."
"asv","40","13","13","Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
"asv","40","13","14","And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand;And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:"
"asv","40","13","15","For this people’s heart is waxed gross,And their ears are dull of hearing,And their eyes they have closed;Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes,And hear with their ears,And understand with their heart,And should turn again,And I should heal them."
"asv","40","13","16","But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear."
"asv","40","13","17","For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not."
"asv","40","13","18","Hear then ye the parable of the sower."
"asv","40","13","19","When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil  one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side."
"asv","40","13","20","And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;"
"asv","40","13","21","yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth."
"asv","40","13","22","And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."
"asv","40","13","23","And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
"asv","40","13","24","Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:"
"asv","40","13","25","but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away."
"asv","40","13","26","But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also."
"asv","40","13","27","And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?"
"asv","40","13","28","And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?"
"asv","40","13","29","But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them."
"asv","40","13","30","Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."
"asv","40","13","31","Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:"
"asv","40","13","32","which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof."
"asv","40","13","33","Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened."
"asv","40","13","34","All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:"
"asv","40","13","35","that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,I will open my mouth in parables;I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world."
"asv","40","13","36","Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field."
"asv","40","13","37","And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;"
"asv","40","13","38","and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil  one;"
"asv","40","13","39","and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels."
"asv","40","13","40","As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world."
"asv","40","13","41","The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,"
"asv","40","13","42","and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
"asv","40","13","43","Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear."
"asv","40","13","44","The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field."
"asv","40","13","45","Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:"
"asv","40","13","46","and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it."
"asv","40","13","47","Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:"
"asv","40","13","48","which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away."
"asv","40","13","49","So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,"
"asv","40","13","50","and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
"asv","40","13","51","Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea."
"asv","40","13","52","And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old."
"asv","40","13","53","And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence."
"asv","40","13","54","And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?"
"asv","40","13","55","Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?"
"asv","40","13","56","And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?"
"asv","40","13","57","And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house."
"asv","40","13","58","And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief."
"asv","40","14","1","At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,"
"asv","40","14","2","and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore do these powers work in him."
"asv","40","14","3","For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife."
"asv","40","14","4","For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her."
"asv","40","14","5","And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet."
"asv","40","14","6","But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod."
"asv","40","14","7","Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she should ask."
"asv","40","14","8","And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
"asv","40","14","9","And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;"
"asv","40","14","10","and he sent and beheaded John in the prison."
"asv","40","14","11","And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother."
"asv","40","14","12","And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus."
"asv","40","14","13","Now when Jesus heard  it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard  thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities."
"asv","40","14","14","And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick."
"asv","40","14","15","And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
"asv","40","14","16","But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat."
"asv","40","14","17","And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes."
"asv","40","14","18","And he said, Bring them hither to me."
"asv","40","14","19","And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes."
"asv","40","14","20","And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full."
"asv","40","14","21","And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children."
"asv","40","14","22","And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away."
"asv","40","14","23","And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone."
"asv","40","14","24","But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary."
"asv","40","14","25","And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea."
"asv","40","14","26","And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost; and they cried out for fear."
"asv","40","14","27","But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."
"asv","40","14","28","And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee upon the waters."
"asv","40","14","29","And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus."
"asv","40","14","30","But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me."
"asv","40","14","31","And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"
"asv","40","14","32","And when they were gone up into the boat, the wind ceased."
"asv","40","14","33","And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."
"asv","40","14","34","And when they had crossed over, they came to the land, unto Gennesaret."
"asv","40","14","35","And when the men of that place knew him, they sent into all that region round about, and brought unto him all that were sick;"
"asv","40","14","36","and they besought him that they might only touch the border of his garment: and as many as touched were made whole."
"asv","40","15","1","Then there come to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,"
"asv","40","15","2","Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread."
"asv","40","15","3","And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?"
"asv","40","15","4","For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death."
"asv","40","15","5","But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given  to God;"
"asv","40","15","6","he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition."
"asv","40","15","7","Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,"
"asv","40","15","8","This people honoreth me with their lips;But their heart is far from me."
"asv","40","15","9","But in vain do they worship me,Teaching  as their doctrines the precepts of men."
"asv","40","15","10","And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:"
"asv","40","15","11","Not that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this defileth the man."
"asv","40","15","12","Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, when they heard this saying?"
"asv","40","15","13","But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up."
"asv","40","15","14","Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit."
"asv","40","15","15","And Peter answered and said unto him, Declare unto us the parable."
"asv","40","15","16","And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding?"
"asv","40","15","17","Perceive ye not, that whatsoever goeth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?"
"asv","40","15","18","But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man."
"asv","40","15","19","For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:"
"asv","40","15","20","these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not the man."
"asv","40","15","21","And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon."
"asv","40","15","22","And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon."
"asv","40","15","23","But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us."
"asv","40","15","24","But he answered and said, I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
"asv","40","15","25","But she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me."
"asv","40","15","26","And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs."
"asv","40","15","27","But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table."
"asv","40","15","28","Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it done unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour."
"asv","40","15","29","And Jesus departed thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and sat there."
"asv","40","15","30","And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at his feet; and he healed them:"
"asv","40","15","31","insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they glorified the God of Israel."
"asv","40","15","32","And Jesus called unto him his disciples, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat: and I would not send them away fasting, lest haply they faint on the way."
"asv","40","15","33","And the disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?"
"asv","40","15","34","And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes."
"asv","40","15","35","And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;"
"asv","40","15","36","and he took the seven loaves and the fishes; and he gave thanks and brake, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes."
"asv","40","15","37","And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full."
"asv","40","15","38","And they that did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children."
"asv","40","15","39","And he sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magadan."
"asv","40","16","1","And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven."
"asv","40","16","2","But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red."
"asv","40","16","3","And in the morning,  It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot  discern the signs of the times."
"asv","40","16","4","An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed."
"asv","40","16","5","And the disciples came to the other side and forgot to take bread."
"asv","40","16","6","And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
"asv","40","16","7","And they reasoned among themselves, saying, We took no bread."
"asv","40","16","8","And Jesus perceiving it said, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread?"
"asv","40","16","9","Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?"
"asv","40","16","10","Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?"
"asv","40","16","11","How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
"asv","40","16","12","Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
"asv","40","16","13","Now when Jesus came into the parts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?"
"asv","40","16","14","And they said, Some  say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."
"asv","40","16","15","He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am?"
"asv","40","16","16","And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
"asv","40","16","17","And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","16","18","And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."
"asv","40","16","19","I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
"asv","40","16","20","Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was the Christ."
"asv","40","16","21","From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
"asv","40","16","22","And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall never be unto thee."
"asv","40","16","23","But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men."
"asv","40","16","24","Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
"asv","40","16","25","For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it."
"asv","40","16","26","For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?"
"asv","40","16","27","For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds."
"asv","40","16","28","Verily I say unto you, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom."
"asv","40","17","1","And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:"
"asv","40","17","2","and he was transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun, and his garments became white as the light."
"asv","40","17","3","And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him."
"asv","40","17","4","And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
"asv","40","17","5","While he was yet speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him."
"asv","40","17","6","And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid."
"asv","40","17","7","And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid."
"asv","40","17","8","And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only."
"asv","40","17","9","And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead."
"asv","40","17","10","And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?"
"asv","40","17","11","And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:"
"asv","40","17","12","but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them."
"asv","40","17","13","Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist."
"asv","40","17","14","And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying,"
"asv","40","17","15","Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water."
"asv","40","17","16","And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him."
"asv","40","17","17","And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me."
"asv","40","17","18","And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour."
"asv","40","17","19","Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?"
"asv","40","17","20","And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
"asv","40","17","21"," + Many authorities, some ancient, insert v. 21.  But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting."
"asv","40","17","22","And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;"
"asv","40","17","23","and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry."
"asv","40","17","24","And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?"
"asv","40","17","25","He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?"
"asv","40","17","26","And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free."
"asv","40","17","27","But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee."
"asv","40","18","1","In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
"asv","40","18","2","And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them,"
"asv","40","18","3","and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","18","4","Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","18","5","And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:"
"asv","40","18","6","but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and  that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea."
"asv","40","18","7","Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!"
"asv","40","18","8","And if thy hand or thy foot causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed or halt, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire."
"asv","40","18","9","And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire."
"asv","40","18","10","See that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","18","11"," + Many authorities, some ancient, insert v. 11.  For the Son of man came to save that which was lost."
"asv","40","18","12","How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray?"
"asv","40","18","13","And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray."
"asv","40","18","14","Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish."
"asv","40","18","15","And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother."
"asv","40","18","16","But if he hear  thee not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established."
"asv","40","18","17","And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the church: and if he refuse to hear the church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the publican."
"asv","40","18","18","Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
"asv","40","18","19","Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven."
"asv","40","18","20","For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
"asv","40","18","21","Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?"
"asv","40","18","22","Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven."
"asv","40","18","23","Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants."
"asv","40","18","24","And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, that owed him ten thousand talents."
"asv","40","18","25","But forasmuch as he had not  wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made."
"asv","40","18","26","The servant therefore fell down and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all."
"asv","40","18","27","And the lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt."
"asv","40","18","28","But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred shillings: and he laid hold on him, and took  him  by the throat, saying, Pay what thou owest."
"asv","40","18","29","So his fellow-servant fell down and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee."
"asv","40","18","30","And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay that which was due."
"asv","40","18","31","So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were exceeding sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done."
"asv","40","18","32","Then his lord called him unto him, and saith to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou besoughtest me:"
"asv","40","18","33","shouldest not thou also have had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even as I had mercy on thee?"
"asv","40","18","34","And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due."
"asv","40","18","35","So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts."
"asv","40","19","1","And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judæa beyond the Jordan;"
"asv","40","19","2","and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there."
"asv","40","19","3","And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?"
"asv","40","19","4","And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made  them  from the beginning made them male and female,"
"asv","40","19","5","and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?"
"asv","40","19","6","So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
"asv","40","19","7","They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put  her away?"
"asv","40","19","8","He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so."
"asv","40","19","9","And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery."
"asv","40","19","10","The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."
"asv","40","19","11","But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given."
"asv","40","19","12","For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."
"asv","40","19","13","Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them."
"asv","40","19","14","But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","19","15","And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence."
"asv","40","19","16","And behold, one came to him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
"asv","40","19","17","And he said unto him, Why askest thou me concerning that which is good? One there is who is good: but if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments."
"asv","40","19","18","He saith unto him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,"
"asv","40","19","19","Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
"asv","40","19","20","The young man saith unto him, All these things have I observed: what lack I yet?"
"asv","40","19","21","Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me."
"asv","40","19","22","But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions."
"asv","40","19","23","And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven."
"asv","40","19","24","And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"asv","40","19","25","And when the disciples heard it, they were astonished exceedingly, saying, Who then can be saved?"
"asv","40","19","26","And Jesus looking upon  them said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
"asv","40","19","27","Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have?"
"asv","40","19","28","And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
"asv","40","19","29","And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life."
"asv","40","19","30","But many shall be last  that are first; and first  that are last."
"asv","40","20","1","For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard."
"asv","40","20","2","And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard."
"asv","40","20","3","And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;"
"asv","40","20","4","and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way."
"asv","40","20","5","Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise."
"asv","40","20","6","And about the eleventh  hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?"
"asv","40","20","7","They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard."
"asv","40","20","8","And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first."
"asv","40","20","9","And when they came that  were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling."
"asv","40","20","10","And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling."
"asv","40","20","11","And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,"
"asv","40","20","12","saying, These last have spent  but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat."
"asv","40","20","13","But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?"
"asv","40","20","14","Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee."
"asv","40","20","15","Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?"
"asv","40","20","16","So the last shall be first, and the first last."
"asv","40","20","17","And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and on the way he said unto them,"
"asv","40","20","18","Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,"
"asv","40","20","19","and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up."
"asv","40","20","20","Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping  him, and asking a certain thing of him."
"asv","40","20","21","And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom."
"asv","40","20","22","But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able."
"asv","40","20","23","He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on  my left hand, is not mine to give; but  it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father."
"asv","40","20","24","And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren."
"asv","40","20","25","But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them."
"asv","40","20","26","Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;"
"asv","40","20","27","and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:"
"asv","40","20","28","even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
"asv","40","20","29","And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him."
"asv","40","20","30","And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David."
"asv","40","20","31","And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David."
"asv","40","20","32","And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?"
"asv","40","20","33","They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened."
"asv","40","20","34","And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and straightway they received their sight, and followed him."
"asv","40","21","1","And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,"
"asv","40","21","2","saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose  them, and bring  them unto me."
"asv","40","21","3","And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them."
"asv","40","21","4","Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,"
"asv","40","21","5","Tell ye the daughter of Zion,Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,Meek, and riding upon an ass,And upon a colt the foal of an ass."
"asv","40","21","6","And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,"
"asv","40","21","7","and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon."
"asv","40","21","8","And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way."
"asv","40","21","9","And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."
"asv","40","21","10","And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?"
"asv","40","21","11","And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."
"asv","40","21","12","And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;"
"asv","40","21","13","and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers."
"asv","40","21","14","And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them."
"asv","40","21","15","But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,"
"asv","40","21","16","and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"
"asv","40","21","17","And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there."
"asv","40","21","18","Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered."
"asv","40","21","19","And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away."
"asv","40","21","20","And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"
"asv","40","21","21","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done."
"asv","40","21","22","And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."
"asv","40","21","23","And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?"
"asv","40","21","24","And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things."
"asv","40","21","25","The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?"
"asv","40","21","26","But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet."
"asv","40","21","27","And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things."
"asv","40","21","28","But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard."
"asv","40","21","29","And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went."
"asv","40","21","30","And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I  go, sir: and went not."
"asv","40","21","31","Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you."
"asv","40","21","32","For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him."
"asv","40","21","33","Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country."
"asv","40","21","34","And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits."
"asv","40","21","35","And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another."
"asv","40","21","36","Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner."
"asv","40","21","37","But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son."
"asv","40","21","38","But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance."
"asv","40","21","39","And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him."
"asv","40","21","40","When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?"
"asv","40","21","41","They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons."
"asv","40","21","42","Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,The stone which the builders rejected,The same was made the head of the corner;This was from the Lord,And it is marvellous in our eyes?"
"asv","40","21","43","Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
"asv","40","21","44","And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust."
"asv","40","21","45","And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them."
"asv","40","21","46","And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet."
"asv","40","22","1","And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying,"
"asv","40","22","2","The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,"
"asv","40","22","3","and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come."
"asv","40","22","4","Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast."
"asv","40","22","5","But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;"
"asv","40","22","6","and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them."
"asv","40","22","7","But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city."
"asv","40","22","8","Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy."
"asv","40","22","9","Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast."
"asv","40","22","10","And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was filled with guests."
"asv","40","22","11","But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:"
"asv","40","22","12","and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless."
"asv","40","22","13","Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
"asv","40","22","14","For many are called, but few chosen."
"asv","40","22","15","Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might ensnare him in his talk."
"asv","40","22","16","And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men."
"asv","40","22","17","Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?"
"asv","40","22","18","But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites?"
"asv","40","22","19","Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a denarius."
"asv","40","22","20","And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?"
"asv","40","22","21","They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s."
"asv","40","22","22","And when they heard it, they marvelled, and left him, and went away."
"asv","40","22","23","On that day there came to him Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection: and they asked him,"
"asv","40","22","24","saying, Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."
"asv","40","22","25","Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife unto his brother;"
"asv","40","22","26","in like manner the second also, and the third, unto the seventh."
"asv","40","22","27","And after them all, the woman died."
"asv","40","22","28","In the resurrection therefore whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her."
"asv","40","22","29","But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God."
"asv","40","22","30","For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven."
"asv","40","22","31","But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,"
"asv","40","22","32","I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not  the God of the dead, but of the living."
"asv","40","22","33","And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching."
"asv","40","22","34","But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, gathered themselves together."
"asv","40","22","35","And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, trying him:"
"asv","40","22","36","Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
"asv","40","22","37","And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind."
"asv","40","22","38","This is the great and first commandment."
"asv","40","22","39","And a second like  unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
"asv","40","22","40","On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets."
"asv","40","22","41","Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,"
"asv","40","22","42","saying, What think ye of the Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David."
"asv","40","22","43","He saith unto them, How then doth David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,"
"asv","40","22","44","The Lord said unto my Lord,Sit thou on my right hand,Till I put thine enemies underneath thy feet?"
"asv","40","22","45","If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?"
"asv","40","22","46","And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions."
"asv","40","23","1","Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,"
"asv","40","23","2","saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat:"
"asv","40","23","3","all things therefore whatsoever they bid you,  these do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not."
"asv","40","23","4","Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger."
"asv","40","23","5","But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders  of their garments,"
"asv","40","23","6","and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,"
"asv","40","23","7","and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi."
"asv","40","23","8","But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren."
"asv","40","23","9","And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven."
"asv","40","23","10","Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master,  even  the Christ."
"asv","40","23","11","But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant."
"asv","40","23","12","And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted."
"asv","40","23","13","But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter."
"asv","40","23","14"," + Some authorities insert here, or after v. 12, v. 14  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation."
"asv","40","23","15","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves."
"asv","40","23","16","Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor."
"asv","40","23","17","Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?"
"asv","40","23","18","And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor."
"asv","40","23","19","Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?"
"asv","40","23","20","He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon."
"asv","40","23","21","And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein."
"asv","40","23","22","And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon."
"asv","40","23","23","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone."
"asv","40","23","24","Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!"
"asv","40","23","25","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess."
"asv","40","23","26","Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also."
"asv","40","23","27","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness."
"asv","40","23","28","Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity."
"asv","40","23","29","Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,"
"asv","40","23","30","and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets."
"asv","40","23","31","Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets."
"asv","40","23","32","Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers."
"asv","40","23","33","Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?"
"asv","40","23","34","Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:"
"asv","40","23","35","that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar."
"asv","40","23","36","Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."
"asv","40","23","37","O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!"
"asv","40","23","38","Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."
"asv","40","23","39","For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
"asv","40","24","1","And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple."
"asv","40","24","2","But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
"asv","40","24","3","And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what  shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
"asv","40","24","4","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray."
"asv","40","24","5","For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray."
"asv","40","24","6","And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for  these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet."
"asv","40","24","7","For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places."
"asv","40","24","8","But all these things are the beginning of travail."
"asv","40","24","9","Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name’s sake."
"asv","40","24","10","And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another."
"asv","40","24","11","And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray."
"asv","40","24","12","And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold."
"asv","40","24","13","But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved."
"asv","40","24","14","And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come."
"asv","40","24","15","When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand),"
"asv","40","24","16","then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains:"
"asv","40","24","17","let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house:"
"asv","40","24","18","and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak."
"asv","40","24","19","But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!"
"asv","40","24","20","And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath:"
"asv","40","24","21","for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be."
"asv","40","24","22","And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened."
"asv","40","24","23","Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe  it not."
"asv","40","24","24","For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect."
"asv","40","24","25","Behold, I have told you beforehand."
"asv","40","24","26","If therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe  it not."
"asv","40","24","27","For as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man."
"asv","40","24","28","Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."
"asv","40","24","29","But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"
"asv","40","24","30","and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
"asv","40","24","31","And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
"asv","40","24","32","Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;"
"asv","40","24","33","even so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors."
"asv","40","24","34","Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished."
"asv","40","24","35","Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
"asv","40","24","36","But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only."
"asv","40","24","37","And as  were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man."
"asv","40","24","38","For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,"
"asv","40","24","39","and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man."
"asv","40","24","40","Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left:"
"asv","40","24","41","two women  shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left."
"asv","40","24","42","Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh."
"asv","40","24","43","But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through."
"asv","40","24","44","Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh."
"asv","40","24","45","Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?"
"asv","40","24","46","Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing."
"asv","40","24","47","Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath."
"asv","40","24","48","But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;"
"asv","40","24","49","and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;"
"asv","40","24","50","the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not,"
"asv","40","24","51","and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
"asv","40","25","1","Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom."
"asv","40","25","2","And five of them were foolish, and five were wise."
"asv","40","25","3","For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them:"
"asv","40","25","4","but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps."
"asv","40","25","5","Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept."
"asv","40","25","6","But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him."
"asv","40","25","7","Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps."
"asv","40","25","8","And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out."
"asv","40","25","9","But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."
"asv","40","25","10","And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut."
"asv","40","25","11","Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us."
"asv","40","25","12","But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."
"asv","40","25","13","Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour."
"asv","40","25","14","For  it is as  when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods."
"asv","40","25","15","And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey."
"asv","40","25","16","Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents."
"asv","40","25","17","In like manner he also that  received the two gained other two."
"asv","40","25","18","But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money."
"asv","40","25","19","Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them."
"asv","40","25","20","And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents."
"asv","40","25","21","His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
"asv","40","25","22","And he also that  received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents."
"asv","40","25","23","His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord."
"asv","40","25","24","And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;"
"asv","40","25","25","and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own."
"asv","40","25","26","But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter;"
"asv","40","25","27","thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest."
"asv","40","25","28","Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents."
"asv","40","25","29","For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away."
"asv","40","25","30","And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
"asv","40","25","31","But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:"
"asv","40","25","32","and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;"
"asv","40","25","33","and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left."
"asv","40","25","34","Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:"
"asv","40","25","35","for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;"
"asv","40","25","36","naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me."
"asv","40","25","37","Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?"
"asv","40","25","38","And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?"
"asv","40","25","39","And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?"
"asv","40","25","40","And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren,  even these least, ye did it unto me."
"asv","40","25","41","Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:"
"asv","40","25","42","for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;"
"asv","40","25","43","I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not."
"asv","40","25","44","Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?"
"asv","40","25","45","Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me."
"asv","40","25","46","And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life."
"asv","40","26","1","And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these words, he said unto his disciples,"
"asv","40","26","2","Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified."
"asv","40","26","3","Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas;"
"asv","40","26","4","and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him."
"asv","40","26","5","But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people."
"asv","40","26","6","Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,"
"asv","40","26","7","there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat."
"asv","40","26","8","But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?"
"asv","40","26","9","For this  ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor."
"asv","40","26","10","But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me."
"asv","40","26","11","For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always."
"asv","40","26","12","For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial."
"asv","40","26","13","Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."
"asv","40","26","14","Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,"
"asv","40","26","15","and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver."
"asv","40","26","16","And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him  unto them. "
"asv","40","26","17","Now on the first  day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?"
"asv","40","26","18","And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand; I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples."
"asv","40","26","19","And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover."
"asv","40","26","20","Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples;"
"asv","40","26","21","and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."
"asv","40","26","22","And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began to say unto him every one, Is it I, Lord?"
"asv","40","26","23","And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me."
"asv","40","26","24","The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born."
"asv","40","26","25","And Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said."
"asv","40","26","26","And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it; and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body."
"asv","40","26","27","And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;"
"asv","40","26","28","for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins."
"asv","40","26","29","But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom."
"asv","40","26","30","And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives."
"asv","40","26","31","Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended in me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad."
"asv","40","26","32","But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
"asv","40","26","33","But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended."
"asv","40","26","34","Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
"asv","40","26","35","Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee,  yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples."
"asv","40","26","36","Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray."
"asv","40","26","37","And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled."
"asv","40","26","38","Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: abide ye here, and watch with me."
"asv","40","26","39","And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."
"asv","40","26","40","And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?"
"asv","40","26","41","Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
"asv","40","26","42","Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done."
"asv","40","26","43","And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy."
"asv","40","26","44","And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words."
"asv","40","26","45","Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."
"asv","40","26","46","Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me."
"asv","40","26","47","And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people."
"asv","40","26","48","Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: take him."
"asv","40","26","49","And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him."
"asv","40","26","50","And Jesus said unto him, Friend,  do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him."
"asv","40","26","51","And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear."
"asv","40","26","52","Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
"asv","40","26","53","Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?"
"asv","40","26","54","How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"
"asv","40","26","55","In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not."
"asv","40","26","56","But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled."
"asv","40","26","57","And they that had taken Jesus led him away to  the house of  Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together."
"asv","40","26","58","But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end."
"asv","40","26","59","Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;"
"asv","40","26","60","and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,"
"asv","40","26","61","and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days."
"asv","40","26","62","And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?"
"asv","40","26","63","But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God."
"asv","40","26","64","Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
"asv","40","26","65","Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:"
"asv","40","26","66","what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death."
"asv","40","26","67","Then did they spit in his face and buffet him: and some smote him with the palms of their hands,"
"asv","40","26","68","saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee?"
"asv","40","26","69","Now Peter was sitting without in the court: and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan."
"asv","40","26","70","But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest."
"asv","40","26","71","And when he was gone out into the porch, another  maid saw him, and saith unto them that were there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth."
"asv","40","26","72","And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man."
"asv","40","26","73","And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art  one of them; for thy speech maketh thee known."
"asv","40","26","74","Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew."
"asv","40","26","75","And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly."
"asv","40","27","1","Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:"
"asv","40","27","2","and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor."
"asv","40","27","3","Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,"
"asv","40","27","4","saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou  to it."
"asv","40","27","5","And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself."
"asv","40","27","6","And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood."
"asv","40","27","7","And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in."
"asv","40","27","8","Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day."
"asv","40","27","9","Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom  certain of the children of Israel did price;"
"asv","40","27","10","and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me."
"asv","40","27","11","Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest."
"asv","40","27","12","And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing."
"asv","40","27","13","Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?"
"asv","40","27","14","And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly."
"asv","40","27","15","Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would."
"asv","40","27","16","And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas."
"asv","40","27","17","When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
"asv","40","27","18","For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up."
"asv","40","27","19","And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."
"asv","40","27","20","Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus."
"asv","40","27","21","But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas."
"asv","40","27","22","Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say, Let him be crucified."
"asv","40","27","23","And he said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified."
"asv","40","27","24","So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; see ye  to it."
"asv","40","27","25","And all the people answered and said, His blood  be on us, and on our children."
"asv","40","27","26","Then released he unto them Barabbas; but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified."
"asv","40","27","27","Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Prætorium, and gathered unto him the whole band."
"asv","40","27","28","And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe."
"asv","40","27","29","And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!"
"asv","40","27","30","And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head."
"asv","40","27","31","And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him."
"asv","40","27","32","And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to go  with them, that he might bear his cross."
"asv","40","27","33","And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,"
"asv","40","27","34","they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted it, he would not drink."
"asv","40","27","35","And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots;"
"asv","40","27","36","and they sat and watched him there."
"asv","40","27","37","And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"asv","40","27","38","Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left."
"asv","40","27","39","And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,"
"asv","40","27","40","and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross."
"asv","40","27","41","In like manner also the chief priests mocking  him, with the scribes and elders, said,"
"asv","40","27","42","He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him."
"asv","40","27","43","He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God."
"asv","40","27","44","And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach."
"asv","40","27","45","Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour."
"asv","40","27","46","And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
"asv","40","27","47","And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah."
"asv","40","27","48","And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink."
"asv","40","27","49","And the rest said, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him."
"asv","40","27","50","And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit."
"asv","40","27","51","And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake; and the rocks were rent;"
"asv","40","27","52","and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised;"
"asv","40","27","53","and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many."
"asv","40","27","54","Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God."
"asv","40","27","55","And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:"
"asv","40","27","56","among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee."
"asv","40","27","57","And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:"
"asv","40","27","58","this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up."
"asv","40","27","59","And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,"
"asv","40","27","60","and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed."
"asv","40","27","61","And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre."
"asv","40","27","62","Now on the morrow, which is  the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,"
"asv","40","27","63","saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again."
"asv","40","27","64","Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first."
"asv","40","27","65","Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it  as sure as ye can."
"asv","40","27","66","So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them."
"asv","40","28","1","Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."
"asv","40","28","2","And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it."
"asv","40","28","3","His appearance was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow:"
"asv","40","28","4","and for fear of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men."
"asv","40","28","5","And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, who hath been crucified."
"asv","40","28","6","He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
"asv","40","28","7","And go quickly, and tell his disciples, He is risen from the dead; and lo, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you."
"asv","40","28","8","And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring his disciples word."
"asv","40","28","9","And behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and took hold of his feet, and worshipped him."
"asv","40","28","10","Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not: go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
"asv","40","28","11","Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass."
"asv","40","28","12","And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave much money unto the soldiers,"
"asv","40","28","13","saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept."
"asv","40","28","14","And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and rid you of care."
"asv","40","28","15","So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews,  and continueth until this day."
"asv","40","28","16","But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them."
"asv","40","28","17","And when they saw him, they worshipped  him; but some doubted."
"asv","40","28","18","And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth."
"asv","40","28","19","Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:"
"asv","40","28","20","teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
"asv","41","1","1","The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
"asv","41","1","2","Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,Who shall prepare thy way;"
"asv","41","1","3","The voice of one crying in the wilderness,Make ye ready the way of the Lord,Make his paths straight;"
"asv","41","1","4","John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins."
"asv","41","1","5","And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins."
"asv","41","1","6","And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and  had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey."
"asv","41","1","7","And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose."
"asv","41","1","8","I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."
"asv","41","1","9","And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan."
"asv","41","1","10","And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:"
"asv","41","1","11","and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased."
"asv","41","1","12","And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness."
"asv","41","1","13","And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him."
"asv","41","1","14","Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,"
"asv","41","1","15","and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel."
"asv","41","1","16","And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers."
"asv","41","1","17","And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
"asv","41","1","18","And straightway they left the nets, and followed him."
"asv","41","1","19","And going on a little further, he saw James the  son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets."
"asv","41","1","20","And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him."
"asv","41","1","21","And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught."
"asv","41","1","22","And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes."
"asv","41","1","23","And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,"
"asv","41","1","24","saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God."
"asv","41","1","25","And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him."
"asv","41","1","26","And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him."
"asv","41","1","27","And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
"asv","41","1","28","And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about."
"asv","41","1","29","And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John."
"asv","41","1","30","Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:"
"asv","41","1","31","and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them."
"asv","41","1","32","And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons."
"asv","41","1","33","And all the city was gathered together at the door."
"asv","41","1","34","And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him."
"asv","41","1","35","And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed."
"asv","41","1","36","And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;"
"asv","41","1","37","and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee."
"asv","41","1","38","And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth."
"asv","41","1","39","And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons."
"asv","41","1","40","And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
"asv","41","1","41","And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean."
"asv","41","1","42","And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean."
"asv","41","1","43","And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,"
"asv","41","1","44","and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
"asv","41","1","45","But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter."
"asv","41","2","1","And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was noised that he was in the house."
"asv","41","2","2","And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them."
"asv","41","2","3","And they come, bringing unto him a man sick of the palsy, borne of four."
"asv","41","2","4","And when they could not come nigh unto him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed whereon the sick of the palsy lay."
"asv","41","2","5","And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven."
"asv","41","2","6","But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,"
"asv","41","2","7","Why doth this man thus speak? he blasphemeth: who can forgive sins but one,  even God?"
"asv","41","2","8","And straightway Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, saith unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?"
"asv","41","2","9","Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?"
"asv","41","2","10","But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy),"
"asv","41","2","11","I say unto thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house."
"asv","41","2","12","And he arose, and straightway took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion."
"asv","41","2","13","And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them."
"asv","41","2","14","And as he passed by, he saw Levi the  son of Alphæus sitting at the place of toll, and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him."
"asv","41","2","15","And it came to pass, that he was sitting at meat in his house, and many publicans and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him."
"asv","41","2","16","And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and publicans, said unto his disciples,  How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"
"asv","41","2","17","And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
"asv","41","2","18","And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?"
"asv","41","2","19","And Jesus said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast."
"asv","41","2","20","But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day."
"asv","41","2","21","No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made."
"asv","41","2","22","And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins; else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine perisheth, and the skins: but  they put  new wine into fresh wine-skins."
"asv","41","2","23","And it came to pass, that he was going on the sabbath day through the grainfields; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears."
"asv","41","2","24","And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?"
"asv","41","2","25","And he said unto them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he, and they that were with him?"
"asv","41","2","26","How he entered into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the showbread, which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests, and gave also to them that were with him?"
"asv","41","2","27","And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
"asv","41","2","28","so that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath."
"asv","41","3","1","And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there who had his hand withered."
"asv","41","3","2","And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him."
"asv","41","3","3","And he saith unto the man that had his hand withered, Stand forth."
"asv","41","3","4","And he saith unto them, Is it lawful on the sabbath day to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to kill? But they held their peace."
"asv","41","3","5","And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved at the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and his hand was restored."
"asv","41","3","6","And the Pharisees went out, and straightway with the Herodians took counsel against him, how they might destroy him."
"asv","41","3","7","And Jesus with his disciples withdrew to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judæa,"
"asv","41","3","8","and from Jerusalem, and from Idumæa, and beyond the Jordan, and about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came unto him."
"asv","41","3","9","And he spake to his disciples, that a little boat should wait on him because of the crowd, lest they should throng him:"
"asv","41","3","10","for he had healed many; insomuch that as many as had plagues pressed upon him that they might touch him."
"asv","41","3","11","And the unclean spirits, whensoever they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God."
"asv","41","3","12","And he charged them much that they should not make him known."
"asv","41","3","13","And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth unto him whom he himself would; and they went unto him."
"asv","41","3","14","And he appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,"
"asv","41","3","15","and to have authority to cast out demons:"
"asv","41","3","16","and Simon he surnamed Peter;"
"asv","41","3","17","and James the  son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and them he surnamed Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:"
"asv","41","3","18","and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the  son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus, and Simon the Cananæan,"
"asv","41","3","19","and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. And he cometh into a house."
"asv","41","3","20","And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread."
"asv","41","3","21","And when his friends heard it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself."
"asv","41","3","22","And the scribes that came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and, By the prince of the demons casteth he out the demons."
"asv","41","3","23","And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?"
"asv","41","3","24","And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand."
"asv","41","3","25","And if a house be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand."
"asv","41","3","26","And if Satan hath risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end."
"asv","41","3","27","But no one can enter into the house of the strong  man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong  man; and then he will spoil his house."
"asv","41","3","28","Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:"
"asv","41","3","29","but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin:"
"asv","41","3","30","because they said, He hath an unclean spirit."
"asv","41","3","31","And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him."
"asv","41","3","32","And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee."
"asv","41","3","33","And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren?"
"asv","41","3","34","And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren!"
"asv","41","3","35","For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."
"asv","41","4","1","And again he began to teach by the sea side. And there is gathered unto him a very great multitude, so that he entered into a boat, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude were by the sea on the land."
"asv","41","4","2","And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his teaching,"
"asv","41","4","3","Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:"
"asv","41","4","4","and it came to pass, as he sowed, some  seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it."
"asv","41","4","5","And other fell on the rocky  ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth:"
"asv","41","4","6","and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away."
"asv","41","4","7","And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit."
"asv","41","4","8","And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold."
"asv","41","4","9","And he said, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"asv","41","4","10","And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parables."
"asv","41","4","11","And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables:"
"asv","41","4","12","that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them."
"asv","41","4","13","And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables?"
"asv","41","4","14","The sower soweth the word."
"asv","41","4","15","And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; and when they have heard, straightway cometh Satan, and taketh away the word which hath been sown in them."
"asv","41","4","16","And these in like manner are they that are sown upon the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, straightway receive it with joy;"
"asv","41","4","17","and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble."
"asv","41","4","18","And others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they that have heard the word,"
"asv","41","4","19","and the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."
"asv","41","4","20","And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold."
"asv","41","4","21","And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed,  and not to be put on the stand?"
"asv","41","4","22","For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light."
"asv","41","4","23","If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"asv","41","4","24","And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you."
"asv","41","4","25","For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath."
"asv","41","4","26","And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth;"
"asv","41","4","27","and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how."
"asv","41","4","28","The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear."
"asv","41","4","29","But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come."
"asv","41","4","30","And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?"
"asv","41","4","31","It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,"
"asv","41","4","32","yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof."
"asv","41","4","33","And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;"
"asv","41","4","34","and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things."
"asv","41","4","35","And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side."
"asv","41","4","36","And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him."
"asv","41","4","37","And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling."
"asv","41","4","38","And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?"
"asv","41","4","39","And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
"asv","41","4","40","And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?"
"asv","41","4","41","And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
"asv","41","5","1","And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes."
"asv","41","5","2","And when he was come out of the boat, straightway there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,"
"asv","41","5","3","who had his dwelling in the tombs: and no man could any more bind him, no, not with a chain;"
"asv","41","5","4","because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him."
"asv","41","5","5","And always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was crying out, and cutting himself with stones."
"asv","41","5","6","And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him;"
"asv","41","5","7","and crying out with a loud voice, he saith, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I adjure thee by God, torment me not."
"asv","41","5","8","For he said unto him, Come forth, thou unclean spirit, out of the man."
"asv","41","5","9","And he asked him, What is thy name? And he saith unto him, My name is Legion; for we are many."
"asv","41","5","10","And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country."
"asv","41","5","11","Now there was there on the mountain side a great herd of swine feeding."
"asv","41","5","12","And they besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
"asv","41","5","13","And he gave them leave. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the sea,  in number about two thousand; and they were drowned in the sea."
"asv","41","5","14","And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they came to see what it was that had come to pass."
"asv","41","5","15","And they come to Jesus, and behold him that was possessed with demons sitting, clothed and in his right mind,  even him that had the legion: and they were afraid."
"asv","41","5","16","And they that saw it declared unto them how it befell him that was possessed with demons, and concerning the swine."
"asv","41","5","17","And they began to beseech him to depart from their borders."
"asv","41","5","18","And as he was entering into the boat, he that had been possessed with demons besought him that he might be with him."
"asv","41","5","19","And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on thee."
"asv","41","5","20","And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled."
"asv","41","5","21","And when Jesus had crossed over again in the boat unto the other side, a great multitude was gathered unto him; and he was by the sea."
"asv","41","5","22","And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and seeing him, he falleth at his feet,"
"asv","41","5","23","and beseecheth him much, saying, My little daughter is at the point of death:  I pray thee, that thou come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be made whole, and live."
"asv","41","5","24","And he went with him; and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him."
"asv","41","5","25","And a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years,"
"asv","41","5","26","and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,"
"asv","41","5","27","having heard the things concerning Jesus, came in the crowd behind, and touched his garment."
"asv","41","5","28","For she said, If I touch but his garments, I shall be made whole."
"asv","41","5","29","And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague."
"asv","41","5","30","And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power  proceeding  from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?"
"asv","41","5","31","And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"
"asv","41","5","32","And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing."
"asv","41","5","33","But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth."
"asv","41","5","34","And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."
"asv","41","5","35","While he yet spake, they come from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Teacher any further?"
"asv","41","5","36","But Jesus, not heeding the word spoken, saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe."
"asv","41","5","37","And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James."
"asv","41","5","38","And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he beholdeth a tumult, and  many weeping and wailing greatly."
"asv","41","5","39","And when he was entered in, he saith unto them, Why make ye a tumult, and weep? the child is not dead, but sleepeth."
"asv","41","5","40","And they laughed him to scorn. But he, having put them all forth, taketh the father of the child and her mother and them that were with him, and goeth in where the child was."
"asv","41","5","41","And taking the child by the hand, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, Arise."
"asv","41","5","42","And straightway the damsel rose up, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were amazed straightway with a great amazement."
"asv","41","5","43","And he charged them much that no man should know this: and he commanded that  something should be given her to eat."
"asv","41","6","1","And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him."
"asv","41","6","2","And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and  what mean  such mighty works wrought by his hands?"
"asv","41","6","3","Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him."
"asv","41","6","4","And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
"asv","41","6","5","And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them."
"asv","41","6","6","And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages teaching."
"asv","41","6","7","And he calleth unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits;"
"asv","41","6","8","and he charged them that they should take nothing for  their  journey, save a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse;"
"asv","41","6","9","but  to go shod with sandals: and,  said he, put not on two coats."
"asv","41","6","10","And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence."
"asv","41","6","11","And whatsoever place shall not receive you, and they hear you not, as ye go forth thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony unto them."
"asv","41","6","12","And they went out, and preached that  men should repent."
"asv","41","6","13","And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them."
"asv","41","6","14","And king Herod heard  thereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him."
"asv","41","6","15","But others said, It is Elijah. And others said,  It is a prophet,  even as one of the prophets."
"asv","41","6","16","But Herod, when he heard  thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen."
"asv","41","6","17","For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her."
"asv","41","6","18","For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife."
"asv","41","6","19","And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not;"
"asv","41","6","20","for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly."
"asv","41","6","21","And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;"
"asv","41","6","22","and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and them that sat at meat with him; and the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee."
"asv","41","6","23","And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom."
"asv","41","6","24","And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer."
"asv","41","6","25","And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
"asv","41","6","26","And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her."
"asv","41","6","27","And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,"
"asv","41","6","28","and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother."
"asv","41","6","29","And when his disciples heard  thereof, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb."
"asv","41","6","30","And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught."
"asv","41","6","31","And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat."
"asv","41","6","32","And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart."
"asv","41","6","33","And  the people saw them going, and many knew  them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them."
"asv","41","6","34","And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things."
"asv","41","6","35","And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent;"
"asv","41","6","36","send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat."
"asv","41","6","37","But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them to eat?"
"asv","41","6","38","And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go  and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes."
"asv","41","6","39","And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass."
"asv","41","6","40","And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties."
"asv","41","6","41","And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all."
"asv","41","6","42","And they all ate, and were filled."
"asv","41","6","43","And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes."
"asv","41","6","44","And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men."
"asv","41","6","45","And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before  him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself sendeth the multitude away."
"asv","41","6","46","And after he had taken leave of them, he departed into the mountain to pray."
"asv","41","6","47","And when even was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land."
"asv","41","6","48","And seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them, about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them:"
"asv","41","6","49","but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;"
"asv","41","6","50","for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he straightway spake with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid."
"asv","41","6","51","And he went up unto them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves;"
"asv","41","6","52","for they understood not concerning the loaves, but their heart was hardened."
"asv","41","6","53","And when they had crossed over, they came to the land unto Gennesaret, and moored to the shore."
"asv","41","6","54","And when they were come out of the boat, straightway  the people  knew him,"
"asv","41","6","55","and ran round about that whole region, and began to carry about on their beds those that were sick, where they heard he was."
"asv","41","6","56","And wheresoever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole."
"asv","41","7","1","And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,"
"asv","41","7","2","and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled, that is, unwashen, hands."
"asv","41","7","3","(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders;"
"asv","41","7","4","and  when they come from the marketplace, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)"
"asv","41","7","5","And the Pharisees and the scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled hands?"
"asv","41","7","6","And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written,This people honoreth me with their lips,But their heart is far from me."
"asv","41","7","7","But in vain do they worship me,Teaching  as their doctrines the precepts of men."
"asv","41","7","8","Ye leave the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men."
"asv","41","7","9","And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition."
"asv","41","7","10","For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death:"
"asv","41","7","11","but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is Corban, that is to say, Given  to God;"
"asv","41","7","12","ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother;"
"asv","41","7","13","making void the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do."
"asv","41","7","14","And he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them, Hear me all of you, and understand:"
"asv","41","7","15","there is nothing from without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man."
"asv","41","7","16"," + Many ancient authorities insert v. 16.  If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"asv","41","7","17","And when he was entered into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable."
"asv","41","7","18","And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goeth into the man,  it cannot defile him;"
"asv","41","7","19","because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught?  This he said, making all meats clean."
"asv","41","7","20","And he said, That which proceedeth out of the man, that defileth the man."
"asv","41","7","21","For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,"
"asv","41","7","22","covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:"
"asv","41","7","23","all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man."
"asv","41","7","24","And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid."
"asv","41","7","25","But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet."
"asv","41","7","26","Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter."
"asv","41","7","27","And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs."
"asv","41","7","28","But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs."
"asv","41","7","29","And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter."
"asv","41","7","30","And she went away unto her house, and found the child laid upon the bed, and the demon gone out."
"asv","41","7","31","And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis."
"asv","41","7","32","And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him."
"asv","41","7","33","And he took him aside from the multitude privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue;"
"asv","41","7","34","and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened."
"asv","41","7","35","And his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain."
"asv","41","7","36","And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it."
"asv","41","7","37","And they were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak."
"asv","41","8","1","In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,"
"asv","41","8","2","I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat:"
"asv","41","8","3","and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far."
"asv","41","8","4","And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?"
"asv","41","8","5","And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven."
"asv","41","8","6","And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude."
"asv","41","8","7","And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them."
"asv","41","8","8","And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets."
"asv","41","8","9","And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away."
"asv","41","8","10","And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha."
"asv","41","8","11","And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him."
"asv","41","8","12","And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation."
"asv","41","8","13","And he left them, and again entering into  the boat departed to the other side."
"asv","41","8","14","And they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf."
"asv","41","8","15","And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
"asv","41","8","16","And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread."
"asv","41","8","17","And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened?"
"asv","41","8","18","Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?"
"asv","41","8","19","When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve."
"asv","41","8","20","And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven."
"asv","41","8","21","And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?"
"asv","41","8","22","And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him."
"asv","41","8","23","And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught?"
"asv","41","8","24","And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold  them  as trees, walking."
"asv","41","8","25","Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly."
"asv","41","8","26","And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village."
"asv","41","8","27","And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Cæsarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?"
"asv","41","8","28","And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets."
"asv","41","8","29","And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ."
"asv","41","8","30","And he charged them that they should tell no man of him."
"asv","41","8","31","And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again."
"asv","41","8","32","And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him."
"asv","41","8","33","But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men."
"asv","41","8","34","And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
"asv","41","8","35","For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it."
"asv","41","8","36","For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?"
"asv","41","8","37","For what should a man give in exchange for his life?"
"asv","41","8","38","For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
"asv","41","9","1","And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand  by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power."
"asv","41","9","2","And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;"
"asv","41","9","3","and his garments became glistering, exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth can whiten them."
"asv","41","9","4","And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus."
"asv","41","9","5","And Peter answereth and saith to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
"asv","41","9","6","For he knew not what to answer; for they became sore afraid."
"asv","41","9","7","And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son: hear ye him."
"asv","41","9","8","And suddenly looking round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves."
"asv","41","9","9","And as they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, save when the Son of man should have risen again from the dead."
"asv","41","9","10","And they kept the saying, questioning among themselves what the rising again from the dead should mean."
"asv","41","9","11","And they asked him, saying,  How is it that the scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
"asv","41","9","12","And he said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things: and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?"
"asv","41","9","13","But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him."
"asv","41","9","14","And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them."
"asv","41","9","15","And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him."
"asv","41","9","16","And he asked them, What question ye with them?"
"asv","41","9","17","And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;"
"asv","41","9","18","and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able."
"asv","41","9","19","And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me."
"asv","41","9","20","And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming."
"asv","41","9","21","And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child."
"asv","41","9","22","And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."
"asv","41","9","23","And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth."
"asv","41","9","24","Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
"asv","41","9","25","And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him."
"asv","41","9","26","And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and  the boy  became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead."
"asv","41","9","27","But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose."
"asv","41","9","28","And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?"
"asv","41","9","29","And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer."
"asv","41","9","30","And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it."
"asv","41","9","31","For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again."
"asv","41","9","32","But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him."
"asv","41","9","33","And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning on the way?"
"asv","41","9","34","But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who  was the greatest."
"asv","41","9","35","And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."
"asv","41","9","36","And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,"
"asv","41","9","37","Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me."
"asv","41","9","38","John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us."
"asv","41","9","39","But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me."
"asv","41","9","40","For he that is not against us is for us."
"asv","41","9","41","For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, because ye are Christ’s, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."
"asv","41","9","42","And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea."
"asv","41","9","43","And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire."
"asv","41","9","44"," + Vs. 44 and 46 (which are identical to v. 48) are omitted by some ancient authorities.  where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. "
"asv","41","9","45","And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell."
"asv","41","9","46"," + Vs. 44 and 46 (which are identical to v. 48) are omitted by some ancient authorities.  where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. "
"asv","41","9","47","And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell;"
"asv","41","9","48","where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
"asv","41","9","49","For every one shall be salted with fire."
"asv","41","9","50","Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another."
"asv","41","10","1","And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judæa and beyond the Jordan: and multitudes come together unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again."
"asv","41","10","2","And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away  his wife? trying him."
"asv","41","10","3","And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?"
"asv","41","10","4","And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away."
"asv","41","10","5","But Jesus said unto them, For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment."
"asv","41","10","6","But from the beginning of the creation, Male and female made he them."
"asv","41","10","7","For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife;"
"asv","41","10","8","and the two shall become one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh."
"asv","41","10","9","What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
"asv","41","10","10","And in the house the disciples asked him again of this matter."
"asv","41","10","11","And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her:"
"asv","41","10","12","and if she herself shall put away her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery."
"asv","41","10","13","And they were bringing unto him little children, that he should touch them: and the disciples rebuked them."
"asv","41","10","14","But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me; forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God."
"asv","41","10","15","Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein."
"asv","41","10","16","And he took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands upon them."
"asv","41","10","17","And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
"asv","41","10","18","And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one,  even God."
"asv","41","10","19","Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother."
"asv","41","10","20","And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth."
"asv","41","10","21","And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me."
"asv","41","10","22","But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions."
"asv","41","10","23","And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"
"asv","41","10","24","And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!"
"asv","41","10","25","It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"asv","41","10","26","And they were astonished exceedingly, saying unto him, Then who can be saved?"
"asv","41","10","27","Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God."
"asv","41","10","28","Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee."
"asv","41","10","29","Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake,"
"asv","41","10","30","but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life."
"asv","41","10","31","But many  that are first shall be last; and the last first."
"asv","41","10","32","And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were amazed; and they that followed were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were to happen unto him,"
"asv","41","10","33"," saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles:"
"asv","41","10","34","and they shall mock him, and shall spit upon him, and shall scourge him, and shall kill him; and after three days he shall rise again."
"asv","41","10","35","And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee."
"asv","41","10","36","And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?"
"asv","41","10","37","And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on  thy left hand, in thy glory."
"asv","41","10","38","But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
"asv","41","10","39","And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:"
"asv","41","10","40","but to sit on my right hand or on  my left hand is not mine to give; but  it is for them for whom it hath been prepared."
"asv","41","10","41","And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John."
"asv","41","10","42","And Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them."
"asv","41","10","43","But it is not so among you: but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister;"
"asv","41","10","44","and whosoever would be first among you, shall be servant of all."
"asv","41","10","45","For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
"asv","41","10","46","And they come to Jericho: and as he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timæus, Bartimæus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the way side."
"asv","41","10","47","And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"asv","41","10","48","And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"asv","41","10","49","And Jesus stood still, and said, Call ye him. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good cheer: rise, he calleth thee."
"asv","41","10","50","And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus."
"asv","41","10","51","And Jesus answered him, and said, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight."
"asv","41","10","52","And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And straightway he received his sight, and followed him in the way."
"asv","41","11","1","And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,"
"asv","41","11","2","and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him."
"asv","41","11","3","And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither."
"asv","41","11","4","And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him."
"asv","41","11","5","And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?"
"asv","41","11","6","And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go."
"asv","41","11","7","And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him."
"asv","41","11","8","And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields."
"asv","41","11","9","And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:"
"asv","41","11","10","Blessed  is the kingdom that cometh,  the kingdom  of our father David: Hosanna in the highest."
"asv","41","11","11","And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve."
"asv","41","11","12","And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered."
"asv","41","11","13","And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs."
"asv","41","11","14","And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it."
"asv","41","11","15","And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;"
"asv","41","11","16","and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple."
"asv","41","11","17","And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers."
"asv","41","11","18","And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching."
"asv","41","11","19","And every evening he went forth out of the city."
"asv","41","11","20","And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots."
"asv","41","11","21","And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away."
"asv","41","11","22","And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God."
"asv","41","11","23","Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it."
"asv","41","11","24","Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
"asv","41","11","25","And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
"asv","41","11","26"," + Many ancient authorities add v. 26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses."
"asv","41","11","27","And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;"
"asv","41","11","28","and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?"
"asv","41","11","29","And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things."
"asv","41","11","30","The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me."
"asv","41","11","31","And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?"
"asv","41","11","32","But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet."
"asv","41","11","33","And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things."
"asv","41","12","1","And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country."
"asv","41","12","2","And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard."
"asv","41","12","3","And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty."
"asv","41","12","4","And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully."
"asv","41","12","5","And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some."
"asv","41","12","6","He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son."
"asv","41","12","7","But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours."
"asv","41","12","8","And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard."
"asv","41","12","9","What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others."
"asv","41","12","10","Have ye not read even this scripture:The stone which the builders rejected,The same was made the head of the corner;"
"asv","41","12","11","This was from the Lord,And it is marvellous in our eyes?"
"asv","41","12","12","And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away."
"asv","41","12","13","And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk."
"asv","41","12","14","And when they were come, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?"
"asv","41","12","15","Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why make ye trial of me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it."
"asv","41","12","16","And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’s."
"asv","41","12","17","And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled greatly at him."
"asv","41","12","18","And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,"
"asv","41","12","19","Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."
"asv","41","12","20","There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;"
"asv","41","12","21","and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:"
"asv","41","12","22","and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died."
"asv","41","12","23","In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife."
"asv","41","12","24","Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?"
"asv","41","12","25","For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven."
"asv","41","12","26","But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in  the place concerning the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, I  am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?"
"asv","41","12","27","He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err."
"asv","41","12","28","And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?"
"asv","41","12","29","Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:"
"asv","41","12","30","and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength."
"asv","41","12","31","The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."
"asv","41","12","32","And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none other but he:"
"asv","41","12","33","and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
"asv","41","12","34","And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question."
"asv","41","12","35","And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?"
"asv","41","12","36","David himself said in the Holy Spirit,The Lord said unto my Lord,Sit thou on my right hand,Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet."
"asv","41","12","37","David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly."
"asv","41","12","38","And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and  to have salutations in the marketplaces,"
"asv","41","12","39","and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:"
"asv","41","12","40","they that devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation."
"asv","41","12","41","And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much."
"asv","41","12","42","And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing."
"asv","41","12","43","And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting into the treasury:"
"asv","41","12","44","for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had,  even all her living."
"asv","41","13","1","And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Teacher, behold, what manner of stones and what manner of buildings!"
"asv","41","13","2","And Jesus said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left here one stone upon another, which shall not be thrown down."
"asv","41","13","3","And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,"
"asv","41","13","4","Tell us, when shall these things be? and what  shall be the sign when these things are all about to be accomplished?"
"asv","41","13","5","And Jesus began to say unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray."
"asv","41","13","6","Many shall come in my name, saying, I am  he; and shall lead many astray."
"asv","41","13","7","And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled: these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet."
"asv","41","13","8","For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail."
"asv","41","13","9","But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them."
"asv","41","13","10","And the gospel must first be preached unto all the nations."
"asv","41","13","11","And when they lead you  to judgment, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye; for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit."
"asv","41","13","12","And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death."
"asv","41","13","13","And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved."
"asv","41","13","14","But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains:"
"asv","41","13","15","and let him that is on the housetop not go down, nor enter in, to take anything out of his house:"
"asv","41","13","16","and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak."
"asv","41","13","17","But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!"
"asv","41","13","18","And pray ye that it be not in the winter."
"asv","41","13","19","For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be."
"asv","41","13","20","And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days."
"asv","41","13","21","And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe  it not:"
"asv","41","13","22","for there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, the elect."
"asv","41","13","23","But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand."
"asv","41","13","24","But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,"
"asv","41","13","25","and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken."
"asv","41","13","26","And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory."
"asv","41","13","27","And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven."
"asv","41","13","28","Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;"
"asv","41","13","29","even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh,  even at the doors."
"asv","41","13","30","Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished."
"asv","41","13","31","Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
"asv","41","13","32","But of that day or that hour knoweth no one, not even the angels in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."
"asv","41","13","33","Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."
"asv","41","13","34"," It is as  when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to watch."
"asv","41","13","35","Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning;"
"asv","41","13","36","lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping."
"asv","41","13","37","And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
"asv","41","14","1","Now after two days was  the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him:"
"asv","41","14","2","for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people."
"asv","41","14","3","And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure nard very costly;  and she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head."
"asv","41","14","4","But there were some that had indignation among themselves,  saying, To what purpose hath this waste of the ointment been made?"
"asv","41","14","5","For this ointment might have been sold for above three hundred shillings, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her."
"asv","41","14","6","But Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me."
"asv","41","14","7","For ye have the poor always with you, and whensoever ye will ye can do them good: but me ye have not always."
"asv","41","14","8","She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for the burying."
"asv","41","14","9","And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."
"asv","41","14","10","And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them."
"asv","41","14","11","And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him  unto them."
"asv","41","14","12","And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?"
"asv","41","14","13","And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him;"
"asv","41","14","14","and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"
"asv","41","14","15","And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished  and  ready: and there make ready for us."
"asv","41","14","16","And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover."
"asv","41","14","17","And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve."
"asv","41","14","18","And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me,  even he that eateth with me."
"asv","41","14","19","They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?"
"asv","41","14","20","And he said unto them,  It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the dish."
"asv","41","14","21","For the Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born."
"asv","41","14","22","And as they were eating, he took bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take ye: this is my body."
"asv","41","14","23","And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it."
"asv","41","14","24","And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many."
"asv","41","14","25","Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."
"asv","41","14","26","And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives."
"asv","41","14","27","And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad."
"asv","41","14","28","Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee."
"asv","41","14","29","But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I."
"asv","41","14","30","And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice."
"asv","41","14","31","But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all."
"asv","41","14","32","And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray."
"asv","41","14","33","And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled."
"asv","41","14","34","And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch."
"asv","41","14","35","And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him."
"asv","41","14","36","And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt."
"asv","41","14","37","And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?"
"asv","41","14","38","Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
"asv","41","14","39","And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words."
"asv","41","14","40","And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him."
"asv","41","14","41","And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."
"asv","41","14","42","Arise, let us be going: behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand."
"asv","41","14","43","And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders."
"asv","41","14","44","Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him, and lead him away safely."
"asv","41","14","45","And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi; and kissed him."
"asv","41","14","46","And they laid hands on him, and took him."
"asv","41","14","47","But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear."
"asv","41","14","48","And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me?"
"asv","41","14","49","I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled."
"asv","41","14","50","And they all left him, and fled."
"asv","41","14","51","And a certain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over  his naked  body: and they lay hold on him;"
"asv","41","14","52","but he left the linen cloth, and fled naked."
"asv","41","14","53","And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes."
"asv","41","14","54","And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light  of the fire."
"asv","41","14","55","Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found it not."
"asv","41","14","56","For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together."
"asv","41","14","57","And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,"
"asv","41","14","58","We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands."
"asv","41","14","59","And not even so did their witness agree together."
"asv","41","14","60","And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?"
"asv","41","14","61","But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
"asv","41","14","62","And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."
"asv","41","14","63","And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?"
"asv","41","14","64","Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death."
"asv","41","14","65","And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the officers received him with blows of their hands."
"asv","41","14","66","And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest;"
"asv","41","14","67","and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene,  even Jesus."
"asv","41","14","68","But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest: and he went out into the porch; and the cock crew."
"asv","41","14","69","And the maid saw him, and began again to say to them that stood by, This is  one of them."
"asv","41","14","70","But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, Of a truth thou art  one of them; for thou art a Galilæan."
"asv","41","14","71","But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak."
"asv","41","14","72","And straightway the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept."
"asv","41","15","1","And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate."
"asv","41","15","2","And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest."
"asv","41","15","3","And the chief priests accused him of many things."
"asv","41","15","4","And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of."
"asv","41","15","5","But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marvelled."
"asv","41","15","6","Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him."
"asv","41","15","7","And there was one called Barabbas,  lying bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder."
"asv","41","15","8","And the multitude went up and began to ask him  to do as he was wont to do unto them."
"asv","41","15","9","And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"
"asv","41","15","10","For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up."
"asv","41","15","11","But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them."
"asv","41","15","12","And Pilate again answered and said unto them, What then shall I do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?"
"asv","41","15","13","And they cried out again, Crucify him."
"asv","41","15","14","And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him."
"asv","41","15","15","And Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released unto them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified."
"asv","41","15","16","And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Prætorium; and they call together the whole band."
"asv","41","15","17","And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him;"
"asv","41","15","18","and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!"
"asv","41","15","19","And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him."
"asv","41","15","20","And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his garments. And they lead him out to crucify him."
"asv","41","15","21","And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go  with them, that he might bear his cross."
"asv","41","15","22","And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull."
"asv","41","15","23","And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not."
"asv","41","15","24","And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take."
"asv","41","15","25","And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."
"asv","41","15","26","And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"asv","41","15","27","And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left."
"asv","41","15","28"," + Many ancient authorities insert v. 28.   And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors."
"asv","41","15","29","And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,"
"asv","41","15","30","save thyself, and come down from the cross."
"asv","41","15","31","In like manner also the chief priests mocking  him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others; himself he cannot save."
"asv","41","15","32","Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him."
"asv","41","15","33","And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour."
"asv","41","15","34","And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
"asv","41","15","35","And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah."
"asv","41","15","36","And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down."
"asv","41","15","37","And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost."
"asv","41","15","38","And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom."
"asv","41","15","39","And when the centurion, who stood by over against him, saw that he so gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God."
"asv","41","15","40","And there were also women beholding from afar: among whom  were  both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;"
"asv","41","15","41","who, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him; and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem."
"asv","41","15","42","And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,"
"asv","41","15","43","there came Joseph of Arimathæa, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God; and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus."
"asv","41","15","44","And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead."
"asv","41","15","45","And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph."
"asv","41","15","46","And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock; and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb."
"asv","41","15","47","And Mary Magdalene and Mary the  mother of Joses beheld where he was laid."
"asv","41","16","1","And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the  mother  of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him."
"asv","41","16","2","And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen."
"asv","41","16","3","And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?"
"asv","41","16","4","and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was exceeding great."
"asv","41","16","5","And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white robe; and they were amazed."
"asv","41","16","6","And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold, the place where they laid him!"
"asv","41","16","7","But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you."
"asv","41","16","8","And they went out, and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them: and they said nothing to any one; for they were afraid."
"asv","41","16","9","Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons."
"asv","41","16","10","She went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept."
"asv","41","16","11","And they, when they heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, disbelieved."
"asv","41","16","12","And after these things he was manifested in another form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country."
"asv","41","16","13","And they went away and told it unto the rest: neither believed they them."
"asv","41","16","14","And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen."
"asv","41","16","15","And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation."
"asv","41","16","16","He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned."
"asv","41","16","17","And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;"
"asv","41","16","18","they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
"asv","41","16","19","So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God."
"asv","41","16","20","And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen."
"asv","42","1","1","Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us,"
"asv","42","1","2","even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,"
"asv","42","1","3","it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus;"
"asv","42","1","4","that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed."
"asv","42","1","5","There was in the days of Herod, king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth."
"asv","42","1","6","And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless."
"asv","42","1","7","And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were  now well stricken in years."
"asv","42","1","8","Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,"
"asv","42","1","9","according to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to enter into the temple of the Lord and burn incense."
"asv","42","1","10","And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense."
"asv","42","1","11","And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense."
"asv","42","1","12","And Zacharias was troubled when he saw  him, and fear fell upon him."
"asv","42","1","13","But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John."
"asv","42","1","14","And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth."
"asv","42","1","15","For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb."
"asv","42","1","16","And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God."
"asv","42","1","17","And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared  for him."
"asv","42","1","18","And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years."
"asv","42","1","19","And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings."
"asv","42","1","20","And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season."
"asv","42","1","21","And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the temple."
"asv","42","1","22","And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: and he continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb."
"asv","42","1","23","And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfilled, he departed unto his house."
"asv","42","1","24","And after these days Elisabeth his wife conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,"
"asv","42","1","25","Thus hath the Lord done unto me in the days wherein he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men."
"asv","42","1","26","Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,"
"asv","42","1","27","to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary."
"asv","42","1","28","And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord  is with thee."
"asv","42","1","29","But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be."
"asv","42","1","30","And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God."
"asv","42","1","31","And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."
"asv","42","1","32","He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:"
"asv","42","1","33","and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end."
"asv","42","1","34","And Mary said unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
"asv","42","1","35","And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing which is begotten shall be called the Son of God."
"asv","42","1","36","And behold, Elisabeth thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that was called barren."
"asv","42","1","37","For no word from God shall be void of power."
"asv","42","1","38","And Mary said, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her."
"asv","42","1","39","And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah;"
"asv","42","1","40","and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth."
"asv","42","1","41","And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit;"
"asv","42","1","42","and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed  is the fruit of thy womb."
"asv","42","1","43","And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me?"
"asv","42","1","44","For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy."
"asv","42","1","45","And blessed  is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord."
"asv","42","1","46","And Mary said,My soul doth magnify the Lord,"
"asv","42","1","47","And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."
"asv","42","1","48","For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid:For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed."
"asv","42","1","49","For he that is mighty hath done to me great things;And holy is his name."
"asv","42","1","50","And his mercy is unto generations and generationsOn them that fear him."
"asv","42","1","51","He hath showed strength with his arm;He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart."
"asv","42","1","52","He hath put down princes from  their thrones,And hath exalted them of low degree."
"asv","42","1","53","The hungry he hath filled with good things;And the rich he hath sent empty away."
"asv","42","1","54","He hath given help to Israel his servant,That he might remember mercy"
"asv","42","1","55","(As he spake unto our fathers)Toward Abraham and his seed for ever."
"asv","42","1","56","And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house."
"asv","42","1","57","Now Elisabeth’s time was fulfilled that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son."
"asv","42","1","58","And her neighbors and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her."
"asv","42","1","59","And it came to pass on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him Zacharias, after the name of his father."
"asv","42","1","60","And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John."
"asv","42","1","61","And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name."
"asv","42","1","62","And they made signs to his father, what he would have him called."
"asv","42","1","63","And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all."
"asv","42","1","64","And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue  loosed, and he spake, blessing God."
"asv","42","1","65","And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judæa."
"asv","42","1","66","And all that heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him."
"asv","42","1","67","And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,"
"asv","42","1","68","Blessed  be the Lord, the God of Israel;For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,"
"asv","42","1","69","And hath raised up a horn of salvation for usIn the house of his servant David"
"asv","42","1","70","(As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old),"
"asv","42","1","71","Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;"
"asv","42","1","72","To show mercy towards our fathers,And to remember his holy covenant;"
"asv","42","1","73","The oath which he sware unto Abraham our father,"
"asv","42","1","74","To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemiesShould serve him without fear,"
"asv","42","1","75","In holiness and righteousness before him all our days."
"asv","42","1","76","Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High:For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to make ready his ways;"
"asv","42","1","77","To give knowledge of salvation unto his peopleIn the remission of their sins,"
"asv","42","1","78","Because of the tender mercy of our God,Whereby the dayspring from on high shall visit us,"
"asv","42","1","79","To shine upon them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death;To guide our feet into the way of peace."
"asv","42","1","80","And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel."
"asv","42","2","1","Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled."
"asv","42","2","2","This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria."
"asv","42","2","3","And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city."
"asv","42","2","4","And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;"
"asv","42","2","5","to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child."
"asv","42","2","6","And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered."
"asv","42","2","7","And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn."
"asv","42","2","8","And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock."
"asv","42","2","9","And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid."
"asv","42","2","10","And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:"
"asv","42","2","11","for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord."
"asv","42","2","12","And this  is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger."
"asv","42","2","13","And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,"
"asv","42","2","14","Glory to God in the highest,And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased."
"asv","42","2","15","And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us."
"asv","42","2","16","And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger."
"asv","42","2","17","And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child."
"asv","42","2","18","And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds."
"asv","42","2","19","But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart."
"asv","42","2","20","And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them."
"asv","42","2","21","And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb."
"asv","42","2","22","And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord"
"asv","42","2","23","(as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),"
"asv","42","2","24","and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."
"asv","42","2","25","And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him."
"asv","42","2","26","And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ."
"asv","42","2","27","And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,"
"asv","42","2","28","then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,"
"asv","42","2","29","Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord,According to thy word, in peace;"
"asv","42","2","30","For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,"
"asv","42","2","31","Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;"
"asv","42","2","32","A light for revelation to the Gentiles,And the glory of thy people Israel."
"asv","42","2","33","And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;"
"asv","42","2","34","and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;"
"asv","42","2","35","yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed."
"asv","42","2","36","And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,"
"asv","42","2","37","and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day."
"asv","42","2","38","And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem."
"asv","42","2","39","And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth."
"asv","42","2","40","And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him."
"asv","42","2","41","And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover."
"asv","42","2","42","And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;"
"asv","42","2","43","and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not;"
"asv","42","2","44","but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day’s journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:"
"asv","42","2","45","and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him."
"asv","42","2","46","And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:"
"asv","42","2","47","and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers."
"asv","42","2","48","And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing."
"asv","42","2","49","And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father’s house?"
"asv","42","2","50","And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them."
"asv","42","2","51","And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all  these sayings in her heart."
"asv","42","2","52","And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."
"asv","42","3","1","Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituræa and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,"
"asv","42","3","2","in the highpriesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness."
"asv","42","3","3","And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins;"
"asv","42","3","4","as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight."
"asv","42","3","5","Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth;"
"asv","42","3","6","And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
"asv","42","3","7","He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"
"asv","42","3","8","Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham."
"asv","42","3","9","And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
"asv","42","3","10","And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do?"
"asv","42","3","11","And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise."
"asv","42","3","12","And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do?"
"asv","42","3","13","And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you."
"asv","42","3","14","And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse  any one  wrongfully; and be content with your wages."
"asv","42","3","15","And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;"
"asv","42","3","16","John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and  in  fire:"
"asv","42","3","17","whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
"asv","42","3","18","With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;"
"asv","42","3","19","but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,"
"asv","42","3","20","added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison."
"asv","42","3","21","Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that, Jesus also having been baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,"
"asv","42","3","22","and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form, as a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."
"asv","42","3","23","And Jesus himself, when he began  to teach, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the  son  of Heli,"
"asv","42","3","24","the  son of Matthat, the  son of Levi, the  son  of Melchi, the  son of Jannai, the  son of Joseph,"
"asv","42","3","25","the  son of Mattathias, the  son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the  son of Esli, the  son of Naggai,"
"asv","42","3","26","the  son of Maath, the  son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the  son of Josech, the  son of Joda,"
"asv","42","3","27","the  son of Joanan, the  son of Rhesa, the  son  of Zerubbabel, the  son of Shealtiel, the  son of Neri,"
"asv","42","3","28","the  son of Melchi, the  son of Addi, the  son  of Cosam, the  son of Elmadam, the  son of Er,"
"asv","42","3","29","the  son of Jesus, the  son of Eliezer, the  son of Jorim, the  son of Matthat, the  son of Levi,"
"asv","42","3","30","the  son of Symeon, the  son of Judas, the  son  of Joseph, the  son of Jonam, the  son of Eliakim,"
"asv","42","3","31","the  son of Melea, the  son of Menna, the  son  of Mattatha, the  son of Nathan, the  son of David,"
"asv","42","3","32","the  son of Jesse, the  son of Obed, the  son  of Boaz, the  son of Salmon, the  son of Nahshon,"
"asv","42","3","33","the  son of Amminadab, the  son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the  son of Perez, the  son of Judah,"
"asv","42","3","34","the  son of Jacob, the  son of Isaac, the  son  of Abraham, the  son of Terah, the  son of Nahor,"
"asv","42","3","35","the  son of Serug, the  son of Reu, the  son  of Peleg, the  son of Eber, the  son of Shelah,"
"asv","42","3","36","the  son of Cainan, the  son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the  son of Noah, the  son of Lamech,"
"asv","42","3","37","the  son of Methuselah, the  son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the  son of Mahalaleel, the  son  of Cainan,"
"asv","42","3","38","the  son of Enos, the  son of Seth, the  son  of Adam, the  son of God."
"asv","42","4","1","And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness"
"asv","42","4","2","during forty days, being tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and when they were completed, he hungered."
"asv","42","4","3","And the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread."
"asv","42","4","4","And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone."
"asv","42","4","5","And he led him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time."
"asv","42","4","6","And the devil said unto him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it."
"asv","42","4","7","If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all be thine."
"asv","42","4","8","And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
"asv","42","4","9","And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:"
"asv","42","4","10","for it is written,He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee:"
"asv","42","4","11","and,On their hands they shall bear thee up,Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone."
"asv","42","4","12","And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God."
"asv","42","4","13","And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season."
"asv","42","4","14","And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about."
"asv","42","4","15","And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all."
"asv","42","4","16","And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read."
"asv","42","4","17","And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written,"
"asv","42","4","18","The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,And recovering of sight to the blind,To set at liberty them that are bruised,"
"asv","42","4","19","To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
"asv","42","4","20","And he closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down: and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him."
"asv","42","4","21","And he began to say unto them, To-day hath this scripture been fulfilled in your ears."
"asv","42","4","22","And all bare him witness, and wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth: and they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?"
"asv","42","4","23","And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country."
"asv","42","4","24","And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is acceptable in his own country."
"asv","42","4","25","But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land;"
"asv","42","4","26","and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow."
"asv","42","4","27","And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."
"asv","42","4","28","And they were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things;"
"asv","42","4","29","and they rose up, and cast him forth out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong."
"asv","42","4","30","But he passing through the midst of them went his way."
"asv","42","4","31","And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. And he was teaching them on the sabbath day:"
"asv","42","4","32","and they were astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority."
"asv","42","4","33","And in the synagogue there was a man, that had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,"
"asv","42","4","34","Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God."
"asv","42","4","35","And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst, he came out of him, having done him no hurt."
"asv","42","4","36","And amazement came upon all, and they spake together, one with another, saying, What is this word? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out."
"asv","42","4","37","And there went forth a rumor concerning him into every place of the region round about."
"asv","42","4","38","And he rose up from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s wife’s mother was holden with a great fever; and they besought him for her."
"asv","42","4","39","And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she rose up and ministered unto them."
"asv","42","4","40","And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them."
"asv","42","4","41","And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ."
"asv","42","4","42","And when it was day, he came out and went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought after him, and came unto him, and would have stayed him, that he should not go from them."
"asv","42","4","43","But he said unto them, I must preach the good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also: for therefore was I sent."
"asv","42","4","44","And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee."
"asv","42","5","1","Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret;"
"asv","42","5","2","and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets."
"asv","42","5","3","And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat."
"asv","42","5","4","And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught."
"asv","42","5","5","And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at thy word I will let down the nets."
"asv","42","5","6","And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking;"
"asv","42","5","7","and they beckoned unto their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink."
"asv","42","5","8","But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord."
"asv","42","5","9","For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken;"
"asv","42","5","10","and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men."
"asv","42","5","11","And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him."
"asv","42","5","12","And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy: and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."
"asv","42","5","13","And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway the leprosy departed from him."
"asv","42","5","14","And he charged him to tell no man: but go thy way, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them."
"asv","42","5","15","But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities."
"asv","42","5","16","But he withdrew himself in the deserts, and prayed."
"asv","42","5","17","And it came to pass on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judæa and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was with him to heal."
"asv","42","5","18","And behold, men bring on a bed a man that was palsied: and they sought to bring him in, and to lay him before him."
"asv","42","5","19","And not finding by what  way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his couch into the midst before Jesus."
"asv","42","5","20","And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee."
"asv","42","5","21","And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
"asv","42","5","22","But Jesus perceiving their reasonings, answered and said unto them, Why reason ye in your hearts?"
"asv","42","5","23","Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?"
"asv","42","5","24","But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he said unto him that was palsied), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thy house."
"asv","42","5","25","And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his house, glorifying God."
"asv","42","5","26","And amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day."
"asv","42","5","27","And after these things he went forth, and beheld a publican, named Levi, sitting at the place of toll, and said unto him, Follow me."
"asv","42","5","28","And he forsook all, and rose up and followed him."
"asv","42","5","29","And Levi made him a great feast in his house: and there was a great multitude of publicans and of others that were sitting at meat with them."
"asv","42","5","30","And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?"
"asv","42","5","31","And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick."
"asv","42","5","32","I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."
"asv","42","5","33","And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the  disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink."
"asv","42","5","34","And Jesus said unto them, Can ye make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?"
"asv","42","5","35","But the days will come; and when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, then will they fast in those days."
"asv","42","5","36","And he spake also a parable unto them: No man rendeth a piece from a new garment and putteth it upon an old garment; else he will rend the new, and also the piece from the new will not agree with the old."
"asv","42","5","37","And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish."
"asv","42","5","38","But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins."
"asv","42","5","39","And no man having drunk old  wine desireth new; for he saith, The old is good."
"asv","42","6","1","Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands."
"asv","42","6","2","But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?"
"asv","42","6","3","And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;"
"asv","42","6","4","how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?"
"asv","42","6","5","And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath."
"asv","42","6","6","And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered."
"asv","42","6","7","And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him."
"asv","42","6","8","But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth."
"asv","42","6","9","And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?"
"asv","42","6","10","And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did  so: and his hand was restored."
"asv","42","6","11","But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus."
"asv","42","6","12","And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God."
"asv","42","6","13","And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:"
"asv","42","6","14","Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,"
"asv","42","6","15","and Matthew and Thomas, and James  the son of Alphæus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,"
"asv","42","6","16","and Judas  the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;"
"asv","42","6","17","and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judæa and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;"
"asv","42","6","18","and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed."
"asv","42","6","19","And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed  them all."
"asv","42","6","20","And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","6","21","Blessed  are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed  are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh."
"asv","42","6","22","Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you  from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake."
"asv","42","6","23","Rejoice in that day, and leap  for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets."
"asv","42","6","24","But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation."
"asv","42","6","25","Woe unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe  unto you, ye that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep."
"asv","42","6","26","Woe  unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers to the false prophets."
"asv","42","6","27","But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,"
"asv","42","6","28","bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you."
"asv","42","6","29","To him that smiteth thee on the  one cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloak withhold not thy coat also."
"asv","42","6","30","Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again."
"asv","42","6","31","And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."
"asv","42","6","32","And if ye love them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that love them."
"asv","42","6","33","And if ye do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even sinners do the same."
"asv","42","6","34","And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again as much."
"asv","42","6","35","But love your enemies, and do  them good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil."
"asv","42","6","36","Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful."
"asv","42","6","37","And judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released:"
"asv","42","6","38","give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again."
"asv","42","6","39","And he spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not both fall into a pit?"
"asv","42","6","40","The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher."
"asv","42","6","41","And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
"asv","42","6","42","Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye."
"asv","42","6","43","For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit."
"asv","42","6","44","For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes."
"asv","42","6","45","The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil  man out of the evil  treasure  bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."
"asv","42","6","46","And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
"asv","42","6","47","Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will show you to whom he is like:"
"asv","42","6","48","he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded."
"asv","42","6","49","But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great."
"asv","42","7","1","After he had ended all his sayings in the ears of the people, he entered into Capernaum."
"asv","42","7","2","And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death."
"asv","42","7","3","And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and save his servant."
"asv","42","7","4","And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him;"
"asv","42","7","5","for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue."
"asv","42","7","6","And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:"
"asv","42","7","7","wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the word, and my servant shall be healed."
"asv","42","7","8","For I also am a man set under authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."
"asv","42","7","9","And when Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel."
"asv","42","7","10","And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole."
"asv","42","7","11","And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great multitude."
"asv","42","7","12","Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her."
"asv","42","7","13","And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not."
"asv","42","7","14","And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise."
"asv","42","7","15","And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother."
"asv","42","7","16","And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people."
"asv","42","7","17","And this report went forth concerning him in the whole of Judæa, and all the region round about."
"asv","42","7","18","And the disciples of John told him of all these things."
"asv","42","7","19","And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?"
"asv","42","7","20","And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?"
"asv","42","7","21","In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind he bestowed sight."
"asv","42","7","22","And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them."
"asv","42","7","23","And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me."
"asv","42","7","24","And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?"
"asv","42","7","25","But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts."
"asv","42","7","26","But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet."
"asv","42","7","27","This is he of whom it is written,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,Who shall prepare thy way before thee."
"asv","42","7","28","I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
"asv","42","7","29","And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John."
"asv","42","7","30","But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him."
"asv","42","7","31","Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?"
"asv","42","7","32","They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep."
"asv","42","7","33","For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon."
"asv","42","7","34","The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!"
"asv","42","7","35","And wisdom is justified of all her children."
"asv","42","7","36","And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat."
"asv","42","7","37","And behold, a woman who was in the city, a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting at meat in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,"
"asv","42","7","38","and standing behind at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment."
"asv","42","7","39","Now when the Pharisee that had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner."
"asv","42","7","40","And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on."
"asv","42","7","41","A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty."
"asv","42","7","42","When they had not  wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
"asv","42","7","43","Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged."
"asv","42","7","44","And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair."
"asv","42","7","45","Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet."
"asv","42","7","46","My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment."
"asv","42","7","47","Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,  the same loveth little."
"asv","42","7","48","And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven."
"asv","42","7","49","And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?"
"asv","42","7","50","And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
"asv","42","8","1","And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good tidings of the kingdom of God, and with him the twelve,"
"asv","42","8","2","and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,"
"asv","42","8","3","and Joanna the wife of Chuzas Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered unto them of their substance."
"asv","42","8","4","And when a great multitude came together, and they of every city resorted unto him, he spake by a parable:"
"asv","42","8","5","The sower went forth to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it."
"asv","42","8","6","And other fell on the rock; and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture."
"asv","42","8","7","And other fell amidst the thorns; and the thorns grew with it, and choked it."
"asv","42","8","8","And other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"asv","42","8","9","And his disciples asked him what this parable might be."
"asv","42","8","10","And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand."
"asv","42","8","11","Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God."
"asv","42","8","12","And those by the way side are they that have heard; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved."
"asv","42","8","13","And those on the rock  are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away."
"asv","42","8","14","And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of  this life, and bring no fruit to perfection."
"asv","42","8","15","And that in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bring forth fruit with patience."
"asv","42","8","16","And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light."
"asv","42","8","17","For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor  anything  secret, that shall not be known and come to light."
"asv","42","8","18","Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath."
"asv","42","8","19","And there came to him his mother and brethren, and they could not come at him for the crowd."
"asv","42","8","20","And it was told him, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee."
"asv","42","8","21","But he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it."
"asv","42","8","22","Now it came to pass on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples; and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake: and they launched forth."
"asv","42","8","23","But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filling  with water, and were in jeopardy."
"asv","42","8","24","And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm."
"asv","42","8","25","And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And being afraid they marvelled, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
"asv","42","8","26","And they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee."
"asv","42","8","27","And when he was come forth upon the land, there met him a certain man out of the city, who had demons; and for a long time he had worn no clothes, and abode not in  any house, but in the tombs."
"asv","42","8","28","And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, torment me not."
"asv","42","8","29","For he was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For oftentimes it had seized him: and he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters; and breaking the bands asunder, he was driven of the demon into the deserts."
"asv","42","8","30","And Jesus asked him, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; for many demons were entered into him."
"asv","42","8","31","And they entreated him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss."
"asv","42","8","32","Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they entreated him that he would give them leave to enter into them. And he gave them leave."
"asv","42","8","33","And the demons came out from the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned."
"asv","42","8","34","And when they that fed them saw what had come to pass, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country."
"asv","42","8","35","And they went out to see what had come to pass; and they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons were gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid."
"asv","42","8","36","And they that saw it told them how he that was possessed with demons was made whole."
"asv","42","8","37","And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes round about asked him to depart from them; for they were holden with great fear: and he entered into a boat, and returned."
"asv","42","8","38","But the man from whom the demons were gone out prayed him that he might be with him: but he sent him away, saying,"
"asv","42","8","39","Return to thy house, and declare how great things God hath done for thee. And he went his way, publishing throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done for him."
"asv","42","8","40","And as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him."
"asv","42","8","41","And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him to come into his house;"
"asv","42","8","42","for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went the multitudes thronged him."
"asv","42","8","43","And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any,"
"asv","42","8","44","came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stanched."
"asv","42","8","45","And Jesus said, Who is it that touched me? And when all denied, Peter said, and they that were with him, Master, the multitudes press thee and crush thee."
"asv","42","8","46","But Jesus said, Some one did touch me; for I perceived that power had gone forth from me."
"asv","42","8","47","And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately."
"asv","42","8","48","And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace."
"asv","42","8","49","While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher."
"asv","42","8","50","But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made whole."
"asv","42","8","51","And when he came to the house, he suffered not any man to enter in with him, save Peter, and John, and James, and the father of the maiden and her mother."
"asv","42","8","52","And all were weeping, and bewailing her: but he said, Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth."
"asv","42","8","53","And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead."
"asv","42","8","54","But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maiden, arise."
"asv","42","8","55","And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately: and he commanded that  something be given her to eat."
"asv","42","8","56","And her parents were amazed: but he charged them to tell no man what had been done."
"asv","42","9","1","And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases."
"asv","42","9","2","And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."
"asv","42","9","3","And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats."
"asv","42","9","4","And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart."
"asv","42","9","5","And as many as receive you not, when ye depart from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
"asv","42","9","6","And they departed, and went throughout the villages, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere."
"asv","42","9","7","Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;"
"asv","42","9","8","and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again."
"asv","42","9","9","And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him."
"asv","42","9","10","And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida."
"asv","42","9","11","But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured."
"asv","42","9","12","And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: for we are here in a desert place."
"asv","42","9","13","But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people."
"asv","42","9","14","For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each."
"asv","42","9","15","And they did so, and made them all sit down."
"asv","42","9","16","And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake; and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude."
"asv","42","9","17","And they ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets."
"asv","42","9","18","And it came to pass, as he was praying apart, the disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?"
"asv","42","9","19","And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others  say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
"asv","42","9","20","And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God."
"asv","42","9","21","But he charged them, and commanded  them to tell this to no man;"
"asv","42","9","22","saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up."
"asv","42","9","23","And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."
"asv","42","9","24","For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."
"asv","42","9","25","For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?"
"asv","42","9","26","For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and  the glory  of the Father, and of the holy angels."
"asv","42","9","27","But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","9","28","And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray."
"asv","42","9","29","And as he was praying, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment  became white  and dazzling."
"asv","42","9","30","And behold, there talked with him two men, who were Moses and Elijah;"
"asv","42","9","31","who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem."
"asv","42","9","32","Now Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him."
"asv","42","9","33","And it came to pass, as they were parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said."
"asv","42","9","34","And while he said these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud."
"asv","42","9","35","And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my Son, my chosen: hear ye him."
"asv","42","9","36","And when the voice came, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of the things which they had seen."
"asv","42","9","37","And it came to pass, on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him."
"asv","42","9","38","And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:"
"asv","42","9","39","and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely."
"asv","42","9","40","And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not."
"asv","42","9","41","And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son."
"asv","42","9","42","And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father."
"asv","42","9","43","And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,"
"asv","42","9","44","Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men."
"asv","42","9","45","But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying."
"asv","42","9","46","And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest."
"asv","42","9","47","But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,"
"asv","42","9","48","and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great."
"asv","42","9","49","And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us."
"asv","42","9","50","But Jesus said unto him, Forbid  him not: for he that is not against you is for you."
"asv","42","9","51","And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,"
"asv","42","9","52","and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him."
"asv","42","9","53","And they did not receive him, because his face was  as though he were going to Jerusalem."
"asv","42","9","54","And when his disciples James and John saw  this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?"
"asv","42","9","55","But he turned, and rebuked them."
"asv","42","9","56","And they went to another village."
"asv","42","9","57","And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest."
"asv","42","9","58","And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven  have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
"asv","42","9","59","And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."
"asv","42","9","60","But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","9","61","And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house."
"asv","42","9","62","But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","10","1","Now after these things the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself was about to come."
"asv","42","10","2","And he said unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest."
"asv","42","10","3","Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves."
"asv","42","10","4","Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes; and salute no man on the way."
"asv","42","10","5","And into whatsoever house ye shall enter, first say, Peace  be  to this house."
"asv","42","10","6","And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon him: but if not, it shall turn to you again."
"asv","42","10","7","And in that same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house."
"asv","42","10","8","And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:"
"asv","42","10","9","and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."
"asv","42","10","10","But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say,"
"asv","42","10","11","Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh."
"asv","42","10","12","I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city."
"asv","42","10","13","Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."
"asv","42","10","14","But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you."
"asv","42","10","15","And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt be brought down unto Hades."
"asv","42","10","16","He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me."
"asv","42","10","17","And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name."
"asv","42","10","18","And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven."
"asv","42","10","19","Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you."
"asv","42","10","20","Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
"asv","42","10","21","In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight."
"asv","42","10","22","All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal  him."
"asv","42","10","23","And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed  are  the eyes which see the things that ye see:"
"asv","42","10","24","for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not."
"asv","42","10","25","And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
"asv","42","10","26","And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?"
"asv","42","10","27","And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself."
"asv","42","10","28","And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."
"asv","42","10","29","But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?"
"asv","42","10","30","Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead."
"asv","42","10","31","And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side."
"asv","42","10","32","And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side."
"asv","42","10","33","But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion,"
"asv","42","10","34","and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on  them  oil and wine; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him."
"asv","42","10","35","And on the morrow he took out two shillings, and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee."
"asv","42","10","36","Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbor unto him that fell among the robbers?"
"asv","42","10","37","And he said, He that showed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise."
"asv","42","10","38","Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house."
"asv","42","10","39","And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet, and heard his word."
"asv","42","10","40","But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me."
"asv","42","10","41","But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:"
"asv","42","10","42","but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
"asv","42","11","1","And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples."
"asv","42","11","2","And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come."
"asv","42","11","3","Give us day by day our daily bread."
"asv","42","11","4","And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation."
"asv","42","11","5","And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;"
"asv","42","11","6","for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;"
"asv","42","11","7","and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee?"
"asv","42","11","8","I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth."
"asv","42","11","9","And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
"asv","42","11","10","For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
"asv","42","11","11","And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?"
"asv","42","11","12","Or  if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?"
"asv","42","11","13","If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall  your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"
"asv","42","11","14","And he was casting out a demon  that was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled."
"asv","42","11","15","But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons."
"asv","42","11","16","And others, trying  him, sought of him a sign from heaven."
"asv","42","11","17","But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house  divided against a house falleth."
"asv","42","11","18","And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub."
"asv","42","11","19","And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges."
"asv","42","11","20","But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you."
"asv","42","11","21","When the strong  man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:"
"asv","42","11","22","but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils."
"asv","42","11","23","He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."
"asv","42","11","24","The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out."
"asv","42","11","25","And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished."
"asv","42","11","26","Then goeth he, and taketh  to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first."
"asv","42","11","27","And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck."
"asv","42","11","28","But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."
"asv","42","11","29","And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah."
"asv","42","11","30","For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation."
"asv","42","11","31","The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
"asv","42","11","32","The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here."
"asv","42","11","33","No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light."
"asv","42","11","34","The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness."
"asv","42","11","35","Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness."
"asv","42","11","36","If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light."
"asv","42","11","37","Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat."
"asv","42","11","38","And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner."
"asv","42","11","39","And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness."
"asv","42","11","40","Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?"
"asv","42","11","41","But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you."
"asv","42","11","42","But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
"asv","42","11","43","Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces."
"asv","42","11","44","Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over  them know it not."
"asv","42","11","45","And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also."
"asv","42","11","46","And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers."
"asv","42","11","47","Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them."
"asv","42","11","48","So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build  their tombs."
"asv","42","11","49","Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and  some of them they shall kill and persecute;"
"asv","42","11","50","that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;"
"asv","42","11","51","from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation."
"asv","42","11","52","Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered."
"asv","42","11","53","And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon  him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;"
"asv","42","11","54","laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth."
"asv","42","12","1","In the mean time, when the many thousands of the multitude were gathered together, insomuch that they trod one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
"asv","42","12","2","But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."
"asv","42","12","3","Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."
"asv","42","12","4","And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do."
"asv","42","12","5","But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him."
"asv","42","12","6","Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God."
"asv","42","12","7","But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
"asv","42","12","8","And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:"
"asv","42","12","9","but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God."
"asv","42","12","10","And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven."
"asv","42","12","11","And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:"
"asv","42","12","12","for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say."
"asv","42","12","13","And one out of the multitude said unto him, Teacher, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me."
"asv","42","12","14","But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?"
"asv","42","12","15","And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."
"asv","42","12","16","And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:"
"asv","42","12","17","and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?"
"asv","42","12","18","And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods."
"asv","42","12","19","And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry."
"asv","42","12","20","But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?"
"asv","42","12","21","So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
"asv","42","12","22","And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for  your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on."
"asv","42","12","23","For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment."
"asv","42","12","24","Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!"
"asv","42","12","25","And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life?"
"asv","42","12","26","If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?"
"asv","42","12","27","Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
"asv","42","12","28","But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more  shall he clothe  you, O ye of little faith?"
"asv","42","12","29","And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind."
"asv","42","12","30","For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things."
"asv","42","12","31","Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you."
"asv","42","12","32","Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
"asv","42","12","33","Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth."
"asv","42","12","34","For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
"asv","42","12","35","Let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning;"
"asv","42","12","36","and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him."
"asv","42","12","37","Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them."
"asv","42","12","38","And if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, blessed are those  servants."
"asv","42","12","39","But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have left his house to be broken through."
"asv","42","12","40","Be ye also ready: for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh."
"asv","42","12","41","And Peter said, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even unto all?"
"asv","42","12","42","And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall set over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?"
"asv","42","12","43","Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing."
"asv","42","12","44","Of a truth I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath."
"asv","42","12","45","But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;"
"asv","42","12","46","the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful."
"asv","42","12","47","And that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many  stripes;"
"asv","42","12","48","but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few  stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more."
"asv","42","12","49","I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what do I desire, if it is already kindled?"
"asv","42","12","50","But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!"
"asv","42","12","51","Think ye that I am come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:"
"asv","42","12","52","for there shall be from henceforth five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three."
"asv","42","12","53","They shall be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother in law against her daughter in law, and daughter in law against her mother in law."
"asv","42","12","54","And he said to the multitudes also, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass."
"asv","42","12","55","And when  ye see a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass."
"asv","42","12","56","Ye hypocrites, ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time?"
"asv","42","12","57","And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
"asv","42","12","58","For as thou art going with thine adversary before the magistrate, on the way give diligence to be quit of him; lest haply he drag thee unto the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer shall cast thee into prison."
"asv","42","12","59","I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the very last mite."
"asv","42","13","1","Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices."
"asv","42","13","2","And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they have suffered these things?"
"asv","42","13","3","I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish."
"asv","42","13","4","Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?"
"asv","42","13","5","I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
"asv","42","13","6","And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none."
"asv","42","13","7","And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground?"
"asv","42","13","8","And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:"
"asv","42","13","9","and if it bear fruit thenceforth,  well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down."
"asv","42","13","10","And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day."
"asv","42","13","11","And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up."
"asv","42","13","12","And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity."
"asv","42","13","13","And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God."
"asv","42","13","14","And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath."
"asv","42","13","15","But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?"
"asv","42","13","16","And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo,  these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?"
"asv","42","13","17","And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him."
"asv","42","13","18","He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it?"
"asv","42","13","19","It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof."
"asv","42","13","20","And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?"
"asv","42","13","21","It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened."
"asv","42","13","22","And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem."
"asv","42","13","23","And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them,"
"asv","42","13","24","Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able."
"asv","42","13","25","When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;"
"asv","42","13","26","then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets;"
"asv","42","13","27","and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity."
"asv","42","13","28","There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves cast forth without."
"asv","42","13","29","And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","13","30","And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last."
"asv","42","13","31","In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee."
"asv","42","13","32","And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third  day I am perfected."
"asv","42","13","33","Nevertheless I must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem."
"asv","42","13","34","O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen  gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!"
"asv","42","13","35","Behold, your house is left unto you  desolate: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
"asv","42","14","1","And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him."
"asv","42","14","2","And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy."
"asv","42","14","3","And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?"
"asv","42","14","4","But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go."
"asv","42","14","5","And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?"
"asv","42","14","6","And they could not answer again unto these things."
"asv","42","14","7","And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,"
"asv","42","14","8","When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,"
"asv","42","14","9","and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place."
"asv","42","14","10","But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee."
"asv","42","14","11","For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
"asv","42","14","12","And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee."
"asv","42","14","13","But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:"
"asv","42","14","14","and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not  wherewith  to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just."
"asv","42","14","15","And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","14","16","But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:"
"asv","42","14","17","and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for  all things are now ready."
"asv","42","14","18","And they all with one  consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused."
"asv","42","14","19","And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused."
"asv","42","14","20","And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come."
"asv","42","14","21","And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame."
"asv","42","14","22","And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room."
"asv","42","14","23","And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain  them to come in, that my house may be filled."
"asv","42","14","24","For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper."
"asv","42","14","25","Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,"
"asv","42","14","26","If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
"asv","42","14","27","Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple."
"asv","42","14","28","For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have  wherewith to complete it?"
"asv","42","14","29","Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,"
"asv","42","14","30","saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish."
"asv","42","14","31","Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?"
"asv","42","14","32","Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace."
"asv","42","14","33","So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."
"asv","42","14","34","Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?"
"asv","42","14","35","It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill:  men  cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
"asv","42","15","1","Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him."
"asv","42","15","2","And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them."
"asv","42","15","3","And he spake unto them this parable, saying,"
"asv","42","15","4","What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?"
"asv","42","15","5","And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing."
"asv","42","15","6","And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost."
"asv","42","15","7","I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,  more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance."
"asv","42","15","8","Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?"
"asv","42","15","9","And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost."
"asv","42","15","10","Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
"asv","42","15","11","And he said, A certain man had two sons:"
"asv","42","15","12","and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of  thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living."
"asv","42","15","13","And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living."
"asv","42","15","14","And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want."
"asv","42","15","15","And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine."
"asv","42","15","16","And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him."
"asv","42","15","17","But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!"
"asv","42","15","18","I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:"
"asv","42","15","19","I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants."
"asv","42","15","20","And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him."
"asv","42","15","21","And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son."
"asv","42","15","22","But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:"
"asv","42","15","23","and bring the fatted calf,  and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry:"
"asv","42","15","24","for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry."
"asv","42","15","25","Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing."
"asv","42","15","26","And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be."
"asv","42","15","27","And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound."
"asv","42","15","28","But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him."
"asv","42","15","29","But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and  yet  thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:"
"asv","42","15","30","but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf."
"asv","42","15","31","And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine."
"asv","42","15","32","But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive  again; and  was lost, and is found."
"asv","42","16","1","And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods."
"asv","42","16","2","And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward."
"asv","42","16","3","And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed."
"asv","42","16","4","I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses."
"asv","42","16","5","And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?"
"asv","42","16","6","And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty."
"asv","42","16","7","Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore."
"asv","42","16","8","And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light."
"asv","42","16","9","And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles."
"asv","42","16","10","He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much."
"asv","42","16","11","If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true  riches?"
"asv","42","16","12","And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?"
"asv","42","16","13","No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"asv","42","16","14","And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him."
"asv","42","16","15","And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God."
"asv","42","16","16","The law and the prophets  were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it."
"asv","42","16","17","But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall."
"asv","42","16","18","Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery."
"asv","42","16","19","Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:"
"asv","42","16","20","and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,"
"asv","42","16","21","and desiring to be fed with the  crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores."
"asv","42","16","22","And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried."
"asv","42","16","23","And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."
"asv","42","16","24","And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame."
"asv","42","16","25","But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish."
"asv","42","16","26","And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us."
"asv","42","16","27","And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;"
"asv","42","16","28","for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment."
"asv","42","16","29","But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them."
"asv","42","16","30","And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent."
"asv","42","16","31","And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead."
"asv","42","17","1","And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling should come; but woe unto him, through whom they come!"
"asv","42","17","2","It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble."
"asv","42","17","3","Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him."
"asv","42","17","4","And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."
"asv","42","17","5","And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith."
"asv","42","17","6","And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you."
"asv","42","17","7","But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat;"
"asv","42","17","8","and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?"
"asv","42","17","9","Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded?"
"asv","42","17","10","Even so ye also, when ye shall have done all the things that are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which it was our duty to do."
"asv","42","17","11","And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee."
"asv","42","17","12","And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off:"
"asv","42","17","13","and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
"asv","42","17","14","And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed."
"asv","42","17","15","And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God;"
"asv","42","17","16","and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan."
"asv","42","17","17","And Jesus answering said, Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?"
"asv","42","17","18","Were there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger?"
"asv","42","17","19","And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole."
"asv","42","17","20","And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:"
"asv","42","17","21","neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you."
"asv","42","17","22","And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it."
"asv","42","17","23","And they shall say to you, Lo, there! Lo, here! go not away, nor follow after  them:"
"asv","42","17","24","for as the lightning, when it lighteneth out of the one part under the heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall the Son of man be in his day."
"asv","42","17","25","But first must he suffer many things and be rejected of this generation."
"asv","42","17","26","And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man."
"asv","42","17","27","They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
"asv","42","17","28","Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;"
"asv","42","17","29","but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:"
"asv","42","17","30","after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed."
"asv","42","17","31","In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back."
"asv","42","17","32","Remember Lot’s wife."
"asv","42","17","33","Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose  his life shall preserve it."
"asv","42","17","34","I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left."
"asv","42","17","35","There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left."
"asv","42","17","36"," + Some ancient authorities add v. 36.  There shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left."
"asv","42","17","37","And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body  is, thither will the eagles also be gathered together."
"asv","42","18","1","And he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint;"
"asv","42","18","2","saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man:"
"asv","42","18","3","and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary."
"asv","42","18","4","And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;"
"asv","42","18","5","yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming."
"asv","42","18","6","And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith."
"asv","42","18","7","And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?"
"asv","42","18","8","I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
"asv","42","18","9","And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought:"
"asv","42","18","10","Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican."
"asv","42","18","11","The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican."
"asv","42","18","12","I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get."
"asv","42","18","13","But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner."
"asv","42","18","14","I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
"asv","42","18","15","And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them."
"asv","42","18","16","But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","18","17","Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein."
"asv","42","18","18","And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
"asv","42","18","19","And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one,  even God."
"asv","42","18","20","Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother."
"asv","42","18","21","And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up."
"asv","42","18","22","And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me."
"asv","42","18","23","But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich."
"asv","42","18","24","And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!"
"asv","42","18","25","For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","18","26","And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved?"
"asv","42","18","27","But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."
"asv","42","18","28","And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee."
"asv","42","18","29","And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,"
"asv","42","18","30","who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life."
"asv","42","18","31","And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man."
"asv","42","18","32","For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon:"
"asv","42","18","33","and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again."
"asv","42","18","34","And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said."
"asv","42","18","35","And it came to pass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:"
"asv","42","18","36","and hearing a multitude going by, he inquired what this meant."
"asv","42","18","37","And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
"asv","42","18","38","And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"asv","42","18","39","And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me."
"asv","42","18","40","And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,"
"asv","42","18","41","What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight."
"asv","42","18","42","And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole."
"asv","42","18","43","And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God."
"asv","42","19","1","And he entered and was passing through Jericho."
"asv","42","19","2","And behold, a man called by name Zacchæus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich."
"asv","42","19","3","And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature."
"asv","42","19","4","And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way."
"asv","42","19","5","And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house."
"asv","42","19","6","And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully."
"asv","42","19","7","And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner."
"asv","42","19","8","And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold."
"asv","42","19","9","And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham."
"asv","42","19","10","For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
"asv","42","19","11","And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and  because they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear."
"asv","42","19","12","He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return."
"asv","42","19","13","And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye  herewith till I come."
"asv","42","19","14","But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us."
"asv","42","19","15","And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading."
"asv","42","19","16","And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more."
"asv","42","19","17","And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities."
"asv","42","19","18","And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds."
"asv","42","19","19","And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities."
"asv","42","19","20","And another came, saying, Lord, behold,  here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:"
"asv","42","19","21","for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow."
"asv","42","19","22","He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;"
"asv","42","19","23","then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?"
"asv","42","19","24","And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds."
"asv","42","19","25","And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds."
"asv","42","19","26","I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him."
"asv","42","19","27","But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."
"asv","42","19","28","And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem."
"asv","42","19","29","And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,"
"asv","42","19","30","saying, Go your way into the village over against  you; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him."
"asv","42","19","31","And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him."
"asv","42","19","32","And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them."
"asv","42","19","33","And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?"
"asv","42","19","34","And they said, The Lord hath need of him."
"asv","42","19","35","And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon."
"asv","42","19","36","And as he went, they spread their garments in the way."
"asv","42","19","37","And as he was now drawing nigh,  even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;"
"asv","42","19","38","saying, Blessed  is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
"asv","42","19","39","And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples."
"asv","42","19","40","And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out."
"asv","42","19","41","And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,"
"asv","42","19","42","saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes."
"asv","42","19","43","For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,"
"asv","42","19","44","and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation."
"asv","42","19","45","And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,"
"asv","42","19","46","saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers."
"asv","42","19","47","And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:"
"asv","42","19","48","and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening."
"asv","42","20","1","And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;"
"asv","42","20","2","and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?"
"asv","42","20","3","And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:"
"asv","42","20","4","The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?"
"asv","42","20","5","And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?"
"asv","42","20","6","But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
"asv","42","20","7","And they answered, that they knew not whence  it was."
"asv","42","20","8","And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things."
"asv","42","20","9","And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time."
"asv","42","20","10","And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty."
"asv","42","20","11","And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty."
"asv","42","20","12","And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth."
"asv","42","20","13","And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him."
"asv","42","20","14","But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours."
"asv","42","20","15","And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?"
"asv","42","20","16","He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid."
"asv","42","20","17","But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written,The stone which the builders rejected,The same was made the head of the corner?"
"asv","42","20","18","Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust."
"asv","42","20","19","And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them."
"asv","42","20","20","And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor."
"asv","42","20","21","And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person  of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God:"
"asv","42","20","22","Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?"
"asv","42","20","23","But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,"
"asv","42","20","24","Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’s."
"asv","42","20","25","And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s."
"asv","42","20","26","And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace."
"asv","42","20","27","And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;"
"asv","42","20","28","and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."
"asv","42","20","29","There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;"
"asv","42","20","30","and the second:"
"asv","42","20","31","and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died."
"asv","42","20","32","Afterward the woman also died."
"asv","42","20","33","In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife."
"asv","42","20","34","And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:"
"asv","42","20","35","but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:"
"asv","42","20","36","for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection."
"asv","42","20","37","But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in  the place concerning the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
"asv","42","20","38","Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him."
"asv","42","20","39","And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said."
"asv","42","20","40","For they durst not any more ask him any question."
"asv","42","20","41","And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?"
"asv","42","20","42","For David himself saith in the book of Psalms,The Lord said unto my Lord,Sit thou on my right hand,"
"asv","42","20","43","Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet."
"asv","42","20","44","David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?"
"asv","42","20","45","And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,"
"asv","42","20","46","Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;"
"asv","42","20","47","who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation."
"asv","42","21","1","And he looked up, and saw the rich men that were casting their gifts into the treasury."
"asv","42","21","2","And he saw a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites."
"asv","42","21","3","And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than they all:"
"asv","42","21","4","for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had."
"asv","42","21","5","And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and offerings, he said,"
"asv","42","21","6","As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
"asv","42","21","7","And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these things be? and what  shall be the sign when these things are about to come to pass?"
"asv","42","21","8","And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am  he; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them."
"asv","42","21","9","And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these things must needs come to pass first; but the end is not immediately."
"asv","42","21","10","Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;"
"asv","42","21","11","and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven."
"asv","42","21","12","But before all these things, they shall lay their hands on you, and shall persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake."
"asv","42","21","13","It shall turn out unto you for a testimony."
"asv","42","21","14","Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer:"
"asv","42","21","15","for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to withstand or to gainsay."
"asv","42","21","16","But ye shall be delivered up even by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and  some of you shall they cause to be put to death."
"asv","42","21","17","And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake."
"asv","42","21","18","And not a hair of your head shall perish."
"asv","42","21","19","In your patience ye shall win your souls."
"asv","42","21","20","But when ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand."
"asv","42","21","21","Then let them that are in Judæa flee unto the mountains; and let them that are in the midst of her depart out; and let not them that are in the country enter therein."
"asv","42","21","22","For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled."
"asv","42","21","23","Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people."
"asv","42","21","24","And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."
"asv","42","21","25","And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows;"
"asv","42","21","26","men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken."
"asv","42","21","27","And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory."
"asv","42","21","28","But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh."
"asv","42","21","29","And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:"
"asv","42","21","30","when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh."
"asv","42","21","31","Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh."
"asv","42","21","32","Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished."
"asv","42","21","33","Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."
"asv","42","21","34","But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare:"
"asv","42","21","35","for  so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth."
"asv","42","21","36","But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
"asv","42","21","37","And every day he was teaching in the temple; and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet."
"asv","42","21","38","And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him."
"asv","42","22","1","Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover."
"asv","42","22","2","And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death; for they feared the people."
"asv","42","22","3","And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve."
"asv","42","22","4","And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them."
"asv","42","22","5","And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money."
"asv","42","22","6","And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude."
"asv","42","22","7","And the day of unleavened bread came, on which the passover must be sacrificed."
"asv","42","22","8","And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and make ready for us the passover, that we may eat."
"asv","42","22","9","And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready?"
"asv","42","22","10","And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house whereinto he goeth."
"asv","42","22","11","And ye shall say unto the master of the house, The Teacher saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"
"asv","42","22","12","And he will show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready."
"asv","42","22","13","And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover."
"asv","42","22","14","And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him."
"asv","42","22","15","And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:"
"asv","42","22","16","for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
"asv","42","22","17","And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:"
"asv","42","22","18","for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come."
"asv","42","22","19","And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."
"asv","42","22","20","And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood,  even that which is poured out for you."
"asv","42","22","21","But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table."
"asv","42","22","22","For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!"
"asv","42","22","23","And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing."
"asv","42","22","24","And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest."
"asv","42","22","25","And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called Benefactors."
"asv","42","22","26","But ye  shall not  be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve."
"asv","42","22","27","For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth."
"asv","42","22","28","But ye are they that have continued with me in my temptations;"
"asv","42","22","29","and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,"
"asv","42","22","30","that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
"asv","42","22","31","Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat:"
"asv","42","22","32","but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren."
"asv","42","22","33","And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death."
"asv","42","22","34","And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, until thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me."
"asv","42","22","35","And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing."
"asv","42","22","36","And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword."
"asv","42","22","37","For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors: for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment."
"asv","42","22","38","And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough."
"asv","42","22","39","And he came out, and went, as his custom was, unto the mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him."
"asv","42","22","40","And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation."
"asv","42","22","41","And he was parted from them about a stone’s cast; and he kneeled down and prayed,"
"asv","42","22","42","saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."
"asv","42","22","43","And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him."
"asv","42","22","44","And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground."
"asv","42","22","45","And when he rose up from his prayer, he came unto the disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow,"
"asv","42","22","46","and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation."
"asv","42","22","47","While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him."
"asv","42","22","48","But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?"
"asv","42","22","49","And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?"
"asv","42","22","50","And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear."
"asv","42","22","51","But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye  them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him."
"asv","42","22","52","And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?"
"asv","42","22","53","When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."
"asv","42","22","54","And they seized him, and led him  away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off."
"asv","42","22","55","And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them."
"asv","42","22","56","And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light  of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him."
"asv","42","22","57","But he denied, saying, Woman, I know him not."
"asv","42","22","58","And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou also art one of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not."
"asv","42","22","59","And after the space of about one hour another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilæan."
"asv","42","22","60","But Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew."
"asv","42","22","61","And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow this day thou shalt deny me thrice."
"asv","42","22","62","And he went out, and wept bitterly."
"asv","42","22","63","And the men that held  Jesus mocked him, and beat him."
"asv","42","22","64","And they blindfolded him, and asked him, saying, Prophesy: who is he that struck thee?"
"asv","42","22","65","And many other things spake they against him, reviling him."
"asv","42","22","66","And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,"
"asv","42","22","67","If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:"
"asv","42","22","68","and if I ask  you, ye will not answer."
"asv","42","22","69","But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
"asv","42","22","70","And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am."
"asv","42","22","71","And they said, What further need have we of witness? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
"asv","42","23","1","And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate."
"asv","42","23","2","And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cæsar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."
"asv","42","23","3","And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest."
"asv","42","23","4","And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man."
"asv","42","23","5","But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judæa, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place."
"asv","42","23","6","But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan."
"asv","42","23","7","And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days."
"asv","42","23","8","Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him."
"asv","42","23","9","And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing."
"asv","42","23","10","And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him."
"asv","42","23","11","And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate."
"asv","42","23","12","And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves."
"asv","42","23","13","And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,"
"asv","42","23","14","and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:"
"asv","42","23","15","no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him."
"asv","42","23","16","I will therefore chastise him, and release him."
"asv","42","23","17"," + Many ancient authorities insert v. 17.  Now he must needs release unto them at the feast one prisoner. "
"asv","42","23","18","But they cried out all together, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:—"
"asv","42","23","19","one who for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison."
"asv","42","23","20","And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus;"
"asv","42","23","21","but they shouted, saying, Crucify, crucify him."
"asv","42","23","22","And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him and release him."
"asv","42","23","23","But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed."
"asv","42","23","24","And Pilate gave sentence that what they asked for should be done."
"asv","42","23","25","And he released him that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will."
"asv","42","23","26","And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and laid on him the cross, to bear it after Jesus."
"asv","42","23","27","And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him."
"asv","42","23","28","But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children."
"asv","42","23","29","For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck."
"asv","42","23","30","Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us."
"asv","42","23","31","For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
"asv","42","23","32","And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death."
"asv","42","23","33","And when they came unto the place which is called The skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left."
"asv","42","23","34","And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots."
"asv","42","23","35","And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also scoffed at him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen."
"asv","42","23","36","And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar,"
"asv","42","23","37","and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself."
"asv","42","23","38","And there was also a superscription over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"asv","42","23","39","And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us."
"asv","42","23","40","But the other answered, and rebuking him said, Dost thou not even fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?"
"asv","42","23","41","And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss."
"asv","42","23","42","And he said, Jesus, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom."
"asv","42","23","43","And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise."
"asv","42","23","44","And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour,"
"asv","42","23","45","the sun’s light failing: and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst."
"asv","42","23","46","And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said this, he gave up the ghost."
"asv","42","23","47","And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man."
"asv","42","23","48","And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts."
"asv","42","23","49","And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things."
"asv","42","23","50","And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man"
"asv","42","23","51","(he had not consented to their counsel and deed),  a man of Arimathæa, a city of the Jews, who was looking for the kingdom of God:"
"asv","42","23","52","this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus."
"asv","42","23","53","And he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that was hewn in stone, where never man had yet lain."
"asv","42","23","54","And it was the day of the Preparation, and the sabbath drew on."
"asv","42","23","55","And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid."
"asv","42","23","56","And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment."
"asv","42","24","1","But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared."
"asv","42","24","2","And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb."
"asv","42","24","3","And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus."
"asv","42","24","4","And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel:"
"asv","42","24","5","and as they were affrighted and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
"asv","42","24","6","He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,"
"asv","42","24","7","saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."
"asv","42","24","8","And they remembered his words,"
"asv","42","24","9","and returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest."
"asv","42","24","10","Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the  mother  of James: and the other women with them told these things unto the apostles."
"asv","42","24","11","And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them."
"asv","42","24","12","But Peter arose, and ran unto the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths by themselves; and he departed to his home, wondering at that which was come to pass."
"asv","42","24","13","And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem."
"asv","42","24","14","And they communed with each other of all these things which had happened."
"asv","42","24","15","And it came to pass, while they communed and questioned together, that Jesus himself drew near, and went with them."
"asv","42","24","16","But their eyes were holden that they should not know him."
"asv","42","24","17","And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sad."
"asv","42","24","18","And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to pass there in these days?"
"asv","42","24","19","And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:"
"asv","42","24","20","and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him."
"asv","42","24","21","But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass."
"asv","42","24","22","Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb;"
"asv","42","24","23","and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive."
"asv","42","24","24","And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not."
"asv","42","24","25","And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!"
"asv","42","24","26","Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?"
"asv","42","24","27","And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."
"asv","42","24","28","And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further."
"asv","42","24","29","And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them."
"asv","42","24","30","And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking  it he gave to them."
"asv","42","24","31","And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight."
"asv","42","24","32","And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?"
"asv","42","24","33","And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,"
"asv","42","24","34","saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon."
"asv","42","24","35","And they rehearsed the things  that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread."
"asv","42","24","36","And as they spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace  be unto you."
"asv","42","24","37","But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit."
"asv","42","24","38","And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do questionings arise in your heart?"
"asv","42","24","39","See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having."
"asv","42","24","40","And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet."
"asv","42","24","41","And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here anything to eat?"
"asv","42","24","42","And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish."
"asv","42","24","43","And he took it, and ate before them."
"asv","42","24","44","And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me."
"asv","42","24","45","Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures;"
"asv","42","24","46","and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day;"
"asv","42","24","47","and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem."
"asv","42","24","48","Ye are witnesses of these things."
"asv","42","24","49","And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high."
"asv","42","24","50","And he led them out until  they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them."
"asv","42","24","51","And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven."
"asv","42","24","52","And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:"
"asv","42","24","53","and were continually in the temple, blessing God."
"asv","43","1","1","In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"asv","43","1","2","The same was in the beginning with God."
"asv","43","1","3","All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made."
"asv","43","1","4","In him was life; and the life was the light of men."
"asv","43","1","5","And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not."
"asv","43","1","6","There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John."
"asv","43","1","7","The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him."
"asv","43","1","8","He was not the light, but  came that he might bear witness of the light."
"asv","43","1","9","There was the true light,  even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world."
"asv","43","1","10","He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not."
"asv","43","1","11","He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not."
"asv","43","1","12","But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God,  even to them that believe on his name:"
"asv","43","1","13","who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
"asv","43","1","14","And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth."
"asv","43","1","15","John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me."
"asv","43","1","16","For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace."
"asv","43","1","17","For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."
"asv","43","1","18","No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared  him."
"asv","43","1","19","And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?"
"asv","43","1","20","And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ."
"asv","43","1","21","And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No."
"asv","43","1","22","They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?"
"asv","43","1","23","He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet."
"asv","43","1","24","And they had been sent from the Pharisees."
"asv","43","1","25","And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?"
"asv","43","1","26","John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,"
"asv","43","1","27"," even he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose."
"asv","43","1","28","These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing."
"asv","43","1","29","On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!"
"asv","43","1","30","This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me."
"asv","43","1","31","And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water."
"asv","43","1","32","And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him."
"asv","43","1","33","And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit."
"asv","43","1","34","And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God."
"asv","43","1","35","Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;"
"asv","43","1","36","and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!"
"asv","43","1","37","And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus."
"asv","43","1","38","And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou?"
"asv","43","1","39","He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour."
"asv","43","1","40","One of the two that heard John  speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother."
"asv","43","1","41","He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ)."
"asv","43","1","42","He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)."
"asv","43","1","43","On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me."
"asv","43","1","44","Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter."
"asv","43","1","45","Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
"asv","43","1","46","And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see."
"asv","43","1","47","Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!"
"asv","43","1","48","Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee."
"asv","43","1","49","Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel."
"asv","43","1","50","Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these."
"asv","43","1","51","And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."
"asv","43","2","1","And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:"
"asv","43","2","2","and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage."
"asv","43","2","3","And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine."
"asv","43","2","4","And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come."
"asv","43","2","5","His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."
"asv","43","2","6","Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews’ manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece."
"asv","43","2","7","Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim."
"asv","43","2","8","And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it."
"asv","43","2","9","And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom,"
"asv","43","2","10","and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely,  then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now."
"asv","43","2","11","This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him."
"asv","43","2","12","After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they abode not many days."
"asv","43","2","13","And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
"asv","43","2","14","And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:"
"asv","43","2","15","and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew their tables;"
"asv","43","2","16","and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise."
"asv","43","2","17","His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up."
"asv","43","2","18","The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?"
"asv","43","2","19","Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
"asv","43","2","20","The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?"
"asv","43","2","21","But he spake of the temple of his body."
"asv","43","2","22","When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said."
"asv","43","2","23","Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did."
"asv","43","2","24","But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,"
"asv","43","2","25","and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man."
"asv","43","3","1","Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:"
"asv","43","3","2","the same came unto him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him."
"asv","43","3","3","Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
"asv","43","3","4","Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?"
"asv","43","3","5","Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
"asv","43","3","6","That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
"asv","43","3","7","Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew."
"asv","43","3","8","The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
"asv","43","3","9","Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?"
"asv","43","3","10","Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou the teacher of Israel, and understandest not these things?"
"asv","43","3","11","Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness."
"asv","43","3","12","If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?"
"asv","43","3","13","And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven,  even the Son of man, who is in heaven."
"asv","43","3","14","And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up;"
"asv","43","3","15","that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life."
"asv","43","3","16","For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life."
"asv","43","3","17","For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him."
"asv","43","3","18","He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God."
"asv","43","3","19","And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil."
"asv","43","3","20","For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved."
"asv","43","3","21","But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God."
"asv","43","3","22","After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judæa; and there he tarried with them, and baptized."
"asv","43","3","23","And John also was baptizing in Ænon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized."
"asv","43","3","24","For John was not yet cast into prison."
"asv","43","3","25","There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying."
"asv","43","3","26","And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him."
"asv","43","3","27","John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven."
"asv","43","3","28","Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him."
"asv","43","3","29","He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is made full."
"asv","43","3","30","He must increase, but I must decrease."
"asv","43","3","31","He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all."
"asv","43","3","32","What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness; and no man receiveth his witness."
"asv","43","3","33","He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to  this, that God is true."
"asv","43","3","34","For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure."
"asv","43","3","35","The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand."
"asv","43","3","36","He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him."
"asv","43","4","1","When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John"
"asv","43","4","2","(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),"
"asv","43","4","3","he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee."
"asv","43","4","4","And he must needs pass through Samaria."
"asv","43","4","5","So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:"
"asv","43","4","6","and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour."
"asv","43","4","7","There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink."
"asv","43","4","8","For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food."
"asv","43","4","9","The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)"
"asv","43","4","10","Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water."
"asv","43","4","11","The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?"
"asv","43","4","12","Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?"
"asv","43","4","13","Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:"
"asv","43","4","14","but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life."
"asv","43","4","15","The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw."
"asv","43","4","16","Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither."
"asv","43","4","17","The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:"
"asv","43","4","18","for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly."
"asv","43","4","19","The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet."
"asv","43","4","20","Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
"asv","43","4","21","Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father."
"asv","43","4","22","Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews."
"asv","43","4","23","But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers."
"asv","43","4","24","God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
"asv","43","4","25","The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things."
"asv","43","4","26","Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am  he."
"asv","43","4","27","And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?"
"asv","43","4","28","So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,"
"asv","43","4","29","Come, see a man, who told me all things that  ever I did: can this be the Christ?"
"asv","43","4","30","They went out of the city, and were coming to him."
"asv","43","4","31","In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat."
"asv","43","4","32","But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not."
"asv","43","4","33","The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?"
"asv","43","4","34","Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work."
"asv","43","4","35","Say not ye, There are yet four months, and  then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest."
"asv","43","4","36","He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together."
"asv","43","4","37","For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth."
"asv","43","4","38","I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor."
"asv","43","4","39","And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that  ever  I did."
"asv","43","4","40","So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days."
"asv","43","4","41","And many more believed because of his word;"
"asv","43","4","42","and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world."
"asv","43","4","43","And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee."
"asv","43","4","44","For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country."
"asv","43","4","45","So when he came into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast."
"asv","43","4","46","He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum."
"asv","43","4","47","When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought  him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death."
"asv","43","4","48","Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe."
"asv","43","4","49","The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die."
"asv","43","4","50","Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way."
"asv","43","4","51","And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived."
"asv","43","4","52","So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
"asv","43","4","53","So the father knew that  it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house."
"asv","43","4","54","This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judæa into Galilee."
"asv","43","5","1","After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem."
"asv","43","5","2","Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep  gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches."
"asv","43","5","3","In these lay a multitude of them that were sick, blind, halt, withered + Many ancient authorities insert, wholly or in part, waiting for the moving of the water.."
"asv","43","5","4"," + Many ancient authorities insert, wholly or in part,  for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the waters stepped in was made whole, with whatsoever disease he was holden."
"asv","43","5","5","And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity."
"asv","43","5","6","When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole?"
"asv","43","5","7","The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me."
"asv","43","5","8","Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk."
"asv","43","5","9","And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day."
"asv","43","5","10","So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed."
"asv","43","5","11","But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk."
"asv","43","5","12","They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up  thy bed, and walk?"
"asv","43","5","13","But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in the place."
"asv","43","5","14","Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee."
"asv","43","5","15","The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole."
"asv","43","5","16","And for this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath."
"asv","43","5","17","But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh even until now, and I work."
"asv","43","5","18","For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God."
"asv","43","5","19","Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner."
"asv","43","5","20","For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and greater works than these will he show him, that ye may marvel."
"asv","43","5","21","For as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, even so the Son also giveth life to whom he will."
"asv","43","5","22","For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;"
"asv","43","5","23","that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him."
"asv","43","5","24","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life."
"asv","43","5","25","Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live."
"asv","43","5","26","For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself:"
"asv","43","5","27","and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man."
"asv","43","5","28","Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,"
"asv","43","5","29","and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment."
"asv","43","5","30","I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me."
"asv","43","5","31","If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true."
"asv","43","5","32","It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true."
"asv","43","5","33","Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness unto the truth."
"asv","43","5","34","But the witness which I receive is not from man: howbeit I say these things, that ye may be saved."
"asv","43","5","35","He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light."
"asv","43","5","36","But the witness which I have is greater than  that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me."
"asv","43","5","37","And the Father that sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form."
"asv","43","5","38","And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not."
"asv","43","5","39","Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and these are they which bear witness of me;"
"asv","43","5","40","and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life."
"asv","43","5","41","I receive not glory from men."
"asv","43","5","42","But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves."
"asv","43","5","43","I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive."
"asv","43","5","44","How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?"
"asv","43","5","45","Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you,  even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope."
"asv","43","5","46","For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me."
"asv","43","5","47","But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"
"asv","43","6","1","After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is  the sea of Tiberias."
"asv","43","6","2","And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick."
"asv","43","6","3","And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples."
"asv","43","6","4","Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand."
"asv","43","6","5","Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"
"asv","43","6","6","And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do."
"asv","43","6","7","Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little."
"asv","43","6","8","One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,"
"asv","43","6","9","There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?"
"asv","43","6","10","Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand."
"asv","43","6","11","Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would."
"asv","43","6","12","And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost."
"asv","43","6","13","So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten."
"asv","43","6","14","When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world."
"asv","43","6","15","Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone."
"asv","43","6","16","And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea;"
"asv","43","6","17","and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them."
"asv","43","6","18","And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew."
"asv","43","6","19","When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid."
"asv","43","6","20","But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid."
"asv","43","6","21","They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going."
"asv","43","6","22","On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the boat, but  that his disciples went away alone"
"asv","43","6","23","(howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):"
"asv","43","6","24","when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus."
"asv","43","6","25","And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?"
"asv","43","6","26","Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled."
"asv","43","6","27","Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him the Father,  even God, hath sealed."
"asv","43","6","28","They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"
"asv","43","6","29","Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."
"asv","43","6","30","They said therefore unto him, What then doest thou for a sign, that we may see, and believe thee? what workest thou?"
"asv","43","6","31","Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat."
"asv","43","6","32","Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven."
"asv","43","6","33","For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world."
"asv","43","6","34","They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread."
"asv","43","6","35","Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
"asv","43","6","36","But I said unto you, that ye have seen me, and yet believe not."
"asv","43","6","37","All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
"asv","43","6","38","For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me."
"asv","43","6","39","And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day."
"asv","43","6","40","For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
"asv","43","6","41","The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, I am the bread which came down out of heaven."
"asv","43","6","42","And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven?"
"asv","43","6","43","Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves."
"asv","43","6","44","No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day."
"asv","43","6","45","It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me."
"asv","43","6","46","Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father."
"asv","43","6","47","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life."
"asv","43","6","48","I am the bread of life."
"asv","43","6","49","Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died."
"asv","43","6","50","This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die."
"asv","43","6","51","I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world."
"asv","43","6","52","The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
"asv","43","6","53","Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves."
"asv","43","6","54","He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
"asv","43","6","55","For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed."
"asv","43","6","56","He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him."
"asv","43","6","57","As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me."
"asv","43","6","58","This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he that eateth this bread shall live for ever."
"asv","43","6","59","These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum."
"asv","43","6","60","Many therefore of his disciples, when they heard  this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?"
"asv","43","6","61","But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said unto them, Doth this cause you to stumble?"
"asv","43","6","62"," What then if ye should behold the Son of man ascending where he was before?"
"asv","43","6","63","It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life."
"asv","43","6","64","But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him."
"asv","43","6","65","And he said, For this cause have I said unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it be given unto him of the Father."
"asv","43","6","66","Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."
"asv","43","6","67","Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away?"
"asv","43","6","68","Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."
"asv","43","6","69","And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God."
"asv","43","6","70","Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
"asv","43","6","71","Now he spake of Judas  the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him,  being one of the twelve."
"asv","43","7","1","And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judæa, because the Jews sought to kill him."
"asv","43","7","2","Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand."
"asv","43","7","3","His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest."
"asv","43","7","4","For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world."
"asv","43","7","5","For even his brethren did not believe on him."
"asv","43","7","6","Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready."
"asv","43","7","7","The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil."
"asv","43","7","8","Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled."
"asv","43","7","9","And having said these things unto them, he abode  still in Galilee."
"asv","43","7","10","But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret."
"asv","43","7","11","The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?"
"asv","43","7","12","And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray."
"asv","43","7","13","Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews."
"asv","43","7","14","But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught."
"asv","43","7","15","The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?"
"asv","43","7","16","Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me."
"asv","43","7","17","If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or  whether I speak from myself."
"asv","43","7","18","He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him."
"asv","43","7","19","Did not Moses give you the law, and  yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?"
"asv","43","7","20","The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?"
"asv","43","7","21","Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof."
"asv","43","7","22","Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man."
"asv","43","7","23","If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?"
"asv","43","7","24","Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
"asv","43","7","25","Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?"
"asv","43","7","26","And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?"
"asv","43","7","27","Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is."
"asv","43","7","28","Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not."
"asv","43","7","29","I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me."
"asv","43","7","30","They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come."
"asv","43","7","31","But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?"
"asv","43","7","32","The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him."
"asv","43","7","33","Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me."
"asv","43","7","34","Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come."
"asv","43","7","35","The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?"
"asv","43","7","36","What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?"
"asv","43","7","37","Now on the last day, the great  day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink."
"asv","43","7","38","He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water."
"asv","43","7","39","But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet  given; because Jesus was not yet glorified."
"asv","43","7","40"," Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet."
"asv","43","7","41","Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?"
"asv","43","7","42","Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
"asv","43","7","43","So there arose a division in the multitude because of him."
"asv","43","7","44","And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him."
"asv","43","7","45","The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?"
"asv","43","7","46","The officers answered, Never man so spake."
"asv","43","7","47","The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?"
"asv","43","7","48","Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?"
"asv","43","7","49","But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed."
"asv","43","7","50","Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),"
"asv","43","7","51","Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?"
"asv","43","7","52","They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet."
"asv","43","7","53"," + Most of the ancient authorities omit John 7:53–8:11. Those which contain it vary much from each other.[And they went every man unto his own house:"
"asv","43","8","1","but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives."
"asv","43","8","2","And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them."
"asv","43","8","3","And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,"
"asv","43","8","4","they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act."
"asv","43","8","5","Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?"
"asv","43","8","6","And this they said, trying him, that they might have  whereof  to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground."
"asv","43","8","7","But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
"asv","43","8","8","And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground."
"asv","43","8","9","And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest,  even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst."
"asv","43","8","10","And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?"
"asv","43","8","11","And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]"
"asv","43","8","12","Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."
"asv","43","8","13","The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true."
"asv","43","8","14","Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go."
"asv","43","8","15","Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man."
"asv","43","8","16","Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me."
"asv","43","8","17","Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true."
"asv","43","8","18","I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me."
"asv","43","8","19","They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also."
"asv","43","8","20","These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come."
"asv","43","8","21","He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come."
"asv","43","8","22","The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?"
"asv","43","8","23","And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world."
"asv","43","8","24","I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am  he, ye shall die in your sins."
"asv","43","8","25","They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning."
"asv","43","8","26","I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world."
"asv","43","8","27","They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father."
"asv","43","8","28","Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am  he, and  that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things."
"asv","43","8","29","And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him."
"asv","43","8","30","As he spake these things, many believed on him."
"asv","43","8","31","Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word,  then are ye truly my disciples;"
"asv","43","8","32","and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
"asv","43","8","33","They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?"
"asv","43","8","34","Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin."
"asv","43","8","35","And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever."
"asv","43","8","36","If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
"asv","43","8","37","I know that ye are Abraham’s seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you."
"asv","43","8","38","I speak the things which I have seen with  my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from  your father."
"asv","43","8","39","They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham."
"asv","43","8","40","But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham."
"asv","43","8","41","Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father,  even God."
"asv","43","8","42","Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me."
"asv","43","8","43","Why do ye not understand my speech?  Even because ye cannot hear my word."
"asv","43","8","44","Ye are of  your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof."
"asv","43","8","45","But because I say the truth, ye believe me not."
"asv","43","8","46","Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?"
"asv","43","8","47","He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God."
"asv","43","8","48","The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?"
"asv","43","8","49","Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me."
"asv","43","8","50","But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth."
"asv","43","8","51","Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death."
"asv","43","8","52","The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death."
"asv","43","8","53","Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?"
"asv","43","8","54","Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;"
"asv","43","8","55","and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word."
"asv","43","8","56","Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad."
"asv","43","8","57","The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?"
"asv","43","8","58","Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am."
"asv","43","8","59","They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple."
"asv","43","9","1","And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth."
"asv","43","9","2","And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?"
"asv","43","9","3","Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
"asv","43","9","4","We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
"asv","43","9","5","When I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
"asv","43","9","6","When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,"
"asv","43","9","7","and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing."
"asv","43","9","8","The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?"
"asv","43","9","9","Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he."
"asv","43","9","10","They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?"
"asv","43","9","11","He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight."
"asv","43","9","12","And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not."
"asv","43","9","13","They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind."
"asv","43","9","14","Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes."
"asv","43","9","15","Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see."
"asv","43","9","16","Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them."
"asv","43","9","17","They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet."
"asv","43","9","18","The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,"
"asv","43","9","19","and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?"
"asv","43","9","20","His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:"
"asv","43","9","21","but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself."
"asv","43","9","22","These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him  to be  Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue."
"asv","43","9","23","Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him."
"asv","43","9","24","So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner."
"asv","43","9","25","He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
"asv","43","9","26","They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?"
"asv","43","9","27","He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?"
"asv","43","9","28","And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses."
"asv","43","9","29","We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is."
"asv","43","9","30","The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and  yet he opened mine eyes."
"asv","43","9","31","We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth."
"asv","43","9","32","Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind."
"asv","43","9","33","If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
"asv","43","9","34","They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out."
"asv","43","9","35","Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?"
"asv","43","9","36","He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?"
"asv","43","9","37","Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee."
"asv","43","9","38","And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him."
"asv","43","9","39","And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind."
"asv","43","9","40","Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind?"
"asv","43","9","41","Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth."
"asv","43","10","1","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."
"asv","43","10","2","But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep."
"asv","43","10","3","To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out."
"asv","43","10","4","When he hath put forth all his own, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice."
"asv","43","10","5","And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers."
"asv","43","10","6","This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them."
"asv","43","10","7","Jesus therefore said unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."
"asv","43","10","8","All that came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them."
"asv","43","10","9","I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture."
"asv","43","10","10","The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have  it abundantly."
"asv","43","10","11","I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep."
"asv","43","10","12","He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf snatcheth them, and scattereth  them:"
"asv","43","10","13"," he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep."
"asv","43","10","14","I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me,"
"asv","43","10","15","even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep."
"asv","43","10","16","And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they shall become one flock, one shepherd."
"asv","43","10","17","Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again."
"asv","43","10","18","No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father."
"asv","43","10","19","There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words."
"asv","43","10","20","And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him?"
"asv","43","10","21","Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
"asv","43","10","22","And it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem:"
"asv","43","10","23","it was winter; and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch."
"asv","43","10","24","The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly."
"asv","43","10","25","Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, these bear witness of me."
"asv","43","10","26","But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep."
"asv","43","10","27","My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"
"asv","43","10","28","and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand."
"asv","43","10","29","My Father, who hath given  them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch  them out of the Father’s hand."
"asv","43","10","30","I and the Father are one."
"asv","43","10","31","The Jews took up stones again to stone him."
"asv","43","10","32","Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?"
"asv","43","10","33","The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."
"asv","43","10","34","Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"
"asv","43","10","35","If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),"
"asv","43","10","36","say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am  the Son of God?"
"asv","43","10","37","If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not."
"asv","43","10","38","But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
"asv","43","10","39","They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand."
"asv","43","10","40","And he went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was at the first baptizing; and there he abode."
"asv","43","10","41","And many came unto him; and they said, John indeed did no sign: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true."
"asv","43","10","42","And many believed on him there."
"asv","43","11","1","Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha."
"asv","43","11","2","And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick."
"asv","43","11","3","The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick."
"asv","43","11","4","But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby."
"asv","43","11","5","Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus."
"asv","43","11","6","When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place where he was."
"asv","43","11","7","Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judæa again."
"asv","43","11","8","The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?"
"asv","43","11","9","Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world."
"asv","43","11","10","But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him."
"asv","43","11","11","These things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."
"asv","43","11","12","The disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will recover."
"asv","43","11","13","Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep."
"asv","43","11","14","Then Jesus therefore said unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead."
"asv","43","11","15","And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him."
"asv","43","11","16","Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him."
"asv","43","11","17","So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already."
"asv","43","11","18","Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off;"
"asv","43","11","19","and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother."
"asv","43","11","20","Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house."
"asv","43","11","21","Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died."
"asv","43","11","22","And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee."
"asv","43","11","23","Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again."
"asv","43","11","24","Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
"asv","43","11","25","Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live;"
"asv","43","11","26","and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
"asv","43","11","27","She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God,  even he that cometh into the world."
"asv","43","11","28","And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here, and calleth thee."
"asv","43","11","29","And she, when she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him."
"asv","43","11","30","(Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.)"
"asv","43","11","31","The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there."
"asv","43","11","32","Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died."
"asv","43","11","33","When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews  also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,"
"asv","43","11","34","and said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see."
"asv","43","11","35","Jesus wept."
"asv","43","11","36","The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!"
"asv","43","11","37","But some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man also should not die?"
"asv","43","11","38","Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it."
"asv","43","11","39","Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath been dead four days."
"asv","43","11","40","Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
"asv","43","11","41","So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me."
"asv","43","11","42","And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me."
"asv","43","11","43","And when he had thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth."
"asv","43","11","44","He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."
"asv","43","11","45","Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he did, believed on him."
"asv","43","11","46","But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done."
"asv","43","11","47","The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs."
"asv","43","11","48","If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
"asv","43","11","49","But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,"
"asv","43","11","50","nor do ye take account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not."
"asv","43","11","51","Now this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;"
"asv","43","11","52","and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad."
"asv","43","11","53","So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death."
"asv","43","11","54","Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there he tarried with the disciples."
"asv","43","11","55","Now the passover of the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves."
"asv","43","11","56","They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast?"
"asv","43","11","57","Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him."
"asv","43","12","1","Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead."
"asv","43","12","2","So they made him a supper there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with him."
"asv","43","12","3","Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment."
"asv","43","12","4","But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that should betray him, saith,"
"asv","43","12","5","Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor?"
"asv","43","12","6","Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein."
"asv","43","12","7","Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying."
"asv","43","12","8","For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always."
"asv","43","12","9","The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead."
"asv","43","12","10","But the chief priests took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to death;"
"asv","43","12","11","because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus."
"asv","43","12","12","On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,"
"asv","43","12","13","took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed  is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel."
"asv","43","12","14","And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,"
"asv","43","12","15","Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt."
"asv","43","12","16","These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him."
"asv","43","12","17","The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness."
"asv","43","12","18","For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done this sign."
"asv","43","12","19","The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him."
"asv","43","12","20","Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast:"
"asv","43","12","21","these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus."
"asv","43","12","22","Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus."
"asv","43","12","23","And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified."
"asv","43","12","24","Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit."
"asv","43","12","25","He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."
"asv","43","12","26","If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor."
"asv","43","12","27","Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour."
"asv","43","12","28","Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
"asv","43","12","29","The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath spoken to him."
"asv","43","12","30","Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for my sake, but for your sakes."
"asv","43","12","31","Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out."
"asv","43","12","32","And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself."
"asv","43","12","33","But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die."
"asv","43","12","34","The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?"
"asv","43","12","35","Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth."
"asv","43","12","36","While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them."
"asv","43","12","37","But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him:"
"asv","43","12","38","that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake,Lord, who hath believed our report?And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
"asv","43","12","39","For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again,"
"asv","43","12","40","He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart;Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart,And should turn,And I should heal them."
"asv","43","12","41","These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of him."
"asv","43","12","42","Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess  it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:"
"asv","43","12","43","for they loved the glory  that is of men more than the glory that is of God."
"asv","43","12","44","And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me."
"asv","43","12","45","And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me."
"asv","43","12","46","I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness."
"asv","43","12","47","And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world."
"asv","43","12","48","He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day."
"asv","43","12","49","For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak."
"asv","43","12","50","And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak."
"asv","43","13","1","Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end."
"asv","43","13","2","And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s  son, to betray him,"
"asv","43","13","3"," Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God,"
"asv","43","13","4","riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself."
"asv","43","13","5","Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded."
"asv","43","13","6","So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?"
"asv","43","13","7","Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter."
"asv","43","13","8","Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me."
"asv","43","13","9","Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
"asv","43","13","10","Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all."
"asv","43","13","11","For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean."
"asv","43","13","12","So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?"
"asv","43","13","13","Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am."
"asv","43","13","14","If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet."
"asv","43","13","15","For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you."
"asv","43","13","16","Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him."
"asv","43","13","17","If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them."
"asv","43","13","18","I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me."
"asv","43","13","19","From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am  he."
"asv","43","13","20","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me."
"asv","43","13","21","When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."
"asv","43","13","22","The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake."
"asv","43","13","23","There was at the table reclining in Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved."
"asv","43","13","24","Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell us who it is of whom he speaketh."
"asv","43","13","25","He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?"
"asv","43","13","26","Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot."
"asv","43","13","27","And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly."
"asv","43","13","28","Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him."
"asv","43","13","29","For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor."
"asv","43","13","30","He then having received the sop went out straightway: and it was night."
"asv","43","13","31","When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him;"
"asv","43","13","32","and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify him."
"asv","43","13","33","Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you."
"asv","43","13","34","A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
"asv","43","13","35","By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
"asv","43","13","36","Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards."
"asv","43","13","37","Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee."
"asv","43","13","38","Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice."
"asv","43","14","1","Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me."
"asv","43","14","2","In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you."
"asv","43","14","3","And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am,  there ye may be also."
"asv","43","14","4","And whither I go, ye know the way."
"asv","43","14","5","Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?"
"asv","43","14","6","Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me."
"asv","43","14","7","If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him."
"asv","43","14","8","Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us."
"asv","43","14","9","Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?"
"asv","43","14","10","Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works."
"asv","43","14","11","Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake."
"asv","43","14","12","Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater  works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father."
"asv","43","14","13","And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
"asv","43","14","14","If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do."
"asv","43","14","15","If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments."
"asv","43","14","16","And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,"
"asv","43","14","17"," even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you."
"asv","43","14","18","I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you."
"asv","43","14","19","Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also."
"asv","43","14","20","In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you."
"asv","43","14","21","He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him."
"asv","43","14","22","Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?"
"asv","43","14","23","Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
"asv","43","14","24","He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me."
"asv","43","14","25","These things have I spoken unto you, while  yet abiding with you."
"asv","43","14","26","But the Comforter,  even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you."
"asv","43","14","27","Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."
"asv","43","14","28","Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I."
"asv","43","14","29","And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe."
"asv","43","14","30","I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me;"
"asv","43","14","31","but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence."
"asv","43","15","1","I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman."
"asv","43","15","2","Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit."
"asv","43","15","3","Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you."
"asv","43","15","4","Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me."
"asv","43","15","5","I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing."
"asv","43","15","6","If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."
"asv","43","15","7","If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you."
"asv","43","15","8","Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and  so  shall ye be my disciples."
"asv","43","15","9","Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love."
"asv","43","15","10","If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love."
"asv","43","15","11","These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full."
"asv","43","15","12","This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you."
"asv","43","15","13","Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
"asv","43","15","14","Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you."
"asv","43","15","15","No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you."
"asv","43","15","16","Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and  that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."
"asv","43","15","17","These things I command you, that ye may love one another."
"asv","43","15","18","If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you."
"asv","43","15","19","If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."
"asv","43","15","20","Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also."
"asv","43","15","21","But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me."
"asv","43","15","22","If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin."
"asv","43","15","23","He that hateth me hateth my Father also."
"asv","43","15","24","If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father."
"asv","43","15","25","But  this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause."
"asv","43","15","26","But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,  even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:"
"asv","43","15","27","and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning."
"asv","43","16","1","These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble."
"asv","43","16","2","They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God."
"asv","43","16","3","And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me."
"asv","43","16","4","But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you."
"asv","43","16","5","But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?"
"asv","43","16","6","But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart."
"asv","43","16","7","Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you."
"asv","43","16","8","And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"
"asv","43","16","9","of sin, because they believe not on me;"
"asv","43","16","10","of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;"
"asv","43","16","11","of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged."
"asv","43","16","12","I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."
"asv","43","16","13","Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear,  these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come."
"asv","43","16","14","He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you."
"asv","43","16","15","All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare  it unto you."
"asv","43","16","16","A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me."
"asv","43","16","17"," Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?"
"asv","43","16","18","They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith."
"asv","43","16","19","Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?"
"asv","43","16","20","Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."
"asv","43","16","21","A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world."
"asv","43","16","22","And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you."
"asv","43","16","23","And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name."
"asv","43","16","24","Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full."
"asv","43","16","25","These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father."
"asv","43","16","26","In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;"
"asv","43","16","27","for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father."
"asv","43","16","28","I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father."
"asv","43","16","29","His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying."
"asv","43","16","30","Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God."
"asv","43","16","31","Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?"
"asv","43","16","32","Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and  yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me."
"asv","43","16","33","These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
"asv","43","17","1","These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the Son may glorify thee:"
"asv","43","17","2","even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal life."
"asv","43","17","3","And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send,  even Jesus Christ."
"asv","43","17","4","I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do."
"asv","43","17","5","And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
"asv","43","17","6","I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word."
"asv","43","17","7","Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:"
"asv","43","17","8","for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received  them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me."
"asv","43","17","9","I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:"
"asv","43","17","10","and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them."
"asv","43","17","11","And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we  are."
"asv","43","17","12","While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled."
"asv","43","17","13","But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves."
"asv","43","17","14","I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."
"asv","43","17","15","I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil  one."
"asv","43","17","16","They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."
"asv","43","17","17","Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth."
"asv","43","17","18","As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world."
"asv","43","17","19","And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth."
"asv","43","17","20","Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;"
"asv","43","17","21","that they may all be one; even as thou, Father,  art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me."
"asv","43","17","22","And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we  are one;"
"asv","43","17","23","I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me."
"asv","43","17","24","Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world."
"asv","43","17","25","O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;"
"asv","43","17","26","and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them."
"asv","43","18","1","When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples."
"asv","43","18","2","Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples."
"asv","43","18","3","Judas then, having received the band  of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons."
"asv","43","18","4","Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye?"
"asv","43","18","5","They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them."
"asv","43","18","6","When therefore he said unto them, I am  he, they went backward, and fell to the ground."
"asv","43","18","7","Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth."
"asv","43","18","8","Jesus answered, I told you that I am  he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:"
"asv","43","18","9","that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one."
"asv","43","18","10","Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus."
"asv","43","18","11","Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath: the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?"
"asv","43","18","12","So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him,"
"asv","43","18","13","and led him to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year."
"asv","43","18","14","Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people."
"asv","43","18","15","And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and  so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest;"
"asv","43","18","16","but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter."
"asv","43","18","17","The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man’s disciples? He saith, I am not."
"asv","43","18","18","Now the servants and the officers were standing  there, having made a fire of coals; for it was cold; and they were warming themselves: and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself."
"asv","43","18","19","The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching."
"asv","43","18","20","Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing."
"asv","43","18","21","Why askest thou me? ask them that have heard  me, what I spake unto them: behold, these know the things which I said."
"asv","43","18","22","And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?"
"asv","43","18","23","Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?"
"asv","43","18","24","Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest."
"asv","43","18","25","Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also  one of his disciples? He denied, and said, I am not."
"asv","43","18","26","One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?"
"asv","43","18","27","Peter therefore denied again: and straightway the cock crew."
"asv","43","18","28","They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Prætorium: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Prætorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover."
"asv","43","18","29","Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man?"
"asv","43","18","30","They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee."
"asv","43","18","31","Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:"
"asv","43","18","32","that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die."
"asv","43","18","33","Pilate therefore entered again into the Prætorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?"
"asv","43","18","34","Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?"
"asv","43","18","35","Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?"
"asv","43","18","36","Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."
"asv","43","18","37","Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice."
"asv","43","18","38","Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him."
"asv","43","18","39","But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"
"asv","43","18","40","They cried out therefore again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber."
"asv","43","19","1","Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him."
"asv","43","19","2","And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment;"
"asv","43","19","3","and they came unto him, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands."
"asv","43","19","4","And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him."
"asv","43","19","5","Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And  Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man!"
"asv","43","19","6","When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify  him, crucify  him! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no crime in him."
"asv","43","19","7","The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
"asv","43","19","8","When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid;"
"asv","43","19","9","and he entered into the Prætorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer."
"asv","43","19","10","Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee?"
"asv","43","19","11","Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin."
"asv","43","19","12","Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cæsar’s friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Cæsar."
"asv","43","19","13","When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha."
"asv","43","19","14","Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King!"
"asv","43","19","15","They therefore cried out, Away with  him, away with  him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar."
"asv","43","19","16","Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified."
"asv","43","19","17","They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha:"
"asv","43","19","18","where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst."
"asv","43","19","19","And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
"asv","43","19","20","This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew,  and  in Latin,  and in Greek."
"asv","43","19","21","The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but, that he said, I am King of the Jews."
"asv","43","19","22","Pilate answered, What I have written I have written."
"asv","43","19","23","The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout."
"asv","43","19","24","They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,They parted my garments among them,And upon my vesture did they cast lots."
"asv","43","19","25","These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the  wife  of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene."
"asv","43","19","26","When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son!"
"asv","43","19","27","Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own  home."
"asv","43","19","28","After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst."
"asv","43","19","29","There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth."
"asv","43","19","30","When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit."
"asv","43","19","31","The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high  day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and  that they might be taken away."
"asv","43","19","32","The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him:"
"asv","43","19","33","but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:"
"asv","43","19","34","howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water."
"asv","43","19","35","And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe."
"asv","43","19","36","For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken."
"asv","43","19","37","And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."
"asv","43","19","38","And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave  him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body."
"asv","43","19","39","And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds."
"asv","43","19","40","So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury."
"asv","43","19","41","Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid."
"asv","43","19","42","There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus."
"asv","43","20","1","Now on the first  day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb."
"asv","43","20","2","She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him."
"asv","43","20","3","Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb."
"asv","43","20","4","And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;"
"asv","43","20","5","and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in."
"asv","43","20","6","Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,"
"asv","43","20","7","and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself."
"asv","43","20","8","Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed."
"asv","43","20","9","For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."
"asv","43","20","10","So the disciples went away again unto their own home."
"asv","43","20","11","But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;"
"asv","43","20","12","and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain."
"asv","43","20","13","And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him."
"asv","43","20","14","When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus."
"asv","43","20","15","Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away."
"asv","43","20","16","Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher."
"asv","43","20","17","Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God."
"asv","43","20","18","Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and  that he had said these things unto her."
"asv","43","20","19","When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first  day  of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace  be unto you."
"asv","43","20","20","And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord."
"asv","43","20","21","Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace  be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you."
"asv","43","20","22","And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:"
"asv","43","20","23","whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."
"asv","43","20","24","But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came."
"asv","43","20","25","The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."
"asv","43","20","26","And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace  be unto you."
"asv","43","20","27","Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach  hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."
"asv","43","20","28","Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."
"asv","43","20","29","Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed  are they that have not seen, and  yet have believed."
"asv","43","20","30","Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:"
"asv","43","20","31","but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name."
"asv","43","21","1","After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested  himself on this wise."
"asv","43","21","2","There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the  sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples."
"asv","43","21","3","Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took nothing."
"asv","43","21","4","But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus."
"asv","43","21","5","Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No."
"asv","43","21","6","And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."
"asv","43","21","7","That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his coat about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea."
"asv","43","21","8","But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net  full  of fishes."
"asv","43","21","9","So when they got out upon the land, they see a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread."
"asv","43","21","10","Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now taken."
"asv","43","21","11","Simon Peter therefore went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, the net was not rent."
"asv","43","21","12","Jesus saith unto them, Come  and break your fast. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord."
"asv","43","21","13","Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise."
"asv","43","21","14","This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after that he was risen from the dead."
"asv","43","21","15","So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs."
"asv","43","21","16","He saith to him again a second time, Simon,  son of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep."
"asv","43","21","17","He saith unto him the third time, Simon,  son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep."
"asv","43","21","18","Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not."
"asv","43","21","19","Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me."
"asv","43","21","20","Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?"
"asv","43","21","21","Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?"
"asv","43","21","22","Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me."
"asv","43","21","23","This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what  is that to thee?"
"asv","43","21","24","This is the disciple that beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true."
"asv","43","21","25","And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that should be written."
"asv","44","1","1","The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,"
"asv","44","1","2","until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:"
"asv","44","1","3","To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:"
"asv","44","1","4","and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which,  said he, ye heard from me:"
"asv","44","1","5","For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence."
"asv","44","1","6","They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
"asv","44","1","7","And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within his own authority."
"asv","44","1","8","But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
"asv","44","1","9","And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight."
"asv","44","1","10","And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;"
"asv","44","1","11","who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven."
"asv","44","1","12","Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey off."
"asv","44","1","13","And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James  the son of Alphæus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas  the son of James."
"asv","44","1","14","These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren."
"asv","44","1","15","And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons  gathered together, about a hundred and twenty),"
"asv","44","1","16","Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus."
"asv","44","1","17","For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry."
"asv","44","1","18","(Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out."
"asv","44","1","19","And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)"
"asv","44","1","20","For it is written in the book of Psalms,Let his habitation be made desolate,And let no man dwell therein:His office let another take."
"asv","44","1","21","Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,"
"asv","44","1","22","beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection."
"asv","44","1","23","And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias."
"asv","44","1","24","And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,"
"asv","44","1","25","to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place."
"asv","44","1","26","And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
"asv","44","2","1","And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place."
"asv","44","2","2","And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."
"asv","44","2","3","And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them."
"asv","44","2","4","And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
"asv","44","2","5","Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven."
"asv","44","2","6","And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speaking in his own language."
"asv","44","2","7","And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilæans?"
"asv","44","2","8","And how hear we, every man in our own language wherein we were born?"
"asv","44","2","9","Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, in Judæa and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,"
"asv","44","2","10","in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,"
"asv","44","2","11","Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our tongues the mighty works of God."
"asv","44","2","12","And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this?"
"asv","44","2","13","But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine."
"asv","44","2","14","But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them,  saying, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and give ear unto my words."
"asv","44","2","15","For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is  but  the third hour of the day;"
"asv","44","2","16","but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:"
"asv","44","2","17","And it shall be in the last days, saith God,I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh:And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,And your young men shall see visions,And your old men shall dream dreams:"
"asv","44","2","18","Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those daysWill I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy."
"asv","44","2","19","And I will show wonders in the heaven above,And signs on the earth beneath;Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:"
"asv","44","2","20","The sun shall be turned into darkness,And the moon into blood,Before the day of the Lord come,That great and notable  day:"
"asv","44","2","21","And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"asv","44","2","22","Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you, even as ye yourselves know;"
"asv","44","2","23","him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay:"
"asv","44","2","24","whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."
"asv","44","2","25","For David saith concerning him,I beheld the Lord always before my face;For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:"
"asv","44","2","26","Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;Moreover my flesh also shall dwell in hope:"
"asv","44","2","27","Because thou wilt not leave my soul unto Hades,Neither wilt thou give thy Holy One to see corruption."
"asv","44","2","28","Thou madest known unto me the ways of life;Thou shalt make me full of gladness with thy countenance."
"asv","44","2","29","Brethren, I may say unto you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this day."
"asv","44","2","30","Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins he would set  one upon his throne;"
"asv","44","2","31","he foreseeing  this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was he left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption."
"asv","44","2","32","This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses."
"asv","44","2","33","Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear."
"asv","44","2","34","For David ascended not into the heavens: but he saith himself,The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,"
"asv","44","2","35","Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet."
"asv","44","2","36","Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified."
"asv","44","2","37","Now when they heard  this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?"
"asv","44","2","38","And Peter  said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","2","39","For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,  even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him."
"asv","44","2","40","And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation."
"asv","44","2","41","They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls."
"asv","44","2","42","And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and the prayers."
"asv","44","2","43","And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles."
"asv","44","2","44","And all that believed were together, and had all things common;"
"asv","44","2","45","and they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need."
"asv","44","2","46","And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,"
"asv","44","2","47","praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved."
"asv","44","3","1","Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth  hour."
"asv","44","3","2","And a certain man that was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;"
"asv","44","3","3","who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms."
"asv","44","3","4","And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us."
"asv","44","3","5","And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them."
"asv","44","3","6","But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."
"asv","44","3","7","And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength."
"asv","44","3","8","And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God."
"asv","44","3","9","And all the people saw him walking and praising God:"
"asv","44","3","10","and they took knowledge of him, that it was he that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him."
"asv","44","3","11","And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering."
"asv","44","3","12","And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk?"
"asv","44","3","13","The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him."
"asv","44","3","14","But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,"
"asv","44","3","15","and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses."
"asv","44","3","16","And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."
"asv","44","3","17","And now, brethren, I know that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers."
"asv","44","3","18","But the things which God foreshowed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled."
"asv","44","3","19","Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;"
"asv","44","3","20","and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus:"
"asv","44","3","21","whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old."
"asv","44","3","22","Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you."
"asv","44","3","23","And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people."
"asv","44","3","24","Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days."
"asv","44","3","25","Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
"asv","44","3","26","Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."
"asv","44","4","1","And as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,"
"asv","44","4","2","being sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead."
"asv","44","4","3","And they laid hands on them, and put them in ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide."
"asv","44","4","4","But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand."
"asv","44","4","5","And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;"
"asv","44","4","6","and Annas the high priest  was there, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest."
"asv","44","4","7","And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?"
"asv","44","4","8","Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,"
"asv","44","4","9","if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;"
"asv","44","4","10","be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,  even in him doth this man stand here before you whole."
"asv","44","4","11","He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner."
"asv","44","4","12","And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved."
"asv","44","4","13","Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus."
"asv","44","4","14","And seeing the man that was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it."
"asv","44","4","15","But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,"
"asv","44","4","16","saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it."
"asv","44","4","17","But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name."
"asv","44","4","18","And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus."
"asv","44","4","19","But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:"
"asv","44","4","20","for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard."
"asv","44","4","21","And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done."
"asv","44","4","22","For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought."
"asv","44","4","23","And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them."
"asv","44","4","24","And they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:"
"asv","44","4","25","who by the Holy Spirit,  by the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say,Why did the Gentiles rage,And the peoples imagine vain things?"
"asv","44","4","26","The kings of the earth set themselves in array,And the rulers were gathered together,Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:"
"asv","44","4","27","for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,"
"asv","44","4","28","to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass."
"asv","44","4","29","And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,"
"asv","44","4","30","while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant Jesus."
"asv","44","4","31","And when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spake the word of God with boldness."
"asv","44","4","32","And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one  of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common."
"asv","44","4","33","And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all."
"asv","44","4","34","For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,"
"asv","44","4","35","and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need."
"asv","44","4","36","And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,"
"asv","44","4","37","having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet."
"asv","44","5","1","But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,"
"asv","44","5","2","and kept back  part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet."
"asv","44","5","3","But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back  part of the price of the land?"
"asv","44","5","4","While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God."
"asv","44","5","5","And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it."
"asv","44","5","6","And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him."
"asv","44","5","7","And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in."
"asv","44","5","8","And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much."
"asv","44","5","9","But Peter  said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out."
"asv","44","5","10","And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband."
"asv","44","5","11","And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things."
"asv","44","5","12","And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch."
"asv","44","5","13","But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;"
"asv","44","5","14","and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women:"
"asv","44","5","15","insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them."
"asv","44","5","16","And there also came together the multitude from the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one."
"asv","44","5","17","But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,"
"asv","44","5","18","and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward."
"asv","44","5","19","But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,"
"asv","44","5","20","Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life."
"asv","44","5","21","And when they heard  this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought."
"asv","44","5","22","But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told,"
"asv","44","5","23","saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within."
"asv","44","5","24","Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow."
"asv","44","5","25","And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people."
"asv","44","5","26","Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them,  but  without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned."
"asv","44","5","27","And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,"
"asv","44","5","28","saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us."
"asv","44","5","29","But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men."
"asv","44","5","30","The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree."
"asv","44","5","31","Him did God exalt with his right hand  to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins."
"asv","44","5","32","And we are witnesses of these things; and  so is the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him."
"asv","44","5","33","But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them."
"asv","44","5","34","But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honor of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while."
"asv","44","5","35","And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do."
"asv","44","5","36","For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought."
"asv","44","5","37","After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrolment, and drew away  some of the people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad."
"asv","44","5","38","And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown:"
"asv","44","5","39","but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God."
"asv","44","5","40","And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go."
"asv","44","5","41","They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name."
"asv","44","5","42","And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus  as the Christ."
"asv","44","6","1","Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration."
"asv","44","6","2","And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables."
"asv","44","6","3","Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business."
"asv","44","6","4","But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word."
"asv","44","6","5","And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch;"
"asv","44","6","6","whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them."
"asv","44","6","7","And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith."
"asv","44","6","8","And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people."
"asv","44","6","9","But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen."
"asv","44","6","10","And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake."
"asv","44","6","11","Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and  against God."
"asv","44","6","12","And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,"
"asv","44","6","13","and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:"
"asv","44","6","14","for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us."
"asv","44","6","15","And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel."
"asv","44","7","1","And the high priest said, Are these things so?"
"asv","44","7","2","And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken: The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,"
"asv","44","7","3","and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee."
"asv","44","7","4","Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead,  God removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:"
"asv","44","7","5","and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when  as yet he had no child."
"asv","44","7","6","And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill, four hundred years."
"asv","44","7","7","And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place."
"asv","44","7","8","And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so  Abraham  begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac  begat  Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs."
"asv","44","7","9","And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,"
"asv","44","7","10","and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house."
"asv","44","7","11","Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance."
"asv","44","7","12","But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time."
"asv","44","7","13","And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s race became manifest unto Pharaoh."
"asv","44","7","14","And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls."
"asv","44","7","15","And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;"
"asv","44","7","16","and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem."
"asv","44","7","17","But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,"
"asv","44","7","18","till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph."
"asv","44","7","19","The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live."
"asv","44","7","20","At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father’s house:"
"asv","44","7","21","and when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son."
"asv","44","7","22","And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works."
"asv","44","7","23","But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel."
"asv","44","7","24","And seeing one  of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:"
"asv","44","7","25","and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not."
"asv","44","7","26","And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?"
"asv","44","7","27","But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?"
"asv","44","7","28","Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?"
"asv","44","7","29","And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons."
"asv","44","7","30","And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush."
"asv","44","7","31","And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,"
"asv","44","7","32","I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold."
"asv","44","7","33","And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground."
"asv","44","7","34","I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt."
"asv","44","7","35","This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent  to be both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush."
"asv","44","7","36","This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years."
"asv","44","7","37","This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me."
"asv","44","7","38","This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:"
"asv","44","7","39","to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,"
"asv","44","7","40","saying unto Aaron, Make us gods that shall go before us: for as for this Moses, who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him."
"asv","44","7","41","And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands."
"asv","44","7","42","But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets,Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrificesForty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?"
"asv","44","7","43","And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,And the star of the god Rephan,The figures which ye made to worship them:And I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
"asv","44","7","44","Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen."
"asv","44","7","45","Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, that God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;"
"asv","44","7","46","who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob."
"asv","44","7","47","But Solomon built him a house."
"asv","44","7","48","Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in  houses made with hands; as saith the prophet,"
"asv","44","7","49","The heaven is my throne,And the earth the footstool of my feet:What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord:Or what is the place of my rest?"
"asv","44","7","50","Did not my hand make all these things?"
"asv","44","7","51","Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye."
"asv","44","7","52","Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them that showed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;"
"asv","44","7","53","ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not."
"asv","44","7","54","Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth."
"asv","44","7","55","But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,"
"asv","44","7","56","and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God."
"asv","44","7","57","But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;"
"asv","44","7","58","and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul."
"asv","44","7","59","And they stoned Stephen, calling upon  the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."
"asv","44","7","60","And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."
"asv","44","8","1","And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles."
"asv","44","8","2","And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him."
"asv","44","8","3","But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison."
"asv","44","8","4","They therefore that were scattered abroad went about preaching the word."
"asv","44","8","5","And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ."
"asv","44","8","6","And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did."
"asv","44","8","7","For  from many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed."
"asv","44","8","8","And there was much joy in that city."
"asv","44","8","9","But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:"
"asv","44","8","10","to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great."
"asv","44","8","11","And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries."
"asv","44","8","12","But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women."
"asv","44","8","13","And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed."
"asv","44","8","14","Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:"
"asv","44","8","15","who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:"
"asv","44","8","16","for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus."
"asv","44","8","17","Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","8","18","Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,"
"asv","44","8","19","saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","8","20","But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money."
"asv","44","8","21","Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God."
"asv","44","8","22","Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee."
"asv","44","8","23","For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity."
"asv","44","8","24","And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me."
"asv","44","8","25","They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans."
"asv","44","8","26","But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert."
"asv","44","8","27","And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;"
"asv","44","8","28","and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah."
"asv","44","8","29","And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot."
"asv","44","8","30","And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?"
"asv","44","8","31","And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him."
"asv","44","8","32","Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this,He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb,So he openeth not his mouth:"
"asv","44","8","33","In his humiliation his judgment was taken away:His generation who shall declare?For his life is taken from the earth."
"asv","44","8","34","And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?"
"asv","44","8","35","And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached unto him Jesus."
"asv","44","8","36","And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold,  here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?"
"asv","44","8","37"," + Some ancient authorities add, in whole or in part, v. 37.  And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. "
"asv","44","8","38","And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him."
"asv","44","8","39","And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing."
"asv","44","8","40","But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea."
"asv","44","9","1","But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,"
"asv","44","9","2","and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem."
"asv","44","9","3","And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:"
"asv","44","9","4","and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
"asv","44","9","5","And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he  said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:"
"asv","44","9","6","but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."
"asv","44","9","7","And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man."
"asv","44","9","8","And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus."
"asv","44","9","9","And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink."
"asv","44","9","10","Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I  am here, Lord."
"asv","44","9","11","And the Lord  said unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;"
"asv","44","9","12","and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
"asv","44","9","13","But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:"
"asv","44","9","14","and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name."
"asv","44","9","15","But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:"
"asv","44","9","16","for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake."
"asv","44","9","17","And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord,  even Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","9","18","And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;"
"asv","44","9","19","and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus."
"asv","44","9","20","And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God."
"asv","44","9","21","And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests."
"asv","44","9","22","But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ."
"asv","44","9","23","And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:"
"asv","44","9","24","but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:"
"asv","44","9","25","but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket."
"asv","44","9","26","And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple."
"asv","44","9","27","But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus."
"asv","44","9","28","And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,"
"asv","44","9","29","preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him."
"asv","44","9","30","And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus."
"asv","44","9","31","So the church throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied."
"asv","44","9","32","And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda."
"asv","44","9","33","And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied."
"asv","44","9","34","And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose."
"asv","44","9","35","And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord."
"asv","44","9","36","Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did."
"asv","44","9","37","And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber."
"asv","44","9","38","And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us."
"asv","44","9","39","And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them."
"asv","44","9","40","But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up."
"asv","44","9","41","And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive."
"asv","44","9","42","And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord."
"asv","44","9","43","And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner."
"asv","44","10","1","Now  there was a certain man in Cæsarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called the Italian  band,"
"asv","44","10","2","a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always."
"asv","44","10","3","He saw in a vision openly, as it were about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius."
"asv","44","10","4","And he, fastening his eyes upon him, and being affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are gone up for a memorial before God."
"asv","44","10","5","And now send men to Joppa, and fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:"
"asv","44","10","6","he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side."
"asv","44","10","7","And when the angel that spake unto him was departed, he called two of his household-servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;"
"asv","44","10","8","and having rehearsed all things unto them, he sent them to Joppa."
"asv","44","10","9","Now on the morrow, as they were on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour:"
"asv","44","10","10","and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;"
"asv","44","10","11","and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:"
"asv","44","10","12","wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven."
"asv","44","10","13","And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat."
"asv","44","10","14","But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common and unclean."
"asv","44","10","15","And a voice  came unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common."
"asv","44","10","16","And this was done thrice: and straightway the vessel was received up into heaven."
"asv","44","10","17","Now while Peter was much perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men that were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,"
"asv","44","10","18","and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, were lodging there."
"asv","44","10","19","And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee."
"asv","44","10","20","But arise, and get thee down, and go with them, nothing doubting: for I have sent them."
"asv","44","10","21","And Peter went down to the men, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?"
"asv","44","10","22","And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned of God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee."
"asv","44","10","23","So he called them in and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him."
"asv","44","10","24","And on the morrow they entered into Cæsarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and his near friends."
"asv","44","10","25","And when it came to pass that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him."
"asv","44","10","26","But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."
"asv","44","10","27","And as he talked with him, he went in, and findeth many come together:"
"asv","44","10","28","and he said unto them, Ye yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to join himself or come unto one of another nation; and  yet unto me hath God showed that I should not call any man common or unclean:"
"asv","44","10","29","wherefore also I came without gainsaying, when I was sent for. I ask therefore with what intent ye sent for me."
"asv","44","10","30","And Cornelius said, Four days ago, until this hour, I was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house; and behold, a man stood before me in bright apparel,"
"asv","44","10","31","and saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God."
"asv","44","10","32","Send therefore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side."
"asv","44","10","33","Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord."
"asv","44","10","34","And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
"asv","44","10","35","but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him."
"asv","44","10","36","The word which he sent unto the children of Israel, preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all.)—"
"asv","44","10","37","that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judæa, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;"
"asv","44","10","38"," even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
"asv","44","10","39","And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom also they slew, hanging him on a tree."
"asv","44","10","40","Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,"
"asv","44","10","41","not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God,  even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead."
"asv","44","10","42","And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he who is ordained of God  to be the Judge of the living and the dead."
"asv","44","10","43","To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins."
"asv","44","10","44","While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them that heard the word."
"asv","44","10","45","And they of the circumcision that believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","10","46","For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,"
"asv","44","10","47","Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?"
"asv","44","10","48","And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days."
"asv","44","11","1","Now the apostles and the brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God."
"asv","44","11","2","And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,"
"asv","44","11","3","saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them."
"asv","44","11","4","But Peter began, and expounded  the matter unto them in order, saying,"
"asv","44","11","5","I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:"
"asv","44","11","6","upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven."
"asv","44","11","7","And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat."
"asv","44","11","8","But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth."
"asv","44","11","9","But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common."
"asv","44","11","10","And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven."
"asv","44","11","11","And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Cæsarea unto me."
"asv","44","11","12","And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:"
"asv","44","11","13","and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;"
"asv","44","11","14","who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house."
"asv","44","11","15","And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning."
"asv","44","11","16","And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","11","17","If then God gave unto them the like gift as  he did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
"asv","44","11","18","And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life."
"asv","44","11","19","They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews."
"asv","44","11","20","But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus."
"asv","44","11","21","And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord."
"asv","44","11","22","And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch:"
"asv","44","11","23","who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord:"
"asv","44","11","24","for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord."
"asv","44","11","25","And he went forth to Tarsus to seek for Saul;"
"asv","44","11","26","and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people; and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
"asv","44","11","27","Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch."
"asv","44","11","28","And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius."
"asv","44","11","29","And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judæa:"
"asv","44","11","30","which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul."
"asv","44","12","1","Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church."
"asv","44","12","2","And he killed James the brother of John with the sword."
"asv","44","12","3","And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And  those were the days of unleavened bread."
"asv","44","12","4","And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people."
"asv","44","12","5","Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him."
"asv","44","12","6","And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison."
"asv","44","12","7","And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands."
"asv","44","12","8","And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me."
"asv","44","12","9","And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision."
"asv","44","12","10","And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him."
"asv","44","12","11","And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews."
"asv","44","12","12","And when he had considered  the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying."
"asv","44","12","13","And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda."
"asv","44","12","14","And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate."
"asv","44","12","15","And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel."
"asv","44","12","16","But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed."
"asv","44","12","17","But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place."
"asv","44","12","18","Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter."
"asv","44","12","19","And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and tarried there."
"asv","44","12","20","Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country."
"asv","44","12","21","And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them."
"asv","44","12","22","And the people shouted,  saying, The voice of a god, and not of a man."
"asv","44","12","23","And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."
"asv","44","12","24","But the word of God grew and multiplied."
"asv","44","12","25","And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark."
"asv","44","13","1","Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was  there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul."
"asv","44","13","2","And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."
"asv","44","13","3","Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away."
"asv","44","13","4","So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus."
"asv","44","13","5","And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant."
"asv","44","13","6","And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus;"
"asv","44","13","7","who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God."
"asv","44","13","8","But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith."
"asv","44","13","9","But Saul, who is also  called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,"
"asv","44","13","10","and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?"
"asv","44","13","11","And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."
"asv","44","13","12","Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord."
"asv","44","13","13","Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem."
"asv","44","13","14","But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down."
"asv","44","13","15","And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."
"asv","44","13","16","And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:"
"asv","44","13","17","The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it."
"asv","44","13","18","And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness."
"asv","44","13","19","And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:"
"asv","44","13","20","and after these things he gave  them judges until Samuel the prophet."
"asv","44","13","21","And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years."
"asv","44","13","22","And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will."
"asv","44","13","23","Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;"
"asv","44","13","24","when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel."
"asv","44","13","25","And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not  he. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose."
"asv","44","13","26","Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth."
"asv","44","13","27","For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled  them by condemning  him."
"asv","44","13","28","And though they found no cause of death  in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain."
"asv","44","13","29","And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb."
"asv","44","13","30","But God raised him from the dead:"
"asv","44","13","31","and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people."
"asv","44","13","32","And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,"
"asv","44","13","33","that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
"asv","44","13","34","And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure  blessings of David."
"asv","44","13","35","Because he saith also in another  psalm, Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption."
"asv","44","13","36","For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:"
"asv","44","13","37","but he whom God raised up saw no corruption."
"asv","44","13","38","Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:"
"asv","44","13","39","and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
"asv","44","13","40","Beware therefore, lest that come upon  you which is spoken in the prophets:"
"asv","44","13","41","Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish;For I work a work in your days,A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you."
"asv","44","13","42","And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath."
"asv","44","13","43","Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God."
"asv","44","13","44","And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God."
"asv","44","13","45","But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed."
"asv","44","13","46","And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles."
"asv","44","13","47","For so hath the Lord commanded us,  saying,I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles,That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth."
"asv","44","13","48","And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."
"asv","44","13","49","And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region."
"asv","44","13","50","But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders."
"asv","44","13","51","But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium."
"asv","44","13","52","And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit."
"asv","44","14","1","And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed."
"asv","44","14","2","But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren."
"asv","44","14","3","Long time therefore they tarried  there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands."
"asv","44","14","4","But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles."
"asv","44","14","5","And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to treat them shamefully and to stone them,"
"asv","44","14","6","they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:"
"asv","44","14","7","and there they preached the gospel."
"asv","44","14","8","And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked."
"asv","44","14","9","The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,"
"asv","44","14","10","said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked."
"asv","44","14","11","And when the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men."
"asv","44","14","12","And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker."
"asv","44","14","13","And the priest of Jupiter whose  temple was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes."
"asv","44","14","14","But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out"
"asv","44","14","15","and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:"
"asv","44","14","16","who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways."
"asv","44","14","17","And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."
"asv","44","14","18","And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them."
"asv","44","14","19","But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead."
"asv","44","14","20","But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe."
"asv","44","14","21","And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,"
"asv","44","14","22","confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God."
"asv","44","14","23","And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed."
"asv","44","14","24","And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia."
"asv","44","14","25","And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;"
"asv","44","14","26","and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled."
"asv","44","14","27","And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles."
"asv","44","14","28","And they tarried no little time with the disciples."
"asv","44","15","1","And certain men came down from Judæa and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved."
"asv","44","15","2","And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them,  the brethren appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question."
"asv","44","15","3","They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren."
"asv","44","15","4","And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them."
"asv","44","15","5","But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses."
"asv","44","15","6","And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter."
"asv","44","15","7","And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe."
"asv","44","15","8","And God, who knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us;"
"asv","44","15","9","and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith."
"asv","44","15","10","Now therefore why make ye trial of God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?"
"asv","44","15","11","But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they."
"asv","44","15","12","And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them."
"asv","44","15","13","And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:"
"asv","44","15","14","Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name."
"asv","44","15","15","And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,"
"asv","44","15","16","After these things I will return,And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen;And I will build again the ruins thereof,And I will set it up:"
"asv","44","15","17","That the residue of men may seek after the Lord,And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,"
"asv","44","15","18","Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old."
"asv","44","15","19","Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;"
"asv","44","15","20","but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood."
"asv","44","15","21","For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath."
"asv","44","15","22","Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas;  namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:"
"asv","44","15","23","and they wrote  thus by them, The apostles and the elders, brethren, unto the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:"
"asv","44","15","24","Forasmuch as we have heard that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;"
"asv","44","15","25","it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,"
"asv","44","15","26","men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","44","15","27","We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth."
"asv","44","15","28","For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:"
"asv","44","15","29","that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well."
"asv","44","15","30","So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle."
"asv","44","15","31","And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation."
"asv","44","15","32","And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them."
"asv","44","15","33","And after they had spent some time  there, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth."
"asv","44","15","34"," + Some ancient authorities insert, with variations, v. 34.  But it seemed good unto Silas to abide there."
"asv","44","15","35","But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also."
"asv","44","15","36","And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they fare."
"asv","44","15","37","And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark."
"asv","44","15","38","But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work."
"asv","44","15","39","And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus:"
"asv","44","15","40","but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord."
"asv","44","15","41","And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches."
"asv","44","16","1","And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek."
"asv","44","16","2","The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium."
"asv","44","16","3","Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek."
"asv","44","16","4","And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem."
"asv","44","16","5","So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily."
"asv","44","16","6","And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;"
"asv","44","16","7","and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;"
"asv","44","16","8","and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas."
"asv","44","16","9","And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us."
"asv","44","16","10","And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them."
"asv","44","16","11","Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;"
"asv","44","16","12","and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a  Roman colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days."
"asv","44","16","13","And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together."
"asv","44","16","14","And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul."
"asv","44","16","15","And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us."
"asv","44","16","16","And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying."
"asv","44","16","17","The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation."
"asv","44","16","18","And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour."
"asv","44","16","19","But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,"
"asv","44","16","20","and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,"
"asv","44","16","21","and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans."
"asv","44","16","22","And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods."
"asv","44","16","23","And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:"
"asv","44","16","24","who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks."
"asv","44","16","25","But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;"
"asv","44","16","26","and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed."
"asv","44","16","27","And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped."
"asv","44","16","28","But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here."
"asv","44","16","29","And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,"
"asv","44","16","30","and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
"asv","44","16","31","And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house."
"asv","44","16","32","And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house."
"asv","44","16","33","And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately."
"asv","44","16","34","And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God."
"asv","44","16","35","But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go."
"asv","44","16","36","And the jailor reported the words to Paul,  saying, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace."
"asv","44","16","37","But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out."
"asv","44","16","38","And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;"
"asv","44","16","39","and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city."
"asv","44","16","40","And they went out of the prison, and entered into  the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed."
"asv","44","17","1","Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:"
"asv","44","17","2","and Paul, as his custom was, went in unto them, and for three sabbath days reasoned with them from the scriptures,"
"asv","44","17","3","opening and alleging that it behooved the Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom,  said he, I proclaim unto you, is the Christ."
"asv","44","17","4","And some of them were persuaded, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few."
"asv","44","17","5","But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took unto them certain vile fellows of the rabble, and gathering a crowd, set the city on an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them forth to the people."
"asv","44","17","6","And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;"
"asv","44","17","7","whom Jason hath received: and these all act contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king,  one Jesus."
"asv","44","17","8","And they troubled the multitude and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things."
"asv","44","17","9","And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go."
"asv","44","17","10","And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews."
"asv","44","17","11","Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so."
"asv","44","17","12","Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few."
"asv","44","17","13","But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes."
"asv","44","17","14","And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still."
"asv","44","17","15","But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed."
"asv","44","17","16","Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he beheld the city full of idols."
"asv","44","17","17","So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with them that met him."
"asv","44","17","18","And certain also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, What would this babbler say? others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached Jesus and the resurrection."
"asv","44","17","19","And they took hold of him, and brought him unto the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by thee?"
"asv","44","17","20","For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean."
"asv","44","17","21","(Now all the Athenians and the strangers sojourning there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.)"
"asv","44","17","22","And Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus, and said, Ye men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are very religious."
"asv","44","17","23","For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. What therefore ye worship in ignorance, this I set forth unto you."
"asv","44","17","24","The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;"
"asv","44","17","25","neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;"
"asv","44","17","26","and he made of one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having determined  their appointed seasons, and the bounds of their habitation;"
"asv","44","17","27","that they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us:"
"asv","44","17","28","for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."
"asv","44","17","29","Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man."
"asv","44","17","30","The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:"
"asv","44","17","31","inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead."
"asv","44","17","32","Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, We will hear thee concerning this yet again."
"asv","44","17","33","Thus Paul went out from among them."
"asv","44","17","34","But certain men clave unto him, and believed: among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them."
"asv","44","18","1","After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth."
"asv","44","18","2","And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;"
"asv","44","18","3","and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers."
"asv","44","18","4","And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks."
"asv","44","18","5","But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ."
"asv","44","18","6","And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood  be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles."
"asv","44","18","7","And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue."
"asv","44","18","8","And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized."
"asv","44","18","9","And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:"
"asv","44","18","10","for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city."
"asv","44","18","11","And he dwelt  there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them."
"asv","44","18","12","But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,"
"asv","44","18","13","saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law."
"asv","44","18","14","But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:"
"asv","44","18","15","but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters."
"asv","44","18","16","And he drove them from the judgment-seat."
"asv","44","18","17","And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things."
"asv","44","18","18","And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreæ; for he had a vow."
"asv","44","18","19","And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews."
"asv","44","18","20","And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;"
"asv","44","18","21","but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus."
"asv","44","18","22","And when he had landed at Cæsarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch."
"asv","44","18","23","And having spent some time  there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples."
"asv","44","18","24","Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures."
"asv","44","18","25","This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:"
"asv","44","18","26","and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately."
"asv","44","18","27","And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace;"
"asv","44","18","28","for he powerfully confuted the Jews,  and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ."
"asv","44","19","1","And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples:"
"asv","44","19","2","and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they  said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was  given."
"asv","44","19","3","And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism."
"asv","44","19","4","And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus."
"asv","44","19","5","And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus."
"asv","44","19","6","And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."
"asv","44","19","7","And they were in all about twelve men."
"asv","44","19","8","And he entered into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, reasoning and persuading  as to the things concerning the kingdom of God."
"asv","44","19","9","But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus."
"asv","44","19","10","And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they that dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks."
"asv","44","19","11","And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:"
"asv","44","19","12","insomuch that unto the sick were carried away from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out."
"asv","44","19","13","But certain also of the strolling Jews, exorcists, took upon them to name over them that had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth."
"asv","44","19","14","And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this."
"asv","44","19","15","And the evil spirit answered and said unto them, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?"
"asv","44","19","16","And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded."
"asv","44","19","17","And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified."
"asv","44","19","18","Many also of them that had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds."
"asv","44","19","19","And not a few of them that practised magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver."
"asv","44","19","20","So mightily grew the word of the Lord and prevailed."
"asv","44","19","21","Now after these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
"asv","44","19","22","And having sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while."
"asv","44","19","23","And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way."
"asv","44","19","24","For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;"
"asv","44","19","25","whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth."
"asv","44","19","26","And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands:"
"asv","44","19","27","and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence whom all Asia and the world worshippeth."
"asv","44","19","28","And when they heard this they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great  is Diana of the Ephesians."
"asv","44","19","29","And the city was filled with the confusion: and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel."
"asv","44","19","30","And when Paul was minded to enter in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not."
"asv","44","19","31","And certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre."
"asv","44","19","32","Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was in confusion; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together."
"asv","44","19","33","And they brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made a defence unto the people."
"asv","44","19","34","But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great  is Diana of the Ephesians."
"asv","44","19","35","And when the townclerk had quieted the multitude, he saith, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there who knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Diana, and of the  image which fell down from Jupiter?"
"asv","44","19","36","Seeing then that these things cannot be gainsaid, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash."
"asv","44","19","37","For ye have brought  hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess."
"asv","44","19","38","If therefore Demetrius, and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another."
"asv","44","19","39","But if ye seek anything about other matters, it shall be settled in the regular assembly."
"asv","44","19","40","For indeed we are in danger to be accused concerning this day’s riot, there being no cause  for it: and as touching it we shall not be able to give account of this concourse."
"asv","44","19","41","And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly."
"asv","44","20","1","And after the uproar ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia."
"asv","44","20","2","And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece."
"asv","44","20","3","And when he had spent three months  there, and a plot was laid against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia."
"asv","44","20","4","And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea,  the son of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus."
"asv","44","20","5","But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas."
"asv","44","20","6","And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days."
"asv","44","20","7","And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight."
"asv","44","20","8","And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together."
"asv","44","20","9","And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead."
"asv","44","20","10","And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him."
"asv","44","20","11","And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed."
"asv","44","20","12","And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted."
"asv","44","20","13","But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land."
"asv","44","20","14","And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene."
"asv","44","20","15","And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus."
"asv","44","20","16","For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost."
"asv","44","20","17","And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church."
"asv","44","20","18","And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,"
"asv","44","20","19","serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews;"
"asv","44","20","20","how I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,"
"asv","44","20","21","testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","44","20","22","And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:"
"asv","44","20","23","save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me."
"asv","44","20","24","But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God."
"asv","44","20","25","And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more."
"asv","44","20","26","Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men."
"asv","44","20","27","For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God."
"asv","44","20","28","Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood."
"asv","44","20","29","I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;"
"asv","44","20","30","and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them."
"asv","44","20","31","Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears."
"asv","44","20","32","And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build  you up, and to give  you the inheritance among all them that are sanctified."
"asv","44","20","33","I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel."
"asv","44","20","34","Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me."
"asv","44","20","35","In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."
"asv","44","20","36","And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all."
"asv","44","20","37","And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,"
"asv","44","20","38","sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship."
"asv","44","21","1","And when it came to pass that we were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:"
"asv","44","21","2","and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail."
"asv","44","21","3","And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden."
"asv","44","21","4","And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem."
"asv","44","21","5","And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;"
"asv","44","21","6","and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again."
"asv","44","21","7","And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day."
"asv","44","21","8","And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him."
"asv","44","21","9","Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied."
"asv","44","21","10","And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus."
"asv","44","21","11","And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."
"asv","44","21","12","And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem."
"asv","44","21","13","Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
"asv","44","21","14","And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done."
"asv","44","21","15","And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem."
"asv","44","21","16","And there went with us also  certain of the disciples from Cæsarea, bringing  with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge."
"asv","44","21","17","And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly."
"asv","44","21","18","And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present."
"asv","44","21","19","And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry."
"asv","44","21","20","And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:"
"asv","44","21","21","and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs."
"asv","44","21","22","What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come."
"asv","44","21","23","Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men that have a vow on them;"
"asv","44","21","24","these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law."
"asv","44","21","25","But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication."
"asv","44","21","26","Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them."
"asv","44","21","27","And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,"
"asv","44","21","28","crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place."
"asv","44","21","29","For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple."
"asv","44","21","30","And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut."
"asv","44","21","31","And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion."
"asv","44","21","32","And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul."
"asv","44","21","33","Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done."
"asv","44","21","34","And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle."
"asv","44","21","35","And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;"
"asv","44","21","36","for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him."
"asv","44","21","37","And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?"
"asv","44","21","38","Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
"asv","44","21","39","But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people."
"asv","44","21","40","And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,"
"asv","44","22","1","Brethren and fathers, hear ye the defence which I now make unto you."
"asv","44","22","2","And when they heard that he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he saith,"
"asv","44","22","3","I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:"
"asv","44","22","4","and I persecuted this Way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women."
"asv","44","22","5","As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and journeyed to Damascus to bring them also that were there unto Jerusalem in bonds to be punished."
"asv","44","22","6","And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me."
"asv","44","22","7","And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
"asv","44","22","8","And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest."
"asv","44","22","9","And they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me."
"asv","44","22","10","And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do."
"asv","44","22","11","And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus."
"asv","44","22","12","And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,"
"asv","44","22","13","came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him."
"asv","44","22","14","And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth."
"asv","44","22","15","For thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard."
"asv","44","22","16","And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name."
"asv","44","22","17","And it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,"
"asv","44","22","18","and saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me."
"asv","44","22","19","And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:"
"asv","44","22","20","and when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of them that slew him."
"asv","44","22","21","And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles."
"asv","44","22","22","And they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live."
"asv","44","22","23","And as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,"
"asv","44","22","24","the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him."
"asv","44","22","25","And when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?"
"asv","44","22","26","And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman."
"asv","44","22","27","And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea."
"asv","44","22","28","And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am  a Roman born."
"asv","44","22","29","They then that were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him."
"asv","44","22","30","But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them."
"asv","44","23","1","And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day."
"asv","44","23","2","And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth."
"asv","44","23","3","Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?"
"asv","44","23","4","And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?"
"asv","44","23","5","And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people."
"asv","44","23","6","But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question."
"asv","44","23","7","And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided."
"asv","44","23","8","For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both."
"asv","44","23","9","And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?"
"asv","44","23","10","And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle."
"asv","44","23","11","And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome."
"asv","44","23","12","And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul."
"asv","44","23","13","And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy."
"asv","44","23","14","And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul."
"asv","44","23","15","Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him."
"asv","44","23","16","But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul."
"asv","44","23","17","And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him."
"asv","44","23","18","So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee."
"asv","44","23","19","And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me?"
"asv","44","23","20","And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him."
"asv","44","23","21","Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee."
"asv","44","23","22","So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me."
"asv","44","23","23","And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night:"
"asv","44","23","24","and  he bade them provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor."
"asv","44","23","25","And he wrote a letter after this form:"
"asv","44","23","26","Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting."
"asv","44","23","27","This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman."
"asv","44","23","28","And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:"
"asv","44","23","29","whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds."
"asv","44","23","30","And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee."
"asv","44","23","31","So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris."
"asv","44","23","32","But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:"
"asv","44","23","33","and they, when they came to Cæsarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him."
"asv","44","23","34","And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,"
"asv","44","23","35","I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s palace."
"asv","44","24","1","And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and  with an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul."
"asv","44","24","2","And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by thy providence evils are corrected for this nation,"
"asv","44","24","3","we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness."
"asv","44","24","4","But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words."
"asv","44","24","5","For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:"
"asv","44","24","6","who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold:  + Some ancient authorities insert  and we would have judged him according to our law."
"asv","44","24","7"," + Some ancient authorities insert   But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,"
"asv","44","24","8"," + Some ancient authorities insert   commanding his accusers to come before thee. from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things whereof we accuse him."
"asv","44","24","9","And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so."
"asv","44","24","10","And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I cheerfully make my defence:"
"asv","44","24","11","seeing that thou canst take knowledge that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:"
"asv","44","24","12","and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city."
"asv","44","24","13","Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me."
"asv","44","24","14","But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;"
"asv","44","24","15","having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust."
"asv","44","24","16","Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always."
"asv","44","24","17","Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:"
"asv","44","24","18","amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but  there were certain Jews from Asia—"
"asv","44","24","19","who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me."
"asv","44","24","20","Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found when I stood before the council,"
"asv","44","24","21","except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day."
"asv","44","24","22","But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter."
"asv","44","24","23","And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him."
"asv","44","24","24","But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus."
"asv","44","24","25","And as he reasoned of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me."
"asv","44","24","26","He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him."
"asv","44","24","27","But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds."
"asv","44","25","1","Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cæsarea."
"asv","44","25","2","And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,"
"asv","44","25","3","asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way."
"asv","44","25","4","Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart  thither shortly."
"asv","44","25","5","Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him."
"asv","44","25","6","And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought."
"asv","44","25","7","And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;"
"asv","44","25","8","while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cæsar, have I sinned at all."
"asv","44","25","9","But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?"
"asv","44","25","10","But Paul said, I am standing before Cæsar’s judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest."
"asv","44","25","11","If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is  true whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar."
"asv","44","25","12","Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Cæsar: unto Cæsar shalt thou go."
"asv","44","25","13","Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cæsarea, and saluted Festus."
"asv","44","25","14","And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;"
"asv","44","25","15","about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed  me, asking for sentence against him."
"asv","44","25","16","To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him."
"asv","44","25","17","When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought."
"asv","44","25","18","Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;"
"asv","44","25","19","but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive."
"asv","44","25","20","And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters."
"asv","44","25","21","But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Cæsar."
"asv","44","25","22","And Agrippa  said unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him."
"asv","44","25","23","So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in."
"asv","44","25","24","And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer."
"asv","44","25","25","But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him."
"asv","44","25","26","Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write."
"asv","44","25","27","For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him."
"asv","44","26","1","And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence:"
"asv","44","26","2","I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defence before thee this day touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews:"
"asv","44","26","3","especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently."
"asv","44","26","4","My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;"
"asv","44","26","5","having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee."
"asv","44","26","6","And now I stand  here to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;"
"asv","44","26","7","unto which  promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!"
"asv","44","26","8","Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?"
"asv","44","26","9","I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth."
"asv","44","26","10","And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them."
"asv","44","26","11","And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities."
"asv","44","26","12","Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,"
"asv","44","26","13","at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me."
"asv","44","26","14","And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad."
"asv","44","26","15","And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest."
"asv","44","26","16","But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;"
"asv","44","26","17","delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,"
"asv","44","26","18","to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me."
"asv","44","26","19","Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:"
"asv","44","26","20","but declared both to them of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judæa, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance."
"asv","44","26","21","For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me."
"asv","44","26","22","Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;"
"asv","44","26","23","how that the Christ must suffer,  and how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles."
"asv","44","26","24","And as he thus made his defence, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning is turning thee mad."
"asv","44","26","25","But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness."
"asv","44","26","26","For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner."
"asv","44","26","27","King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest."
"asv","44","26","28","And Agrippa  said unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian."
"asv","44","26","29","And Paul  said, I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds."
"asv","44","26","30","And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:"
"asv","44","26","31","and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds."
"asv","44","26","32","And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar."
"asv","44","27","1","And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band."
"asv","44","27","2","And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us."
"asv","44","27","3","And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself."
"asv","44","27","4","And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary."
"asv","44","27","5","And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra,  a city of Lycia."
"asv","44","27","6","And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein."
"asv","44","27","7","And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;"
"asv","44","27","8","and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea."
"asv","44","27","9","And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,"
"asv","44","27","10","and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives."
"asv","44","27","11","But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul."
"asv","44","27","12","And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter  there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east."
"asv","44","27","13","And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore."
"asv","44","27","14","But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:"
"asv","44","27","15","and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven."
"asv","44","27","16","And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:"
"asv","44","27","17","and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven."
"asv","44","27","18","And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw  the freight overboard;"
"asv","44","27","19","and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship."
"asv","44","27","20","And when neither sun nor stars shone upon  us for many days, and no small tempest lay on  us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away."
"asv","44","27","21","And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss."
"asv","44","27","22","And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but  only of the ship."
"asv","44","27","23","For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,"
"asv","44","27","24","saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee."
"asv","44","27","25","Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me."
"asv","44","27","26","But we must be cast upon a certain island."
"asv","44","27","27","But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the  sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:"
"asv","44","27","28","and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms."
"asv","44","27","29","And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day."
"asv","44","27","30","And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,"
"asv","44","27","31","Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved."
"asv","44","27","32","Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off."
"asv","44","27","33","And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing."
"asv","44","27","34","Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you."
"asv","44","27","35","And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat."
"asv","44","27","36","Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food."
"asv","44","27","37","And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls."
"asv","44","27","38","And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea."
"asv","44","27","39","And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it."
"asv","44","27","40","And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach."
"asv","44","27","41","But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence  of the waves."
"asv","44","27","42","And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape."
"asv","44","27","43","But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;"
"asv","44","27","44","and the rest, some on planks, and some on  other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land."
"asv","44","28","1","And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita."
"asv","44","28","2","And the barbarians showed us no common kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold."
"asv","44","28","3","But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand."
"asv","44","28","4","And when the barbarians saw the  venomous creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live."
"asv","44","28","5","Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm."
"asv","44","28","6","But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god."
"asv","44","28","7","Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius; who received us, and entertained us three days courteously."
"asv","44","28","8","And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him."
"asv","44","28","9","And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:"
"asv","44","28","10","who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed."
"asv","44","28","11","And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers."
"asv","44","28","12","And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days."
"asv","44","28","13","And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;"
"asv","44","28","14","where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome."
"asv","44","28","15","And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage."
"asv","44","28","16","And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him."
"asv","44","28","17","And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:"
"asv","44","28","18","who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me."
"asv","44","28","19","But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation."
"asv","44","28","20","For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with me: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
"asv","44","28","21","And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judæa concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee."
"asv","44","28","22","But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
"asv","44","28","23","And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded  the matter, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening."
"asv","44","28","24","And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved."
"asv","44","28","25","And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,"
"asv","44","28","26","saying,Go thou unto this people, and say,By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand;And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:"
"asv","44","28","27","For this people’s heart is waxed gross,And their ears are dull of hearing,And their eyes they have closed;Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes,And hear with their ears,And understand with their heart,And should turn again,And I should heal them."
"asv","44","28","28","Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear."
"asv","44","28","29"," + Some ancient authorities insert v. 29:  And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves."
"asv","44","28","30","And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him,"
"asv","44","28","31","preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him."
"asv","45","1","1","Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called  to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,"
"asv","45","1","2","which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,"
"asv","45","1","3","concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,"
"asv","45","1","4","who was declared  to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead;  even  Jesus Christ our Lord,"
"asv","45","1","5","through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;"
"asv","45","1","6","among whom are ye also, called  to be Jesus Christ’s:"
"asv","45","1","7","to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called  to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","45","1","8","First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world."
"asv","45","1","9","For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers"
"asv","45","1","10","making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you."
"asv","45","1","11","For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;"
"asv","45","1","12","that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine."
"asv","45","1","13","And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles."
"asv","45","1","14","I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish."
"asv","45","1","15","So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome."
"asv","45","1","16","For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
"asv","45","1","17","For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith."
"asv","45","1","18","For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;"
"asv","45","1","19","because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them."
"asv","45","1","20","For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made,  even  his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:"
"asv","45","1","21","because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened."
"asv","45","1","22","Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,"
"asv","45","1","23","and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things."
"asv","45","1","24","Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:"
"asv","45","1","25","for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
"asv","45","1","26","For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:"
"asv","45","1","27","and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due."
"asv","45","1","28","And even as they refused to have God in  their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;"
"asv","45","1","29","being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,"
"asv","45","1","30","backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,"
"asv","45","1","31","without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:"
"asv","45","1","32","who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them."
"asv","45","2","1","Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things."
"asv","45","2","2","And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things."
"asv","45","2","3","And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?"
"asv","45","2","4","Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?"
"asv","45","2","5","but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;"
"asv","45","2","6","who will render to every man according to his works:"
"asv","45","2","7","to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:"
"asv","45","2","8","but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness,  shall be wrath and indignation,"
"asv","45","2","9","tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;"
"asv","45","2","10","but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:"
"asv","45","2","11","for there is no respect of persons with God."
"asv","45","2","12","For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;"
"asv","45","2","13","for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:"
"asv","45","2","14","(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;"
"asv","45","2","15","in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing  them);"
"asv","45","2","16","in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ."
"asv","45","2","17","But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,"
"asv","45","2","18","and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,"
"asv","45","2","19","and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,"
"asv","45","2","20","a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;"
"asv","45","2","21","thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?"
"asv","45","2","22","thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?"
"asv","45","2","23","thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?"
"asv","45","2","24","For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written."
"asv","45","2","25","For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision."
"asv","45","2","26","If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?"
"asv","45","2","27","and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?"
"asv","45","2","28","For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:"
"asv","45","2","29","but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."
"asv","45","3","1","What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?"
"asv","45","3","2","Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God."
"asv","45","3","3","For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?"
"asv","45","3","4","God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written,That thou mightest be justified in thy words,And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment."
"asv","45","3","5","But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)"
"asv","45","3","6","God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?"
"asv","45","3","7","But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?"
"asv","45","3","8","and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just."
"asv","45","3","9","What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;"
"asv","45","3","10","as it is written,There is none righteous, no, not one;"
"asv","45","3","11","There is none that understandeth,There is none that seeketh after God;"
"asv","45","3","12","They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable;There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one:"
"asv","45","3","13","Their throat is an open sepulchre;With their tongues they have used deceit:The poison of asps is under their lips:"
"asv","45","3","14","Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:"
"asv","45","3","15","Their feet are swift to shed blood;"
"asv","45","3","16","Destruction and misery are in their ways;"
"asv","45","3","17","And the way of peace have they not known:"
"asv","45","3","18","There is no fear of God before their eyes."
"asv","45","3","19","Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:"
"asv","45","3","20","because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law  cometh the knowledge of sin."
"asv","45","3","21","But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;"
"asv","45","3","22","even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;"
"asv","45","3","23","for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
"asv","45","3","24","being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
"asv","45","3","25","whom God set forth  to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;"
"asv","45","3","26","for the showing,  I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus."
"asv","45","3","27","Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith."
"asv","45","3","28","We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law."
"asv","45","3","29","Or is God  the God of Jews only? is he not  the God  of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:"
"asv","45","3","30","if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith."
"asv","45","3","31","Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law."
"asv","45","4","1","What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?"
"asv","45","4","2","For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God."
"asv","45","4","3","For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness."
"asv","45","4","4","Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt."
"asv","45","4","5","But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness."
"asv","45","4","6","Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,"
"asv","45","4","7"," saying,Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,And whose sins are covered."
"asv","45","4","8","Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin."
"asv","45","4","9","Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness."
"asv","45","4","10","How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision:"
"asv","45","4","11","and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;"
"asv","45","4","12","and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision."
"asv","45","4","13","For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith."
"asv","45","4","14","For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:"
"asv","45","4","15","for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression."
"asv","45","4","16","For this cause  it is of faith, that  it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all"
"asv","45","4","17","(as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed,  even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were."
"asv","45","4","18","Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be."
"asv","45","4","19","And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb;"
"asv","45","4","20","yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,"
"asv","45","4","21","and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform."
"asv","45","4","22","Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness."
"asv","45","4","23","Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;"
"asv","45","4","24","but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,"
"asv","45","4","25","who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification."
"asv","45","5","1","Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;"
"asv","45","5","2","through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God."
"asv","45","5","3","And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;"
"asv","45","5","4","and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:"
"asv","45","5","5","and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us."
"asv","45","5","6","For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly."
"asv","45","5","7","For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die."
"asv","45","5","8","But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
"asv","45","5","9","Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath  of God through him."
"asv","45","5","10","For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;"
"asv","45","5","11","and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation."
"asv","45","5","12","Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:—"
"asv","45","5","13","for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law."
"asv","45","5","14","Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come."
"asv","45","5","15","But not as the trespass, so also  is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many."
"asv","45","5","16","And not as through one that sinned,  so is the gift: for the judgment  came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses unto justification."
"asv","45","5","17","For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one,  even Jesus Christ."
"asv","45","5","18","So then as through one trespass  the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness  the free gift came unto all men to justification of life."
"asv","45","5","19","For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous."
"asv","45","5","20","And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:"
"asv","45","5","21","that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
"asv","45","6","1","What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"
"asv","45","6","2","God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?"
"asv","45","6","3","Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?"
"asv","45","6","4","We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life."
"asv","45","6","5","For if we have become united with  him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also  in the likeness of his resurrection;"
"asv","45","6","6","knowing this, that our old man was crucified with  him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;"
"asv","45","6","7","for he that hath died is justified from sin."
"asv","45","6","8","But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;"
"asv","45","6","9","knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him."
"asv","45","6","10","For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God."
"asv","45","6","11","Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus."
"asv","45","6","12","Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:"
"asv","45","6","13","neither present your members unto sin  as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members  as instruments of righteousness unto God."
"asv","45","6","14","For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace."
"asv","45","6","15","What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid."
"asv","45","6","16","Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves  as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
"asv","45","6","17","But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;"
"asv","45","6","18","and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness."
"asv","45","6","19","I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members  as servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members  as servants to righteousness unto sanctification."
"asv","45","6","20","For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness."
"asv","45","6","21","What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death."
"asv","45","6","22","But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life."
"asv","45","6","23","For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
"asv","45","7","1","Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?"
"asv","45","7","2","For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband."
"asv","45","7","3","So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man."
"asv","45","7","4","Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another,  even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God."
"asv","45","7","5","For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death."
"asv","45","7","6","But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter."
"asv","45","7","7","What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:"
"asv","45","7","8","but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin  is dead."
"asv","45","7","9","And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;"
"asv","45","7","10","and the commandment, which  was unto life, this I found to be unto death:"
"asv","45","7","11","for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me."
"asv","45","7","12","So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good."
"asv","45","7","13","Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good;—that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful."
"asv","45","7","14","For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin."
"asv","45","7","15","For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do."
"asv","45","7","16","But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good."
"asv","45","7","17","So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me."
"asv","45","7","18","For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good  is not."
"asv","45","7","19","For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise."
"asv","45","7","20","But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me."
"asv","45","7","21","I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present."
"asv","45","7","22","For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:"
"asv","45","7","23","but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members."
"asv","45","7","24","Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?"
"asv","45","7","25","I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."
"asv","45","8","1","There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus."
"asv","45","8","2","For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death."
"asv","45","8","3","For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"
"asv","45","8","4","that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
"asv","45","8","5","For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."
"asv","45","8","6","For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:"
"asv","45","8","7","because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:"
"asv","45","8","8","and they that are in the flesh cannot please God."
"asv","45","8","9","But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
"asv","45","8","10","And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness."
"asv","45","8","11","But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
"asv","45","8","12","So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:"
"asv","45","8","13","for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live."
"asv","45","8","14","For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
"asv","45","8","15","For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
"asv","45","8","16","The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:"
"asv","45","8","17","and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with  him, that we may be also glorified with him."
"asv","45","8","18","For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward."
"asv","45","8","19","For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God."
"asv","45","8","20","For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope"
"asv","45","8","21","that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God."
"asv","45","8","22","For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."
"asv","45","8","23","And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for  our  adoption,  to wit, the redemption of our body."
"asv","45","8","24","For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?"
"asv","45","8","25","But if we hope for that which we see not,  then do we with patience wait for it."
"asv","45","8","26","And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;"
"asv","45","8","27","and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to  the will of  God."
"asv","45","8","28","And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good,  even to them that are called according to  his purpose."
"asv","45","8","29","For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained  to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:"
"asv","45","8","30","and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
"asv","45","8","31","What then shall we say to these things? If God  is for us, who is against us?"
"asv","45","8","32","He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?"
"asv","45","8","33","Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth;"
"asv","45","8","34","who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."
"asv","45","8","35","Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?"
"asv","45","8","36","Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
"asv","45","8","37","Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
"asv","45","8","38","For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,"
"asv","45","8","39","nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
"asv","45","9","1","I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,"
"asv","45","9","2","that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart."
"asv","45","9","3","For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:"
"asv","45","9","4","who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service  of God, and the promises;"
"asv","45","9","5","whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen."
"asv","45","9","6","But  it is not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:"
"asv","45","9","7","neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called."
"asv","45","9","8","That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed."
"asv","45","9","9","For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son."
"asv","45","9","10","And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one,  even  by our father Isaac—"
"asv","45","9","11","for  the children being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,"
"asv","45","9","12","it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger."
"asv","45","9","13","Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
"asv","45","9","14","What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid."
"asv","45","9","15","For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
"asv","45","9","16","So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy."
"asv","45","9","17","For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth."
"asv","45","9","18","So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth."
"asv","45","9","19","Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?"
"asv","45","9","20","Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?"
"asv","45","9","21","Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?"
"asv","45","9","22","What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:"
"asv","45","9","23","and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,"
"asv","45","9","24"," even us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?"
"asv","45","9","25","As he saith also in Hosea,I will call that my people, which was not my people;And her beloved, that was not beloved."
"asv","45","9","26","And it shall be,  that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people,There shall they be called sons of the living God."
"asv","45","9","27","And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:"
"asv","45","9","28","for the Lord will execute  his word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short."
"asv","45","9","29","And, as Isaiah hath said before,Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed,We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah."
"asv","45","9","30","What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:"
"asv","45","9","31","but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law."
"asv","45","9","32","Wherefore? Because  they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;"
"asv","45","9","33","even as it is written,Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame."
"asv","45","10","1","Brethren, my heart’s desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved."
"asv","45","10","2","For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge."
"asv","45","10","3","For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God."
"asv","45","10","4","For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth."
"asv","45","10","5","For Moses writeth that the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby."
"asv","45","10","6","But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:)"
"asv","45","10","7","or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"
"asv","45","10","8","But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:"
"asv","45","10","9","because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus  as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:"
"asv","45","10","10","for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
"asv","45","10","11","For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame."
"asv","45","10","12","For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:"
"asv","45","10","13","for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"asv","45","10","14","How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
"asv","45","10","15","and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!"
"asv","45","10","16","But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?"
"asv","45","10","17","So belief  cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
"asv","45","10","18","But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily,Their sound went out into all the earth,And their words unto the ends of the world."
"asv","45","10","19","But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith,I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation,With a nation void of understanding will I anger you."
"asv","45","10","20","And Isaiah is very bold, and saith,I was found of them that sought me not;I became manifest unto them that asked not of me."
"asv","45","10","21","But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people."
"asv","45","11","1","I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."
"asv","45","11","2","God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:"
"asv","45","11","3","Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
"asv","45","11","4","But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
"asv","45","11","5","Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."
"asv","45","11","6","But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace."
"asv","45","11","7","What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:"
"asv","45","11","8","according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day."
"asv","45","11","9","And David saith,Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:"
"asv","45","11","10","Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,And bow thou down their back always."
"asv","45","11","11","I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation  is come unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy."
"asv","45","11","12","Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?"
"asv","45","11","13","But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;"
"asv","45","11","14","if by any means I may provoke to jealousy  them that are my flesh, and may save some of them."
"asv","45","11","15","For if the casting away of them  is the reconciling of the world, what  shall the receiving  of them be, but life from the dead?"
"asv","45","11","16","And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches."
"asv","45","11","17","But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;"
"asv","45","11","18","glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee."
"asv","45","11","19","Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
"asv","45","11","20","Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:"
"asv","45","11","21","for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee."
"asv","45","11","22","Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off."
"asv","45","11","23","And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again."
"asv","45","11","24","For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural  branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?"
"asv","45","11","25","For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;"
"asv","45","11","26","and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written,There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer;He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:"
"asv","45","11","27","And this is my covenant unto them,When I shall take away their sins."
"asv","45","11","28","As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake."
"asv","45","11","29","For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of."
"asv","45","11","30","For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,"
"asv","45","11","31","even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy."
"asv","45","11","32","For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all."
"asv","45","11","33","O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!"
"asv","45","11","34","For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?"
"asv","45","11","35","or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?"
"asv","45","11","36","For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen."
"asv","45","12","1","I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God,  which is your spiritual service."
"asv","45","12","2","And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
"asv","45","12","3","For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith."
"asv","45","12","4","For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office:"
"asv","45","12","5","so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another."
"asv","45","12","6","And having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, whether prophecy,  let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;"
"asv","45","12","7","or ministry,  let us give ourselves to our ministry; or he that teacheth, to his teaching;"
"asv","45","12","8","or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting: he that giveth,  let him do it with liberality; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness."
"asv","45","12","9","Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good."
"asv","45","12","10","In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another; in honor preferring one another;"
"asv","45","12","11","in diligence not slothful; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;"
"asv","45","12","12","rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;"
"asv","45","12","13","communicating to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality."
"asv","45","12","14","Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not."
"asv","45","12","15","Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep."
"asv","45","12","16","Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits."
"asv","45","12","17","Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men."
"asv","45","12","18","If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men."
"asv","45","12","19","Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord."
"asv","45","12","20","But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head."
"asv","45","12","21","Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
"asv","45","13","1","Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the  powers that be are ordained of God."
"asv","45","13","2","Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment."
"asv","45","13","3","For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:"
"asv","45","13","4","for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil."
"asv","45","13","5","Wherefore  ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake."
"asv","45","13","6","For for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing."
"asv","45","13","7","Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute  is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor."
"asv","45","13","8","Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law."
"asv","45","13","9","For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
"asv","45","13","10","Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law."
"asv","45","13","11","And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we  first  believed."
"asv","45","13","12","The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light."
"asv","45","13","13","Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy."
"asv","45","13","14","But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to  fulfil the lusts  thereof."
"asv","45","14","1","But him that is weak in faith receive ye,  yet not for decision of scruples."
"asv","45","14","2","One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs."
"asv","45","14","3","Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him."
"asv","45","14","4","Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand."
"asv","45","14","5","One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind."
"asv","45","14","6","He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks."
"asv","45","14","7","For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself."
"asv","45","14","8","For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s."
"asv","45","14","9","For to this end Christ died and lived  again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living."
"asv","45","14","10","But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God."
"asv","45","14","11","For it is written,As I live, saith the Lord, to me every knee shall bow,And every tongue shall confess to God."
"asv","45","14","12","So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God."
"asv","45","14","13","Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge ye this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way, or an occasion of falling."
"asv","45","14","14","I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: save that to him who accounteth anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean."
"asv","45","14","15","For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died."
"asv","45","14","16","Let not then your good be evil spoken of:"
"asv","45","14","17","for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
"asv","45","14","18","For he that herein serveth Christ is well-pleasing to God, and approved of men."
"asv","45","14","19","So then let us follow after things which make for peace, and things whereby we may edify one another."
"asv","45","14","20","Overthrow not for meat’s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence."
"asv","45","14","21","It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor  to do anything  whereby thy brother stumbleth."
"asv","45","14","22","The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth."
"asv","45","14","23","But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because  he eateth  not of faith; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
"asv","45","15","1","Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves."
"asv","45","15","2","Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying."
"asv","45","15","3","For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me."
"asv","45","15","4","For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope."
"asv","45","15","5","Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:"
"asv","45","15","6","that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","45","15","7","Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God."
"asv","45","15","8","For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises  given unto the fathers,"
"asv","45","15","9","and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written,Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles,And sing unto thy name."
"asv","45","15","10","And again he saith,Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people."
"asv","45","15","11","And again,Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles;And let all the peoples praise him."
"asv","45","15","12","And again, Isaiah saith,There shall be the root of Jesse,And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles;On him shall the Gentiles hope."
"asv","45","15","13","Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit."
"asv","45","15","14","And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another."
"asv","45","15","15","But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God,"
"asv","45","15","16","that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit."
"asv","45","15","17","I have therefore my glorying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God."
"asv","45","15","18","For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,"
"asv","45","15","19","in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;"
"asv","45","15","20","yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation;"
"asv","45","15","21","but, as it is written,They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came,And they who have not heard shall understand."
"asv","45","15","22","Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you:"
"asv","45","15","23","but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you,"
"asv","45","15","24","whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)—"
"asv","45","15","25","but now,  I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints."
"asv","45","15","26","For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem."
"asv","45","15","27","Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it  to them also to minister unto them in carnal things."
"asv","45","15","28","When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain."
"asv","45","15","29","And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ."
"asv","45","15","30","Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;"
"asv","45","15","31","that I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judæa, and that my ministration which  I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;"
"asv","45","15","32","that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest."
"asv","45","15","33","Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen."
"asv","45","16","1","I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church that is at Cenchreæ:"
"asv","45","16","2","that ye receive her in the Lord, worthily of the saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever matter she may have need of you: for she herself also hath been a helper of many, and of mine own self."
"asv","45","16","3","Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus,"
"asv","45","16","4","who for my life laid down their own necks; unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:"
"asv","45","16","5","and  salute the church that is in their house. Salute Epænetus my beloved, who is the firstfruits of Asia unto Christ."
"asv","45","16","6","Salute Mary, who bestowed much labor on you."
"asv","45","16","7","Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me."
"asv","45","16","8","Salute Ampliatus my beloved in the Lord."
"asv","45","16","9","Salute Urbanus our fellow-worker in Christ, and Stachys my beloved."
"asv","45","16","10","Salute Apelles the approved in Christ. Salute them that are of the household of Aristobulus."
"asv","45","16","11","Salute Herodion my kinsman. Salute them of the  household  of Narcissus, that are in the Lord."
"asv","45","16","12","Salute Tryphæna and Tryphosa, who labor in the Lord. Salute Persis the beloved, who labored much in the Lord."
"asv","45","16","13","Salute Rufus the chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine."
"asv","45","16","14","Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brethren that are with them."
"asv","45","16","15","Salute Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints that are with them."
"asv","45","16","16","Salute one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ salute you."
"asv","45","16","17","Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them."
"asv","45","16","18","For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent."
"asv","45","16","19","For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil."
"asv","45","16","20","And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."
"asv","45","16","21","Timothy my fellow-worker saluteth you; and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen."
"asv","45","16","22","I Tertius, who write the epistle, salute you in the Lord."
"asv","45","16","23","Gaius my host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the treasurer of the city saluteth you, and Quartus the brother."
"asv","45","16","24"," + Some ancient authorities insert here v. 24  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.  and omit the like words in v. 20."
"asv","45","16","25","Now to him that is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which hath been kept in silence through times eternal,"
"asv","45","16","26","but now is manifested, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known unto all the nations unto obedience of faith:"
"asv","45","16","27","to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory for ever. Amen."
"asv","46","1","1","Paul, called  to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,"
"asv","46","1","2","unto the church of God which is at Corinth,  even them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called  to be saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their  Lord  and ours:"
"asv","46","1","3","Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","46","1","4","I thank my God always concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus;"
"asv","46","1","5","that in everything ye were enriched in him, in all utterance and all knowledge;"
"asv","46","1","6","even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:"
"asv","46","1","7","so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ;"
"asv","46","1","8","who shall also confirm you unto the end,  that ye be unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","46","1","9","God is faithful, through whom ye were called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."
"asv","46","1","10","Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and  that there be no divisions among you; but  that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
"asv","46","1","11","For it hath been signified unto me concerning you, my brethren, by them that are of the household of Chloe, that there are contentions among you."
"asv","46","1","12","Now this I mean, that each one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ."
"asv","46","1","13","Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?"
"asv","46","1","14","I thank God that I baptized none of you, save Crispus and Gaius;"
"asv","46","1","15","lest any man should say that ye were baptized into my name."
"asv","46","1","16","And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other."
"asv","46","1","17","For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made void."
"asv","46","1","18","For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God."
"asv","46","1","19","For it is written,I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought."
"asv","46","1","20","Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"
"asv","46","1","21","For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe."
"asv","46","1","22","Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:"
"asv","46","1","23","but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;"
"asv","46","1","24","but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
"asv","46","1","25","Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
"asv","46","1","26","For behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,  are called:"
"asv","46","1","27","but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;"
"asv","46","1","28","and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose,  yea and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:"
"asv","46","1","29","that no flesh should glory before God."
"asv","46","1","30","But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:"
"asv","46","1","31","that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
"asv","46","2","1","And I, brethren, when I came unto you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God."
"asv","46","2","2","For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."
"asv","46","2","3","And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling."
"asv","46","2","4","And my speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:"
"asv","46","2","5","that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."
"asv","46","2","6","We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:"
"asv","46","2","7","but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery,  even the  wisdom  that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:"
"asv","46","2","8","which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:"
"asv","46","2","9","but as it is written,Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not,And  which entered not into the heart of man,Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him."
"asv","46","2","10","But unto us God revealed  them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."
"asv","46","2","11","For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God."
"asv","46","2","12","But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God."
"asv","46","2","13","Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual words."
"asv","46","2","14","Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged."
"asv","46","2","15","But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man."
"asv","46","2","16","For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."
"asv","46","3","1","And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ."
"asv","46","3","2","I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able  to bear it: nay, not even now are ye able;"
"asv","46","3","3","for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?"
"asv","46","3","4","For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?"
"asv","46","3","5","What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him."
"asv","46","3","6","I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase."
"asv","46","3","7","So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase."
"asv","46","3","8","Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor."
"asv","46","3","9","For we are God’s fellow-workers: ye are God’s husbandry, God’s building."
"asv","46","3","10","According to the grace of God which was given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let each man take heed how he buildeth thereon."
"asv","46","3","11","For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
"asv","46","3","12","But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble;"
"asv","46","3","13","each man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man’s work of what sort it is."
"asv","46","3","14","If any man’s work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward."
"asv","46","3","15","If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire."
"asv","46","3","16","Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and  that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"
"asv","46","3","17","If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye."
"asv","46","3","18","Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise."
"asv","46","3","19","For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:"
"asv","46","3","20","and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain."
"asv","46","3","21","Wherefore let no one glory in men. For all things are yours;"
"asv","46","3","22","whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;"
"asv","46","3","23","and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s."
"asv","46","4","1","Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God."
"asv","46","4","2","Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful."
"asv","46","4","3","But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self."
"asv","46","4","4","For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord."
"asv","46","4","5","Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God."
"asv","46","4","6","Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not  to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other."
"asv","46","4","7","For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?"
"asv","46","4","8","Already are ye filled, already ye are become rich, ye have come to reign without us: yea and I would that ye did reign, that we also might reign with you."
"asv","46","4","9","For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men."
"asv","46","4","10","We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye have glory, but we have dishonor."
"asv","46","4","11","Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling-place;"
"asv","46","4","12","and we toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;"
"asv","46","4","13","being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now."
"asv","46","4","14","I write not these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children."
"asv","46","4","15","For though ye have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet  have ye  not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you through the gospel."
"asv","46","4","16","I beseech you therefore, be ye imitators of me."
"asv","46","4","17","For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church."
"asv","46","4","18","Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you."
"asv","46","4","19","But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will; and I will know, not the word of them that are puffed up, but the power."
"asv","46","4","20","For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power."
"asv","46","4","21","What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?"
"asv","46","5","1","It is actually reported that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not even among the Gentiles, that one  of you  hath his father’s wife."
"asv","46","5","2","And ye are puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he that had done this deed might be taken away from among you."
"asv","46","5","3","For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing,"
"asv","46","5","4","in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,"
"asv","46","5","5","to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."
"asv","46","5","6","Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"
"asv","46","5","7","Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed,  even Christ:"
"asv","46","5","8","wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
"asv","46","5","9","I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;"
"asv","46","5","10","not at all  meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world:"
"asv","46","5","11","but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat."
"asv","46","5","12","For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within?"
"asv","46","5","13","But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves."
"asv","46","6","1","Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?"
"asv","46","6","2","Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
"asv","46","6","3","Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?"
"asv","46","6","4","If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church?"
"asv","46","6","5","I say  this to move you to shame. What, cannot there be found among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren,"
"asv","46","6","6","but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?"
"asv","46","6","7","Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded?"
"asv","46","6","8","Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that  your  brethren."
"asv","46","6","9","Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men,"
"asv","46","6","10","nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
"asv","46","6","11","And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God."
"asv","46","6","12","All things are lawful for me; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under the power of any."
"asv","46","6","13","Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall bring to nought both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:"
"asv","46","6","14","and God both raised the Lord, and will raise up us through his power."
"asv","46","6","15","Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take away the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid."
"asv","46","6","16","Or know ye not that he that is joined to a harlot is one body? for, The twain, saith he, shall become one flesh."
"asv","46","6","17","But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."
"asv","46","6","18","Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
"asv","46","6","19","Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;"
"asv","46","6","20","for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body."
"asv","46","7","1","Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman."
"asv","46","7","2","But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband."
"asv","46","7","3","Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto the husband."
"asv","46","7","4","The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power over his own body, but the wife."
"asv","46","7","5","Defraud ye not one the other, except it be by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, that Satan tempt you not because of your incontinency."
"asv","46","7","6","But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment."
"asv","46","7","7","Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that."
"asv","46","7","8","But I say to the unmarried and to widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I."
"asv","46","7","9","But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."
"asv","46","7","10","But unto the married I give charge,  yea not I, but the Lord, That the wife depart not from her husband"
"asv","46","7","11","(but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife."
"asv","46","7","12","But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her."
"asv","46","7","13","And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband."
"asv","46","7","14","For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy."
"asv","46","7","15","Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such  cases: but God hath called us in peace."
"asv","46","7","16","For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife?"
"asv","46","7","17","Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches."
"asv","46","7","18","Was any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Hath any been called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised."
"asv","46","7","19","Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing; but the keeping of the commandments of God."
"asv","46","7","20","Let each man abide in that calling wherein he was called."
"asv","46","7","21","Wast thou called being a bondservant? care not for it: nay, even if thou canst become free, use  it rather."
"asv","46","7","22","For he that was called in the Lord being a bondservant, is the Lord’s freedman: likewise he that was called being free, is Christ’s bondservant."
"asv","46","7","23","Ye were bought with a price; become not bondservants of men."
"asv","46","7","24","Brethren, let each man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God."
"asv","46","7","25","Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be trustworthy."
"asv","46","7","26","I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us,  namely, that it is good for a man to be as he is."
"asv","46","7","27","Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife."
"asv","46","7","28","But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you."
"asv","46","7","29","But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though they had none;"
"asv","46","7","30","and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not;"
"asv","46","7","31","and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away."
"asv","46","7","32","But I would have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord:"
"asv","46","7","33","but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,"
"asv","46","7","34","and is divided.  So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband."
"asv","46","7","35","And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction."
"asv","46","7","36","But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin  daughter, if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry."
"asv","46","7","37","But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power as touching his own will, and hath determined this in his own heart, to keep his own virgin  daughter, shall do well."
"asv","46","7","38","So then both he that giveth his own virgin  daughter in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her not in marriage shall do better."
"asv","46","7","39","A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord."
"asv","46","7","40","But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God."
"asv","46","8","1","Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth."
"asv","46","8","2","If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;"
"asv","46","8","3","but if any man loveth God, the same is known by him."
"asv","46","8","4","Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is  anything in the world, and that there is no God but one."
"asv","46","8","5","For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many;"
"asv","46","8","6","yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him."
"asv","46","8","7","Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the idol, eat as  of a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled."
"asv","46","8","8","But food will not commend us to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better."
"asv","46","8","9","But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak."
"asv","46","8","10","For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?"
"asv","46","8","11","For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died."
"asv","46","8","12","And thus, sinning against the brethren, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ."
"asv","46","8","13","Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble."
"asv","46","9","1","Am I not free? am I not an apostle? have I not seen Jesus our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?"
"asv","46","9","2","If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord."
"asv","46","9","3","My defence to them that examine me is this."
"asv","46","9","4","Have we no right to eat and to drink?"
"asv","46","9","5","Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?"
"asv","46","9","6","Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear working?"
"asv","46","9","7","What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?"
"asv","46","9","8","Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same?"
"asv","46","9","9","For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Is it for the oxen that God careth,"
"asv","46","9","10","or saith he it assuredly for our sake? Yea, for our sake it was written: because he that ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he that thresheth, to thresh in hope of partaking."
"asv","46","9","11","If we sowed unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we shall reap your carnal things?"
"asv","46","9","12","If others partake of  this right over you, do not we yet more? Nevertheless we did not use this right; but we bear all things, that we may cause no hindrance to the gospel of Christ."
"asv","46","9","13","Know ye not that they that minister about sacred things eat  of  the things of the temple,  and they that wait upon the altar have their portion with the altar?"
"asv","46","9","14","Even so did the Lord ordain that they that proclaim the gospel should live of the gospel."
"asv","46","9","15","But I have used none of these things: and I write not these things that it may be so done in my case; for  it were good for me rather to die, than that any man should make my glorying void."
"asv","46","9","16","For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; for woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel."
"asv","46","9","17","For if I do this of mine own will, I have a reward: but if not of mine own will, I have a stewardship intrusted to me."
"asv","46","9","18","What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel without charge, so as not to use to the full my right in the gospel."
"asv","46","9","19","For though I was free from all  men, I brought myself under bondage to all, that I might gain the more."
"asv","46","9","20","And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;"
"asv","46","9","21","to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law."
"asv","46","9","22","To the weak I became weak, that I might gain the weak: I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some."
"asv","46","9","23","And I do all things for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof."
"asv","46","9","24","Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain."
"asv","46","9","25","And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they  do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible."
"asv","46","9","26","I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air:"
"asv","46","9","27","but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected."
"asv","46","10","1","For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;"
"asv","46","10","2","and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;"
"asv","46","10","3","and did all eat the same spiritual food;"
"asv","46","10","4","and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ."
"asv","46","10","5","Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness."
"asv","46","10","6","Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted."
"asv","46","10","7","Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
"asv","46","10","8","Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand."
"asv","46","10","9","Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents."
"asv","46","10","10","Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer."
"asv","46","10","11","Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come."
"asv","46","10","12","Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall."
"asv","46","10","13","There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it."
"asv","46","10","14","Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry."
"asv","46","10","15","I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say."
"asv","46","10","16","The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?"
"asv","46","10","17","seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we all partake of the one bread."
"asv","46","10","18","Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar?"
"asv","46","10","19","What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?"
"asv","46","10","20","But  I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons."
"asv","46","10","21","Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons."
"asv","46","10","22","Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"
"asv","46","10","23","All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify."
"asv","46","10","24","Let no man seek his own, but  each his neighbor’s  good."
"asv","46","10","25","Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake;"
"asv","46","10","26","for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof."
"asv","46","10","27","If one of them that believe not biddeth you  to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake."
"asv","46","10","28","But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience’ sake:"
"asv","46","10","29","conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?"
"asv","46","10","30","If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?"
"asv","46","10","31","Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
"asv","46","10","32","Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:"
"asv","46","10","33","even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the  profit of the many, that they may be saved."
"asv","46","11","1","Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ."
"asv","46","11","2","Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you."
"asv","46","11","3","But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."
"asv","46","11","4","Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head."
"asv","46","11","5","But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven."
"asv","46","11","6","For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled."
"asv","46","11","7","For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."
"asv","46","11","8","For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:"
"asv","46","11","9","for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:"
"asv","46","11","10","for this cause ought the woman to have  a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels."
"asv","46","11","11","Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord."
"asv","46","11","12","For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God."
"asv","46","11","13","Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?"
"asv","46","11","14","Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?"
"asv","46","11","15","But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."
"asv","46","11","16","But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."
"asv","46","11","17","But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse."
"asv","46","11","18","For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it."
"asv","46","11","19","For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you."
"asv","46","11","20","When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:"
"asv","46","11","21","for in your eating each one taketh before  other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken."
"asv","46","11","22","What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not."
"asv","46","11","23","For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;"
"asv","46","11","24","and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me."
"asv","46","11","25","In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink  it, in remembrance of me."
"asv","46","11","26","For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come."
"asv","46","11","27","Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord."
"asv","46","11","28","But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup."
"asv","46","11","29","For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body."
"asv","46","11","30","For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep."
"asv","46","11","31","But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged."
"asv","46","11","32","But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."
"asv","46","11","33","Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another."
"asv","46","11","34","If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come."
"asv","46","12","1","Now concerning spiritual  gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant."
"asv","46","12","2","Ye know that when ye were Gentiles  ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led."
"asv","46","12","3","Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit."
"asv","46","12","4","Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit."
"asv","46","12","5","And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord."
"asv","46","12","6","And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all."
"asv","46","12","7","But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal."
"asv","46","12","8","For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit:"
"asv","46","12","9","to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;"
"asv","46","12","10","and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another  divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues:"
"asv","46","12","11","but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will."
"asv","46","12","12","For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ."
"asv","46","12","13","For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit."
"asv","46","12","14","For the body is not one member, but many."
"asv","46","12","15","If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body."
"asv","46","12","16","And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body."
"asv","46","12","17","If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?"
"asv","46","12","18","But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him."
"asv","46","12","19","And if they were all one member, where were the body?"
"asv","46","12","20","But now they are many members, but one body."
"asv","46","12","21","And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you."
"asv","46","12","22","Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:"
"asv","46","12","23","and those  parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;"
"asv","46","12","24","whereas our comely  parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that  part which lacked;"
"asv","46","12","25","that there should be no schism in the body; but  that the members should have the same care one for another."
"asv","46","12","26","And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it."
"asv","46","12","27","Now ye are the body of Christ, and severally members thereof."
"asv","46","12","28","And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues."
"asv","46","12","29","Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?"
"asv","46","12","30","have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?"
"asv","46","12","31","But desire earnestly the greater gifts. And moreover a most excellent way show I unto you."
"asv","46","13","1","If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal."
"asv","46","13","2","And if I have  the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing."
"asv","46","13","3","And if I bestow all my goods to feed  the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing."
"asv","46","13","4","Love suffereth long,  and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,"
"asv","46","13","5","doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;"
"asv","46","13","6","rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth;"
"asv","46","13","7","beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
"asv","46","13","8","Love never faileth: but whether  there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether  there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away."
"asv","46","13","9","For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;"
"asv","46","13","10","but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away."
"asv","46","13","11","When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things."
"asv","46","13","12","For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known."
"asv","46","13","13","But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love."
"asv","46","14","1","Follow after love; yet desire earnestly spiritual  gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy."
"asv","46","14","2","For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understandeth; but in the spirit he speaketh mysteries."
"asv","46","14","3","But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men edification, and exhortation, and consolation."
"asv","46","14","4","He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church."
"asv","46","14","5","Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather that ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying."
"asv","46","14","6","But now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?"
"asv","46","14","7","Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?"
"asv","46","14","8","For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?"
"asv","46","14","9","So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye will be speaking into the air."
"asv","46","14","10","There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no kind is without signification."
"asv","46","14","11","If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me."
"asv","46","14","12","So also ye, since ye are zealous of spiritual  gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church."
"asv","46","14","13","Wherefore let him that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret."
"asv","46","14","14","For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful."
"asv","46","14","15","What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also."
"asv","46","14","16","Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the unlearned say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest?"
"asv","46","14","17","For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified."
"asv","46","14","18","I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all:"
"asv","46","14","19","howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue."
"asv","46","14","20","Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men."
"asv","46","14","21","In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lord."
"asv","46","14","22","Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but prophesying  is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe."
"asv","46","14","23","If therefore the whole church be assembled together and all speak with tongues, and there come in men unlearned or unbelieving, will they not say that ye are mad?"
"asv","46","14","24","But if all prophesy, and there come in one unbelieving or unlearned, he is reproved by all, he is judged by all;"
"asv","46","14","25","the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed."
"asv","46","14","26","What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying."
"asv","46","14","27","If any man speaketh in a tongue,  let it be by two, or at the most three, and  that in turn; and let one interpret:"
"asv","46","14","28","but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God."
"asv","46","14","29","And let the prophets speak  by two or three, and let the others discern."
"asv","46","14","30","But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence."
"asv","46","14","31","For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;"
"asv","46","14","32","and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;"
"asv","46","14","33","for God is not  a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,"
"asv","46","14","34","let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law."
"asv","46","14","35","And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church."
"asv","46","14","36","What? was it from you that the word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?"
"asv","46","14","37","If any man thinketh himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of the things which I write unto you, that they are the commandment of the Lord."
"asv","46","14","38","But if any man is ignorant, let him be ignorant."
"asv","46","14","39","Wherefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues."
"asv","46","14","40","But let all things be done decently and in order."
"asv","46","15","1","Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,"
"asv","46","15","2","by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain."
"asv","46","15","3","For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;"
"asv","46","15","4","and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;"
"asv","46","15","5","and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;"
"asv","46","15","6","then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;"
"asv","46","15","7","then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;"
"asv","46","15","8","and last of all, as to the  child untimely born, he appeared to me also."
"asv","46","15","9","For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God."
"asv","46","15","10","But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."
"asv","46","15","11","Whether then  it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed."
"asv","46","15","12","Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?"
"asv","46","15","13","But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:"
"asv","46","15","14","and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain."
"asv","46","15","15","Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised."
"asv","46","15","16","For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:"
"asv","46","15","17","and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins."
"asv","46","15","18","Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished."
"asv","46","15","19","If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable."
"asv","46","15","20","But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep."
"asv","46","15","21","For since by man  came death, by man  came also the resurrection of the dead."
"asv","46","15","22","For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive."
"asv","46","15","23","But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming."
"asv","46","15","24","Then  cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power."
"asv","46","15","25","For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet."
"asv","46","15","26","The last enemy that shall be abolished is death."
"asv","46","15","27","For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him."
"asv","46","15","28","And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all."
"asv","46","15","29","Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?"
"asv","46","15","30","Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?"
"asv","46","15","31","I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."
"asv","46","15","32","If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."
"asv","46","15","33","Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals."
"asv","46","15","34","Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak  this to move you to shame."
"asv","46","15","35","But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?"
"asv","46","15","36","Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:"
"asv","46","15","37","and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;"
"asv","46","15","38","but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own."
"asv","46","15","39","All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one  flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes."
"asv","46","15","40","There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the  glory of the terrestrial is another."
"asv","46","15","41","There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory."
"asv","46","15","42","So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:"
"asv","46","15","43","it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:"
"asv","46","15","44","it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual  body."
"asv","46","15","45","So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam  became a life-giving spirit."
"asv","46","15","46","Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual."
"asv","46","15","47","The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven."
"asv","46","15","48","As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly."
"asv","46","15","49","And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly."
"asv","46","15","50","Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption."
"asv","46","15","51","Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,"
"asv","46","15","52","in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
"asv","46","15","53","For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."
"asv","46","15","54","But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
"asv","46","15","55","O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?"
"asv","46","15","56","The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:"
"asv","46","15","57","but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","46","15","58","Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord."
"asv","46","16","1","Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye."
"asv","46","16","2","Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come."
"asv","46","16","3","And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem:"
"asv","46","16","4","and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me."
"asv","46","16","5","But I will come unto you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia; for I pass through Macedonia;"
"asv","46","16","6","but with you it may be that I shall abide, or even winter, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I go."
"asv","46","16","7","For I do not wish to see you now by the way; for I hope to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit."
"asv","46","16","8","But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost;"
"asv","46","16","9","for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."
"asv","46","16","10","Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do:"
"asv","46","16","11","let no man therefore despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come unto me: for I expect him with the brethren."
"asv","46","16","12","But as touching Apollos the brother, I besought him much to come unto you with the brethren: and it was not at all  his will to come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity."
"asv","46","16","13","Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
"asv","46","16","14","Let all that ye do be done in love."
"asv","46","16","15","Now I beseech you, brethren (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to minister unto the saints),"
"asv","46","16","16","that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboreth."
"asv","46","16","17","And I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they supplied."
"asv","46","16","18","For they refreshed my spirit and yours: acknowledge ye therefore them that are such."
"asv","46","16","19","The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house."
"asv","46","16","20","All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss."
"asv","46","16","21","The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand."
"asv","46","16","22","If any man loveth not the Lord, let him be anathema. Maranatha."
"asv","46","16","23","The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you."
"asv","46","16","24","My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen."
"asv","47","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in the whole of Achaia:"
"asv","47","1","2","Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","47","1","3","Blessed  be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort;"
"asv","47","1","4","who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
"asv","47","1","5","For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ."
"asv","47","1","6","But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:"
"asv","47","1","7","and our hope for you is stedfast; knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort."
"asv","47","1","8","For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning our affliction which befell  us in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, insomuch that we despaired even of life:"
"asv","47","1","9","yea, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead:"
"asv","47","1","10","who delivered us out of so great a death, and will deliver: on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us;"
"asv","47","1","11","ye also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift bestowed upon us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf."
"asv","47","1","12","For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward."
"asv","47","1","13","For we write no other things unto you, than what ye read or even acknowledge, and I hope ye will acknowledge unto the end:"
"asv","47","1","14","as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that we are your glorying, even as ye also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus."
"asv","47","1","15","And in this confidence I was minded to come first unto you, that ye might have a second benefit;"
"asv","47","1","16","and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come unto you, and of you to be set forward on my journey unto Judæa."
"asv","47","1","17","When I therefore was thus minded, did I show fickleness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the yea yea and the nay nay?"
"asv","47","1","18","But as God is faithful, our word toward you is not yea and nay."
"asv","47","1","19","For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea."
"asv","47","1","20","For how many soever be the promises of God, in him is the yea: wherefore also through him is the Amen, unto the glory of God through us."
"asv","47","1","21","Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ, and anointed us, is God;"
"asv","47","1","22","who also sealed us, and gave  us the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."
"asv","47","1","23","But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I forbare to come unto Corinth."
"asv","47","1","24","Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast."
"asv","47","2","1","But I determined this for myself, that I would not come again to you with sorrow."
"asv","47","2","2","For if I make you sorry, who then is he that maketh me glad but he that is made sorry by me?"
"asv","47","2","3","And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all."
"asv","47","2","4","For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you."
"asv","47","2","5","But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all."
"asv","47","2","6","Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was  inflicted  by the many;"
"asv","47","2","7","so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow."
"asv","47","2","8","Wherefore I beseech you to confirm  your love toward him."
"asv","47","2","9","For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things."
"asv","47","2","10","But to whom ye forgive anything, I  forgive also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes  have I forgiven it in the presence of Christ;"
"asv","47","2","11","that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices."
"asv","47","2","12","Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord,"
"asv","47","2","13","I had no relief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia."
"asv","47","2","14","But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place."
"asv","47","2","15","For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;"
"asv","47","2","16","to the one a savor from death unto death; to the other a savor from life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?"
"asv","47","2","17","For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ."
"asv","47","3","1","Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of commendation to you or from you?"
"asv","47","3","2","Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men;"
"asv","47","3","3","being made manifest that ye are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in tables  that are hearts of flesh."
"asv","47","3","4","And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:"
"asv","47","3","5","not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;"
"asv","47","3","6","who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
"asv","47","3","7","But if the ministration of death, written,  and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which  glory  was passing away:"
"asv","47","3","8","how shall not rather the ministration of the spirit be with glory?"
"asv","47","3","9","For if the ministration of condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory."
"asv","47","3","10","For verily that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasseth."
"asv","47","3","11","For if that which passeth away  was with glory, much more that which remaineth  is in glory."
"asv","47","3","12","Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,"
"asv","47","3","13","and  are not as Moses,  who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away:"
"asv","47","3","14","but their minds were hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remaineth, it not being revealed  to them  that it is done away in Christ."
"asv","47","3","15","But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lieth upon their heart."
"asv","47","3","16","But whensoever it shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away."
"asv","47","3","17","Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
"asv","47","3","18","But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit."
"asv","47","4","1","Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, we faint not:"
"asv","47","4","2","but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God."
"asv","47","4","3","And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish:"
"asv","47","4","4","in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn  upon them."
"asv","47","4","5","For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake."
"asv","47","4","6","Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
"asv","47","4","7","But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;"
"asv","47","4","8"," we are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair;"
"asv","47","4","9","pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed;"
"asv","47","4","10","always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body."
"asv","47","4","11","For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh."
"asv","47","4","12","So then death worketh in us, but life in you."
"asv","47","4","13","But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak;"
"asv","47","4","14","knowing that he that raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also with Jesus, and shall present us with you."
"asv","47","4","15","For all things  are for your sakes, that the grace, being multiplied through the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound unto the glory of God."
"asv","47","4","16","Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day."
"asv","47","4","17","For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;"
"asv","47","4","18","while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
"asv","47","5","1","For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens."
"asv","47","5","2","For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:"
"asv","47","5","3","if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked."
"asv","47","5","4","For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life."
"asv","47","5","5","Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit."
"asv","47","5","6","Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord"
"asv","47","5","7","(for we walk by faith, not by sight);"
"asv","47","5","8","we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord."
"asv","47","5","9","Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him."
"asv","47","5","10","For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things  done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether  it be good or bad."
"asv","47","5","11","Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences."
"asv","47","5","12","We are not again commending ourselves unto you, but  speak  as giving you occasion of glorying on our behalf, that ye may have wherewith to answer them that glory in appearance, and not in heart."
"asv","47","5","13","For whether we are beside ourselves, it is unto God; or whether we are of sober mind, it is unto you."
"asv","47","5","14","For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that one died for all, therefore all died;"
"asv","47","5","15","and he died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again."
"asv","47","5","16","Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know  him so no more."
"asv","47","5","17","Wherefore if any man is in Christ,  he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new."
"asv","47","5","18","But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation;"
"asv","47","5","19","to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation."
"asv","47","5","20","We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech  you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God."
"asv","47","5","21","Him who knew no sin he made  to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him."
"asv","47","6","1","And working together  with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain"
"asv","47","6","2","(for he saith,At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee,And in a day of salvation did I succor thee:"
"asv","47","6","3","giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;"
"asv","47","6","4","but in everything commending ourselves, as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,"
"asv","47","6","5","in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;"
"asv","47","6","6","in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned,"
"asv","47","6","7","in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,"
"asv","47","6","8","by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;"
"asv","47","6","9","as unknown, and  yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;"
"asv","47","6","10","as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and  yet possessing all things."
"asv","47","6","11","Our mouth is open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart is enlarged."
"asv","47","6","12","Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own affections."
"asv","47","6","13","Now for a recompense in like kind (I speak as unto  my children), be ye also enlarged."
"asv","47","6","14","Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?"
"asv","47","6","15","And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever?"
"asv","47","6","16","And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
"asv","47","6","17","WhereforeCome ye out from among them, and be ye separate,And touch no unclean thing;And I will receive you,"
"asv","47","6","18","And will be to you a Father,And ye shall be to me sons and daughters,"
"asv","47","7","1","Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
"asv","47","7","2","Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man."
"asv","47","7","3","I say it not to condemn  you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die together and live together."
"asv","47","7","4","Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying on your behalf: I am filled with comfort, I overflow with joy in all our affliction."
"asv","47","7","5","For even when we were come into Macedonia our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side; without  were fightings, within  were fears."
"asv","47","7","6","Nevertheless he that comforteth the lowly,  even God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;"
"asv","47","7","7","and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort wherewith he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced yet more."
"asv","47","7","8","For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret  it (for I see that that epistle made you sorry, though but for a season),"
"asv","47","7","9","I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing."
"asv","47","7","10","For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation,  a repentance  which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
"asv","47","7","11","For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter."
"asv","47","7","12","So although I wrote unto you,  I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be made manifest unto you in the sight of God."
"asv","47","7","13","Therefore we have been comforted: and in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit hath been refreshed by you all."
"asv","47","7","14","For if in anything I have gloried to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame; but as we spake all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth."
"asv","47","7","15","And his affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him."
"asv","47","7","16","I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you."
"asv","47","8","1","Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia;"
"asv","47","8","2","how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality."
"asv","47","8","3","For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord,"
"asv","47","8","4","beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints:"
"asv","47","8","5","and  this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God."
"asv","47","8","6","Insomuch that we exhorted Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he would also complete in you this grace also."
"asv","47","8","7","But as ye abound in everything,  in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and  in all earnestness, and  in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also."
"asv","47","8","8","I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love."
"asv","47","8","9","For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich."
"asv","47","8","10","And herein I give  my judgment: for this is expedient for you, who were the first to make a beginning a year ago, not only to do, but also to will."
"asv","47","8","11","But now complete the doing also; that as  there was the readiness to will, so  there may be the completion also out of your ability."
"asv","47","8","12","For if the readiness is there,  it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as  he hath not."
"asv","47","8","13","For  I say not  this that others may be eased and ye distressed;"
"asv","47","8","14","but by equality: your abundance  being a supply at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become  a supply  for your want; that there may be equality:"
"asv","47","8","15","as it is written, He that  gathered much had nothing over; and he that  gathered little had no lack."
"asv","47","8","16","But thanks be to God, who putteth the same earnest care for you into the heart of Titus."
"asv","47","8","17","For he accepted indeed our exhortation; but being himself very earnest, he went forth unto you of his own accord."
"asv","47","8","18","And we have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the gospel  is spread through all the churches;"
"asv","47","8","19","and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in  the matter of this grace, which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord, and  to show our readiness:"
"asv","47","8","20","Avoiding this, that any man should blame us in  the matter of  this bounty which is ministered by us:"
"asv","47","8","21","for we take thought for things honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men."
"asv","47","8","22","And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the great confidence which  he hath in you."
"asv","47","8","23","Whether  any inquire about Titus,  he is my partner and  my fellow-worker to you-ward; or our brethren,  they are  the messengers of the churches,  they are the glory of Christ."
"asv","47","8","24","Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf."
"asv","47","9","1","For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:"
"asv","47","9","2","for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them."
"asv","47","9","3","But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared:"
"asv","47","9","4","lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence."
"asv","47","9","5","I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion."
"asv","47","9","6","But this  I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
"asv","47","9","7"," Let each man  do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
"asv","47","9","8","And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:"
"asv","47","9","9","as it is written,He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor;His righteousness abideth for ever."
"asv","47","9","10","And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:"
"asv","47","9","11","ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God."
"asv","47","9","12","For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;"
"asv","47","9","13","seeing that through the proving  of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of  your contribution unto them and unto all;"
"asv","47","9","14","while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you."
"asv","47","9","15","Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift."
"asv","47","10","1","Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:"
"asv","47","10","2","yea, I beseech you, that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of us as if we walked according to the flesh."
"asv","47","10","3","For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh"
"asv","47","10","4","(for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds);"
"asv","47","10","5","casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;"
"asv","47","10","6","and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full."
"asv","47","10","7","Ye look at the things that are before your face. If any man trusteth in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that, even as he is Christ’s, so also are we."
"asv","47","10","8","For though I should glory somewhat abundantly concerning our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down), I shall not be put to shame:"
"asv","47","10","9","that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters."
"asv","47","10","10","For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account."
"asv","47","10","11","Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such  are we also in deed when we are present."
"asv","47","10","12","For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding."
"asv","47","10","13","But we will not glory beyond  our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you."
"asv","47","10","14","For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:"
"asv","47","10","15","not glorying beyond  our measure,  that is, in other men’s labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto  further abundance,"
"asv","47","10","16","so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you,  and  not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand."
"asv","47","10","17","But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."
"asv","47","10","18","For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."
"asv","47","11","1","Would that ye could bear with me in a little foolishness: but indeed ye do bear with me."
"asv","47","11","2","For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I espoused you to one husband, that I might present you  as a pure virgin to Christ."
"asv","47","11","3","But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ."
"asv","47","11","4","For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with  him."
"asv","47","11","5","For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles."
"asv","47","11","6","But though  I be rude in speech, yet  am I not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made  this manifest unto you in all things."
"asv","47","11","7","Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?"
"asv","47","11","8","I robbed other churches, taking wages  of them that I might minister unto you;"
"asv","47","11","9","and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and  so will I keep  myself."
"asv","47","11","10","As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia."
"asv","47","11","11","Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth."
"asv","47","11","12","But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we."
"asv","47","11","13","For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ."
"asv","47","11","14","And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light."
"asv","47","11","15","It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
"asv","47","11","16","I say again, Let no man think me foolish; but if  ye do, yet as foolish receive me, that I also may glory a little."
"asv","47","11","17","That which I speak, I speak not after the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of glorying."
"asv","47","11","18","Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also."
"asv","47","11","19","For ye bear with the foolish gladly, being wise  yourselves."
"asv","47","11","20","For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if he devoureth you, if he taketh you  captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face."
"asv","47","11","21","I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet whereinsoever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also."
"asv","47","11","22","Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I."
"asv","47","11","23","Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft."
"asv","47","11","24","Of the Jews five times received I forty  stripes save one."
"asv","47","11","25","Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep;"
"asv","47","11","26"," in journeyings often,  in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers,  in perils from  my countrymen,  in perils from the Gentiles,  in perils in the city,  in perils in the wilderness,  in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;"
"asv","47","11","27"," in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness."
"asv","47","11","28","Besides those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches."
"asv","47","11","29","Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is caused to stumble, and I burn not?"
"asv","47","11","30","If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness."
"asv","47","11","31","The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore knoweth that I lie not."
"asv","47","11","32","In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes in order to take me:"
"asv","47","11","33","and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands."
"asv","47","12","1","I must needs glory, though it is not expedient; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord."
"asv","47","12","2","I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven."
"asv","47","12","3","And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth),"
"asv","47","12","4","how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
"asv","47","12","5","On behalf of such a one will I glory: but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in  my weaknesses."
"asv","47","12","6","For if I should desire to glory, I shall not be foolish; for I shall speak the truth: but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me  to be, or heareth from me."
"asv","47","12","7","And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch."
"asv","47","12","8","Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me."
"asv","47","12","9","And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
"asv","47","12","10","Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
"asv","47","12","11","I am become foolish: ye compelled me; for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I am nothing."
"asv","47","12","12","Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, by signs and wonders and mighty works."
"asv","47","12","13","For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except  it be that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong."
"asv","47","12","14","Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children."
"asv","47","12","15","And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?"
"asv","47","12","16","But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile."
"asv","47","12","17","Did I take advantage of you by any one of them whom I have sent unto you?"
"asv","47","12","18","I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit?  walked we not in the same steps?"
"asv","47","12","19","Ye think all this time that we are excusing ourselves unto you. In the sight of God speak we in Christ. But all things, beloved,  are for your edifying."
"asv","47","12","20","For I fear, lest by any means, when I come, I should find you not such as I would, and should myself be found of you such as ye would not; lest by any means  there should be strife, jealousy, wraths, factions, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults;"
"asv","47","12","21","lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed."
"asv","47","13","1","This is the third time I am coming to you. At the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every word be established."
"asv","47","13","2","I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was present the second time, so now, being absent, to them that have sinned heretofore, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;"
"asv","47","13","3","seeing that ye seek a proof of Christ that speaketh in me; who to you-ward is not weak, but is powerful in you:"
"asv","47","13","4","for he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth through the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him through the power of God toward you."
"asv","47","13","5","Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate."
"asv","47","13","6","But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate."
"asv","47","13","7","Now we pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is honorable, though we be as reprobate."
"asv","47","13","8","For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth."
"asv","47","13","9","For we rejoice, when we are weak, and ye are strong: this we also pray for, even your perfecting."
"asv","47","13","10","For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not when present deal sharply, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for casting down."
"asv","47","13","11","Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you."
"asv","47","13","12","Salute one another with a holy kiss."
"asv","47","13","13","All the saints salute you."
"asv","47","13","14","The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."
"asv","48","1","1","Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),"
"asv","48","1","2","and all the brethren that are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:"
"asv","48","1","3","Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,"
"asv","48","1","4","who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:"
"asv","48","1","5","to whom  be the glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","48","1","6","I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;"
"asv","48","1","7","which is not another  gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."
"asv","48","1","8","But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema."
"asv","48","1","9","As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema."
"asv","48","1","10","For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ."
"asv","48","1","11","For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man."
"asv","48","1","12","For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ."
"asv","48","1","13","For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havoc of it:"
"asv","48","1","14","and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers."
"asv","48","1","15","But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me,  even  from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,"
"asv","48","1","16","to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood:"
"asv","48","1","17","neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus."
"asv","48","1","18","Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days."
"asv","48","1","19","But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother."
"asv","48","1","20","Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not."
"asv","48","1","21","Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia."
"asv","48","1","22","And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judæa which were in Christ:"
"asv","48","1","23","but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havoc;"
"asv","48","1","24","and they glorified God in me."
"asv","48","2","1","Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me."
"asv","48","2","2","And I went up by revelation; and I laid before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles but privately before them who were of repute, lest by any means I should be running, or had run, in vain."
"asv","48","2","3","But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:"
"asv","48","2","4","and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:"
"asv","48","2","5","to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you."
"asv","48","2","6","But from those who were reputed to be somewhat (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth not man’s person)—they, I say, who were of repute imparted nothing to me:"
"asv","48","2","7","but contrariwise, when they saw that I had been intrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision, even as Peter with  the gospel of the circumcision"
"asv","48","2","8","(for he that wrought for Peter unto the apostleship of the circumcision wrought for me also unto the Gentiles);"
"asv","48","2","9","and when they perceived the grace that was given unto me, James and Cephas and John, they who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they unto the circumcision;"
"asv","48","2","10","only  they would that we should remember the poor; which very thing I was also zealous to do."
"asv","48","2","11","But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned."
"asv","48","2","12","For before that certain came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing them that were of the circumcision."
"asv","48","2","13","And the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation."
"asv","48","2","14","But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before  them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?"
"asv","48","2","15","We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,"
"asv","48","2","16","yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."
"asv","48","2","17","But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid."
"asv","48","2","18","For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor."
"asv","48","2","19","For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God."
"asv","48","2","20","I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that  life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith,  the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me."
"asv","48","2","21","I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought."
"asv","48","3","1","O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified?"
"asv","48","3","2","This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
"asv","48","3","3","Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now perfected in the flesh?"
"asv","48","3","4","Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain."
"asv","48","3","5","He therefore that supplieth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you,  doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
"asv","48","3","6","Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness."
"asv","48","3","7","Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham."
"asv","48","3","8","And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham,  saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed."
"asv","48","3","9","So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham."
"asv","48","3","10","For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."
"asv","48","3","11","Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;"
"asv","48","3","12","and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them."
"asv","48","3","13","Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"
"asv","48","3","14","that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
"asv","48","3","15","Brethren, I speak after the manner of men: Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet when it hath been confirmed, no one maketh it void, or addeth thereto."
"asv","48","3","16","Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ."
"asv","48","3","17","Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promise of none effect."
"asv","48","3","18","For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise."
"asv","48","3","19","What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made;  and it was  ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator."
"asv","48","3","20","Now a mediator is not  a mediator of one; but God is one."
"asv","48","3","21","Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law."
"asv","48","3","22","But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe."
"asv","48","3","23","But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed."
"asv","48","3","24","So that the law is become our tutor  to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith."
"asv","48","3","25","But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor."
"asv","48","3","26","For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus."
"asv","48","3","27","For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ."
"asv","48","3","28","There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one  man in Christ Jesus."
"asv","48","3","29","And if ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise."
"asv","48","4","1","But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant though he is lord of all;"
"asv","48","4","2","but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed of the father."
"asv","48","4","3","So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world:"
"asv","48","4","4","but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,"
"asv","48","4","5","that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."
"asv","48","4","6","And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father."
"asv","48","4","7","So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God."
"asv","48","4","8","Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods:"
"asv","48","4","9","but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again?"
"asv","48","4","10","Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and years."
"asv","48","4","11","I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain."
"asv","48","4","12","I beseech you, brethren, become as I  am, for I also am become as ye  are. Ye did me no wrong:"
"asv","48","4","13","but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you the first time:"
"asv","48","4","14","and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God,  even as Christ Jesus."
"asv","48","4","15","Where then is that gratulation of yourselves? for I bear you witness, that, if possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me."
"asv","48","4","16","So then am I become your enemy, by telling you the truth?"
"asv","48","4","17","They zealously seek you in no good way; nay, they desire to shut you out, that ye may seek them."
"asv","48","4","18","But it is good to be zealously sought in a good matter at all times, and not only when I am present with you."
"asv","48","4","19","My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you—"
"asv","48","4","20","but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone; for I am perplexed about you."
"asv","48","4","21","Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?"
"asv","48","4","22","For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman."
"asv","48","4","23","Howbeit the  son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the  son by the freewoman  is born through promise."
"asv","48","4","24","Which things contain an allegory: for these  women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar."
"asv","48","4","25","Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children."
"asv","48","4","26","But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother."
"asv","48","4","27","For it is written,Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not;Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not:For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband."
"asv","48","4","28","Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise."
"asv","48","4","29","But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him  that was born after the Spirit, so also it is now."
"asv","48","4","30","Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman."
"asv","48","4","31","Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman."
"asv","48","5","1","For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage."
"asv","48","5","2","Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing."
"asv","48","5","3","Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law."
"asv","48","5","4","Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace."
"asv","48","5","5","For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness."
"asv","48","5","6","For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love."
"asv","48","5","7","Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth?"
"asv","48","5","8","This persuasion  came not of him that calleth you."
"asv","48","5","9","A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."
"asv","48","5","10","I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be."
"asv","48","5","11","But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away."
"asv","48","5","12","I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision."
"asv","48","5","13","For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only  use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another."
"asv","48","5","14","For the whole law is fulfilled in one word,  even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
"asv","48","5","15","But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another."
"asv","48","5","16","But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh."
"asv","48","5","17","For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would."
"asv","48","5","18","But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law."
"asv","48","5","19","Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are  these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,"
"asv","48","5","20","idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,"
"asv","48","5","21","envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
"asv","48","5","22","But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,"
"asv","48","5","23","meekness, self-control; against such there is no law."
"asv","48","5","24","And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof."
"asv","48","5","25","If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk."
"asv","48","5","26","Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another."
"asv","48","6","1","Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
"asv","48","6","2","Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
"asv","48","6","3","For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."
"asv","48","6","4","But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor."
"asv","48","6","5","For each man shall bear his own burden."
"asv","48","6","6","But let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things."
"asv","48","6","7","Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
"asv","48","6","8","For he that soweth unto his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth unto the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life."
"asv","48","6","9","And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
"asv","48","6","10","So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith."
"asv","48","6","11","See with how large letters I write unto you with mine own hand."
"asv","48","6","12","As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ."
"asv","48","6","13","For not even they who receive circumcision do themselves keep the law; but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh."
"asv","48","6","14","But far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world hath been crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
"asv","48","6","15","For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature."
"asv","48","6","16","And as many as shall walk by this rule, peace  be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."
"asv","48","6","17","Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus."
"asv","48","6","18","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen."
"asv","49","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:"
"asv","49","1","2","Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","49","1","3","Blessed  be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly  places  in Christ:"
"asv","49","1","4","even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:"
"asv","49","1","5","having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,"
"asv","49","1","6","to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:"
"asv","49","1","7","in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,"
"asv","49","1","8","which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,"
"asv","49","1","9","making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him"
"asv","49","1","10","unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,"
"asv","49","1","11","in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;"
"asv","49","1","12","to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:"
"asv","49","1","13","in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,—in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,"
"asv","49","1","14","which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, unto the praise of his glory."
"asv","49","1","15","For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which  ye show toward all the saints,"
"asv","49","1","16","cease not to give thanks for you, making mention  of you in my prayers;"
"asv","49","1","17","that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;"
"asv","49","1","18","having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,"
"asv","49","1","19","and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might"
"asv","49","1","20","which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly  places,"
"asv","49","1","21","far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:"
"asv","49","1","22","and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,"
"asv","49","1","23","which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all."
"asv","49","2","1","And you  did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins,"
"asv","49","2","2","wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience;"
"asv","49","2","3","among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—"
"asv","49","2","4","but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,"
"asv","49","2","5","even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),"
"asv","49","2","6","and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus:"
"asv","49","2","7","that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:"
"asv","49","2","8","for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves,  it is the gift of God;"
"asv","49","2","9","not of works, that no man should glory."
"asv","49","2","10","For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them."
"asv","49","2","11","Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;"
"asv","49","2","12","that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world."
"asv","49","2","13","But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ."
"asv","49","2","14","For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,"
"asv","49","2","15","having abolished in his flesh the enmity,  even the law of commandments  contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man,  so making peace;"
"asv","49","2","16","and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:"
"asv","49","2","17","and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:"
"asv","49","2","18","for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father."
"asv","49","2","19","So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,"
"asv","49","2","20","being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;"
"asv","49","2","21","in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;"
"asv","49","2","22","in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit."
"asv","49","3","1","For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,—"
"asv","49","3","2","if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;"
"asv","49","3","3","how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,"
"asv","49","3","4","whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;"
"asv","49","3","5","which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;"
"asv","49","3","6"," to wit, that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,"
"asv","49","3","7","whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power."
"asv","49","3","8","Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;"
"asv","49","3","9","and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;"
"asv","49","3","10","to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly  places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,"
"asv","49","3","11","according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:"
"asv","49","3","12","in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him."
"asv","49","3","13","Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory."
"asv","49","3","14","For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,"
"asv","49","3","15","from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,"
"asv","49","3","16","that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;"
"asv","49","3","17","that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,"
"asv","49","3","18","may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,"
"asv","49","3","19","and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God."
"asv","49","3","20","Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
"asv","49","3","21","unto him  be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","49","4","1","I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,"
"asv","49","4","2","with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;"
"asv","49","4","3","giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
"asv","49","4","4"," There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;"
"asv","49","4","5","one Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
"asv","49","4","6","one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all."
"asv","49","4","7","But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ."
"asv","49","4","8","Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men."
"asv","49","4","9","(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?"
"asv","49","4","10","He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)"
"asv","49","4","11","And he gave some  to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;"
"asv","49","4","12","for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:"
"asv","49","4","13","till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:"
"asv","49","4","14","that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;"
"asv","49","4","15","but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head,  even Christ;"
"asv","49","4","16","from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in  due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love."
"asv","49","4","17","This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,"
"asv","49","4","18","being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;"
"asv","49","4","19","who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness."
"asv","49","4","20","But ye did not so learn Christ;"
"asv","49","4","21","if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:"
"asv","49","4","22","that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;"
"asv","49","4","23","and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,"
"asv","49","4","24","and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth."
"asv","49","4","25","Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another."
"asv","49","4","26","Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"
"asv","49","4","27","neither give place to the devil."
"asv","49","4","28","Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need."
"asv","49","4","29","Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear."
"asv","49","4","30","And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption."
"asv","49","4","31","Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:"
"asv","49","4","32","and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you."
"asv","49","5","1","Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children;"
"asv","49","5","2","and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell."
"asv","49","5","3","But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;"
"asv","49","5","4","nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks."
"asv","49","5","5","For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God."
"asv","49","5","6","Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience."
"asv","49","5","7","Be not ye therefore partakers with them;"
"asv","49","5","8","For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light"
"asv","49","5","9","(for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),"
"asv","49","5","10","proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;"
"asv","49","5","11","and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;"
"asv","49","5","12","for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of."
"asv","49","5","13","But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light."
"asv","49","5","14","Wherefore  he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee."
"asv","49","5","15","Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;"
"asv","49","5","16","redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
"asv","49","5","17","Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
"asv","49","5","18","And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;"
"asv","49","5","19","speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;"
"asv","49","5","20","giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;"
"asv","49","5","21","subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ."
"asv","49","5","22","Wives,  be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord."
"asv","49","5","23","For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church,  being himself the saviour of the body."
"asv","49","5","24","But as the church is subject to Christ, so  let the wives also be to their husbands in everything."
"asv","49","5","25","Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;"
"asv","49","5","26","that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,"
"asv","49","5","27","that he might present the church to himself a glorious  church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
"asv","49","5","28","Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:"
"asv","49","5","29","for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church;"
"asv","49","5","30","because we are members of his body."
"asv","49","5","31","For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh."
"asv","49","5","32","This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church."
"asv","49","5","33","Nevertheless do ye also severally love each one his own wife even as himself; and  let the wife  see that she fear her husband."
"asv","49","6","1","Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right."
"asv","49","6","2","Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with promise),"
"asv","49","6","3","that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."
"asv","49","6","4","And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the Lord."
"asv","49","6","5","Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;"
"asv","49","6","6","not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;"
"asv","49","6","7","with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men:"
"asv","49","6","8","knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether  he be bond or free."
"asv","49","6","9","And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him."
"asv","49","6","10","Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might."
"asv","49","6","11","Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
"asv","49","6","12","For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual  hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
"asv","49","6","13","Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand."
"asv","49","6","14","Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,"
"asv","49","6","15","and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;"
"asv","49","6","16","withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil  one."
"asv","49","6","17","And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"
"asv","49","6","18","with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,"
"asv","49","6","19","And on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,"
"asv","49","6","20","for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
"asv","49","6","21","But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:"
"asv","49","6","22","whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts."
"asv","49","6","23","Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","49","6","24","Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with  a love  incorruptible."
"asv","50","1","1","Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:"
"asv","50","1","2","Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","50","1","3","I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,"
"asv","50","1","4","always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,"
"asv","50","1","5","for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;"
"asv","50","1","6","being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:"
"asv","50","1","7","even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace."
"asv","50","1","8","For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus."
"asv","50","1","9","And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;"
"asv","50","1","10","so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;"
"asv","50","1","11","being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God."
"asv","50","1","12","Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things  which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;"
"asv","50","1","13","so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole prætorian guard, and to all the rest;"
"asv","50","1","14","and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear."
"asv","50","1","15","Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:"
"asv","50","1","16","the one  do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;"
"asv","50","1","17","but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds."
"asv","50","1","18","What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."
"asv","50","1","19","For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,"
"asv","50","1","20","according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but  that with all boldness, as always,  so  now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death."
"asv","50","1","21","For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
"asv","50","1","22","But if to live in the flesh,— if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not."
"asv","50","1","23","But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:"
"asv","50","1","24","yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake."
"asv","50","1","25","And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;"
"asv","50","1","26","that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again."
"asv","50","1","27","Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;"
"asv","50","1","28","and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;"
"asv","50","1","29","because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:"
"asv","50","1","30","having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me."
"asv","50","2","1","If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,"
"asv","50","2","2","make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;"
"asv","50","2","3"," doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;"
"asv","50","2","4","not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others."
"asv","50","2","5","Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"
"asv","50","2","6","who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,"
"asv","50","2","7","but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;"
"asv","50","2","8","and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient  even unto death, yea, the death of the cross."
"asv","50","2","9","Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;"
"asv","50","2","10","that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of  things  in heaven and  things on earth and  things under the earth,"
"asv","50","2","11","and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
"asv","50","2","12","So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;"
"asv","50","2","13","for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure."
"asv","50","2","14","Do all things without murmurings and questionings:"
"asv","50","2","15","that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,"
"asv","50","2","16","holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain."
"asv","50","2","17","Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:"
"asv","50","2","18","and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me."
"asv","50","2","19","But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state."
"asv","50","2","20","For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state."
"asv","50","2","21","For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ."
"asv","50","2","22","But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child  serveth a father,  so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel."
"asv","50","2","23","Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:"
"asv","50","2","24","but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly."
"asv","50","2","25","But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;"
"asv","50","2","26","since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:"
"asv","50","2","27","for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow."
"asv","50","2","28","I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful."
"asv","50","2","29","Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:"
"asv","50","2","30","because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me."
"asv","50","3","1","Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe."
"asv","50","3","2","Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the concision:"
"asv","50","3","3","for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:"
"asv","50","3","4","though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more:"
"asv","50","3","5","circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;"
"asv","50","3","6","as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless."
"asv","50","3","7","Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ."
"asv","50","3","8","Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,"
"asv","50","3","9","and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own,  even  that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:"
"asv","50","3","10","that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;"
"asv","50","3","11","if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead."
"asv","50","3","12","Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus."
"asv","50","3","13","Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,"
"asv","50","3","14","I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
"asv","50","3","15","Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:"
"asv","50","3","16","only, whereunto we have attained, by that same  rule let us walk."
"asv","50","3","17","Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample."
"asv","50","3","18","For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:"
"asv","50","3","19","whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and  whose  glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things."
"asv","50","3","20","For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"
"asv","50","3","21","who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation,  that it may be  conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself."
"asv","50","4","1","Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved."
"asv","50","4","2","I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord."
"asv","50","4","3","Yea, I beseech thee also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life."
"asv","50","4","4","Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice."
"asv","50","4","5","Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."
"asv","50","4","6","In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
"asv","50","4","7","And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
"asv","50","4","8","Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
"asv","50","4","9","The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you."
"asv","50","4","10","But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me; wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity."
"asv","50","4","11","Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content."
"asv","50","4","12","I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want."
"asv","50","4","13","I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me."
"asv","50","4","14","Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction."
"asv","50","4","15","And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only;"
"asv","50","4","16","for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need."
"asv","50","4","17","Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account."
"asv","50","4","18","But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things  that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God."
"asv","50","4","19","And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
"asv","50","4","20","Now unto our God and Father  be the glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","50","4","21","Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you."
"asv","50","4","22","All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Cæsar’s household."
"asv","50","4","23","The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit."
"asv","51","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,"
"asv","51","1","2","To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ  that are at Colossæ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father."
"asv","51","1","3","We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,"
"asv","51","1","4","having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints,"
"asv","51","1","5","because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,"
"asv","51","1","6","which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as  it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;"
"asv","51","1","7","even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,"
"asv","51","1","8","who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit."
"asv","51","1","9","For this cause we also, since the day we heard  it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,"
"asv","51","1","10","to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;"
"asv","51","1","11","strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;"
"asv","51","1","12","giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;"
"asv","51","1","13","who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;"
"asv","51","1","14","in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:"
"asv","51","1","15","who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;"
"asv","51","1","16","for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;"
"asv","51","1","17","and he is before all things, and in him all things consist."
"asv","51","1","18","And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
"asv","51","1","19","For it was the good pleasure  of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell;"
"asv","51","1","20","and through him to reconcile all things unto himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him,  I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens."
"asv","51","1","21","And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,"
"asv","51","1","22","yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him:"
"asv","51","1","23","if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister."
"asv","51","1","24","Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church;"
"asv","51","1","25","whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God,"
"asv","51","1","26"," even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints,"
"asv","51","1","27","to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
"asv","51","1","28","whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;"
"asv","51","1","29","whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily."
"asv","51","2","1","For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;"
"asv","51","2","2","that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God,  even Christ,"
"asv","51","2","3","in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden."
"asv","51","2","4","This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech."
"asv","51","2","5","For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ."
"asv","51","2","6","As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord,  so walk in him,"
"asv","51","2","7","rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
"asv","51","2","8","Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:"
"asv","51","2","9","for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,"
"asv","51","2","10","and in him ye are made full, who is the head of all principality and power:"
"asv","51","2","11","in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;"
"asv","51","2","12","having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead."
"asv","51","2","13","And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you,  I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses;"
"asv","51","2","14","having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;"
"asv","51","2","15","having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."
"asv","51","2","16","Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:"
"asv","51","2","17","which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ’s."
"asv","51","2","18","Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,"
"asv","51","2","19","and not holding fast the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God."
"asv","51","2","20","If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances,"
"asv","51","2","21","Handle not, nor taste, nor touch"
"asv","51","2","22","(all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men?"
"asv","51","2","23","Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body;  but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh."
"asv","51","3","1","If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God."
"asv","51","3","2","Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth."
"asv","51","3","3","For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
"asv","51","3","4","When Christ,  who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory."
"asv","51","3","5","Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;"
"asv","51","3","6","for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience:"
"asv","51","3","7","wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things;"
"asv","51","3","8","but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:"
"asv","51","3","9","lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,"
"asv","51","3","10","and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:"
"asv","51","3","11","where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all."
"asv","51","3","12","Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;"
"asv","51","3","13","forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:"
"asv","51","3","14","and above all these things  put on love, which is the bond of perfectness."
"asv","51","3","15","And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful."
"asv","51","3","16","Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms  and hymns  and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God."
"asv","51","3","17","And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed,  do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
"asv","51","3","18","Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord."
"asv","51","3","19","Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them."
"asv","51","3","20","Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord."
"asv","51","3","21","Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged."
"asv","51","3","22","Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:"
"asv","51","3","23","whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;"
"asv","51","3","24","knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ."
"asv","51","3","25","For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons."
"asv","51","4","1","Masters, render unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven."
"asv","51","4","2","Continue stedfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;"
"asv","51","4","3","withal praying for us also, that God may open unto us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;"
"asv","51","4","4","that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak."
"asv","51","4","5","Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time."
"asv","51","4","6","Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one."
"asv","51","4","7","All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:"
"asv","51","4","8","whom I have sent unto you for this very purpose, that ye may know our state, and that he may comfort your hearts;"
"asv","51","4","9","together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that  are done here."
"asv","51","4","10","Aristarchus my fellow-prisoner saluteth you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (touching whom ye received commandments; if he come unto you, receive him),"
"asv","51","4","11","and Jesus that is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are my fellow-workers unto the kingdom of God, men that have been a comfort unto me."
"asv","51","4","12","Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God."
"asv","51","4","13","For I bear him witness, that he hath much labor for you, and for them in Laodicea, and for them in Hierapolis."
"asv","51","4","14","Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas salute you."
"asv","51","4","15","Salute the brethren that are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church that is in their house."
"asv","51","4","16","And when this epistle hath been read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye also read the epistle from Laodicea."
"asv","51","4","17","And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it."
"asv","51","4","18","The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you."
"asv","52","1","1","Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace."
"asv","52","1","2","We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention  of you  in our prayers;"
"asv","52","1","3","remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;"
"asv","52","1","4","knowing, brethren beloved of God, your election,"
"asv","52","1","5","how that our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and  in much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we showed ourselves toward you for your sake."
"asv","52","1","6","And ye became imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit;"
"asv","52","1","7","so that ye became an ensample to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia."
"asv","52","1","8","For from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith to God-ward is gone forth; so that we need not to speak anything."
"asv","52","1","9","For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,"
"asv","52","1","10","and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivereth us from the wrath to come."
"asv","52","2","1","For yourselves, brethren, know our entering in unto you, that it hath not been found vain:"
"asv","52","2","2","but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as ye know, at Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God in much conflict."
"asv","52","2","3","For our exhortation  is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:"
"asv","52","2","4","but even as we have been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God who proveth our hearts."
"asv","52","2","5","For neither at any time were we found using words of flattery, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness, God is witness;"
"asv","52","2","6","nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ."
"asv","52","2","7","But we were gentle in the midst of you, as when a nurse cherisheth her own children:"
"asv","52","2","8","even so, being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very dear to us."
"asv","52","2","9","For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God."
"asv","52","2","10","Ye are witnesses, and God  also, how holily and righteously and unblameably we behaved ourselves toward you that believe:"
"asv","52","2","11","as ye know how we  dealt with each one of you, as a father with his own children, exhorting you, and encouraging  you, and testifying,"
"asv","52","2","12","to the end that ye should walk worthily of God, who calleth you into his own kingdom and glory."
"asv","52","2","13","And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message,  even the word of God, ye accepted  it not  as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe."
"asv","52","2","14","For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judæa in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews;"
"asv","52","2","15","who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;"
"asv","52","2","16","forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost."
"asv","52","2","17","But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:"
"asv","52","2","18","because we would fain have come unto you, I Paul once and again; and Satan hindered us."
"asv","52","2","19","For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?"
"asv","52","2","20","For ye are our glory and our joy."
"asv","52","3","1","Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left behind at Athens alone;"
"asv","52","3","2","and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s minister in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort  you concerning your faith;"
"asv","52","3","3","that no man be moved by these afflictions; for yourselves know that hereunto we are appointed."
"asv","52","3","4","For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction; even as it came to pass, and ye know."
"asv","52","3","5","For this cause I also, when I could no longer forbear, sent that I might know your faith, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor should be in vain."
"asv","52","3","6","But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also  to see you;"
"asv","52","3","7","for this cause, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our distress and affliction through your faith:"
"asv","52","3","8","for now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord."
"asv","52","3","9","For what thanksgiving can we render again unto God for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;"
"asv","52","3","10","night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?"
"asv","52","3","11","Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way unto you:"
"asv","52","3","12","and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we also  do toward you;"
"asv","52","3","13","to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints."
"asv","52","4","1","Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk,—that ye abound more and more."
"asv","52","4","2","For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus."
"asv","52","4","3","For this is the will of God,  even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;"
"asv","52","4","4","that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,"
"asv","52","4","5","not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;"
"asv","52","4","6","that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified."
"asv","52","4","7","For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification."
"asv","52","4","8","Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you."
"asv","52","4","9","But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;"
"asv","52","4","10","for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more;"
"asv","52","4","11","and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you;"
"asv","52","4","12","that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing."
"asv","52","4","13","But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope."
"asv","52","4","14","For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him."
"asv","52","4","15","For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep."
"asv","52","4","16","For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;"
"asv","52","4","17","then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
"asv","52","4","18","Wherefore comfort one another with these words."
"asv","52","5","1","But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you."
"asv","52","5","2","For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night."
"asv","52","5","3","When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape."
"asv","52","5","4","But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:"
"asv","52","5","5","for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;"
"asv","52","5","6","so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober."
"asv","52","5","7","For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night."
"asv","52","5","8","But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation."
"asv","52","5","9","For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,"
"asv","52","5","10","who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."
"asv","52","5","11","Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do."
"asv","52","5","12","But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;"
"asv","52","5","13","and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves."
"asv","52","5","14","And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all."
"asv","52","5","15","See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all."
"asv","52","5","16","Rejoice always;"
"asv","52","5","17","pray without ceasing;"
"asv","52","5","18","in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward."
"asv","52","5","19","Quench not the Spirit;"
"asv","52","5","20","despise not prophesyings;"
"asv","52","5","21","prove all things; hold fast that which is good;"
"asv","52","5","22","abstain from every form of evil."
"asv","52","5","23","And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","52","5","24","Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it."
"asv","52","5","25","Brethren, pray for us."
"asv","52","5","26","Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss."
"asv","52","5","27","I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren."
"asv","52","5","28","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."
"asv","53","1","1","Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ;"
"asv","53","1","2","Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","53","1","3","We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;"
"asv","53","1","4","so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure;"
"asv","53","1","5"," which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:"
"asv","53","1","6","if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,"
"asv","53","1","7","and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,"
"asv","53","1","8","rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus:"
"asv","53","1","9","who shall suffer punishment,  even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,"
"asv","53","1","10","when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day."
"asv","53","1","11","To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and  every  work of faith, with power;"
"asv","53","1","12","that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","53","2","1","Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;"
"asv","53","2","2","to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;"
"asv","53","2","3","let no man beguile you in any wise: for  it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,"
"asv","53","2","4","he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God."
"asv","53","2","5","Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?"
"asv","53","2","6","And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season."
"asv","53","2","7","For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only  there is  one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way."
"asv","53","2","8","And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;"
"asv","53","2","9"," even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
"asv","53","2","10","and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
"asv","53","2","11","And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:"
"asv","53","2","12","that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
"asv","53","2","13","But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:"
"asv","53","2","14","whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","53","2","15","So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours."
"asv","53","2","16","Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,"
"asv","53","2","17","comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word."
"asv","53","3","1","Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also  it is with you;"
"asv","53","3","2","and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith."
"asv","53","3","3","But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil  one."
"asv","53","3","4","And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command."
"asv","53","3","5","And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ."
"asv","53","3","6","Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us."
"asv","53","3","7","For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;"
"asv","53","3","8","neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:"
"asv","53","3","9","not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us."
"asv","53","3","10","For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat."
"asv","53","3","11","For we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busybodies."
"asv","53","3","12","Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread."
"asv","53","3","13","But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing."
"asv","53","3","14","And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, that ye have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed."
"asv","53","3","15","And  yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother."
"asv","53","3","16","Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all."
"asv","53","3","17","The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write."
"asv","53","3","18","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all."
"asv","54","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;"
"asv","54","1","2","unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."
"asv","54","1","3","As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,"
"asv","54","1","4","neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith;  so do I now."
"asv","54","1","5","But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:"
"asv","54","1","6","from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;"
"asv","54","1","7","desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm."
"asv","54","1","8","But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,"
"asv","54","1","9","as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,"
"asv","54","1","10","for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;"
"asv","54","1","11","according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust."
"asv","54","1","12","I thank him that enabled me,  even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to  his service;"
"asv","54","1","13","though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;"
"asv","54","1","14","and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."
"asv","54","1","15","Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:"
"asv","54","1","16","howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life."
"asv","54","1","17","Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","54","1","18","This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;"
"asv","54","1","19","holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:"
"asv","54","1","20","of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme."
"asv","54","2","1","I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men;"
"asv","54","2","2","for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity."
"asv","54","2","3","This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;"
"asv","54","2","4","who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth."
"asv","54","2","5","For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men,  himself  man, Christ Jesus,"
"asv","54","2","6","who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony  to be borne  in its own times;"
"asv","54","2","7","whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth."
"asv","54","2","8","I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing."
"asv","54","2","9","In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment;"
"asv","54","2","10","but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works."
"asv","54","2","11","Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection."
"asv","54","2","12","But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness."
"asv","54","2","13","For Adam was first formed, then Eve;"
"asv","54","2","14","and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:"
"asv","54","2","15","but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety."
"asv","54","3","1","Faithful is the saying, If a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work."
"asv","54","3","2","The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach;"
"asv","54","3","3","no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money;"
"asv","54","3","4","one that ruleth well his own house, having  his children in subjection with all gravity;"
"asv","54","3","5","(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"
"asv","54","3","6","not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil."
"asv","54","3","7","Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."
"asv","54","3","8","Deacons in like manner  must be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;"
"asv","54","3","9","holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience."
"asv","54","3","10","And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless."
"asv","54","3","11","Women in like manner  must be grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things."
"asv","54","3","12","Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling  their children and their own houses well."
"asv","54","3","13","For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus."
"asv","54","3","14","These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly;"
"asv","54","3","15","but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
"asv","54","3","16","And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness;He who was manifested in the flesh,Justified in the spirit,Seen of angels,Preached among the nations,Believed on in the world,Received up in glory."
"asv","54","4","1","But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,"
"asv","54","4","2","through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;"
"asv","54","4","3","forbidding to marry,  and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth."
"asv","54","4","4","For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving:"
"asv","54","4","5","for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer."
"asv","54","4","6","If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed  until now:"
"asv","54","4","7","but refuse profane and old wives’ fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness:"
"asv","54","4","8","for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come."
"asv","54","4","9","Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation."
"asv","54","4","10","For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe."
"asv","54","4","11","These things command and teach."
"asv","54","4","12","Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity."
"asv","54","4","13","Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching."
"asv","54","4","14","Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery."
"asv","54","4","15","Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all."
"asv","54","4","16","Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee."
"asv","54","5","1","Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren:"
"asv","54","5","2","the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity."
"asv","54","5","3","Honor widows that are widows indeed."
"asv","54","5","4","But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God."
"asv","54","5","5","Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day."
"asv","54","5","6","But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth."
"asv","54","5","7","These things also command, that they may be without reproach."
"asv","54","5","8","But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever."
"asv","54","5","9","Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old,  having been the wife of one man,"
"asv","54","5","10","well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints’ feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work."
"asv","54","5","11","But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;"
"asv","54","5","12","having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge."
"asv","54","5","13","And withal they learn also  to be idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not."
"asv","54","5","14","I desire therefore that the younger  widows marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling:"
"asv","54","5","15","for already some are turned aside after Satan."
"asv","54","5","16","If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed."
"asv","54","5","17","Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching."
"asv","54","5","18","For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire."
"asv","54","5","19","Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at  the mouth of  two or three witnesses."
"asv","54","5","20","Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear."
"asv","54","5","21","I charge  thee in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality."
"asv","54","5","22","Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure."
"asv","54","5","23","Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities."
"asv","54","5","24","Some men’s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after."
"asv","54","5","25","In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid."
"asv","54","6","1","Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed."
"asv","54","6","2","And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort."
"asv","54","6","3","If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words,  even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;"
"asv","54","6","4","he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,"
"asv","54","6","5","wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain."
"asv","54","6","6","But godliness with contentment is great gain:"
"asv","54","6","7","for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;"
"asv","54","6","8","but having food and covering we shall be therewith content."
"asv","54","6","9","But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition."
"asv","54","6","10","For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
"asv","54","6","11","But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."
"asv","54","6","12","Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses."
"asv","54","6","13","I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;"
"asv","54","6","14","that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:"
"asv","54","6","15","which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;"
"asv","54","6","16","who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom  be honor and power eternal. Amen."
"asv","54","6","17","Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;"
"asv","54","6","18","that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;"
"asv","54","6","19","laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is  life indeed."
"asv","54","6","20","O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto  thee, turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;"
"asv","54","6","21","which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you."
"asv","55","1","1","Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,"
"asv","55","1","2","to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord."
"asv","55","1","3","I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day"
"asv","55","1","4","longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;"
"asv","55","1","5","having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also."
"asv","55","1","6","For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands."
"asv","55","1","7","For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline."
"asv","55","1","8","Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;"
"asv","55","1","9","who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,"
"asv","55","1","10","but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,"
"asv","55","1","11","whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher."
"asv","55","1","12","For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day."
"asv","55","1","13","Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus."
"asv","55","1","14","That good thing which was committed unto  thee guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us."
"asv","55","1","15","This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes."
"asv","55","1","16","The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;"
"asv","55","1","17","but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me"
"asv","55","1","18","(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well."
"asv","55","2","1","Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus."
"asv","55","2","2","And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
"asv","55","2","3","Suffer hardship with  me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus."
"asv","55","2","4","No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of  this  life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier."
"asv","55","2","5","And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully."
"asv","55","2","6","The husbandman that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits."
"asv","55","2","7","Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things."
"asv","55","2","8","Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:"
"asv","55","2","9","wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound."
"asv","55","2","10","Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory."
"asv","55","2","11","Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:"
"asv","55","2","12","if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:"
"asv","55","2","13","if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself."
"asv","55","2","14","Of these things put them in remembrance, charging  them in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear."
"asv","55","2","15","Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth."
"asv","55","2","16","But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,"
"asv","55","2","17","and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus;"
"asv","55","2","18","men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some."
"asv","55","2","19","Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."
"asv","55","2","20","Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor."
"asv","55","2","21","If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work."
"asv","55","2","22","But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."
"asv","55","2","23","But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes."
"asv","55","2","24","And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,"
"asv","55","2","25","in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,"
"asv","55","2","26","and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will."
"asv","55","3","1","But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come."
"asv","55","3","2","For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,"
"asv","55","3","3","without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,"
"asv","55","3","4","traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;"
"asv","55","3","5","holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away."
"asv","55","3","6","For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,"
"asv","55","3","7","ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
"asv","55","3","8","And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith."
"asv","55","3","9","But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be."
"asv","55","3","10","But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,"
"asv","55","3","11","persecutions, sufferings; what things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: and out of them all the Lord delivered me."
"asv","55","3","12","Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
"asv","55","3","13","But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
"asv","55","3","14","But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"
"asv","55","3","15","and that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
"asv","55","3","16","Every scripture inspired of God  is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness:"
"asv","55","3","17","that the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work."
"asv","55","4","1","I charge  thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:"
"asv","55","4","2","preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching."
"asv","55","4","3","For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;"
"asv","55","4","4","and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables."
"asv","55","4","5","But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry."
"asv","55","4","6","For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come."
"asv","55","4","7","I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:"
"asv","55","4","8","henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing."
"asv","55","4","9","Give diligence to come shortly unto me:"
"asv","55","4","10","for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia."
"asv","55","4","11","Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering."
"asv","55","4","12","But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus."
"asv","55","4","13","The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments."
"asv","55","4","14","Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:"
"asv","55","4","15","of whom do thou also beware; for he greatly withstood our words."
"asv","55","4","16","At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account."
"asv","55","4","17","But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion."
"asv","55","4","18","The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom  be the glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","55","4","19","Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus."
"asv","55","4","20","Erastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick."
"asv","55","4","21","Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren."
"asv","55","4","22","The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you."
"asv","56","1","1","Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,"
"asv","56","1","2","in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal;"
"asv","56","1","3","but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;"
"asv","56","1","4","to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour."
"asv","56","1","5","For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge;"
"asv","56","1","6","if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly."
"asv","56","1","7","For the bishop must be blameless, as God’s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;"
"asv","56","1","8","but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;"
"asv","56","1","9","holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers."
"asv","56","1","10","For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision,"
"asv","56","1","11","whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake."
"asv","56","1","12","One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons."
"asv","56","1","13","This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,"
"asv","56","1","14","not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth."
"asv","56","1","15","To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled."
"asv","56","1","16","They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate."
"asv","56","2","1","But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:"
"asv","56","2","2","that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience:"
"asv","56","2","3","that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good;"
"asv","56","2","4","that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,"
"asv","56","2","5"," to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed:"
"asv","56","2","6","the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded:"
"asv","56","2","7","in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity,"
"asv","56","2","8","sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us."
"asv","56","2","9"," Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters, and to be well-pleasing  to them in all things; not gainsaying;"
"asv","56","2","10","not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things."
"asv","56","2","11","For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,"
"asv","56","2","12","instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world;"
"asv","56","2","13","looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"
"asv","56","2","14","who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works."
"asv","56","2","15","These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee."
"asv","56","3","1","Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,"
"asv","56","3","2","to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men."
"asv","56","3","3","For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another."
"asv","56","3","4","But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,"
"asv","56","3","5","not by works  done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,"
"asv","56","3","6","which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"
"asv","56","3","7","that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
"asv","56","3","8","Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:"
"asv","56","3","9","but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain."
"asv","56","3","10","A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;"
"asv","56","3","11","knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned."
"asv","56","3","12","When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter."
"asv","56","3","13","Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them."
"asv","56","3","14","And let our  people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful."
"asv","56","3","15","All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all."
"asv","57","1","1","Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,"
"asv","57","1","2","and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:"
"asv","57","1","3","Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","57","1","4","I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,"
"asv","57","1","5","hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;"
"asv","57","1","6","that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ."
"asv","57","1","7","For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother."
"asv","57","1","8","Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,"
"asv","57","1","9","yet for love’s sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus:"
"asv","57","1","10","I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,"
"asv","57","1","11","who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:"
"asv","57","1","12","whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:"
"asv","57","1","13","whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:"
"asv","57","1","14","but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will."
"asv","57","1","15","For perhaps he was therefore parted  from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;"
"asv","57","1","16","no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord."
"asv","57","1","17","If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself."
"asv","57","1","18","But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth  thee aught, put that to mine account;"
"asv","57","1","19","I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides."
"asv","57","1","20","Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ."
"asv","57","1","21","Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say."
"asv","57","1","22","But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you."
"asv","57","1","23","Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;"
"asv","57","1","24"," and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers."
"asv","57","1","25","The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen."
"asv","58","1","1","God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,"
"asv","58","1","2","hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in  his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;"
"asv","58","1","3","who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"
"asv","58","1","4","having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they."
"asv","58","1","5","For unto which of the angels said he at any time,Thou art my Son,This day have I begotten thee?I will be to him a Father,And he shall be to me a Son?"
"asv","58","1","6","And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."
"asv","58","1","7","And of the angels he saith,Who maketh his angels winds,And his ministers a flame of fire:"
"asv","58","1","8","but of the Son  he saith,Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever;And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."
"asv","58","1","9","Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed theeWith the oil of gladness above thy fellows."
"asv","58","1","10","And,Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth,And the heavens are the works of thy hands:"
"asv","58","1","11","They shall perish; but thou continuest:And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;"
"asv","58","1","12","And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up,As a garment, and they shall be changed:But thou art the same,And thy years shall not fail."
"asv","58","1","13","But of which of the angels hath he said at any time,Sit thou on my right hand,Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?"
"asv","58","1","14","Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?"
"asv","58","2","1","Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away  from them."
"asv","58","2","2","For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;"
"asv","58","2","3","how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;"
"asv","58","2","4","God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will."
"asv","58","2","5","For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak."
"asv","58","2","6","But one hath somewhere testified, saying,What is man, that thou art mindful of him?Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
"asv","58","2","7","Thou madest him a little lower than the angels;Thou crownedst him with glory and honor,And didst set him over the works of thy hands:"
"asv","58","2","8","Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet."
"asv","58","2","9","But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every  man."
"asv","58","2","10","For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings."
"asv","58","2","11","For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,"
"asv","58","2","12","saying,I will declare thy name unto my brethren,In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise."
"asv","58","2","13","And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me."
"asv","58","2","14","Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"
"asv","58","2","15","and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."
"asv","58","2","16","For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham."
"asv","58","2","17","Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people."
"asv","58","2","18","For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted."
"asv","58","3","1","Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession,  even Jesus;"
"asv","58","3","2","who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house."
"asv","58","3","3","For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house."
"asv","58","3","4","For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God."
"asv","58","3","5","And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;"
"asv","58","3","6","but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end."
"asv","58","3","7","Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith,To-day if ye shall hear his voice,"
"asv","58","3","8","Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,"
"asv","58","3","9","Where your fathers tried  me by proving  me,And saw my works forty years."
"asv","58","3","10","Wherefore I was displeased with this generation,And said, They do always err in their heart:But they did not know my ways;"
"asv","58","3","11","As I sware in my wrath,They shall not enter into my rest."
"asv","58","3","12","Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:"
"asv","58","3","13","but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:"
"asv","58","3","14","for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:"
"asv","58","3","15","while it is said,To-day if ye shall hear his voice,Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation."
"asv","58","3","16","For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?"
"asv","58","3","17","And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?"
"asv","58","3","18","And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?"
"asv","58","3","19","And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief."
"asv","58","4","1","Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it."
"asv","58","4","2","For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard."
"asv","58","4","3","For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said,As I sware in my wrath,They shall not enter into my rest:"
"asv","58","4","4","For he hath said somewhere of the seventh  day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"
"asv","58","4","5","and in this  place again,They shall not enter into my rest."
"asv","58","4","6","Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,"
"asv","58","4","7","he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before),To-day if ye shall hear his voice,Harden not your hearts."
"asv","58","4","8","For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day."
"asv","58","4","9","There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God."
"asv","58","4","10","For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his."
"asv","58","4","11","Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience."
"asv","58","4","12","For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart."
"asv","58","4","13","And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
"asv","58","4","14","Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession."
"asv","58","4","15","For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
"asv","58","4","16","Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help  us in time of need."
"asv","58","5","1","For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:"
"asv","58","5","2","who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;"
"asv","58","5","3","and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins."
"asv","58","5","4","And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron."
"asv","58","5","5","So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him,Thou art my Son,This day have I begotten thee:"
"asv","58","5","6","as he saith also in another  place,Thou art a priest for everAfter the order of Melchizedek."
"asv","58","5","7","Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,"
"asv","58","5","8","though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;"
"asv","58","5","9","and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;"
"asv","58","5","10","named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek."
"asv","58","5","11","Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing."
"asv","58","5","12","For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food."
"asv","58","5","13","For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe."
"asv","58","5","14","But solid food is for fullgrown men,  even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil."
"asv","58","6","1","Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,"
"asv","58","6","2","of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
"asv","58","6","3","And this will we do, if God permit."
"asv","58","6","4","For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,"
"asv","58","6","5","and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,"
"asv","58","6","6","and  then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
"asv","58","6","7","For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:"
"asv","58","6","8","but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned."
"asv","58","6","9","But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:"
"asv","58","6","10","for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister."
"asv","58","6","11","And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:"
"asv","58","6","12","that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
"asv","58","6","13","For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,"
"asv","58","6","14","saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee."
"asv","58","6","15","And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise."
"asv","58","6","16","For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation."
"asv","58","6","17","Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;"
"asv","58","6","18","that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:"
"asv","58","6","19","which we have as an anchor of the soul,  a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;"
"asv","58","6","20","whither as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek."
"asv","58","7","1","For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,"
"asv","58","7","2","to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;"
"asv","58","7","3","without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually."
"asv","58","7","4","Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils."
"asv","58","7","5","And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest’s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:"
"asv","58","7","6","but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises."
"asv","58","7","7","But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better."
"asv","58","7","8","And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth."
"asv","58","7","9","And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;"
"asv","58","7","10","for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him."
"asv","58","7","11","Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need  was there  that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?"
"asv","58","7","12","For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law."
"asv","58","7","13","For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar."
"asv","58","7","14","For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests."
"asv","58","7","15","And  what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,"
"asv","58","7","16","who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:"
"asv","58","7","17","for it is witnessed  of him,Thou art a priest for everAfter the order of Melchizedek."
"asv","58","7","18","For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness"
"asv","58","7","19","(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God."
"asv","58","7","20","And inasmuch as  it is not without the taking of an oath"
"asv","58","7","21","(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him,The Lord sware and will not repent himself,Thou art a priest for ever);"
"asv","58","7","22","by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant."
"asv","58","7","23","And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:"
"asv","58","7","24","but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable."
"asv","58","7","25","Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
"asv","58","7","26","For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"
"asv","58","7","27","who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the  sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself."
"asv","58","7","28","For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law,  appointeth a Son, perfected for evermore."
"asv","58","8","1","Now in the things which we are saying the chief point  is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,"
"asv","58","8","2","a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man."
"asv","58","8","3","For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this  high priest also have somewhat to offer."
"asv","58","8","4","Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;"
"asv","58","8","5","who serve  that which is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned  of God when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount."
"asv","58","8","6","But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises."
"asv","58","8","7","For if that first  covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second."
"asv","58","8","8","For finding fault with them, he saith,Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;"
"asv","58","8","9","Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathersIn the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt;For they continued not in my covenant,And I regarded them not, saith the Lord."
"asv","58","8","10","For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of IsraelAfter those days, saith the Lord;I will put my laws into their mind,And on their heart also will I write them:And I will be to them a God,And they shall be to me a people:"
"asv","58","8","11","And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen,And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:For all shall know me,From the least to the greatest of them."
"asv","58","8","12","For I will be merciful to their iniquities,And their sins will I remember no more."
"asv","58","8","13","In that he saith, A new  covenant, he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away."
"asv","58","9","1","Now even the first  covenant had ordinances of divine service, and its sanctuary,  a sanctuary of this world."
"asv","58","9","2","For there was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein  were  the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy place."
"asv","58","9","3","And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies;"
"asv","58","9","4","having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein  was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;"
"asv","58","9","5","and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now speak severally."
"asv","58","9","6","Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services;"
"asv","58","9","7","but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people:"
"asv","58","9","8","the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing;"
"asv","58","9","9","which  is a figure for the time present; according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the conscience, make the worshipper perfect,"
"asv","58","9","10"," being only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation."
"asv","58","9","11","But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,"
"asv","58","9","12","nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption."
"asv","58","9","13","For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the flesh:"
"asv","58","9","14","how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
"asv","58","9","15","And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance."
"asv","58","9","16","For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it."
"asv","58","9","17","For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth."
"asv","58","9","18","Wherefore even the first  covenant hath not been dedicated without blood."
"asv","58","9","19","For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses unto all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,"
"asv","58","9","20","saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded to you-ward."
"asv","58","9","21","Moreover the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry he sprinkled in like manner with the blood."
"asv","58","9","22","And according to the law, I may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission."
"asv","58","9","23","It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
"asv","58","9","24","For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, like in pattern to the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:"
"asv","58","9","25","nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place year by year with blood not his own;"
"asv","58","9","26","else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
"asv","58","9","27","And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;"
"asv","58","9","28","so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation."
"asv","58","10","1","For the law having a shadow of the good  things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh."
"asv","58","10","2","Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins."
"asv","58","10","3","But in those  sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year."
"asv","58","10","4","For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins."
"asv","58","10","5","Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not,But a body didst thou prepare for me;"
"asv","58","10","6","In whole burnt offerings and  sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:"
"asv","58","10","7","Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me)To do thy will, O God."
"asv","58","10","8","Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),"
"asv","58","10","9","then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second."
"asv","58","10","10","By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
"asv","58","10","11","And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins:"
"asv","58","10","12","but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"
"asv","58","10","13","henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet."
"asv","58","10","14","For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."
"asv","58","10","15","And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said,"
"asv","58","10","16","This is the covenant that I will make with themAfter those days, saith the Lord:I will put my laws on their heart,And upon their mind also will I write them; then saith he,"
"asv","58","10","17","And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more."
"asv","58","10","18","Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin."
"asv","58","10","19","Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,"
"asv","58","10","20","by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;"
"asv","58","10","21","and  having a great priest over the house of God;"
"asv","58","10","22","let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water,"
"asv","58","10","23","let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:"
"asv","58","10","24","and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;"
"asv","58","10","25","not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting  one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh."
"asv","58","10","26","For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,"
"asv","58","10","27","but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries."
"asv","58","10","28","A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses:"
"asv","58","10","29","of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
"asv","58","10","30","For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people."
"asv","58","10","31","It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
"asv","58","10","32","But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings;"
"asv","58","10","33","partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used."
"asv","58","10","34","For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one."
"asv","58","10","35","Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward."
"asv","58","10","36","For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise."
"asv","58","10","37","For yet a very little while,He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry."
"asv","58","10","38","But my righteous one shall live by faith:And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him."
"asv","58","10","39","But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul."
"asv","58","11","1","Now faith is assurance of  things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen."
"asv","58","11","2","For therein the elders had witness borne to them."
"asv","58","11","3","By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear."
"asv","58","11","4","By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh."
"asv","58","11","5","By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God:"
"asv","58","11","6","And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing  unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and  that  he is a rewarder of them that seek after him."
"asv","58","11","7","By faith Noah, being warned  of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith."
"asv","58","11","8","By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went."
"asv","58","11","9","By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:"
"asv","58","11","10","for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God."
"asv","58","11","11","By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised:"
"asv","58","11","12","wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead,  so many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable."
"asv","58","11","13","These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
"asv","58","11","14","For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own."
"asv","58","11","15","And if indeed they had been mindful of that  country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return."
"asv","58","11","16","But now they desire a better  country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city."
"asv","58","11","17","By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten  son;"
"asv","58","11","18"," even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:"
"asv","58","11","19","accounting that God  is able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back."
"asv","58","11","20","By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come."
"asv","58","11","21","By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped,  leaning upon the top of his staff."
"asv","58","11","22","By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones."
"asv","58","11","23","By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment."
"asv","58","11","24","By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;"
"asv","58","11","25","choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;"
"asv","58","11","26","accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward."
"asv","58","11","27","By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible."
"asv","58","11","28","By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them."
"asv","58","11","29","By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up."
"asv","58","11","30","By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days."
"asv","58","11","31","By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace."
"asv","58","11","32","And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets:"
"asv","58","11","33","who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,"
"asv","58","11","34","quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens."
"asv","58","11","35","Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:"
"asv","58","11","36","and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:"
"asv","58","11","37","they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated"
"asv","58","11","38","(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth."
"asv","58","11","39","And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,"
"asv","58","11","40","God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect."
"asv","58","12","1","Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"
"asv","58","12","2","looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of  our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
"asv","58","12","3","For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls."
"asv","58","12","4","Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:"
"asv","58","12","5","and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons,My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord,Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;"
"asv","58","12","6","For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."
"asv","58","12","7","It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom  his father chasteneth not?"
"asv","58","12","8","But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons."
"asv","58","12","9","Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"
"asv","58","12","10","For they indeed for a few days chastened  us as seemed good to them; but he for  our profit, that  we may be partakers of his holiness."
"asv","58","12","11","All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby,  even the fruit of righteousness."
"asv","58","12","12","Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;"
"asv","58","12","13","and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed."
"asv","58","12","14","Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:"
"asv","58","12","15","looking carefully lest  there be any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble  you, and thereby the many be defiled;"
"asv","58","12","16","lest  there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright."
"asv","58","12","17","For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind  in his father, though he sought it diligently with tears."
"asv","58","12","18","For ye are not come unto  a mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,"
"asv","58","12","19","and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which  voice  they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them;"
"asv","58","12","20","for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;"
"asv","58","12","21","and so fearful was the appearance,  that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:"
"asv","58","12","22","but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,"
"asv","58","12","23","to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"
"asv","58","12","24","and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than  that of Abel."
"asv","58","12","25","See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned  them on earth, much more  shall not we  escape who turn away from him that  warneth  from heaven:"
"asv","58","12","26","whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven."
"asv","58","12","27","And this  word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain."
"asv","58","12","28","Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:"
"asv","58","12","29","for our God is a consuming fire."
"asv","58","13","1","Let love of the brethren continue."
"asv","58","13","2","Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
"asv","58","13","3","Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body."
"asv","58","13","4"," Let marriage  be had in honor among all, and let the bed  be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
"asv","58","13","5","Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee."
"asv","58","13","6","So that with good courage we say,The Lord is my helper; I will not fear:What shall man do unto me?"
"asv","58","13","7","Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith."
"asv","58","13","8","Jesus Christ  is the same yesterday and to-day,  yea  and for ever."
"asv","58","13","9","Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited."
"asv","58","13","10","We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle."
"asv","58","13","11","For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest  as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp."
"asv","58","13","12","Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate."
"asv","58","13","13","Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach."
"asv","58","13","14","For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after  the city  which is to come."
"asv","58","13","15","Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name."
"asv","58","13","16","But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased."
"asv","58","13","17","Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit  to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you."
"asv","58","13","18","Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things."
"asv","58","13","19","And I exhort  you the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner."
"asv","58","13","20","Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant,  even our Lord Jesus,"
"asv","58","13","21","make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom  be  the glory for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","58","13","22","But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words."
"asv","58","13","23","Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you."
"asv","58","13","24","Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you."
"asv","58","13","25","Grace be with you all. Amen."
"asv","59","1","1","James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting."
"asv","59","1","2","Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;"
"asv","59","1","3","knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience."
"asv","59","1","4","And let patience have  its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing."
"asv","59","1","5","But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
"asv","59","1","6","But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed."
"asv","59","1","7","For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;"
"asv","59","1","8","a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways."
"asv","59","1","9","But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:"
"asv","59","1","10","and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away."
"asv","59","1","11","For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings."
"asv","59","1","12","Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which  the Lord promised to them that love him."
"asv","59","1","13","Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:"
"asv","59","1","14","but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed."
"asv","59","1","15","Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death."
"asv","59","1","16","Be not deceived, my beloved brethren."
"asv","59","1","17","Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning."
"asv","59","1","18","Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."
"asv","59","1","19","Ye know  this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:"
"asv","59","1","20","for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
"asv","59","1","21","Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls."
"asv","59","1","22","But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves."
"asv","59","1","23","For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:"
"asv","59","1","24","for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."
"asv","59","1","25","But he that looketh into the perfect law, the  law of liberty, and  so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing."
"asv","59","1","26","If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain."
"asv","59","1","27","Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,  and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."
"asv","59","2","1","My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,  the Lord  of glory, with respect of persons."
"asv","59","2","2","For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;"
"asv","59","2","3","and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;"
"asv","59","2","4","do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?"
"asv","59","2","5","Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world  to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?"
"asv","59","2","6","But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?"
"asv","59","2","7","Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?"
"asv","59","2","8","Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:"
"asv","59","2","9","but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors."
"asv","59","2","10","For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all."
"asv","59","2","11","For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law."
"asv","59","2","12","So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty."
"asv","59","2","13","For judgment  is without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment."
"asv","59","2","14","What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?"
"asv","59","2","15","If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,"
"asv","59","2","16","and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?"
"asv","59","2","17","Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself."
"asv","59","2","18","Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from  thy works, and I by my works will show thee my faith."
"asv","59","2","19","Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder."
"asv","59","2","20","But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?"
"asv","59","2","21","Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?"
"asv","59","2","22","Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;"
"asv","59","2","23","and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God."
"asv","59","2","24","Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith."
"asv","59","2","25","And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?"
"asv","59","2","26","For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead."
"asv","59","3","1","Be not many  of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment."
"asv","59","3","2","For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also."
"asv","59","3","3","Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also."
"asv","59","3","4","Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth."
"asv","59","3","5","So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!"
"asv","59","3","6","And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell."
"asv","59","3","7","For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:"
"asv","59","3","8","but the tongue can no man tame;  it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison."
"asv","59","3","9","Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:"
"asv","59","3","10","out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be."
"asv","59","3","11","Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet  water  and bitter?"
"asv","59","3","12","Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet."
"asv","59","3","13","Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom."
"asv","59","3","14","But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth."
"asv","59","3","15","This wisdom is not  a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish."
"asv","59","3","16","For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed."
"asv","59","3","17","But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy."
"asv","59","3","18","And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace."
"asv","59","4","1","Whence  come wars and whence  come fightings among you? come they not hence,  even of your pleasures that war in your members?"
"asv","59","4","2","Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not."
"asv","59","4","3","Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures."
"asv","59","4","4","Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God."
"asv","59","4","5","Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit which he made to dwell in us long unto envying?"
"asv","59","4","6","But he giveth more grace. Wherefore  the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."
"asv","59","4","7","Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
"asv","59","4","8","Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded."
"asv","59","4","9","Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness."
"asv","59","4","10","Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you."
"asv","59","4","11","Speak not one against another, brethren. He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge."
"asv","59","4","12","One  only is the lawgiver and judge,  even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?"
"asv","59","4","13","Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:"
"asv","59","4","14","whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
"asv","59","4","15","For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that."
"asv","59","4","16","But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil."
"asv","59","4","17","To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
"asv","59","5","1","Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you."
"asv","59","5","2","Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten."
"asv","59","5","3","Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days."
"asv","59","5","4","Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth."
"asv","59","5","5","Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter."
"asv","59","5","6","Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous  one; he doth not resist you."
"asv","59","5","7","Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain."
"asv","59","5","8","Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand."
"asv","59","5","9","Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors."
"asv","59","5","10","Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord."
"asv","59","5","11","Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful."
"asv","59","5","12","But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment."
"asv","59","5","13","Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise."
"asv","59","5","14","Is any among you sick? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:"
"asv","59","5","15","and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him."
"asv","59","5","16","Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working."
"asv","59","5","17","Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months."
"asv","59","5","18","And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."
"asv","59","5","19","My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him;"
"asv","59","5","20","let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins."
"asv","60","1","1","Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,"
"asv","60","1","2","according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied."
"asv","60","1","3","Blessed  be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,"
"asv","60","1","4","unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,"
"asv","60","1","5","who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
"asv","60","1","6","Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials,"
"asv","60","1","7","that the proof of your faith,  being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:"
"asv","60","1","8","whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:"
"asv","60","1","9","receiving the end of your faith,  even the salvation of your souls."
"asv","60","1","10","Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that  should come unto you:"
"asv","60","1","11","searching what  time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them."
"asv","60","1","12","To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angels desire to look into."
"asv","60","1","13","Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"
"asv","60","1","14","as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in  the time of your ignorance:"
"asv","60","1","15","but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;"
"asv","60","1","16","because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy."
"asv","60","1","17","And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear:"
"asv","60","1","18","knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers;"
"asv","60","1","19","but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,  even the blood  of Christ:"
"asv","60","1","20","who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of the times for your sake,"
"asv","60","1","21","who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God."
"asv","60","1","22","Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently:"
"asv","60","1","23","having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth."
"asv","60","1","24","For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:"
"asv","60","1","25","But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you."
"asv","60","2","1","Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,"
"asv","60","2","2","as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;"
"asv","60","2","3","if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:"
"asv","60","2","4","unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,"
"asv","60","2","5","ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."
"asv","60","2","6","Because it is contained in scripture,Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious:And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame."
"asv","60","2","7","For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve,The stone which the builders rejected,The same was made the head of the corner;"
"asv","60","2","8","and,A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence;"
"asv","60","2","9","But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
"asv","60","2","10","who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."
"asv","60","2","11","Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;"
"asv","60","2","12","having your behavior seemly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visitation."
"asv","60","2","13","Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;"
"asv","60","2","14","or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well."
"asv","60","2","15","For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:"
"asv","60","2","16","as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God."
"asv","60","2","17","Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king."
"asv","60","2","18","Servants,  be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward."
"asv","60","2","19","For this is acceptable, if for conscience toward God a man endureth griefs, suffering wrongfully."
"asv","60","2","20","For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted  for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God."
"asv","60","2","21","For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps:"
"asv","60","2","22","who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:"
"asv","60","2","23","who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed  himself to him that judgeth righteously:"
"asv","60","2","24","who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed."
"asv","60","2","25","For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls."
"asv","60","3","1","In like manner, ye wives,  be in subjection to your own husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives;"
"asv","60","3","2","beholding your chaste behavior  coupled with fear."
"asv","60","3","3","Whose  adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;"
"asv","60","3","4","but  let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
"asv","60","3","5","For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:"
"asv","60","3","6","as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror."
"asv","60","3","7","Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with  your wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered."
"asv","60","3","8","Finally,  be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:"
"asv","60","3","9","not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing."
"asv","60","3","10","For,He that would love life,And see good days,Let him refrain his tongue from evil,And his lips that they speak no guile:"
"asv","60","3","11","And let him turn away from evil, and do good;Let him seek peace, and pursue it."
"asv","60","3","12","For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous,And his ears unto their supplication:But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil."
"asv","60","3","13","And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?"
"asv","60","3","14","But even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;"
"asv","60","3","15","but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord:  being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:"
"asv","60","3","16","having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ."
"asv","60","3","17","For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing."
"asv","60","3","18","Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;"
"asv","60","3","19","in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,"
"asv","60","3","20","that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:"
"asv","60","3","21","which also after a true likeness doth now save you,  even  baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;"
"asv","60","3","22","who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him."
"asv","60","4","1","Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;"
"asv","60","4","2","that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God."
"asv","60","4","3","For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:"
"asv","60","4","4","wherein they think it strange that ye run not with  them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of  you:"
"asv","60","4","5","who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead."
"asv","60","4","6","For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."
"asv","60","4","7","But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:"
"asv","60","4","8","above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:"
"asv","60","4","9","using hospitality one to another without murmuring:"
"asv","60","4","10","according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;"
"asv","60","4","11","if any man speaketh,  speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth,  ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","60","4","12","Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:"
"asv","60","4","13","but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy."
"asv","60","4","14","If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed  are ye; because the  Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you."
"asv","60","4","15","For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:"
"asv","60","4","16","but if  a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name."
"asv","60","4","17","For the time  is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if  it begin first at us, what  shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?"
"asv","60","4","18","And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?"
"asv","60","4","19","Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator."
"asv","60","5","1","The elders therefore among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:"
"asv","60","5","2","Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to  the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;"
"asv","60","5","3","neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock."
"asv","60","5","4","And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away."
"asv","60","5","5","Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble."
"asv","60","5","6","Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;"
"asv","60","5","7","casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you."
"asv","60","5","8","Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"
"asv","60","5","9","whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world."
"asv","60","5","10","And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, establish, strengthen you."
"asv","60","5","11","To him  be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","60","5","12","By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account  him, I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God: stand ye fast therein."
"asv","60","5","13","She that is in Babylon, elect together with  you, saluteth you; and  so doth Mark my son."
"asv","60","5","14","Salute one another with a kiss of love. Peace be unto you all that are in Christ."
"asv","61","1","1","Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ:"
"asv","61","1","2","Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;"
"asv","61","1","3","seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue;"
"asv","61","1","4","whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust."
"asv","61","1","5","Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in  your virtue knowledge;"
"asv","61","1","6","and in  your knowledge self-control; and in  your  self-control patience; and in  your patience godliness;"
"asv","61","1","7","and in  your godliness brotherly kindness; and in  your  brotherly kindness love."
"asv","61","1","8","For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"asv","61","1","9","For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins."
"asv","61","1","10","Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:"
"asv","61","1","11","for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
"asv","61","1","12","Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you."
"asv","61","1","13","And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;"
"asv","61","1","14","knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me."
"asv","61","1","15","Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease to call these things to remembrance."
"asv","61","1","16","For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
"asv","61","1","17","For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there was borne such a voice to him by the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased:"
"asv","61","1","18","and this voice we  ourselves heard borne out of heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount."
"asv","61","1","19","And we have the word of prophecy  made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:"
"asv","61","1","20","knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation."
"asv","61","1","21","For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit."
"asv","61","2","1","But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction."
"asv","61","2","2","And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of."
"asv","61","2","3","And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not."
"asv","61","2","4","For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;"
"asv","61","2","5","and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;"
"asv","61","2","6","and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;"
"asv","61","2","7","and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked"
"asv","61","2","8","(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with  their lawless deeds):"
"asv","61","2","9","the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;"
"asv","61","2","10","but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:"
"asv","61","2","11","whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord."
"asv","61","2","12","But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, railing in matters whereof they are ignorant, shall in their destroying surely be destroyed,"
"asv","61","2","13","suffering wrong as the hire of wrong-doing;  men that count it pleasure to revel in the day-time, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceivings while they feast with you;"
"asv","61","2","14","having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;"
"asv","61","2","15","forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the  son of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;"
"asv","61","2","16","but he was rebuked for his own transgression: a dumb ass spake with man’s voice and stayed the madness of the prophet."
"asv","61","2","17","These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved."
"asv","61","2","18","For, uttering great swelling  words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;"
"asv","61","2","19","promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage."
"asv","61","2","20","For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first."
"asv","61","2","21","For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them."
"asv","61","2","22","It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire."
"asv","61","3","1","This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by putting you in remembrance;"
"asv","61","3","2","that ye should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour through your apostles:"
"asv","61","3","3","knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts,"
"asv","61","3","4","and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
"asv","61","3","5","For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;"
"asv","61","3","6","by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:"
"asv","61","3","7","but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men."
"asv","61","3","8","But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
"asv","61","3","9","The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
"asv","61","3","10","But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
"asv","61","3","11","Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in  all holy living and godliness,"
"asv","61","3","12","looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"
"asv","61","3","13","But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
"asv","61","3","14","Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight."
"asv","61","3","15","And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;"
"asv","61","3","16","as also in all  his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as  they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
"asv","61","3","17","Ye therefore, beloved, knowing  these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness."
"asv","61","3","18","But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him  be the glory both now and for ever. Amen."
"asv","62","1","1","That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life"
"asv","62","1","2","(and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal  life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us);"
"asv","62","1","3","that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:"
"asv","62","1","4","and these things we write, that our joy may be made full."
"asv","62","1","5","And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
"asv","62","1","6","If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:"
"asv","62","1","7","but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
"asv","62","1","8","If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
"asv","62","1","9","If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
"asv","62","1","10","If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."
"asv","62","2","1","My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
"asv","62","2","2","and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world."
"asv","62","2","3","And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments."
"asv","62","2","4","He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;"
"asv","62","2","5","but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:"
"asv","62","2","6","he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked."
"asv","62","2","7","Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard."
"asv","62","2","8","Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth."
"asv","62","2","9","He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now."
"asv","62","2","10","He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him."
"asv","62","2","11","But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes."
"asv","62","2","12","I write unto you,  my little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake."
"asv","62","2","13","I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father."
"asv","62","2","14","I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one."
"asv","62","2","15","Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
"asv","62","2","16","For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
"asv","62","2","17","And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
"asv","62","2","18","Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour."
"asv","62","2","19","They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but  they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us."
"asv","62","2","20","And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all things."
"asv","62","2","21","I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no lie is of the truth."
"asv","62","2","22","Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist,  even he that denieth the Father and the Son."
"asv","62","2","23","Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that confesseth the Son hath the Father also."
"asv","62","2","24","As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father."
"asv","62","2","25","And this is the promise which he promised us,  even the life eternal."
"asv","62","2","26","These things have I written unto you concerning them that would lead you astray."
"asv","62","2","27","And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him."
"asv","62","2","28","And now,  my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming."
"asv","62","2","29","If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him."
"asv","62","3","1","Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and  such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
"asv","62","3","2","Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is."
"asv","62","3","3","And every one that hath this hope  set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."
"asv","62","3","4","Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness."
"asv","62","3","5","And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin."
"asv","62","3","6","Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him."
"asv","62","3","7"," My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:"
"asv","62","3","8","he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
"asv","62","3","9","Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God."
"asv","62","3","10","In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother."
"asv","62","3","11","For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:"
"asv","62","3","12","not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother’s righteous."
"asv","62","3","13","Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you."
"asv","62","3","14","We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death."
"asv","62","3","15","Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
"asv","62","3","16","Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."
"asv","62","3","17","But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?"
"asv","62","3","18"," My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth."
"asv","62","3","19","Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him:"
"asv","62","3","20","because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things."
"asv","62","3","21","Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God;"
"asv","62","3","22","and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight."
"asv","62","3","23","And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment."
"asv","62","3","24","And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us."
"asv","62","4","1","Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
"asv","62","4","2","Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"
"asv","62","4","3","and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already."
"asv","62","4","4","Ye are of God,  my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world."
"asv","62","4","5","They are of the world: therefore speak they  as of the world, and the world heareth them."
"asv","62","4","6","We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."
"asv","62","4","7","Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God."
"asv","62","4","8","He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
"asv","62","4","9","Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him."
"asv","62","4","10","Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son  to be the propitiation for our sins."
"asv","62","4","11","Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
"asv","62","4","12","No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:"
"asv","62","4","13","hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit."
"asv","62","4","14","And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world."
"asv","62","4","15","Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God."
"asv","62","4","16","And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him."
"asv","62","4","17","Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world."
"asv","62","4","18","There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love."
"asv","62","4","19","We love, because he first loved us."
"asv","62","4","20","If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen."
"asv","62","4","21","And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also."
"asv","62","5","1","Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him."
"asv","62","5","2","Hereby we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do his commandments."
"asv","62","5","3","For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous."
"asv","62","5","4","For whatsoever is begotten of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world,  even our faith."
"asv","62","5","5","And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
"asv","62","5","6","This is he that came by water and blood,  even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood."
"asv","62","5","7","And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth."
"asv","62","5","8","For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one."
"asv","62","5","9","If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son."
"asv","62","5","10","He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son."
"asv","62","5","11","And the witness is this, that God gave unto us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
"asv","62","5","12","He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life."
"asv","62","5","13","These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life,  even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God."
"asv","62","5","14","And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:"
"asv","62","5","15","and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
"asv","62","5","16","If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and  God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he should make request."
"asv","62","5","17","All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death."
"asv","62","5","18","We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not."
"asv","62","5","19","We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one."
"asv","62","5","20","And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."
"asv","62","5","21"," My little children, guard yourselves from idols."
"asv","63","1","1","The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not I only, but also all they that know the truth;"
"asv","63","1","2","for the truth’s sake which abideth in us, and it shall be with us for ever:"
"asv","63","1","3","Grace, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love."
"asv","63","1","4","I rejoice greatly that I have found  certain of thy children walking in truth, even as we received commandment from the Father."
"asv","63","1","5","And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another."
"asv","63","1","6","And this is love, that we should walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it."
"asv","63","1","7","For many deceivers are gone forth into the world,  even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist."
"asv","63","1","8","Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward."
"asv","63","1","9","Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son."
"asv","63","1","10","If any one cometh unto you, and bringeth not this teaching, receive him not into  your house, and give him no greeting:"
"asv","63","1","11","for he that giveth him greeting partaketh in his evil works."
"asv","63","1","12","Having many things to write unto you, I would not  write them  with paper and ink: but I hope to come unto you, and to speak face to face, that your joy may be made full."
"asv","63","1","13","The children of thine elect sister salute thee."
"asv","64","1","1","The elder unto Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth."
"asv","64","1","2","Beloved, I pray that in all things thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
"asv","64","1","3","For I rejoiced greatly, when brethren came and bare witness unto thy truth, even as thou walkest in truth."
"asv","64","1","4","Greater joy have I none than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth."
"asv","64","1","5","Beloved, thou doest a faithful work in whatsoever thou doest toward them that are brethren and strangers withal;"
"asv","64","1","6","who bare witness to thy love before the church: whom thou wilt do well to set forward on their journey worthily of God:"
"asv","64","1","7","because that for the sake of the Name they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles."
"asv","64","1","8","We therefore ought to welcome such, that we may be fellow-workers for the truth."
"asv","64","1","9","I wrote somewhat unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not."
"asv","64","1","10","Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth  them out of the church."
"asv","64","1","11","Beloved, imitate not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: he that doeth evil hath not seen God."
"asv","64","1","12","Demetrius hath the witness of all  men, and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness; and thou knowest that our witness is true."
"asv","64","1","13","I had many things to write unto thee, but I am unwilling to write them to thee with ink and pen:"
"asv","64","1","14","but I hope shortly to see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be unto thee. The friends salute thee. Salute the friends by name."
"asv","65","1","1","Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:"
"asv","65","1","2","Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied."
"asv","65","1","3","Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints."
"asv","65","1","4","For there are certain men crept in privily,  even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."
"asv","65","1","5","Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not."
"asv","65","1","6","And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he hath kept in everlasting bonds under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."
"asv","65","1","7","Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire."
"asv","65","1","8","Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities."
"asv","65","1","9","But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."
"asv","65","1","10","But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed."
"asv","65","1","11","Woe unto them! for they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah."
"asv","65","1","12","These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;"
"asv","65","1","13","Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved for ever."
"asv","65","1","14","And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,"
"asv","65","1","15","to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him."
"asv","65","1","16","These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaketh great swelling  words), showing respect of persons for the sake of advantage."
"asv","65","1","17","But ye, beloved, remember ye the words which have been spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;"
"asv","65","1","18","that they said to you, In the last time there shall be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts."
"asv","65","1","19","These are they who make separations, sensual, having not the Spirit."
"asv","65","1","20","But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,"
"asv","65","1","21","keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."
"asv","65","1","22","And on some have mercy, who are in doubt;"
"asv","65","1","23","and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."
"asv","65","1","24","Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,"
"asv","65","1","25","to the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord,  be  glory, majesty, dominion and power, before all time, and now, and for evermore. Amen."
"asv","66","1","1","The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants,  even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified  it by his angel unto his servant John;"
"asv","66","1","2","who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,  even of all things that he saw."
"asv","66","1","3","Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand."
"asv","66","1","4","John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne;"
"asv","66","1","5","and from Jesus Christ,  who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood;"
"asv","66","1","6","and he made us  to be a kingdom,  to be priests unto his God and Father; to him  be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
"asv","66","1","7","Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen."
"asv","66","1","8","I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
"asv","66","1","9","I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience  which are in Jesus, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus."
"asv","66","1","10","I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet"
"asv","66","1","11","saying, What thou seest, write in a book and send  it to the seven churches: unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea."
"asv","66","1","12","And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;"
"asv","66","1","13","and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle."
"asv","66","1","14","And his head and his hair were white as white wool,  white  as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;"
"asv","66","1","15","and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters."
"asv","66","1","16","And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength."
"asv","66","1","17","And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,"
"asv","66","1","18","and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades."
"asv","66","1","19","Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;"
"asv","66","1","20","the mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks are seven churches."
"asv","66","2","1","To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:"
"asv","66","2","2","I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;"
"asv","66","2","3","and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name’s sake, and hast not grown weary."
"asv","66","2","4","But I have  this against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love."
"asv","66","2","5","Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent."
"asv","66","2","6","But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."
"asv","66","2","7","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God."
"asv","66","2","8","And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived  again:"
"asv","66","2","9","I know thy tribulation, and thy poverty (but thou art rich), and the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."
"asv","66","2","10","Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life."
"asv","66","2","11","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death."
"asv","66","2","12","And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things saith he that hath the sharp two-edged sword:"
"asv","66","2","13","I know where thou dwellest,  even where Satan’s throne is; and thou holdest fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas my witness, my faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwelleth."
"asv","66","2","14","But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there some that hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication."
"asv","66","2","15","So hast thou also some that hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans in like manner."
"asv","66","2","16","Repent therefore; or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth."
"asv","66","2","17","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it."
"asv","66","2","18","And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like unto burnished brass:"
"asv","66","2","19","I know thy works, and thy love and faith and ministry and patience, and that thy last works are more than the first."
"asv","66","2","20","But I have  this against thee, that thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess; and she teacheth and seduceth my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols."
"asv","66","2","21","And I gave her time that she should repent; and she willeth not to repent of her fornication."
"asv","66","2","22","Behold, I cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of her works."
"asv","66","2","23","And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works."
"asv","66","2","24","But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden."
"asv","66","2","25","Nevertheless that which ye have, hold fast till I come."
"asv","66","2","26","And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations:"
"asv","66","2","27","and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father:"
"asv","66","2","28","and I will give him the morning star."
"asv","66","2","29","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
"asv","66","3","1","And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and thou art dead."
"asv","66","3","2","Be thou watchful, and establish the things that remain, which were ready to die: for I have found no works of thine perfected before my God."
"asv","66","3","3","Remember therefore how thou hast received and didst hear; and keep it, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee."
"asv","66","3","4","But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy."
"asv","66","3","5","He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
"asv","66","3","6","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
"asv","66","3","7","And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and none shall shut, and that shutteth and none openeth:"
"asv","66","3","8","I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name."
"asv","66","3","9","Behold, I give of the synagogue of Satan, of them that say they are Jews, and they are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
"asv","66","3","10","Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that  hour which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
"asv","66","3","11","I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown."
"asv","66","3","12","He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name."
"asv","66","3","13","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
"asv","66","3","14","And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:"
"asv","66","3","15","I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot."
"asv","66","3","16","So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth."
"asv","66","3","17","Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:"
"asv","66","3","18","I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see."
"asv","66","3","19","As many as I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
"asv","66","3","20","Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
"asv","66","3","21","He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne."
"asv","66","3","22","He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches."
"asv","66","4","1","After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voice that I heard,  a voice as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee the things which must come to pass hereafter."
"asv","66","4","2","Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne;"
"asv","66","4","3","and he that sat  was to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and  there was a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon."
"asv","66","4","4","And round about the throne  were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones  I saw four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold."
"asv","66","4","5","And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God;"
"asv","66","4","6","and before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like unto crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, four living creatures full of eyes before and behind."
"asv","66","4","7","And the first creature  was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature  was like a flying eagle."
"asv","66","4","8","And the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying,"
"asv","66","4","9","And when the living creatures shall give glory and honor and thanks to him that sitteth on the throne, to him that liveth for ever and ever,"
"asv","66","4","10","the four and twenty elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying,"
"asv","66","4","11","Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created."
"asv","66","5","1","And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals."
"asv","66","5","2","And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?"
"asv","66","5","3","And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon."
"asv","66","5","4","And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon:"
"asv","66","5","5","and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof."
"asv","66","5","6","And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth."
"asv","66","5","7","And he came, and he taketh  it out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne."
"asv","66","5","8","And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints."
"asv","66","5","9","And they sing a new song, saying,"
"asv","66","5","10","and madest them  to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth."
"asv","66","5","11","And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"
"asv","66","5","12","saying with a great voice,"
"asv","66","5","13","And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and on the sea, and all things that are in them, heard I saying,"
"asv","66","5","14","And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped."
"asv","66","6","1","And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come."
"asv","66","6","2","And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer."
"asv","66","6","3","And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come."
"asv","66","6","4","And another  horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."
"asv","66","6","5","And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand."
"asv","66","6","6","And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not."
"asv","66","6","7","And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come."
"asv","66","6","8","And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth."
"asv","66","6","9","And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:"
"asv","66","6","10","and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"
"asv","66","6","11","And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled  their course."
"asv","66","6","12","And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood;"
"asv","66","6","13","and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind."
"asv","66","6","14","And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
"asv","66","6","15","And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;"
"asv","66","6","16","and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:"
"asv","66","6","17","for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?"
"asv","66","7","1","After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree."
"asv","66","7","2","And I saw another angel ascend from the sunrising, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,"
"asv","66","7","3","saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads."
"asv","66","7","4","And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:"
"asv","66","7","5","Of the tribe of Judah  were sealed twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand;"
"asv","66","7","6","Of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand;"
"asv","66","7","7","Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand;"
"asv","66","7","8","Of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand;Of the tribe of Benjamin  were sealed twelve thousand."
"asv","66","7","9","After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of  all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;"
"asv","66","7","10","and they cry with a great voice, saying,"
"asv","66","7","11","And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and  about  the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,"
"asv","66","7","12","saying,"
"asv","66","7","13","And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, These that are arrayed in the white robes, who are they, and whence came they?"
"asv","66","7","14","And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
"asv","66","7","15","Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them."
"asv","66","7","16","They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat:"
"asv","66","7","17","for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life: and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes."
"asv","66","8","1","And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
"asv","66","8","2","And I saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given unto them seven trumpets."
"asv","66","8","3","And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne."
"asv","66","8","4","And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand."
"asv","66","8","5","And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake."
"asv","66","8","6","And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound."
"asv","66","8","7","And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."
"asv","66","8","8","And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;"
"asv","66","8","9","and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, even they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed."
"asv","66","8","10","And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of the waters;"
"asv","66","8","11","and the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."
"asv","66","8","12","And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner."
"asv","66","8","13","And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for them that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound."
"asv","66","9","1","And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss."
"asv","66","9","2","And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit."
"asv","66","9","3","And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power."
"asv","66","9","4","And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads."
"asv","66","9","5","And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man."
"asv","66","9","6","And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them."
"asv","66","9","7","And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces."
"asv","66","9","8","And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions."
"asv","66","9","9","And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war."
"asv","66","9","10","And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months."
"asv","66","9","11","They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek  tongue he hath the name Apollyon."
"asv","66","9","12","The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter."
"asv","66","9","13","And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,"
"asv","66","9","14","one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates."
"asv","66","9","15","And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men."
"asv","66","9","16","And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them."
"asv","66","9","17","And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates  as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone."
"asv","66","9","18","By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths."
"asv","66","9","19","For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt."
"asv","66","9","20","And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:"
"asv","66","9","21","and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."
"asv","66","10","1","And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire;"
"asv","66","10","2","and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth;"
"asv","66","10","3","and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices."
"asv","66","10","4","And when the seven thunders uttered  their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not."
"asv","66","10","5","And the angel that I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven,"
"asv","66","10","6","and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be delay no longer:"
"asv","66","10","7","but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets."
"asv","66","10","8","And the voice which I heard from heaven,  I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth."
"asv","66","10","9","And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey."
"asv","66","10","10","And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter."
"asv","66","10","11","And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings."
"asv","66","11","1","And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein."
"asv","66","11","2","And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the nations: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
"asv","66","11","3","And I will give unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth."
"asv","66","11","4","These are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks, standing before the Lord of the earth."
"asv","66","11","5","And if any man desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies; and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed."
"asv","66","11","6","These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire."
"asv","66","11","7","And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them."
"asv","66","11","8","And their dead bodies  lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified."
"asv","66","11","9","And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb."
"asv","66","11","10","And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth."
"asv","66","11","11","And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them."
"asv","66","11","12","And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them."
"asv","66","11","13","And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."
"asv","66","11","14","The second Woe is past: behold, the third Woe cometh quickly."
"asv","66","11","15","And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed great voices in heaven, and they said,"
"asv","66","11","16","And the four and twenty elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell upon their faces and worshipped God,"
"asv","66","11","17","saying,"
"asv","66","11","18","And the nations were wroth, and thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and  the time to give their reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy them that destroy the earth."
"asv","66","11","19","And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail."
"asv","66","12","1","And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;"
"asv","66","12","2","and she was with child; and she crieth out, travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered."
"asv","66","12","3","And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems."
"asv","66","12","4","And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child."
"asv","66","12","5","And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne."
"asv","66","12","6","And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days."
"asv","66","12","7","And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels  going forth  to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;"
"asv","66","12","8","And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven."
"asv","66","12","9","And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him."
"asv","66","12","10","And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying,"
"asv","66","12","11","And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death."
"asv","66","12","12","Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time."
"asv","66","12","13","And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man  child."
"asv","66","12","14","And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."
"asv","66","12","15","And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream."
"asv","66","12","16","And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth."
"asv","66","12","17","And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:"
"asv","66","13","1","and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy."
"asv","66","13","2","And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as  the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority."
"asv","66","13","3","And  I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;"
"asv","66","13","4","and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him?"
"asv","66","13","5","and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months."
"asv","66","13","6","And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle,  even them that dwell in the heaven."
"asv","66","13","7","And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation."
"asv","66","13","8","And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him,  every one  whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain."
"asv","66","13","9","If any man hath an ear, let him hear."
"asv","66","13","10","If any man  is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
"asv","66","13","11","And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
"asv","66","13","12","And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed."
"asv","66","13","13","And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men."
"asv","66","13","14","And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived."
"asv","66","13","15","And it was given  unto him to give breath to it,  even  to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
"asv","66","13","16","And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead;"
"asv","66","13","17","and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark,  even the name of the beast or the number of his name."
"asv","66","13","18","Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six."
"asv","66","14","1","And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads."
"asv","66","14","2","And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and the voice which I heard  was as the voice of harpers harping with their harps:"
"asv","66","14","3","and they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders: and no man could learn the song save the hundred and forty and four thousand,  even they that had been purchased out of the earth."
"asv","66","14","4","These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These  are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men,  to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb."
"asv","66","14","5","And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish."
"asv","66","14","6","And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having eternal good tidings to proclaim unto them that dwell on the earth, and unto every nation and tribe and tongue and people;"
"asv","66","14","7","and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters."
"asv","66","14","8","And another, a second angel, followed, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, that hath made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
"asv","66","14","9","And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand,"
"asv","66","14","10","he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"
"asv","66","14","11","and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name."
"asv","66","14","12","Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
"asv","66","14","13","And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."
"asv","66","14","14","And I saw, and behold, a white cloud; and on the cloud  I saw  one sitting like unto a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand sharp a sickle."
"asv","66","14","15","And another angel came out from the temple, crying with a great voice to him that sat on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle, and reap: for the hour to reap is come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
"asv","66","14","16","And he that sat on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped."
"asv","66","14","17","And another angel came out from the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle."
"asv","66","14","18","And another angel came out from the altar, he that hath power over fire; and he called with a great voice to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe."
"asv","66","14","19","And the angel cast his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great  winepress, of the wrath of God."
"asv","66","14","20","And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs."
"asv","66","15","1","And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having seven plagues,  which are the last, for in them is finished the wrath of God."
"asv","66","15","2","And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass, having harps of God."
"asv","66","15","3","And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,"
"asv","66","15","4","Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest."
"asv","66","15","5","And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:"
"asv","66","15","6","and there came out from the temple the seven angels that had the seven plagues, arrayed with  precious stone, pure  and bright, and girt about their breasts with golden girdles."
"asv","66","15","7","And one of the four living creatures gave unto the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever."
"asv","66","15","8","And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and none was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels should be finished."
"asv","66","16","1","And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth."
"asv","66","16","2","And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshipped his image."
"asv","66","16","3","And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died,  even the things that were in the sea."
"asv","66","16","4","And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood."
"asv","66","16","5","And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:"
"asv","66","16","6","for they poured out the blood of the saints and prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy."
"asv","66","16","7","And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments."
"asv","66","16","8","And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire."
"asv","66","16","9","And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory."
"asv","66","16","10","And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,"
"asv","66","16","11","and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works."
"asv","66","16","12","And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the  river  Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that  come from the sunrising."
"asv","66","16","13","And I saw  coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:"
"asv","66","16","14","for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty."
"asv","66","16","15","(Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)"
"asv","66","16","16","And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon."
"asv","66","16","17","And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done:"
"asv","66","16","18","and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty."
"asv","66","16","19","And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath."
"asv","66","16","20","And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."
"asv","66","16","21","And great hail,  every stone about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof is exceeding great."
"asv","66","17","1","And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls, and spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;"
"asv","66","17","2","with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and they that dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication."
"asv","66","17","3","And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness: and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
"asv","66","17","4","And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication,"
"asv","66","17","5","and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
"asv","66","17","6","And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with a great wonder."
"asv","66","17","7","And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns."
"asv","66","17","8","The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder,  they whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come."
"asv","66","17","9","Here is the mind that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth:"
"asv","66","17","10","and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while."
"asv","66","17","11","And the beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into perdition."
"asv","66","17","12","And the ten horns that thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour."
"asv","66","17","13","These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast."
"asv","66","17","14","These shall war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they  also shall overcome  that are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
"asv","66","17","15","And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."
"asv","66","17","16","And the ten horns which thou sawest, and the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her utterly with fire."
"asv","66","17","17","For God did put in their hearts to do his mind, and to come to one mind, and to give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished."
"asv","66","17","18","And the woman whom thou sawest is the great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
"asv","66","18","1","After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was lightened with his glory."
"asv","66","18","2","And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird."
"asv","66","18","3","For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness."
"asv","66","18","4","And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:"
"asv","66","18","5","for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."
"asv","66","18","6","Render unto her even as she rendered, and double  unto her  the double according to her works: in the cup which she mingled, mingle unto her double."
"asv","66","18","7","How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning."
"asv","66","18","8","Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her."
"asv","66","18","9","And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning,"
"asv","66","18","10","standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."
"asv","66","18","11","And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more;"
"asv","66","18","12","merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;"
"asv","66","18","13","and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and merchandise of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men."
"asv","66","18","14","And the fruits which thy soul lusted after are gone from thee, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous are perished from thee, and  men  shall find them no more at all."
"asv","66","18","15","The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;"
"asv","66","18","16","saying, Woe, woe, the great city, she that was arrayed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearl!"
"asv","66","18","17","for in one hour so great riches is made desolate. And every shipmaster, and every one that saileth any whither, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood afar off,"
"asv","66","18","18","and cried out as they looked upon the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like the great city?"
"asv","66","18","19","And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all that had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."
"asv","66","18","20","Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her."
"asv","66","18","21","And a strong angel took up a stone as it were a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with a mighty fall shall Babylon, the great city, be cast down, and shall be found no more at all."
"asv","66","18","22","And the voice of harpers and minstrels and flute-players and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft, shall be found any more at all in thee; and the voice of a mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;"
"asv","66","18","23","and the light of a lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the princes of the earth; for with thy sorcery were all the nations deceived."
"asv","66","18","24","And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that have been slain upon the earth."
"asv","66","19","1","After these things I heard as it were a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying,"
"asv","66","19","2","for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath judged the great harlot, her that corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand."
"asv","66","19","3","And a second time they say, Hallelujah. And her smoke goeth up for ever and ever."
"asv","66","19","4","And the four and twenty elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God that sitteth on the throne, saying, Amen; Hallelujah."
"asv","66","19","5","And a voice came forth from the throne, saying,"
"asv","66","19","6","And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunders, saying,"
"asv","66","19","7","Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready."
"asv","66","19","8","And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright  and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints."
"asv","66","19","9","And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God."
"asv","66","19","10","And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he saith unto me, See thou do it not: I am a fellow-servant with thee and with thy brethren that hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
"asv","66","19","11","And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he doth judge and make war."
"asv","66","19","12","And his eyes  are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself."
"asv","66","19","13","And he  is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God."
"asv","66","19","14","And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white  and pure."
"asv","66","19","15","And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty."
"asv","66","19","16","And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
"asv","66","19","17","And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come  and be gathered together unto the great supper of God;"
"asv","66","19","18","that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great."
"asv","66","19","19","And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat upon the horse, and against his army."
"asv","66","19","20","And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought the signs in his sight, wherewith he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burneth with brimstone:"
"asv","66","19","21","and the rest were killed with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, even the sword which came forth out of his mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh."
"asv","66","20","1","And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand."
"asv","66","20","2","And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,"
"asv","66","20","3","and cast him into the abyss, and shut  it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time."
"asv","66","20","4","And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and  I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
"asv","66","20","5","The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection."
"asv","66","20","6","Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
"asv","66","20","7","And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,"
"asv","66","20","8","and shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."
"asv","66","20","9","And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them."
"asv","66","20","10","And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
"asv","66","20","11","And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."
"asv","66","20","12","And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is  the book  of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works."
"asv","66","20","13","And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."
"asv","66","20","14","And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death,  even the lake of fire."
"asv","66","20","15","And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire."
"asv","66","21","1","And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more."
"asv","66","21","2","And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband."
"asv","66","21","3","And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them,  and be their God:"
"asv","66","21","4","and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away."
"asv","66","21","5","And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, Write: for these words are faithful and true."
"asv","66","21","6","And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely."
"asv","66","21","7","He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son."
"asv","66","21","8","But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."
"asv","66","21","9","And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
"asv","66","21","10","And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,"
"asv","66","21","11","having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:"
"asv","66","21","12","having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are  the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:"
"asv","66","21","13","on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates."
"asv","66","21","14","And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."
"asv","66","21","15","And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof."
"asv","66","21","16","And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal."
"asv","66","21","17","And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel."
"asv","66","21","18","And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass."
"asv","66","21","19","The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;"
"asv","66","21","20","the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst."
"asv","66","21","21","And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass."
"asv","66","21","22","And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof."
"asv","66","21","23","And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof  is  the Lamb."
"asv","66","21","24","And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it."
"asv","66","21","25","And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):"
"asv","66","21","26","and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:"
"asv","66","21","27","and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb’s book of life."
"asv","66","22","1","And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,"
"asv","66","22","2","in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve  manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
"asv","66","22","3","And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants shall serve him;"
"asv","66","22","4","and they shall see his face; and his name  shall be on their foreheads."
"asv","66","22","5","And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever."
"asv","66","22","6","And he said unto me, These words are faithful and true: and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly come to pass."
"asv","66","22","7","And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book."
"asv","66","22","8","And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things."

"asv","66","22","10","And he saith unto me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand."
"asv","66","22","11","He that is unrighteous, let him do unrighteousness still: and he that is filthy, let him be made filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him do righteousness still: and he that is holy, let him be made holy still."

"asv","66","22","18","I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book:"
"asv","66","22","19","and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book."
"asv","66","22","20","He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus."

"web","58","6","11","We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,"
"web","58","6","12","that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises."
"web","58","6","13","For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,"

"web","58","6","19","This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;"
"web","58","6","20","where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."
"web","58","7","1","For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,"
"web","58","7","2","to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”;"
"web","58","7","3","without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually."
"web","58","7","4","Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder."
"web","58","7","5","They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,"
"web","58","7","6","but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises."
"web","58","7","7","But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater."
"web","58","7","8","Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives."
"web","58","7","9","We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,"
"web","58","7","10","for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him."
"web","58","7","11","Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?"
"web","58","7","12","For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law."
"web","58","7","13","For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar."
"web","58","7","14","For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood."
"web","58","7","15","This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,"
"web","58","7","16","who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:"
"web","58","7","17","for it is testified,“You are a priest forever,according to the order of Melchizedek.” + Psalm 110:4"
"web","58","7","18","For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness"
"web","58","7","19","(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God."
"web","58","7","20","Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath"
"web","58","7","21","(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him,“The Lord swore and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever,according to the order of Melchizedek.’” + Psalm 110:4"
"web","58","7","22","By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant."
"web","58","7","23","Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death."

"web","58","7","25","Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them."
"web","58","7","26","For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"
"web","58","7","27","who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself."
"web","58","7","28","For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected."
"web","58","8","1","Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,"
"web","58","8","2","a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man."
"web","58","8","3","For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer."

"webme","1","19","9","They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to liveas a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse withyou, than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and came near to breakthe door. "

"webme","1","29","29","Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his servant, to be herservant. "
"webme","1","29","30","He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, andserved with him yet seven other years. "
"webme","1","29","31","The LORD saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel wasbarren. "
"webme","1","29","32","Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said,“Because the LORD has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will loveme.” "
"webme","1","29","33","She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD hasheard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also.” She named himSimeon. "
"webme","1","29","34","She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, “Now this time will myhusband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore hisname was called Levi. "
"webme","1","29","35","She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, “This time will I praisethe LORD.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing."
"webme","1","30","1","When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied hersister. She said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I will die.”"
"webme","1","30","2","Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in God’s place,who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”"
"webme","1","30","3","She said, “Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on myknees, and I also may obtain children by her.”"
"webme","1","30","4","She gave him Bilhah her servant as wife, and Jacob went in to her."
"webme","1","30","5","Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son."
"webme","1","30","6","Rachel said, “God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and hasgiven me a son.” Therefore called she his name Dan."

"webme","1","30","10","Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a son."
"webme","1","30","11","Leah said, “How fortunate!” She named him Gad."
"webme","1","30","12","Zilpah, Leah’s servant, bore Jacob a second son."
"webme","1","30","13","Leah said, “Happy am I, for the daughters will call me happy.” She namedhim Asher. "
"webme","1","30","14","Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in thefield, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Pleasegive me some of your son’s mandrakes.” "
"webme","1","30","15","She said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away myhusband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes, also?”mandrakes.” "
"webme","1","30","16","Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him,and said, “You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son’smandrakes.” "
"webme","1","30","17","God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son."
"webme","1","30","18","Leah said, “God has given me my hire, because I gave my servant to myhusband.” She named him Issachar. "
"webme","1","30","19","Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob."
"webme","1","30","20","Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband willlive with me, because I have borne him six sons.” She named him Zebulun."

"webme","1","30","24","She named him Joseph, + Joseph means “may headd”. saying, “May the LORD add another son to me.”"
"webme","1","30","25","When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that Imay go to my own place, and to my country."
"webme","1","30","26","Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let mego; for you know my service with which I have served you.”"
"webme","1","30","27","Laban said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here,for I have divined that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”"
"webme","1","30","28","He said, “Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.”"
"webme","1","30","29","He said to him, “You know how I have served you, and how your livestockhave fared with me. "
"webme","1","30","30","For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to amultitude. The LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I providefor my own house also?” "
"webme","1","30","31","He said, “What shall I give you?”me, I will again feed your flock and keep it."
"webme","1","30","32","I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there everyspeckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spottedand speckled among the goats. This will be my hire."
"webme","1","30","33","So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you comeconcerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled andspotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me,will be counted stolen.” "
"webme","1","30","34","Laban said, “Behold, let it be according to your word.”"
"webme","1","30","35","That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, andall the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had whitein it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand ofhis sons. "
"webme","1","30","36","He set three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed therest of Laban’s flocks. "
"webme","1","30","37","Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeledwhite streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods."
"webme","1","30","38","He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the guttersin the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived whenthey came to drink. "
"webme","1","30","39","The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks produced streaked,speckled, and spotted. "
"webme","1","30","40","Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward thestreaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own drovesapart, and didn’t put them into Laban’s flock."
"webme","1","30","41","Whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, Jacob laid the rods infront of the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive amongthe rods; "
"webme","1","30","42","but when the flock were feeble, he didn’t put them in. So the feeblerwere Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s."
"webme","1","30","43","The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants andmale servants, and camels and donkeys. "
"webme","1","31","1","He heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away allthat was our father’s. From that which was our father’s, has he gotten allthis wealth.” "
"webme","1","31","2","Jacob saw the expression on Laban’s face, and, behold, it was not towardhim as before. "
"webme","1","31","3","The LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to yourrelatives, and I will be with you.” "
"webme","1","31","4","Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,"
"webme","1","31","5","and said to them, “I see the expression on your father’s face, that it isnot toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me."
"webme","1","31","6","You know that I have served your father with all of my strength."
"webme","1","31","7","Your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but Goddidn’t allow him to hurt me. "
"webme","1","31","8","If he said this, ‘The speckled will be your wages,’ then all the flockbore speckled. If he said this, ‘The streaked will be your wages,’ then allthe flock bore streaked. "
"webme","1","31","9","Thus God has taken away your father’s livestock, and given them to me."
"webme","1","31","10","During mating season, I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, andbehold, the male goats which leaped on the flock were streaked, speckled, andgrizzled. "
"webme","1","31","11","The angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob,’ and I said, ‘Here Iam.’ "

"webme","1","31","13","I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed avow to me. Now arise, get out from this land, and return to the land of yourbirth.’” "
"webme","1","31","14","Rachel and Leah answered him, “Is there yet any portion or inheritancefor us in our father’s house? "
"webme","1","31","15","Aren’t we accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and hasalso quite devoured our money. "
"webme","1","31","16","For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that isours and our children’s. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do.”"
"webme","1","31","17","Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives on the camels,"
"webme","1","31","18","and he took away all his livestock, and all his possessions which he hadgathered, including the livestock which he had gained in Paddan Aram, to go toIsaac his father, to the land of Canaan."
"webme","1","31","19","Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim + teraphim were household idols that may have been associated withinheritance rights to the household property. that were her father’s."
"webme","1","31","20","Jacob deceived Laban the Syrian, in that he didn’t tell him that he wasrunning away. "
"webme","1","31","21","So he fled with all that he had. He rose up, passed over the River, andset his face toward the mountain of Gilead."
"webme","1","31","22","Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled."
"webme","1","31","23","He took his relatives with him, and pursued him seven days’ journey. Heovertook him in the mountain of Gilead."
"webme","1","31","24","God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream of the night, and said to him,“Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”"
"webme","1","31","25","Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in themountain, and Laban with his relatives encamped in the mountain of Gilead."
"webme","1","31","26","Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, andcarried away my daughters like captives of the sword?"
"webme","1","31","27","Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that Imight have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and withharp; "
"webme","1","31","28","and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you donefoolishly. "
"webme","1","31","29","It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your fatherspoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacobeither good or bad.’ "
"webme","1","31","30","Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’shouse, but why have you stolen my gods?”"
"webme","1","31","31","Jacob answered Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Lest youshould take your daughters from me by force.’"
"webme","1","31","32","Anyone you find your gods with shall not live. Before our relatives,discern what is yours with me, and take it.” For Jacob didn’t know that Rachelhad stolen them. "
"webme","1","31","33","Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the tent of thetwo female servants; but he didn’t find them. He went out of Leah’s tent, andentered into Rachel’s tent. "
"webme","1","31","34","Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, + teraphim were household idolsthat may have been associated with inheritance rights to the householdproperty. put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. Laban feltaround all the tent, but didn’t find them."
"webme","1","31","35","She said to her father, “Don’t let my lord be angry that I can’t rise upbefore you; for I’m having my period.” He searched, but didn’t find theteraphim. "
"webme","1","31","36","Jacob was angry, and argued with Laban. Jacob answered Laban, “What ismy trespass? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me?"
"webme","1","31","37","Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found ofall your household stuff? Set it here before my relatives and your relatives,that they may judge between us two. "
"webme","1","31","38","“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your femalegoats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks."
"webme","1","31","39","That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss.Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night."
"webme","1","31","40","This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frostby night; and my sleep fled from my eyes."
"webme","1","31","41","These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteenyears for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you havechanged my wages ten times. "
"webme","1","31","42","Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac,had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seenmy affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”"
"webme","1","31","43","Laban answered Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, the children aremy children, the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine: and whatcan I do today to these my daughters, or to their children whom they haveborne? "
"webme","1","31","44","Now come, let us make a covenant, you and I; and let it be for a witnessbetween me and you.” "
"webme","1","31","45","Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar."
"webme","1","31","46","Jacob said to his relatives, “Gather stones.” They took stones, and madea heap. They ate there by the heap. "
"webme","1","31","47","Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, + “Jegar Sahadutha” means “WitnessHeap” in Aramaic. but Jacob called itGaleed. + “Galeed” means “Witness Heap” inHebrew. "
"webme","1","31","48","Laban said, “This heap is witness between me and you today.” Thereforeit was named Galeed "

"webme","1","31","50","If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters,no man is with us; behold, God is witness between me and you.”"
"webme","1","31","51","Laban said to Jacob, “See this heap, and see the pillar, which I haveset between me and you. "

"webme","1","31","53","The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judgebetween us.” Then Jacob swore by the fear of his father, Isaac."
"webme","1","31","54","Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives toeat bread. They ate bread, and stayed all night in the mountain."
"webme","1","31","55","Early in the morning, Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and hisdaughters, and blessed them. Laban departed and returned to his place."
"webme","1","32","1","Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him."
"webme","1","32","2","When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name ofthat place Mahanaim. "
"webme","1","32","3","Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the landof Seir, the field of Edom. "
"webme","1","32","4","He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau:‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner withLaban, and stayed until now. "
"webme","1","32","5","I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. Ihave sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”"
"webme","1","32","6","The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau.Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.”"
"webme","1","32","7","Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the peoplewho were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into twocompanies; "
"webme","1","32","8","and he said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then thecompany which is left will escape.” "
"webme","1","32","9","Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, theLORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and Iwill do you good,’ "
"webme","1","32","10","I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of allthe truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff Icrossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies."
"webme","1","32","11","Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau:for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, and the mothers with the children."
"webme","1","32","12","You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make youroffspring + or, seed as the sand of the sea, which can’t be numberedbecause there are so many.’” "
"webme","1","32","13","He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him, apresent for Esau, his brother: "
"webme","1","32","14","two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes andtwenty rams, "
"webme","1","32","15","thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty femaledonkeys and ten foals. "
"webme","1","32","16","He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself,and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herdand herd.” "
"webme","1","32","17","He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you,and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are thesebefore you?’ "
"webme","1","32","18","Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a presentsent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”"
"webme","1","32","19","He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed theherds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him."
"webme","1","32","20","You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, isbehind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goesbefore me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”"
"webme","1","32","21","So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that nightin the camp. "
"webme","1","32","22","He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, andhis eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok."
"webme","1","32","23","He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which hehad. "
"webme","1","32","24","Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breakingof the day. "
"webme","1","32","25","When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, he touched the hollow ofhis thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled."
"webme","1","32","26","The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.”"
"webme","1","32","27","He said to him, “What is your name?”"
"webme","1","32","28","He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for youhave fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”"

"webme","1","32","31","The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because ofhis thigh. "
"webme","1","32","32","Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, whichis on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow ofJacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip. "
"webme","1","33","1","Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, andwith him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, andthe two servants. "

"webme","1","33","4","Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, andthey wept. "
"webme","1","33","5","He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Whoare these with you?” "
"webme","1","33","6","Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowedthemselves. "
"webme","1","33","7","Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them,Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves."
"webme","1","33","8","Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?”"
"webme","1","33","9","Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”"
"webme","1","33","10","Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, thenreceive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees theface of God, and you were pleased with me."
"webme","1","33","11","Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealtgraciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it."
"webme","1","33","12","Esau said, “Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go beforeyou.” "
"webme","1","33","13","Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and thatthe flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them oneday, all the flocks will die. "
"webme","1","33","14","Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead ongently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me andaccording to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”"

"webme","1","40","17","In the uppermost basket there were all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh,and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”"
"webme","1","40","18","Joseph answered, “This is its interpretation. The three baskets arethree days. "
"webme","1","40","19","Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, andwill hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you.”"
"webme","1","40","20","On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for allhis servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the headof the chief baker among his servants. "
"webme","1","40","21","He restored the chief cup bearer to his position again, and he gave thecup into Pharaoh’s hand; "
"webme","1","40","22","but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them."
"webme","1","40","23","Yet the chief cup bearer didn’t remember Joseph, but forgot him."
"webme","1","41","1","At the end of two full years, Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood bythe river. "
"webme","1","41","2","Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, andthey fed in the marsh grass. "
"webme","1","41","3","Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly andthin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river."
"webme","1","41","4","The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. SoPharaoh awoke. "
"webme","1","41","5","He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain cameup on one stalk, healthy and good. "
"webme","1","41","6","Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprungup after them. "
"webme","1","41","7","The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears.Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream."
"webme","1","41","8","In the morning, his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for allof Egypt’s magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there wasno one who could interpret them to Pharaoh."
"webme","1","41","9","Then the chief cup bearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my faultstoday. "
"webme","1","41","10","Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the houseof the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker."
"webme","1","41","11","We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man accordingto the interpretation of his dream. "
"webme","1","41","12","There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain ofthe guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. To each manaccording to his dream he interpreted. "
"webme","1","41","13","As he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and hehanged him.” "
"webme","1","41","14","Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out ofthe dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh."
"webme","1","41","15","Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one whocan interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream youcan interpret it.” "
"webme","1","41","16","Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaohan answer of peace.” "
"webme","1","41","17","Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink ofthe river: "
"webme","1","41","18","and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek.They fed in the marsh grass, "
"webme","1","41","19","and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very uglyand thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness."
"webme","1","41","20","The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,"
"webme","1","41","21","and when they had eaten them up, it couldn’t be known that they hadeaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke."
"webme","1","41","22","I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on onestalk, full and good: "
"webme","1","41","23","and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with theeast wind, sprung up after them. "
"webme","1","41","24","The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. Itold it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me.”"
"webme","1","41","25","Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is aboutto do he has declared to Pharaoh. "
"webme","1","41","26","The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grainare seven years. The dream is one. "
"webme","1","41","27","The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years,and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they willbe seven years of famine. "
"webme","1","41","28","That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do hehas shown to Pharaoh. "
"webme","1","41","29","Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the landof Egypt. "
"webme","1","41","30","There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plentywill be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,"
"webme","1","41","31","and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that faminewhich follows; for it will be very grievous."
"webme","1","41","32","The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established byGod, and God will shortly bring it to pass."
"webme","1","41","33","“Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set himover the land of Egypt. "
"webme","1","41","34","Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, andtake up the fifth part of the land of Egypt’s produce in the seven plenteousyears. "
"webme","1","41","35","Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay upgrain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it."
"webme","1","41","36","The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years offamine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish throughthe famine.” "
"webme","1","41","37","The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all hisservants. "
"webme","1","41","38","Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man inwhom is the Spirit of God?” "
"webme","1","41","39","Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Because God has shown you all of this, there isno one so discreet and wise as you. "
"webme","1","41","40","You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all mypeople be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you.”"
"webme","1","41","41","Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land ofEgypt.” "
"webme","1","41","42","Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph’shand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about hisneck, "
"webme","1","41","43","and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They criedbefore him, “Bow the knee!” He set him over all the land of Egypt."
"webme","1","41","44","Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man liftup his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”"
"webme","1","41","45","Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath,the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over theland of Egypt. "
"webme","1","41","46","Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt.Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the landof Egypt. "
"webme","1","41","47","In the seven plenteous years the earth produced abundantly."
"webme","1","41","48","He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land ofEgypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which wasaround every city, he laid up in the same."
"webme","1","41","49","Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stoppedcounting, for it was without number. "
"webme","1","41","50","To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whomAsenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him."
"webme","1","41","51","Joseph called the name of the firstbornManasseh, + “Manasseh” sounds like the Hebrew for“forget”. “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all myfather’s house.” "
"webme","1","41","52","The name of the second, he calledEphraim + “Ephraim” sounds like the Hebrew for “twicefruitful”.: “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”"
"webme","1","41","53","The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to anend. "
"webme","1","41","54","The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. Therewas famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread."
"webme","1","41","55","When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh forbread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says toyou, do.” "
"webme","1","41","56","The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all thestore houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land ofEgypt. "
"webme","1","41","57","All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because thefamine was severe in all the earth. "
"webme","1","42","1","Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons,“Why do you look at one another?” "
"webme","1","42","2","He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go downthere, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”"
"webme","1","42","3","Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt."
"webme","1","42","4","But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; forhe said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”"
"webme","1","42","5","The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine wasin the land of Canaan. "
"webme","1","42","6","Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all thepeople of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to himwith their faces to the earth. "
"webme","1","42","7","Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like astranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did youcome from?” "
"webme","1","42","8","Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him."
"webme","1","42","9","Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said tothem, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.”"
"webme","1","42","10","They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food."
"webme","1","42","11","We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are notspies.” "
"webme","1","42","12","He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of theland!” "
"webme","1","42","13","They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one manin the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, andone is no more.” "
"webme","1","42","14","Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’"
"webme","1","42","15","By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not goout from here, unless your youngest brother comes here."
"webme","1","42","16","Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound,that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by thelife of Pharaoh surely you are spies.” "
"webme","1","42","17","He put them all together into custody for three days."
"webme","1","42","18","Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God."

"webme","1","42","20","Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, andyou won’t die.” "
"webme","1","42","21","They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning ourbrother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and wewouldn’t listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”"
"webme","1","42","22","Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sinagainst the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? Therefore also, behold, his bloodis required.” "
"webme","1","42","23","They didn’t know that Joseph understood them; for there was aninterpreter between them. "
"webme","1","42","24","He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them,and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before theireyes. "
"webme","1","42","25","Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restoreeach man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it wasdone to them. "
"webme","1","42","26","They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there."
"webme","1","42","27","As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodgingplace, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack."
"webme","1","42","28","He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in mysack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another,saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”"
"webme","1","42","29","They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him allthat had happened to them, saying, "

"webme","1","42","33","The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that youare honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for thefamine of your houses, and go your way."
"webme","1","42","34","Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are notspies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, andyou shall trade in the land.’” "
"webme","1","42","35","As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was inhis sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they wereafraid. "
"webme","1","42","36","Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children!Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. Allthese things are against me.” "
"webme","1","42","37","Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bringhim to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”"
"webme","1","42","38","He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead,and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go,then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow toSheol.” + Sheol is the place of the dead."

"webme","1","43","19","They came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke to himat the door of the house, "

"webme","2","32","35","The LORD struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaronmade. "
"webme","2","33","1","The LORD spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the peoplethat you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which Iswore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to youroffspring. + or, seed’ "

"webme","3","8","30","Moses took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood which was onthe altar, and sprinkled it on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and onhis sons’ garments with him, and sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons,and his sons’ garments with him. "
"webme","3","8","31","Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the flesh at the door of theTent of Meeting, and there eat it and the bread that is in the basket ofconsecration, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’"

"webme","3","8","36","Aaron and his sons did all the things which the LORD commanded by Moses."
"webme","3","9","1","On the eighth day, Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders ofIsrael; "

"webme","3","9","5","They brought what Moses commanded before the Tent of Meeting: and all thecongregation came near and stood before the LORD."
"webme","3","9","6","Moses said, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded that you shoulddo: and the LORD’s glory shall appear to you.”"
"webme","3","9","7","Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar, and offer your sinoffering, and your burnt offering, and make atonement for yourself, and forthe people; and offer the offering of the people, and make atonement for them;as the LORD commanded.” "
"webme","3","9","8","So Aaron came near to the altar, and killed the calf of the sin offering,which was for himself. "
"webme","3","9","9","The sons of Aaron presented the blood to him; and he dipped his finger inthe blood, and put it on the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood atthe base of the altar: "

"webme","3","9","11","The flesh and the skin he burned with fire outside the camp."
"webme","3","9","12","He killed the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons delivered the blood tohim, and he sprinkled it around on the altar."
"webme","3","9","13","They delivered the burnt offering to him, piece by piece, and the head:and he burned them upon the altar. "
"webme","3","9","14","He washed the innards and the legs, and burned them on the burntoffering on the altar. "
"webme","3","9","15","He presented the people’s offering, and took the goat of the sinoffering which was for the people, and killed it, and offered it for sin, likethe first. "
"webme","3","9","16","He presented the burnt offering, and offered it according to theordinance. "
"webme","3","9","17","He presented the meal offering, and filled his hand from there, andburned it upon the altar, besides the burnt offering of the morning."
"webme","3","9","18","He also killed the bull and the ram, the sacrifice of peace offerings,which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons delivered to him the blood, whichhe sprinkled around on the altar, "

"webme","3","9","22","Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people, and blessed them; and hecame down from offering the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and thepeace offerings. "
"webme","3","9","23","Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and came out, and blessedthe people: and the LORD’s glory appeared to all the people."
"webme","3","9","24","Fire came out from before the LORD, and consumed the burnt offering andthe fat upon the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted, and fell ontheir faces. "
"webme","3","10","1","Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire init, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which hehad not commanded them. "
"webme","3","10","2","Fire came out from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they diedbefore the LORD. "
"webme","3","10","3","Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying,‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me,and before all the people I will be glorified.’”"
"webme","3","10","4","Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron,and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuaryout of the camp.” "

"webme","5","1","22","You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let us send men beforeus, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the wayby which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”"
"webme","5","1","23","The thing pleased me well. I took twelve men of you, one man for everytribe. "
"webme","5","1","24","They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley ofEshcol, and spied it out. "
"webme","5","1","25","They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought itdown to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which theLORD our God gives to us.” "
"webme","5","1","26","Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORDyour God. "
"webme","5","1","27","You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because the LORD hated us, he hasbrought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of theAmorites, to destroy us. "
"webme","5","1","28","Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying,‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortifiedup to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”"
"webme","5","1","29","Then I said to you, “Don’t dread, neither be afraid of them."
"webme","5","1","30","The LORD your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, accordingto all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes,"
"webme","5","1","31","and in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your Godbore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until youcame to this place.” "
"webme","5","1","32","Yet in this thing you didn’t believe the LORD your God,"
"webme","5","1","33","who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitchyour tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and inthe cloud by day. "
"webme","5","1","34","The LORD heard the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore,saying, "
"webme","5","1","35","“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the goodland, which I swore to give to your fathers,"
"webme","5","1","36","except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the landthat he has trodden on to him, and to his children, because he has whollyfollowed the LORD.” "
"webme","5","1","37","Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shallnot go in there. "
"webme","5","1","38","Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there.Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it."
"webme","5","1","39","Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be captured or killed,and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall goin there, and I will give it to, and they shall possess it."
"webme","5","1","40","But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by theway to the Sea of Suf.” "
"webme","5","1","41","Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against the LORD, wewill go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.”Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into thehill country. "
"webme","5","1","42","The LORD said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up, neither fight; for I amnot among you; lest you be struck before your enemies.’”"
"webme","5","1","43","So I spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against thecommandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hillcountry. "
"webme","5","1","44","The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you, andchased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah."
"webme","5","1","45","You returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD didn’t listen toyour voice, nor turn his ear to you. "
"webme","5","1","46","So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that youremained. "
"webme","5","2","1","Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way tothe Sea of Suf, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir manydays. "
"webme","5","2","2","The LORD spoke to me, saying, "
"webme","5","2","3","“You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward."
"webme","5","2","4","Command the people, saying, ‘You are to pass through the border of yourbrothers the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid ofyou. Therefore be careful. "
"webme","5","2","5","Don’t contend with them; for I will not give you any of their land, no,not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have givenMount Seir to Esau for a possession. "
"webme","5","2","6","You shall purchase food from them for money, that you may eat. You shallalso buy water from them for money, that you may drink.’”"
"webme","5","2","7","For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. Hehas known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years, theLORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing."
"webme","5","2","8","So we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, who dwell inSeir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber. We turnedand passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab."
"webme","5","2","9","The LORD said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them inbattle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession; because Ihave given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”"
"webme","5","2","10","(The Emim lived therein before, a people great, and many, and tall, asthe Anakim. "
"webme","5","2","11","These also are considered to be Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabitescall them Emim. "
"webme","5","2","12","The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the children of Esausucceeded them. They destroyed them from before them, and lived in theirplace; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave tothem.) "
"webme","5","2","13","“Now rise up, and cross over the brook Zered.” We went over the brookZered. "
"webme","5","2","14","The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over thebrook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men ofwar were consumed from the middle of the camp, as the LORD swore to them."
"webme","5","2","15","Moreover the LORD’s hand was against them, to destroy them from themiddle of the camp, until they were consumed."
"webme","5","2","16","So, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among thepeople, "
"webme","5","2","17","the LORD spoke to me, saying, "
"webme","5","2","18","“You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today."
"webme","5","2","19","When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, don’t botherthem, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of thechildren of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children ofLot for a possession.” "
"webme","5","2","20","(That also is considered a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived there before;but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim, "
"webme","5","2","21","a great people, many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyedthem before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;"
"webme","5","2","22","as he did for the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyedthe Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in theirplace even to this day: "
"webme","5","2","23","and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, whocame out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)"
"webme","5","2","24","“Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon:behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, andhis land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle."
"webme","5","2","25","Today I will begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on thepeoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, andshall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.”"
"webme","5","2","26","I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king ofHeshbon with words of peace, saying, "
"webme","5","2","27","“Let me pass through your land. I will go along by the highway, I willturn neither to the right hand nor to the left."
"webme","5","2","28","You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water formoney, that I may drink. Just let me pass through on my feet,"
"webme","5","2","29","as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell inAr, did to me; until I pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD ourGod gives us.” "
"webme","5","2","30","But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORDyour God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he mightdeliver him into your hand, as it is today."
"webme","5","2","31","The LORD said to me, “Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and hisland before you. Begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.”"
"webme","5","2","32","Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle atJahaz. "
"webme","5","2","33","The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, hissons, and all his people. "
"webme","5","2","34","We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed everyinhabited city, with the women and the little ones. We left no one remaining."
"webme","5","2","35","Only the livestock we took for plunder for ourselves, with the plunderof the cities which we had taken. "
"webme","5","2","36","From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and thecity that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high forus. the LORD our God delivered up all before us."
"webme","5","2","37","Only to the land of the children of Ammon you didn’t come near; all thebanks of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and whereverthe LORD our God forbade us. "
"webme","5","3","1","Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. Og the king of Bashan cameout against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei."
"webme","5","3","2","The LORD said to me, “Don’t fear him; for I have delivered him, with allhis people, and his land, into your hand. You shall do to him as you did toSihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”"
"webme","5","3","3","So the LORD our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan,and all his people. We struck him until no one was left to him remaining."
"webme","5","3","4","We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we didn’ttake from them; sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og inBashan. "
"webme","5","3","5","All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besidesa great many villages without walls. "
"webme","5","3","6","We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterlydestroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones."
"webme","5","3","7","But all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities, we took for plunderfor ourselves. "
"webme","5","3","8","We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of theAmorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to MountHermon. "
"webme","5","3","9","(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)"
"webme","5","3","10","We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, toSalecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan."
"webme","5","3","11","(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim.Behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of thechildren of Ammon?

"
"webme","5","3","12","This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is bythe valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead, and its cities,gave I to the Reubenites and to the Gadites:"
"webme","5","3","13","and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I to thehalf-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same iscalled the land of Rephaim. "
"webme","5","3","14","Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border ofthe Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after hisown name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.) "
"webme","5","3","15","I gave Gilead to Machir. "
"webme","5","3","16","To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to thevalley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to theriver Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;"
"webme","5","3","17","the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even tothe sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward."
"webme","5","3","18","I commanded you at that time, saying, “The LORD your God has given youthis land to possess it. You shall pass over armed before your brothers thechildren of Israel, all the men of valor."
"webme","5","3","19","But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know thatyou have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,"
"webme","5","3","20","until the LORD gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they alsopossess the land which the LORD your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Thenyou shall each return to his own possession, which I have given you.”"
"webme","5","3","21","I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all thatthe LORD your God has done to these two kings. So shall the LORD do to all thekingdoms where you go over. "
"webme","5","3","22","You shall not fear them; for the LORD your God himself fights for you.”"
"webme","5","3","23","I begged the LORD at that time, saying,"
"webme","5","3","24","“Lord + The word translated “Lord” (mixed case) is“Adonai.” the LORD, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, andyour strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or in earth that can doworks like yours, and mighty acts like yours?"

"webme","5","3","26","But the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and didn’t listen to me.the LORD said to me, “Let this satisfy you. Speak no more to me of thismatter. "
"webme","5","3","27","Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, andnorthward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shallnot go over this Jordan. "
"webme","5","3","28","But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for heshall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the landwhich you shall see.” "
"webme","5","3","29","So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor."
"webme","5","4","1","Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teachyou, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which theLORD, the God of your fathers, gives you."
"webme","5","4","2","You shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall you takeaway from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which Icommand you. "
"webme","5","4","3","Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal Peor; for all themen who followed Baal Peor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from amongyou. "
"webme","5","4","4","But you who were faithful to the LORD your God are all alive today."
"webme","5","4","5","Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD myGod commanded me, that you should do so in the middle of the land where you goin to possess it. "
"webme","5","4","6","Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and yourunderstanding in the sight of the peoples, who shall hear all these statutes,and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”"
"webme","5","4","7","For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as theLORD our God is whenever we call on him?"
"webme","5","4","8","What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteousas all this law, which I set before you today?"
"webme","5","4","9","Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget thethings which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the daysof your life; but make them known to your children and your children’schildren; "
"webme","5","4","10","the day that you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORDsaid to me, “Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words,that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, andthat they may teach their children.” "
"webme","5","4","11","You came near and stood under the mountain. The mountain burned withfire to the heart of the sky, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness."
"webme","5","4","12","The LORD spoke to you out of the middle of the fire: you heard the voiceof words, but you saw no form; you only heard a voice."
"webme","5","4","13","He declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, eventhe ten commandments. He wrote them on two stone tablets."
"webme","5","4","14","The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances,that you might do them in the land where you go over to possess it."
"webme","5","4","15","Be very careful, for you saw no kind of form on the day that the LORDspoke to you in Horeb out of the middle of the fire,"
"webme","5","4","16","lest you corrupt yourselves, and make yourself an engraved image in theform of any figure, the likeness of male or female,"

"webme","5","4","20","But the LORD has taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, outof Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as it is today."
"webme","5","4","21","Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that Ishould not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land,which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance;"
"webme","5","4","22","but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan; but youshall go over, and possess that good land."
"webme","5","4","23","Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which hemade with you, and make yourselves an engraved image in the form of anythingwhich the LORD your God has forbidden you."
"webme","5","4","24","For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God."
"webme","5","4","25","When you shall father children, and children’s children, and you shallhave been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make an engravedimage in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in the LORDyour God’s sight, to provoke him to anger;"
"webme","5","4","26","I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soonutterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it.You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed."
"webme","5","4","27","The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few innumber among the nations, where the LORD will lead you away."
"webme","5","4","28","There you shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone,which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell."
"webme","5","4","29","But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you shall find him,when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul."
"webme","5","4","30","When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, inthe latter days you shall return to the LORD your God, and listen to hisvoice. "
"webme","5","4","31","For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you, neitherdestroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them."
"webme","5","4","32","For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since theday that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to theother, whether there has been anything as this great thing is, or has beenheard like it? "
"webme","5","4","33","Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the middle ofthe fire, as you have heard, and live? "
"webme","5","4","34","Or has God tried to go and take a nation for himself from among anothernation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by anoutstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD yourGod did for you in Egypt before your eyes?"
"webme","5","4","35","It was shown to you so that you might know that the LORD is God. Thereis no one else besides him. "
"webme","5","4","36","Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you.On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of themiddle of the fire. "
"webme","5","4","37","Because he loved your fathers, therefore he chose theiroffspring + or, seed after them, and brought you out with his presence,with his great power, out of Egypt; "
"webme","5","4","38","to drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you, tobring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today."
"webme","5","4","39","Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that the LORD himself is Godin heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one else."

"webme","5","4","41","Then Moses set apart three cities beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise;"

"webme","5","9","8","Also in Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was angry withyou to destroy you. "
"webme","5","9","9","When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, eventhe tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on themountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water."
"webme","5","9","10","The LORD delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’sfinger. On them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on themountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly."
"webme","5","9","11","It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORDgave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant."
"webme","5","9","12","The LORD said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your peoplewhom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They havequickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them. They have made amolten image for themselves!” "
"webme","5","9","13","Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, andbehold, it is a stiff-necked people. "
"webme","5","9","14","Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name fromunder the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater thanthey.” "
"webme","5","9","15","So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain wasburning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands."
"webme","5","9","16","I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You hadmade yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly out of the waywhich the LORD had commanded you. "
"webme","5","9","17","I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, andbroke them before your eyes. "
"webme","5","9","18","I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and fortynights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which yousinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him toanger. "
"webme","5","9","19","For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORDwas angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that timealso. "
"webme","5","9","20","The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaronalso at the same time. "
"webme","5","9","21","I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire,and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threwits dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain."
"webme","5","9","22","At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked theLORD to wrath. "
"webme","5","9","23","When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possessthe land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of theLORD your God, and you didn’t believe him, nor listen to his voice."
"webme","5","9","24","You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you."
"webme","5","9","25","So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that Ifell down, because the LORD had said he would destroy you."
"webme","5","9","26","I prayed to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, don’t destroy your people andyour inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you havebrought out of Egypt with a mighty hand."
"webme","5","9","27","Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at thestubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,"
"webme","5","9","28","lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was notable to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because hehated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’"
"webme","5","9","29","Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out byyour great power and by your outstretched arm.”"
"webme","5","10","1","At that time the LORD said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first,and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood."
"webme","5","10","2","I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables whichyou broke, and you shall put them in the ark.”"
"webme","5","10","3","So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like thefirst, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand."
"webme","5","10","4","He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the tencommandments, which the LORD spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle ofthe fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me."
"webme","5","10","5","I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the arkwhich I had made; and there they are as the LORD commanded me."
"webme","5","10","6","(The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah.There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered inthe priest’s office in his place. "
"webme","5","10","7","From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, aland of brooks of water. "
"webme","5","10","8","At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of theLORD’s covenant, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless inhis name, to this day. "

"webme","5","31","17","Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I willforsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured,and many evils and troubles shall come on them; so that they will say in thatday, ‘Haven’t these evils come on us because our God is not among us?’"
"webme","5","31","18","I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they havedone, in that they have turned to other gods."
"webme","5","31","19","“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to thechildren of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witnessfor me against the children of Israel. "
"webme","5","31","20","For when I have brought them into the land which I swore to theirfathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filledthemselves, and grown fat; then they will turn to other gods, and serve them,and despise me, and break my covenant. "
"webme","5","31","21","It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, thatthis song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgottenout of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what theyare doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.”"

"webme","5","31","28","Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that Imay speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witnessagainst them. "

"webme","5","32","12","The LORD alone led him. There was no foreign god with him. "
"webme","5","32","13","He made him ride on the high places of the earth.He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock,oil out of the flinty rock; "

"webme","5","32","15","But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked.You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he abandoned God who made him, and rejected the Rock of his salvation."
"webme","5","32","16","They moved him to jealousy with strange gods.They provoked him to anger with abominations."
"webme","5","32","17","They sacrificed to demons, not God,to gods that they didn’t know, to new gods that came up recently, which your fathers didn’t dread. "
"webme","5","32","18","Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful,and have forgotten God who gave you birth."
"webme","5","32","19","The LORD saw and abhorred, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters."
"webme","5","32","20","He said, “I will hide my face from them.I will see what their end will be; for they are a very perverse generation,children in whom is no faithfulness."
"webme","5","32","21","They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God.They have provoked me to anger with their vanities.I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people.I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation."

"webme","5","32","30","How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight,unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had delivered them up?"
"webme","5","32","31","For their rock is not as our Rock,even our enemies themselves concede."
"webme","5","32","32","For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poison grapes. Their clusters are bitter. "

"webme","6","3","17","The priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant stood firm on dryground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground,until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan."
"webme","6","4","1","When all the nation had completely crossed over the Jordan, the LORDspoke to Joshua, saying, "
"webme","6","4","2","“Take twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe,"
"webme","6","4","3","and command them, saying, ‘Take from out of the middle of the Jordan, outof the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry themover with you, and lay them down in the place where you’ll camp tonight.’”"
"webme","6","4","4","Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the childrenof Israel, a man out of every tribe. "
"webme","6","4","5","Joshua said to them, “Cross before the ark of the LORD your God into themiddle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a stone and put it on yourshoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;"
"webme","6","4","6","that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in thefuture, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’"
"webme","6","4","7","then you shall tell them, ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were cut offbefore the ark of the LORD’s covenant. When it crossed over the Jordan, thewaters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to thechildren of Israel forever.’” "
"webme","6","4","8","The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stonesout of the middle of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to thenumber of the tribes of the children of Israel. They carried them over withthem to the place where they camped, and laid them down there."
"webme","6","4","9","Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the placewhere the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and theyare there to this day. "
"webme","6","4","10","For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan,until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to thepeople, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurriedand passed over. "
"webme","6","4","11","When all the people had completely crossed over, the LORD’s ark crossedover, with the priests, in the presence of the people."
"webme","6","4","12","The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe ofManasseh, crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke tothem. "
"webme","6","4","13","About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed over before theLORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho."
"webme","6","4","14","On that day, the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; andthey feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life."
"webme","6","4","15","The LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,"
"webme","6","4","16","“Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they comeup out of the Jordan.” "
"webme","6","4","17","Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of theJordan!” "
"webme","6","4","18","When the priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant had come up outof the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet had beenlifted up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place,and went over all its banks, as before."
"webme","6","4","19","The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the firstmonth, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho."
"webme","6","4","20","Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, inGilgal. "
"webme","6","4","21","He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, “When your children asktheir fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’"
"webme","6","4","22","Then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel came over thisJordan on dry land. "
"webme","6","4","23","For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you,until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Sea of Suf, whichhe dried up from before us, until we had crossed over;"
"webme","6","4","24","that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD’s hand ismighty; that you may fear the LORD your God forever.’”"
"webme","6","5","1","When all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward,and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how the LORDhad dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel,until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit inthem, because of the children of Israel."
"webme","6","5","2","At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumciseagain the sons of Israel the second time.”"
"webme","6","5","3","Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel atthe hill of the foreskins. "
"webme","6","5","4","This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came outof Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wildernessalong the way, after they came out of Egypt."
"webme","6","5","5","For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people whowere born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had notbeen circumcised. "
"webme","6","5","6","For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, untilall the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed,because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that hewouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that hewould give us, a land flowing with milk and honey."
"webme","6","5","7","Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised byJoshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them onthe way. "
"webme","6","5","8","When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in theirplaces in the camp until they were healed."
"webme","6","5","9","The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egyptoff of you.” Therefore the name of that place was calledGilgal, + “Gilgal” sounds like the Hebrew for“roll.” to this day. "
"webme","6","5","10","The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on thefourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho."
"webme","6","5","11","They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the landon the next day after the Passover, in the same day."
"webme","6","5","12","The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce ofthe land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more; but they ate ofthe fruit of the land of Canaan that year."
"webme","6","5","13","When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, andbehold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshuawent to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our enemies?”"
"webme","6","5","14","He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of the LORD’s army.”does my lord say to his servant?” "
"webme","6","5","15","The prince of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off ofyour feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so."
"webme","6","6","1","Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No onewent out, and no one came in. "
"webme","6","6","2","The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand,with its king and the mighty men of valor."
"webme","6","6","3","All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the cityonce. You shall do this six days. "
"webme","6","6","4","Seven priests shall bear seven shofars + or,trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall marcharound the city seven times, and the priests shall blow theshofars + or, trumpets. "
"webme","6","6","5","It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, andwhen you hear the sound of the shofar + or,trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the city wallshall fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in frontof him.” "
"webme","6","6","6","Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up theark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear sevenshofars + or, trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”"
"webme","6","6","7","They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let thearmed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”"
"webme","6","6","8","It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priestsbearing the seven shofars + or, trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORDadvanced and blew the shofars + or, trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’scovenant followed them. "
"webme","6","6","9","The armed men went before the priests who blew theshofars + or, trumpets, and the ark went after them. Theshofars + or, trumpets sounded as they went."
"webme","6","6","10","Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout, nor let yourvoice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until theday I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”"
"webme","6","6","11","So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, going about it once.Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp."
"webme","6","6","12","Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’sark. "
"webme","6","6","13","The seven priests bearing the sevenshofars + or, trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went oncontinually, and blew the shofars + or,trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came afterthe LORD’s ark. The shofars + or, trumpets sounded as they went."
"webme","6","6","14","The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into thecamp. They did this six days. "
"webme","6","6","15","On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, andmarched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day theymarched around the city seven times. "
"webme","6","6","16","At the seventh time, when the priests blew theshofars + or, trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORDhas given you the city! "
"webme","6","6","17","The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD.Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in thehouse, because she hid the messengers that we sent."
"webme","6","6","18","But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted todestruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; soyou would make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it."
"webme","6","6","19","But all the silver, gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to theLORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”"
"webme","6","6","20","So the people shouted and the priests blew theshofars + or, trumpets. When the people heard the sound of theshofar + or, trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wallfell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straightin front of him, and they took the city."
"webme","6","6","21","They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman,both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword."
"webme","6","6","22","Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into theprostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there,as you swore to her.” "
"webme","6","6","23","The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with herfather, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought outall of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel."
"webme","6","6","24","They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they putthe silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron into the treasuryof the LORD’s house. "
"webme","6","6","25","But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had,Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because shehid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho."
"webme","6","6","26","Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is theman before the LORD, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the lossof his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngestson he will set up its gates.” "
"webme","6","6","27","So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land."
"webme","6","7","1","But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things;for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribeof Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore the LORD’s anger burnedagainst the children of Israel. "
"webme","6","7","2","Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on theeast side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land.”"
"webme","6","7","3","They returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Don’t let all the people goup; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don’t makeall the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.”"
"webme","6","7","4","So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fledbefore the men of Ai. "
"webme","6","7","5","The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, and they chased themfrom before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. Thehearts of the people melted, and became like water."
"webme","6","7","6","Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before theLORD’s ark until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put duston their heads. "
"webme","6","7","7","Joshua said, “Alas, Lord GOD, why have you brought this people over theJordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us toperish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!"
"webme","6","7","8","Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after Israel has turned their backs beforetheir enemies! "
"webme","6","7","9","For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it,and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you dofor your great name?” "
"webme","6","7","10","The LORD said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face likethat? "
"webme","6","7","11","Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which Icommanded them. Yes, they have even taken some of the devoted things, and havealso stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff."
"webme","6","7","12","Therefore the children of Israel can’t stand before their enemies. Theyturn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted fordestruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devotedthings from among you. "
"webme","6","7","13","“Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves fortomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thingamong you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take awaythe devoted thing from among you.” "
"webme","6","7","14","“‘In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. Itshall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families.The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The householdwhich the LORD selects shall come near man by man."
"webme","6","7","15","It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnedwith fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the LORD’scovenant, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”"
"webme","6","7","16","So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by theirtribes. The tribe of Judah was selected."
"webme","6","7","17","He brought near the family of Judah; and he selected the family of theZerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdiwas selected. "
"webme","6","7","18","He brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi,the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected."
"webme","6","7","19","Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to the LORD, the God ofIsrael, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Don’t hideit from me!” "
"webme","6","7","20","Achan answered Joshua, and said, “I have truly sinned against the LORD,the God of Israel, and this is what I have done."
"webme","6","7","21","When I saw among the plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundredshekels + a shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35ounces of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then Icoveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in themiddle of my tent, with the silver under it.”"
"webme","6","7","22","So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it washidden in his tent, with the silver under it."
"webme","6","7","23","They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshuaand to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before the LORD."
"webme","6","7","24","Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, thesilver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, hisdonkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up tothe valley of Achor. "
"webme","6","7","25","Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? the LORD will trouble youtoday.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire andstoned them with stones. "
"webme","6","7","26","They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day.The LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of thatplace was called “The valley of Achor” to this day."
"webme","6","8","1","The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed. Takeall the warriors with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given intoyour hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land."
"webme","6","8","2","You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king,except you shall take its goods and its livestock for yourselves. Set anambush for the city behind it.” "
"webme","6","8","3","So Joshua arose, with all the warriors, to go up to Ai. Joshua chosethirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night."
"webme","6","8","4","He commanded them, saying, “Behold, you shall lie in ambush against thecity, behind the city. Don’t go very far from the city, but all of you beready. "
"webme","6","8","5","I and all the people who are with me will approach to the city. It shallhappen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will fleebefore them. "
"webme","6","8","6","They will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city;for they will say, ‘They flee before us, like the first time.’ So we will fleebefore them, "
"webme","6","8","7","and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city;for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand."
"webme","6","8","8","It shall be, when you have seized the city, that you shall set the cityon fire. You shall do this according to the LORD’s word. Behold, I havecommanded you.” "
"webme","6","8","9","Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayedbetween Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among thepeople that night. "
"webme","6","8","10","Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up,he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai."
"webme","6","8","11","All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and camenear, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai. Nowthere was a valley between him and Ai. "
"webme","6","8","12","He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Betheland Ai, on the west side of the city. "
"webme","6","8","13","So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of thecity, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that nightinto the middle of the valley. "
"webme","6","8","14","When the king of Ai saw it, they hurried and rose up early, and the menof the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at thetime appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn’t know that there was an ambushagainst him behind the city. "
"webme","6","8","15","Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fledby the way of the wilderness. "
"webme","6","8","16","All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue afterthem. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city."
"webme","6","8","17","There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El who didn’t go out afterIsrael. They left the city open, and pursued Israel."
"webme","6","8","18","The LORD said to Joshua, “Stretch out the javelin that is in your handtoward Ai, for I will give it into your hand.”"
"webme","6","8","19","The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as hehad stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it. Theyhurried and set the city on fire. "
"webme","6","8","20","When the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smokeof the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way orthat way. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers."
"webme","6","8","21","When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, andthat the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed themen of Ai. "
"webme","6","8","22","The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the middleof Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so thatthey let none of them remain or escape."
"webme","6","8","23","They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua."
"webme","6","8","24","When Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field,in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they had all fallen by theedge of the sword, until they were consumed, all Israel returned to Ai, andstruck it with the edge of the sword. "
"webme","6","8","25","All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand,even all the men of Ai. "
"webme","6","8","26","For Joshua didn’t draw back his hand, with which he stretched out thejavelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai."
"webme","6","8","27","Israel took for themselves only the livestock and the goods of that city, according to the LORD’s word which he commanded Joshua."
"webme","6","8","28","So Joshua burned Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, tothis day. "
"webme","6","8","29","He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at sundownJoshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it atthe entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on itthat remains to this day. "
"webme","6","8","30","Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on MountEbal, "
"webme","6","8","31","as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as itis written in the scroll of the Torah of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, onwhich no one had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to theLORD and sacrificed peace offerings. "
"webme","6","8","32","He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in thepresence of the children of Israel. "
"webme","6","8","33","All Israel, their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on bothsides of the ark before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of theLORD’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front ofMount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servantof the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people ofIsrael.

"webme","6","8","34","Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse,according to all that is written in the scroll of the Torah."
"webme","6","8","35","There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn’tread before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, andthe foreigners who were among them. "

"webme","6","9","3","But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jerichoand to Ai, "

"webme","9","1","5","but to Hannah he gave a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the LORDhad shut up her womb. "
"webme","9","1","6","Her rival provoked her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD hadshut up her womb. "
"webme","9","1","7","As he did so year by year, when she went up to the LORD’s house. Herrival provoked her; therefore she wept, and didn’t eat."
"webme","9","1","8","Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? Why don’t youeat? Why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”"
"webme","9","1","9","So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh.Now Eli the priest was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the LORD’stemple. "
"webme","9","1","10","She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD, weeping bitterly."
"webme","9","1","11","She vowed a vow, and said, “The LORD of Hosts, if you will indeed lookat the affliction of your servant, and remember me, and not forget yourservant, but will give to your servant a boy, then I will give him to the LORDall the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head.”"
"webme","9","1","12","As she continued praying before the LORD, Eli saw her mouth."
"webme","9","1","13","Now Hannah spoke in her heart. Only her lips moved, but her voice wasnot heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk."
"webme","9","1","14","Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Get rid of your wine!”"
"webme","9","1","15","Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. Ihave not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul beforethe LORD. "
"webme","9","1","16","Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking outof the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”"
"webme","9","1","17","Then Eli answered, “Go in peace; and may theGod + The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “?????????”(Elohim). of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of him.”"
"webme","9","1","18","She said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman wenther way, and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more."
"webme","9","1","19","They rose up in the morning early, and worshiped before the LORD, andreturned, and came to their house to Ramah. Then Elkanah knew Hannah his wife;and the LORD remembered her. "
"webme","9","1","20","When the time had come, Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she namedhim Samuel, + Samuel sounds like the Hebrew for “heard byGod.” saying, “Because I have asked him of the LORD.”"
"webme","9","1","21","The man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer to the LORD theyearly sacrifice, and his vow. "
"webme","9","1","22","But Hannah didn’t go up; for she said to her husband, “Not until thechild is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD,and stay there forever.” "
"webme","9","1","23","Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems good to you. Wait untilyou have weaned him; only may the LORD establish his word.”"
"webme","9","1","24","When she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, andone efah + 1 efah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of abushel of meal, and a bottle of wine, and brought him to the LORD’s housein Shiloh. The child was young. "
"webme","9","1","25","They killed the bull, and brought the child to Eli."
"webme","9","1","26","She said, “Oh, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman whostood by you here, praying to the LORD."
"webme","9","1","27","I prayed for this child; and the LORD has given me my petition which Iasked of him. "
"webme","9","1","28","Therefore I have also given him to the LORD. As long as he lives he isgiven to the LORD.” He worshiped the LORD there."
"webme","9","2","1","Hannah prayed, and said: “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies,because I rejoice in your salvation."
"webme","9","2","2","There is no one as holy as the LORD,For there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God."
"webme","9","2","3","“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly.Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth,For the LORD is a God of knowledge.By him actions are weighed. "
"webme","9","2","4","“The bows of the mighty men are broken.Those who stumbled are armed with strength."
"webme","9","2","5","Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread.Those who were hungry are satisfied.Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes."
"webme","9","2","6","“The LORD kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, + Sheol is the place of thedead. and brings up. "
"webme","9","2","7","The LORD makes poor, and makes rich.He brings low, he also lifts up. "
"webme","9","2","8","He raises up the poor out of the dust.He lifts up the needy from the dunghill,To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s.He has set the world on them. "
"webme","9","2","9","He will keep the feet of his holy ones,but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness;for no man shall prevail by strength."
"webme","9","2","10","Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces.He will thunder against them in the sky.“The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”"
"webme","9","2","11","Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child served the LORD before Elithe priest. "
"webme","9","2","12","Now the sons of Eli were wicked men. They didn’t know the LORD."
"webme","9","2","13","The custom of the priests with the people was that when anyone offered asacrifice, the priest’s servant came while the flesh was boiling, with a forkof three teeth in his hand; "
"webme","9","2","14","and he stabbed it into the pan, or kettle, or cauldron, or pot. Thepriest took all that the fork brought up for himself. So they did in Shiloh toall the Israelites who came there. "
"webme","9","2","15","Yes, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant came, and said tothe man who sacrificed, “Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will notaccept boiled meat from you, but raw.” "
"webme","9","2","16","If the man said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take asmuch as your soul desires”; then he would say, “No, but you shall give it tome now; and if not, I will take it by force.”"
"webme","9","2","17","The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD; for the mendespised the offering of the LORD. "
"webme","9","2","18","But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, clothed with alinen ephod. "
"webme","9","2","19","Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him fromyear to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice."
"webme","9","2","20","Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, “May The LORD give youoffspring + or, seed from this woman for the petition which was asked ofthe LORD.” Then they went to their own home."
"webme","9","2","21","The LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and twodaughters. The child Samuel grew before the LORD."
"webme","9","2","22","Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel,and how that they slept with the women who served at the door of the Tent ofMeeting. "
"webme","9","2","23","He said to them, “Why do you do such things? for I hear of your evildealings from all this people. "
"webme","9","2","24","No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear! You make the LORD’speople disobey. "
"webme","9","2","25","If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sinsagainst the LORD, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’tlisten to the voice of their father, because the LORD intended to kill them."
"webme","9","2","26","The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with the LORD, andalso with men. "
"webme","9","2","27","A man of God came to Eli, and said to him, “the LORD says, ‘Did I revealmyself to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in bondage toPharaoh’s house? "
"webme","9","2","28","Didn’t I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, togo up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? Didn’t I giveto the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel madeby fire? "
"webme","9","2","29","Why do you + plural kick at my sacrifice and at my offering, whichI have commanded in my habitation, and honor your sons above me, to makeyourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel my people?’"
"webme","9","2","30","“Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that yourhouse, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.’ But nowthe LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, andthose who despise me will be lightly esteemed."
"webme","9","2","31","Behold, + “Behold”, from “??????”, means look at, take notice,observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as aninterjection. the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm ofyour father’s house, that there will not be an old man in your house."
"webme","9","2","32","You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which Iwill give Israel; and there shall not be an old man in your house forever."
"webme","9","2","33","The man of yours, whom I don’t cut off from my altar, will consume youreyes + or, blind your eyes with tears and grieve your heart; and all theincrease of your house will die in the flower of their age."
"webme","9","2","34","“‘This will be the sign to you, that will come on your two sons, onHophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die."

"webme","9","3","1","The child Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. the LORD’s word wasprecious in those days. There visions were not frequent."
"webme","9","3","2","At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place (now his eyes had begunto grow dim, so that he could not see),"
"webme","9","3","3","and God’s lamp hadn’t yet gone out, and Samuel had laid down in theLORD’s temple, where God’s ark was; "
"webme","9","3","4","the LORD called Samuel; and he said, “Here I am.”"
"webme","9","3","5","He ran to Eli, and said, “Here I am; for you called me.”"
"webme","9","3","6","The LORD called yet again, “Samuel!”"
"webme","9","3","7","Now Samuel didn’t yet know the LORD, neither was the LORD’s word yetrevealed to him. "
"webme","9","3","8","The LORD called Samuel again the third time. He arose and went to Eli,and said, “Here I am; for you called me.”"
"webme","9","3","9","Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down. It shall be, if he callsyou, that you shall say, ‘Speak, the LORD; for your servant hears.’” So Samuelwent and lay down in his place. "
"webme","9","3","10","The LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel!Samuel!” "
"webme","9","3","11","The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at whichboth the ears of everyone who hears it will tingle."
"webme","9","3","12","In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerninghis house, from the beginning even to the end."
"webme","9","3","13","For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for theiniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves, and hedidn’t restrain them. "
"webme","9","3","14","Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’shouse shall not be removed with sacrifice or offering forever.”"
"webme","9","3","15","Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house.Samuel feared to show Eli the vision. "
"webme","9","3","16","Then Eli called Samuel, and said, “Samuel, my son!”"
"webme","9","3","17","He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please don’t hideit from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me ofall the things that he spoke to you.” "
"webme","9","3","18","Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him."
"webme","9","3","19","Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and let none of his words fallto the ground. "
"webme","9","3","20","All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was establishedto be a prophet of the LORD. "
"webme","9","3","21","The LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself toSamuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word. "
"webme","9","4","1","The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against thePhilistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistinesencamped in Aphek. "
"webme","9","4","2","The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joinedbattle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousandmen of the army in the field. "
"webme","9","4","3","When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Whyhas the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark ofthe LORD’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come amongus, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”"
"webme","9","4","4","So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from there the ark of thecovenant of the LORD of Hosts, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sonsof Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God."
"webme","9","4","5","When the ark of the LORD’s covenant came into the camp, all Israelshouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again."
"webme","9","4","6","When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What doesthe noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” Theyunderstood that the LORD’s ark had come into the camp."
"webme","9","4","7","The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.”They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before."
"webme","9","4","8","Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods?These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in thewilderness. "
"webme","9","4","9","Be strong, and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not beservants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves likemen, and fight!” "
"webme","9","4","10","The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled tohis tent. There was a very great slaughter; for thirty thousand footmen ofIsrael fell. "
"webme","9","4","11","God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, wereslain. "
"webme","9","4","12","A man of Benjamin ran out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day,with his clothes torn, and with dirt on his head."
"webme","9","4","13","When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching;for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and toldabout it, all the city cried out. "
"webme","9","4","14","When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise ofthis tumult mean?” "
"webme","9","4","15","Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he couldnot see. "
"webme","9","4","16","The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled todayout of the army.” "
"webme","9","4","17","He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before thePhilistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Yourtwo sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has beencaptured.” "
"webme","9","4","18","When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backwardby the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an oldman, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years."
"webme","9","4","19","His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to bedelivered. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken, and that herfather-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; forher pains came on her. "
"webme","9","4","20","About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her,“Don’t be afraid; for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer,neither did she regard it. "

"webme","9","5","1","Now the Philistines had taken God’s ark, and they brought it fromEbenezer to Ashdod. "
"webme","9","5","2","The Philistines took God’s ark, and brought it into the house of Dagon,and set it by Dagon. "

"webme","9","8","14","He will take your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, eventheir best, and give them to his servants."
"webme","9","8","15","He will take one tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give itto his officers, and to his servants. "
"webme","9","8","16","He will take your male servants, your female servants, your best youngmen, and your donkeys, and assign them to his own work."
"webme","9","8","17","He will take one tenth of your flocks; and you will be his servants."
"webme","9","8","18","You will cry out in that day because of your king whom you will havechosen for yourselves; and the LORD will not answer you in that day.”"
"webme","9","8","19","But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said,“No; but we will have a king over us, "
"webme","9","8","20","that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judgeus, and go out before us, and fight our battles.”"
"webme","9","8","21","Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in theears of the LORD. "
"webme","9","8","22","The LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king.”"
"webme","9","9","1","Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel,the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of aBenjamite, a mighty man of valor. "
"webme","9","9","2","He had a son, whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there wasnot among the children of Israel a better person than he. From his shouldersand upward he was taller than any of the people."
"webme","9","9","3","The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul his son,“Take now one of the servants with you, and arise, go look for the donkeys.”"
"webme","9","9","4","He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through theland of Shalishah, but they didn’t find them. Then they passed through theland of Shaalim, and there they weren’t there. Then he passed through the landof the Benjamites, but they didn’t find them."
"webme","9","9","5","When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who waswith him, “Come, and let us return, lest my father stop caring about thedonkeys, and be anxious for us.” "
"webme","9","9","6","The servant said to him, “Behold now, there is in this city a man of God,and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says surely happens. Now letus go there. Perhaps he can tell us which way to go.”"
"webme","9","9","7","Then Saul said to his servant, “But, behold, if we go, what should webring the man? For the bread is spent in our sacks, and there is not a presentto bring to the man of God. What do we have?”"
"webme","9","9","8","The servant answered Saul again, and said, “Behold, I have in my hand thefourth part of a shekel + a shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces,so 1/4 shekel would be a small coin of about 2.5grams. of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”"
"webme","9","9","9","(In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said,“Come, and let us go to the seer”; for he who is now called a prophet wasbefore called a seer.) "
"webme","9","9","10","Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said. Come, let us go.” So theywent to the city where the man of God was."
"webme","9","9","11","As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens goingout to draw water, and said to them, “Is the seer here?”"
"webme","9","9","12","They answered them, and said, “He is. Behold, he is before you. Hurrynow, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrificetoday in the high place. "
"webme","9","9","13","As soon as you have come into the city, you will immediately find him,before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat untilhe come, because he blesses the sacrifice. Afterwards those who are invitedeat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you will find him.”"
"webme","9","9","14","They went up to the city. As they came within the city, behold, Samuelcame out toward them, to go up to the high place."
"webme","9","9","15","Now the LORD had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,"
"webme","9","9","16","“Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land ofBenjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He willsave my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon mypeople, because their cry has come to me.”"
"webme","9","9","17","When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, “Behold, the man of whom Ispoke to you! He will have authority over my people.”"
"webme","9","9","18","Then Saul approached Samuel in the gateway, and said, “Please tell mewhere the seer’s house is.” "
"webme","9","9","19","Samuel answered Saul, and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to thehigh place, for you are to eat with me today. In the morning I will let yougo, and will tell you all that is in your heart."
"webme","9","9","20","As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don’t set your mind onthem; for they have been found. For whom is all that is desirable in Israel?Is it not for you, and for all your father’s house?”"
"webme","9","9","21","Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes ofIsrael? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin?Why then do you speak to me like this?”"
"webme","9","9","22","Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the guest room,and made them sit in the best place among those who were invited, who wereabout thirty persons. "
"webme","9","9","23","Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which Isaid to you, ‘Set it aside.’” "
"webme","9","9","24","The cook took up the thigh, and that which was on it, and set it beforeSaul. Samuel said, “Behold, that which has been reserved! Set it beforeyourself and eat; because for the appointed time has it been kept for you, forI said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day."
"webme","9","9","25","When they had come down from the high place into the city, he talkedwith Saul on the housetop. "
"webme","9","9","26","They arose early; and about daybreak, Samuel called to Saul on thehousetop, saying, “Get up, that I may send you away.” Saul arose, and theyboth went outside, he and Samuel, together."
"webme","9","9","27","As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul,“Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.” He went ahead, then Samuel said, “Butstand still first, that I may cause you to hear God’s message.”"
"webme","9","10","1","Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissedhim, and said, “Hasn’t the LORD anointed you to be prince over hisinheritance? "
"webme","9","10","2","When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men byRachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘Thedonkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your fatherhas stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, “Whatshall I do for my son?”’ "
"webme","9","10","3","“Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak ofTabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel, one carryingthree young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and anothercarrying a bottle of wine. "
"webme","9","10","4","They will greet you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shallreceive from their hand. "
"webme","9","10","5","“After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of thePhilistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, thatyou will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute,a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying."
"webme","9","10","6","Then the LORD’s Spirit will come mightily on you, and you will prophesywith them, and will be turned into another man."
"webme","9","10","7","Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what isappropriate for the occasion; for God is with you."
"webme","9","10","8","“Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you, tooffer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Waitseven days, until I come to you, and show you what you are to do.”"
"webme","9","10","9","It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gavehim another heart; and all those signs happened that day."
"webme","9","10","10","When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him;and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them."
"webme","9","10","11","When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with theprophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come tothe son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”"
"webme","9","10","12","One of the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore itbecame a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”"
"webme","9","10","13","When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place."
"webme","9","10","14","Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?”came to Samuel.” "
"webme","9","10","15","Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”"
"webme","9","10","16","Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys werefound.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, hedidn’t tell him. "
"webme","9","10","17","Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;"
"webme","9","10","18","and he said to the children of Israel, “the LORD, the God of Israel,says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand ofthe Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’"
"webme","9","10","19","But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of allyour calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a kingover us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, andby your thousands.” "
"webme","9","10","20","So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe ofBenjamin was chosen. "
"webme","9","10","21","He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the familyof the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but whenthey looked for him, he could not be found."
"webme","9","10","22","Therefore they asked of the LORD further, “Is there yet a man to comehere?” "
"webme","9","10","23","They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he washigher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward."
"webme","9","10","24","Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen,that there is no one like him among all the people?”"
"webme","9","10","25","Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote itin a book, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away,every man to his house. "
"webme","9","10","26","Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and the army went with him, whosehearts God had touched. "
"webme","9","10","27","But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” Theydespised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace."
"webme","9","11","1","Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh Gilead: andall the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we willserve you.” "
"webme","9","11","2","Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it withyou, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor allIsrael.” "
"webme","9","11","3","The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may sendmessengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to saveus, we will come out to you.” "
"webme","9","11","4","Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in theears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice, and wept."
"webme","9","11","5","Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said,“What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men ofJabesh. "
"webme","9","11","6","God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and hisanger burned hot. "
"webme","9","11","7","He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughoutall the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’tcome out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” Thedread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man."
"webme","9","11","8","He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundredthousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand."
"webme","9","11","9","They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead,‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengerscame and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad."
"webme","9","11","10","Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, andyou shall do with us all that seems good to you.”"
"webme","9","11","11","On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they cameinto the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonitesuntil the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no twoof them were left together. "
"webme","9","11","12","The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign overus?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”"
"webme","9","11","13","Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today the LORD hasrescued Israel.” "
"webme","9","11","14","Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal, andrenew the kingdom there.” "
"webme","9","11","15","All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before theLORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before theLORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly."
"webme","9","12","1","Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your voice in allthat you said to me, and have made a king over you."
"webme","9","12","2","Now, behold, the king walks before you. I am old and gray-headed. Behold,my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day."
"webme","9","12","3","Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed.Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I defrauded? Whomhave I oppressed? Of whose hand have I taken a ransom to make me blind myeyes? I will restore it to you.” "
"webme","9","12","4","They said, “You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have youtaken anything from anyone’s hand.” "
"webme","9","12","5","He said to them, “The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed iswitness today, that you have not found anything in my hand.”"
"webme","9","12","6","Samuel said to the people, “It is the LORD who appointed Moses and Aaron,and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt."
"webme","9","12","7","Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORDconcerning all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to yourfathers. "
"webme","9","12","8","“When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the LORD, thenthe LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt, and madethem to dwell in this place. "
"webme","9","12","9","“But they forgot the LORD their God; and he sold them into the hand ofSisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines,and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them."
"webme","9","12","10","They cried to the LORD, and said, ‘We have sinned, because we haveforsaken the LORD, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth: but nowdeliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve you.’"
"webme","9","12","11","The LORD sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered youout of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you lived in safety."
"webme","9","12","12","“When you saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came againstyou, you said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us;’ when the LORD yourGod was your king. "
"webme","9","12","13","Now therefore see the king whom you have chosen, and whom you have askedfor. Behold, the LORD has set a king over you."
"webme","9","12","14","If you will fear the LORD, and serve him, and listen to his voice, andnot rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then both you and also the kingwho reigns over you are followers of the LORD your God."
"webme","9","12","15","But if you will not listen to the LORD’s voice, but rebel against thecommandment of the LORD, then the LORD’s hand will be against you, as it wasagainst your fathers. "
"webme","9","12","16","“Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which the LORD willdo before your eyes. "
"webme","9","12","17","Isn’t it wheat harvest today? I will call to the LORD, that he may sendthunder and rain; and you will know and see that your wickedness is great,which you have done in the LORD’s sight, in asking for a king.”"
"webme","9","12","18","So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain thatday. Then all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel."
"webme","9","12","19","All the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the LORD yourGod, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask fora king.” "
"webme","9","12","20","Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed done allthis evil; yet don’t turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORDwith all your heart. "
"webme","9","12","21","Don’t turn aside to go after vain things which can’t profit or deliver,for they are vain. "
"webme","9","12","22","For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake,because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself."
"webme","9","12","23","Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORDin ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the rightway. "

"webme","9","13","1","Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israelforty-two years. + The traditional Hebrew text omits “thirty“ and “forty-“.The blanks are filled in here from a few manuscripts of theSeptuagint. "
"webme","9","13","2","Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which twothousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and onethousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of thepeople to their own tents. "
"webme","9","13","3","Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba: and thePhilistines heard of it. Saul blew the shofar + or,trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”"

"webme","9","13","5","The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel,thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sandwhich is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash,eastward of Beth Aven. "
"webme","9","13","6","When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people weredistressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks,in tombs, and in pits. "
"webme","9","13","7","Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad andGilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed himtrembling. "
"webme","9","13","8","He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samueldidn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him."
"webme","9","13","9","Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peaceofferings.” He offered the burnt offering."
"webme","9","13","10","It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burntoffering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he mightgreet him. "
"webme","9","13","11","Samuel said, “What have you done?”you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembledthemselves together at Michmash; "
"webme","9","13","12","therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal,and I haven’t entreated the favor of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, andoffered the burnt offering.” "
"webme","9","13","13","Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept thecommandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORDwould have established your kingdom on Israel forever."
"webme","9","13","14","But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himselfa man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince overhis people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”"
"webme","9","13","15","Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul numberedthe people who were present with him, about six hundred men."

"webme","9","13","19","Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all Eretz-Israel; for thePhilistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;"

"webme","9","13","21","The price was one payim + A payim (or pim) was 2/3 shekel of silver,or 0.26 ounces, or 7.6 grams each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares,pitchforks, axes, and goads. "

"webme","9","13","23","The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash."

"webme","9","14","33","Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against theLORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.”"
"webme","9","14","34","Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Everyman bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, andeat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All thepeople brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there."
"webme","9","14","35","Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he builtto the LORD. "
"webme","9","14","36","Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and takeplunder among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man ofthem.” "

"webme","9","14","46","Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistineswent to their own place. "
"webme","9","14","47","Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against allhis enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon,and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines.Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them."

"webme","9","18","28","Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David; and Michal, Saul’sdaughter, loved him. "
"webme","9","18","29","Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemycontinually. "
"webme","9","18","30","Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they wentout, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so thathis name was highly esteemed. "
"webme","9","19","1","Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they shouldkill David. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David."
"webme","9","19","2","Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Nowtherefore, please take care of yourself in the morning, and live in a secretplace, and hide yourself. "
"webme","9","19","3","I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, andI will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you.”"
"webme","9","19","4","Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Don’tlet the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinnedagainst you, and because his works have been very good toward you;"
"webme","9","19","5","for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORDworked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then willyou sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”"
"webme","9","19","6","Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, “As the LORDlives, he shall not be put to death.” "
"webme","9","19","7","Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. ThenJonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before."
"webme","9","19","8","There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, andkilled them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him."
"webme","9","19","9","An evil spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with hisspear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand."
"webme","9","19","10","Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he slipped awayout of Saul’s presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. David fled, andescaped that night. "
"webme","9","19","11","Saul sent messengers to David’s house, to watch him, and to kill him inthe morning. Michal, David’s wife, told him, saying, “If you don’t save yourlife tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”"
"webme","9","19","12","So Michal let David down through the window. He went away, fled, andescaped. "
"webme","9","19","13","Michal took the teraphim, + teraphim were household idols that mayhave been associated with inheritance rights to the householdproperty. and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ hair at itshead, and covered it with clothes. "
"webme","9","19","14","When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”"
"webme","9","19","15","Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up to me inthe bed, that I may kill him.” "
"webme","9","19","16","When the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, withthe pillow of goats’ hair at its head. "
"webme","9","19","17","Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemygo, so that he is escaped?” "
"webme","9","19","18","Now David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told himall that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth."
"webme","9","19","19","Saul was told, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”"
"webme","9","19","20","Saul sent messengers to seize David: and when they saw the company ofthe prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, God’s Spiritcame on Saul’s messengers, and they also prophesied."
"webme","9","19","21","When Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied.Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied."
"webme","9","19","22","Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu:and he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?”"
"webme","9","19","23","He went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then God’s Spirit came on him also,and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah."
"webme","9","19","24","He also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel,and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “IsSaul also among the prophets?” "
"webme","9","20","1","David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, “Whathave I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that heseeks my life?” "
"webme","9","20","2","He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father doesnothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would myfather hide this thing from me? It is not so.”"
"webme","9","20","3","David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have foundfavor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he begrieved:’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but astep between me and death.” "
"webme","9","20","4","Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even doit for you.” "
"webme","9","20","5","David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I shouldnot fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in thefield to the third day at evening. "
"webme","9","20","6","If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leaveof me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrificethere for all the family.’ "
"webme","9","20","7","If he says, ‘It is well;’ your servant shall have peace: but if he isangry, then know that evil is determined by him."
"webme","9","20","8","Therefore deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought yourservant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me,kill me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?”"
"webme","9","20","9","Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evilwere determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”"
"webme","9","20","10","Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if perchance your fatheranswers you roughly?” "
"webme","9","20","11","Jonathan said to David, “Come, and let us go out into the field.” Theyboth went out into the field. "
"webme","9","20","12","Jonathan said to David, “By the LORD, the God of Israel, when I havesounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if thereis good toward David, won’t I then send to you, and disclose it to you?"
"webme","9","20","13","The LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father todo you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may goin peace. May the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father."
"webme","9","20","14","You shall not only while yet I live show me the loving kindness of theLORD, that I not die; "
"webme","9","20","15","but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever; no,not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from thesurface of the earth.” "
"webme","9","20","16","So Jonathan made a covenant with David’s house, saying, “The LORD willrequire it at the hand of David’s enemies.”"
"webme","9","20","17","Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him;for he loved him as he loved his own soul."
"webme","9","20","18","Then Jonathan said to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will bemissed, because your seat will be empty."
"webme","9","20","19","When you have stayed three days, go down quickly, and come to the placewhere you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel."
"webme","9","20","20","I will shoot three arrows on its side, as though I shot at a mark."
"webme","9","20","21","Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tellthe boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come;for there is peace to you and no danger, as the LORD lives."
"webme","9","20","22","But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you;’ thengo your way; for the LORD has sent you away."
"webme","9","20","23","Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORDis between you and me forever.” "
"webme","9","20","24","So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon had come, the kingsat himself down to eat food. "
"webme","9","20","25","The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by thewall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s placewas empty. "
"webme","9","20","26","Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day, for he thought,“Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”"
"webme","9","20","27","On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place wasempty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come toeat, either yesterday, or today?” "
"webme","9","20","28","Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go toBethlehem. "
"webme","9","20","29","He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city.My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in youreyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come tothe king’s table.” "
"webme","9","20","30","Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You sonof a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son ofJesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?"
"webme","9","20","31","For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not beestablished, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me,for he shall surely die!” "
"webme","9","20","32","Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he beput to death? What has he done?” "
"webme","9","20","33","Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that hisfather was determined to put David to death."
"webme","9","20","34","So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food thesecond day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father hadtreated him shamefully. "
"webme","9","20","35","In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointedwith David, and a little boy with him. "
"webme","9","20","36","He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boyran, he shot an arrow beyond him. "
"webme","9","20","37","When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot,Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”"
"webme","9","20","38","Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’sboy gathered up the arrows, and came to his master."
"webme","9","20","39","But the boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew thematter. "
"webme","9","20","40","Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to him, “Go, carry themto the city.” "
"webme","9","20","41","As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell onhis face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed oneanother, and wept one with another, and David wept the most."
"webme","9","20","42","Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in theLORD’s name, saying, ‘The LORD is between me and you, and between myoffspring + or, seed and your offspring, + or,seed forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city."
"webme","9","21","1","Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meetDavid trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”"
"webme","9","21","2","David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to dosomething, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the businessabout which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the youngmen to a certain place.’ "
"webme","9","21","3","Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves ofbread in my hand, or whatever is available.”"
"webme","9","21","4","The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but thereis holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”"
"webme","9","21","5","David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been keptfrom us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the youngmen were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then todayshall their vessels be holy?” "
"webme","9","21","6","So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but theshow bread that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the daywhen it was taken away. "
"webme","9","21","7","Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detainedbefore the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmenwho belonged to Saul. "
"webme","9","21","8","David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear orsword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because theking’s business required haste.” "
"webme","9","21","9","The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom youkilled in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. Ifyou would like to take that, take it; for there is no other except that here.”"
"webme","9","21","10","David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish theking of Gath. "
"webme","9","21","11","The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of theland? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul hasslain his thousands, David his ten thousands?’”"
"webme","9","21","12","David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achishthe king of Gath. "
"webme","9","21","13","He changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be insane in theirhands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall downon his beard. "
"webme","9","21","14","Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Whythen have you brought him to me? "
"webme","9","21","15","Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madmanin my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”"
"webme","9","22","1","David therefore departed from there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam.When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there tohim. "
"webme","9","22","2","Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone whowas discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them.There were with him about four hundred men."
"webme","9","22","3","David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab,“Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what Godwill do for me.” "
"webme","9","22","4","He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all thetime that David was in the stronghold. "
"webme","9","22","5","The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, andgo into the land of Judah.” "
"webme","9","22","6","Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. NowSaul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spearin his hand, and all his servants were standing around him."
"webme","9","22","7","Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, youBenjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards?Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,"
"webme","9","22","8","that all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one whodiscloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there isnone of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred upmy servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”"
"webme","9","22","9","Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered andsaid, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub."
"webme","9","22","10","He inquired of the LORD for him, gave him food, and gave him the swordof Goliath the Philistine.” "
"webme","9","22","11","Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, andall his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to theking. "
"webme","9","22","12","Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.”"
"webme","9","22","13","Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son ofJesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of Godfor him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”"
"webme","9","22","14","Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servantsis so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and is taken into yourcouncil, and is honorable in your house?"
"webme","9","22","15","Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’tlet the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of myfather; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”"
"webme","9","22","16","The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all yourfather’s house.” "
"webme","9","22","17","The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill thepriests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because theyknew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the kingwouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD."
"webme","9","22","18","The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!”day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod."
"webme","9","22","19","He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, bothmen and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep,with the edge of the sword. "
"webme","9","22","20","One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar,escaped, and fled after David. "
"webme","9","22","21","Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD’s priests."
"webme","9","22","22","David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite wasthere, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of allthe persons of your father’s house. "
"webme","9","22","23","Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life.For you will be safe with me.” "
"webme","9","23","1","David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, andare robbing the threshing floors.” "
"webme","9","23","2","Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and strikethese Philistines?” "
"webme","9","23","3","David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How muchmore then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”"
"webme","9","23","4","Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. The LORD answered him, andsaid, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into yourhand.” "
"webme","9","23","5","David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, andbrought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So Davidsaved the inhabitants of Keilah. "
"webme","9","23","6","When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came downwith an ephod in his hand. "
"webme","9","23","7","Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God hasdelivered him into my hand; for he is shut in by entering into a town that hasgates and bars.” "
"webme","9","23","8","Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiegeDavid and his men. "
"webme","9","23","9","David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said toAbiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”"
"webme","9","23","10","Then David said, “O LORD, the God of Israel, your servant has surelyheard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake."
"webme","9","23","11","Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down,as your servant has heard? LORD, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell yourservant.” "
"webme","9","23","12","Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into thehand of Saul?” "
"webme","9","23","13","Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departedout of Keilah, and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David wasescaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there."
"webme","9","23","14","David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in thehill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but Goddidn’t deliver him into his hand. "
"webme","9","23","15","David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in thewilderness of Ziph in the wood. "
"webme","9","23","16","Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose, and went to David into the woods, andstrengthened his hand in God. "
"webme","9","23","17","He said to him, “Don’t be afraid; for the hand of Saul my father won’tfind you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; andSaul my father knows that also.” "
"webme","9","23","18","They both made a covenant before the LORD. Then David stayed in thewoods, and Jonathan went to his house. "
"webme","9","23","19","Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hidehimself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah,which is on the south of the desert? "
"webme","9","23","20","Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of yoursoul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’shand.” "
"webme","9","23","21","Saul said, “You are blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion onme. "
"webme","9","23","22","Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his hauntis, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he deals verycrafty. "
"webme","9","23","23","See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where hehides himself, and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. Itshall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all thethousands of Judah.” "
"webme","9","23","24","They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were inthe wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert."
"webme","9","23","25","Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down tothe rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, hepursued David in the wilderness of Maon."
"webme","9","23","26","Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on thatside of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul; for Sauland his men surrounded David and his men to take them."
"webme","9","23","27","But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come; for thePhilistines have made a raid on the land!”"
"webme","9","23","28","So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines.Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth. + “Sela Hammahlekoth”means “rock of parting”. "
"webme","9","23","29","David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi."
"webme","9","24","1","When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, he was told,“Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.”"
"webme","9","24","2","Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went toseek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats."
"webme","9","24","3","He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saulwent in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were staying in theinnermost parts of the cave. "
"webme","9","24","4","David’s men said to him, “Behold, the day of which the LORD said to you,‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him asit shall seem good to you.’” Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’srobe secretly. "
"webme","9","24","5","Afterward, David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt."
"webme","9","24","6","He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to mylord, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is theLORD’s anointed.” "
"webme","9","24","7","So David checked his men with these words, and didn’t allow them to riseagainst Saul. Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way."
"webme","9","24","8","David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried afterSaul, saying, “My lord the king!” showed respect. "
"webme","9","24","9","David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words, saying, ‘Behold,David seeks to harm you?’ "
"webme","9","24","10","Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you todayinto my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you; but I spared you; and Isaid, I will not stretch out my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’sanointed. "
"webme","9","24","11","Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand;for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and didn’t kill you, know andsee that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have notsinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it."
"webme","9","24","12","May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me ofyou; but my hand will not be on you. "

"webme","9","24","16","It came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul,that Saul said, “Is that your voice, my son David?” Saul lifted up his voice,and wept. "
"webme","9","24","17","He said to David, “You are more righteous than I; for you have done goodto me, whereas I have done evil to you."

"webme","9","25","5","David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up toCarmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name."
"webme","9","25","6","Tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house,and peace be to all that you have. "
"webme","9","25","7","Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds have now beenwith us, and we didn’t harm them, neither was there anything missing fromthem, all the while they were in Carmel."
"webme","9","25","8","Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young menfind favor in your eyes; for we come on a good day. Please give whatever comesto your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.’”"
"webme","9","25","9","When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in thename of David, and waited. "
"webme","9","25","10","Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, “Who is David? Who is the sonof Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters thesedays. "
"webme","9","25","11","Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed formy shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”"
"webme","9","25","12","So David’s young men turned on their way, and went back, and came andtold him all these words. "
"webme","9","25","13","David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!”men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage."
"webme","9","25","14","But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold,David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and heinsulted them. "
"webme","9","25","15","But the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, and we didn’tmiss anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields."
"webme","9","25","16","They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we werewith them keeping the sheep. "
"webme","9","25","17","Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determinedagainst our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthlessfellow that one can’t speak to him.” "
"webme","9","25","18","Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottlesof wine, five sheep ready dressed, fiveseahs + 1 seah is about 7 liters or 1.9 gallons or 0.8pecks of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundredcakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys."
"webme","9","25","19","She said to her young men, “Go on before me. Behold, I am coming afteryou.” But she didn’t tell her husband, Nabal."
"webme","9","25","20","As she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain,that behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them."
"webme","9","25","21","Now David had said, “Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hasin the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. Hehas returned me evil for good. "
"webme","9","25","22","God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all thatbelongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.” + or, male. "
"webme","9","25","23","When Abigail saw David, she hurried and got off of her donkey, and fellbefore David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground."
"webme","9","25","24","She fell at his feet, and said, “On me, my lord, on me be the blame!Please let your servant speak in your ears. Hear the words of your servant."
"webme","9","25","25","Please don’t let my lord pay attention to this worthless fellow, Nabal;for as his name is, so is he. Nabal + “Nabal” means“foolish”. is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, didn’tsee my lord’s young men, whom you sent."
"webme","9","25","26","Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, sincethe LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourselfwith your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil tomy lord, be as Nabal. "
"webme","9","25","27","Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it begiven to the young men who follow my lord."
"webme","9","25","28","Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainlymake my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the LORD’s battles. Evilwill not be found in you all your days."
"webme","9","25","29","Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet thesoul of my lord will be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. Hewill sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling."
"webme","9","25","30","It will come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to allthe good that he has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you prince overIsrael, "
"webme","9","25","31","that this shall be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord,either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avengedhimself. When the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember yourservant.” "
"webme","9","25","32","David said to Abigail, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sentyou today to meet me! "
"webme","9","25","33","Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, who have kept me todayfrom blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand."
"webme","9","25","34","For indeed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld mefrom harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely therewouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one whourinates on a wall.” + or, one male."
"webme","9","25","35","So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. Then hesaid to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to yourvoice, and have granted your request.” "
"webme","9","25","36","Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, likethe feast of a king. Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was verydrunk. Therefore she told him nothing, until the morning light."
"webme","9","25","37","In the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told himthese things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone."
"webme","9","25","38","About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died."
"webme","9","25","39","When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is the LORD, whohas pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept backhis servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his ownhead.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself aswife. "
"webme","9","25","40","When David’s servants had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her,saying, “David has sent us to you, to take you to him as wife.”"
"webme","9","25","41","She arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said,“Behold, your servant is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of mylord.” "
"webme","9","25","42","Abigail hurried, and arose, and rode on a donkey, with five ladies ofhers who followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and becamehis wife. "
"webme","9","25","43","David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives."
"webme","9","25","44","Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the sonof Laish, who was of Gallim. "
"webme","9","26","1","The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himselfin the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”"
"webme","9","26","2","Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having threethousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness ofZiph. "
"webme","9","26","3","Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by theway. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after himinto the wilderness. "
"webme","9","26","4","David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainlycome. "
"webme","9","26","5","Then David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; andDavid saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain ofhis army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people wereencamped around him. "
"webme","9","26","6","Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai theson of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul tothe camp?” "
"webme","9","26","7","So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul laysleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground athis head; and Abner and the people lay around him."
"webme","9","26","8","Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into yourhand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earthat one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”"
"webme","9","26","9","David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him; for who can stretch out hishand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”"
"webme","9","26","10","David said, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him; or his dayshall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish."
"webme","9","26","11","The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’sanointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head, and the jar ofwater, and let us go.” "
"webme","9","26","12","So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head; and theywent away: and no man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were allasleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen on them."
"webme","9","26","13","Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of themountain afar off; a great space being between them;"
"webme","9","26","14","and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying,“Don’t you answer, Abner?” "
"webme","9","26","15","David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Whythen have you not kept watch over your lord, the king? For one of the peoplecame in to destroy the king your lord. "
"webme","9","26","16","This thing isn’t good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you areworthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD’sanointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was athis head.” "
"webme","9","26","17","Saul knew David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?”"
"webme","9","26","18","He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done?What evil is in my hand? "
"webme","9","26","19","Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of hisservant. If it is so that the LORD has stirred you up against me, let himaccept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed beforethe LORD; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to theLORD’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’"
"webme","9","26","20","Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from thepresence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, aswhen one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”"
"webme","9","26","21","Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no moredo you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I haveplayed the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”"
"webme","9","26","22","David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Then let one of the young mencome over and get it. "
"webme","9","26","23","The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and hisfaithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and Iwouldn’t stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed."
"webme","9","26","24","Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life berespected in the LORD’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”"
"webme","9","26","25","Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will bothdo mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saulreturned to his place. "
"webme","9","27","1","David said in his heart, “I will now perish one day by the hand of Saul.There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of thePhilistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all theborders of Israel. So shall I escape out of his hand.”"
"webme","9","27","2","David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were withhim, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath."
"webme","9","27","3","David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with hishousehold, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, andAbigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife. "
"webme","9","27","4","Saul was told that David had fled to Gath: and he sought no more againfor him. "
"webme","9","27","5","David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let themgive me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there.For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”"
"webme","9","27","6","Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: therefore Ziklag belongs to thekings of Judah to this day. "
"webme","9","27","7","The number of the days that David lived in the country of the Philistineswas a full year and four months. "
"webme","9","27","8","David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, andthe Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old,on the way to Shur, even to the land of Egypt."
"webme","9","27","9","David struck the land, and saved no man or woman alive, and took away thesheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then hereturned, and came to Achish. "
"webme","9","27","10","Achish said, “Against whom have you made a raid today?”Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.”"
"webme","9","27","11","David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying,“Lest they should tell about us, saying, ‘David did this, and this has beenhis way all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.’”"
"webme","9","27","12","Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly toabhor him. Therefore he will be my servant forever.”"
"webme","9","28","1","In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together forwarfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that youwill go out with me in the army, you and your men.”"
"webme","9","28","2","David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.”"
"webme","9","28","3","Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him, and buried himin Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had put away those who had familiarspirits the wizards, out of the land. "
"webme","9","28","4","The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped inShunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa."
"webme","9","28","5","When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his hearttrembled greatly. "
"webme","9","28","6","When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD didn’t answer him by dreams, byUrim, or by prophets. "
"webme","9","28","7","Then Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiarspirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her.”spirit at Endor.” "
"webme","9","28","8","Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and twomen with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Pleaseconsult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall nameto you.” "
"webme","9","28","9","The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he hascut off those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. Whythen do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?”"
"webme","9","28","10","Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishmentwill happen to you for this thing.” "
"webme","9","28","11","Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?”"
"webme","9","28","12","When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the womanspoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!”"
"webme","9","28","13","The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?”"
"webme","9","28","14","He said to her, “What does he look like?”that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showedrespect. "
"webme","9","28","15","Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?”me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or bydreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what Ishall do.” "
"webme","9","28","16","Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed fromyou and has become your adversary? "
"webme","9","28","17","The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me. The LORD has torn thekingdom out of your hand, and given it to your neighbor, even to David."
"webme","9","28","18","Because you didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, and didn’t execute his fiercewrath on Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you today."
"webme","9","28","19","Moreover the LORD will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of thePhilistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD willdeliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”"
"webme","9","28","20","Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and wasterrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him; for he hadeaten no bread all the day or all the night."
"webme","9","28","21","The woman came to Saul, and saw that he was very troubled, and said tohim, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my lifein my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me."
"webme","9","28","22","Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and letme set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have strength, when yougo on your way.” "
"webme","9","28","23","But he refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, togetherwith the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So he arosefrom the earth and sat on the bed. "
"webme","9","28","24","The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it;and she took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it."
"webme","9","28","25","She brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they ate. Thenthey rose up, and went away that night."
"webme","9","29","1","Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and theIsraelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel."
"webme","9","29","2","The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; andDavid and his men passed on in the rear with Achish."
"webme","9","29","3","Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?”servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or ratherthese years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell away to today?”"
"webme","9","29","4","But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princesof the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back tohis place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us tobattle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what shouldthis fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads ofthese men? "
"webme","9","29","5","Isn’t this David, of whom people sang to one another in dances, saying,‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?’”"
"webme","9","29","6","Then Achish called David, and said to him, “As the LORD lives, you havebeen upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army isgood in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of yourcoming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favor you."
"webme","9","29","7","Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lordsof the Philistines.” "
"webme","9","29","8","David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in yourservant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go andfight against the enemies of my lord the king?”"
"webme","9","29","9","Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angelof God. Notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shallnot go up with us to the battle.’ "
"webme","9","29","10","Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of yourlord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning,and have light, depart.” "
"webme","9","29","11","So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, toreturn into the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up toJezreel. "
"webme","9","30","1","When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, theAmalekites had made a raid on the South, and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag,and burned it with fire, "
"webme","9","30","2","and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small andgreat. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off, and went their way."
"webme","9","30","3","When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire;and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive."

"webme","9","30","5","David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, andAbigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite."
"webme","9","30","6","David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him,because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons andfor his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God."
"webme","9","30","7","David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bringthe ephod here to me.” "
"webme","9","30","8","David inquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will Iovertake them?” without fail recover all.” "
"webme","9","30","9","So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came tothe brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed."

"webme","9","30","11","They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gavehim bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink."
"webme","9","30","12","They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins.When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread,and drank no water for three days and three nights."
"webme","9","30","13","David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?”left me, because three days ago I got sick."
"webme","9","30","14","We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that whichbelongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”"
"webme","9","30","15","David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?”up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”"
"webme","9","30","16","When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over allthe ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunderthat they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land ofJudah. "
"webme","9","30","17","David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day.Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rodeon camels and fled. "
"webme","9","30","18","David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued histwo wives. "
"webme","9","30","19","There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sonsnor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken to them.David brought back all. "
"webme","9","30","20","David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before thoseother livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”"
"webme","9","30","21","David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could notfollow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and theywent out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When Davidcame near to the people, he greeted them."
"webme","9","30","22","Then all the wicked men and base fellows, of those who went with David,answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give themanything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wifeand his children, that he may lead them away, and depart.”"
"webme","9","30","23","Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORDhas given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that cameagainst us into our hand. "
"webme","9","30","24","Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes downto the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shallshare alike.” "
"webme","9","30","25","It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and anordinance for Israel to this day. "
"webme","9","30","26","When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders ofJudah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from theplunder of the LORD’s enemies.” "
"webme","9","30","27","He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth ofthe South, to those who were in Jattir,"

"webme","9","31","2","The Philistines overtook Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killedJonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul."
"webme","9","31","3","The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and hewas greatly distressed by reason of the archers."
"webme","9","31","4","Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust methrough with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, andabuse me!” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. ThereforeSaul took his sword, and fell on it. "

"webme","16","3","24","After him, Binnui the son of Henadad repaired another portion, from thehouse of Azariah to the turning of the wall, and to the corner."
"webme","16","3","25","Palal the son of Uzai made repairs opposite the turning of the wall, andthe tower that stands out from the upper house of the king, which is by thecourt of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh made repairs."
"webme","16","3","26","(Now the temple servants lived in Ophel, to the place over against thewater gate toward the east, and the tower that stands out.)"
"webme","16","3","27","After him the Tekoites repaired another portion, over against the greattower that stands out, and to the wall of Ophel."
"webme","16","3","28","Above the horse gate, the priests made repairs, everyone across from hisown house. "
"webme","16","3","29","After them, Zadok the son of Immer made repairs across from his ownhouse. After him, Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gatemade repairs. "

"webme","16","3","32","Between the ascent of the corner and the sheep gate, the goldsmiths andthe merchants made repairs. "
"webme","16","4","1","But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry,and was very indignant, and mocked the Jews."
"webme","16","4","2","He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, “What arethese feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice?Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps ofrubbish, since they are burned?” "
"webme","16","4","3","Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, “What they are building,if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall.”"
"webme","16","4","4","“Hear, our God; for we are despised; and turn back their reproach ontheir own head, give them up for a plunder in a land of captivity;"
"webme","16","4","5","don’t cover their iniquity, and don’t let their sin be blotted out frombefore you; for they have insulted the builders.”"
"webme","16","4","6","So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half itsheight: for the people had a mind to work."
"webme","16","4","7","But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabians, the Ammonites, and theAshdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward,and that the breaches began to be filled, they were very angry;"
"webme","16","4","8","and they all conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, andto cause confusion among us. "
"webme","16","4","9","But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day andnight, because of them. "
"webme","16","4","10","Judah said, “The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and thereis much rubble; so that we are not able to build the wall.”"
"webme","16","4","11","Our adversaries said, “They will not know or see, until we come in amongthem and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”"
"webme","16","4","12","When the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from allplaces, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”"
"webme","16","4","13","Therefore I set guards in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall,in the open places. I set the people by family groups with their swords, theirspears, and their bows. "
"webme","16","4","14","I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, to the rulers, and to therest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, who is greatand awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, yourwives, and your houses.” "
"webme","16","4","15","When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and God had broughttheir counsel to nothing, all of us returned to the wall, everyone to hiswork. "
"webme","16","4","16","From that time forth, half of my servants did the work, and half of themheld the spears, the shields, the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulerswere behind all the house of Judah. "
"webme","16","4","17","They all built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves;everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other held hisweapon. "
"webme","16","4","18","Among the builders, everyone wore his sword at his side, and so built.He who sounded the shofar + or, trumpet was by me."
"webme","16","4","19","I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people,“The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far fromone another. "
"webme","16","4","20","Wherever you hear the sound of theshofar + or, trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us.”"
"webme","16","4","21","So we did the work. Half of the people held the spears from the risingof the morning until the stars appeared."
"webme","16","4","22","Likewise at the same time said I to the people, “Let everyone with hisservant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us,and may labor in the day.” "
"webme","16","4","23","So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guardwho followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon tothe water. "
"webme","16","5","1","Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives againsttheir brothers the Jews. "
"webme","16","5","2","For there were that said, “We, our sons and our daughters, are many. Letus get grain, that we may eat and live.”"
"webme","16","5","3","There were also some that said, “We are mortgaging our fields, and ourvineyards, and our houses. Let us get grain, because of the famine.”"
"webme","16","5","4","There were also some who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’stribute using our fields and our vineyards as collateral."
"webme","16","5","5","Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers, our children as theirchildren. Behold, + “Behold”, from “??????”, means look at, take notice,observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as aninterjection. we bring our sons and our daughters into bondage to beservants, and some of our daughters have been brought into bondage. It is alsonot in our power to help it, because other men have our fields and ourvineyards.” "
"webme","16","5","6","I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words."
"webme","16","5","7","Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and therulers, and said to them, “You exact usury, everyone of his brother.” I held agreat assembly against them. "
"webme","16","5","8","I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers theJews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, andshould they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a wordto say. "
"webme","16","5","9","Also I said, “The thing that you do is not good. Shouldn’t you walk inthe fear of our God, because of the reproach of the nations our enemies?"
"webme","16","5","10","I likewise, my brothers and my servants, lend them money and grain.Please let us stop this usury. "
"webme","16","5","11","Please restore to them, even today, their fields, their vineyards, theirolive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and ofthe grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you are charging them.”"
"webme","16","5","12","Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them.We will do so, even as you say.” according to this promise. "
"webme","16","5","13","Also I shook out my lap, and said, “So may God shake out every man fromhis house, and from his labor, that doesn’t perform this promise; even be heshaken out, and emptied like this.” according to this promise. "
"webme","16","5","14","Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in theland of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty-second year ofArtaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brothers have not eatenthe bread of the governor. "
"webme","16","5","15","But the former governors who were before me were supported by thepeople, and took bread and wine from them, plus fortyshekels + a shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35ounces. of silver; yes, even their servants ruled over the people; but Ididn’t do so, because of the fear of God."
"webme","16","5","16","Yes, I also continued in the work of this wall. We didn’t buy any land.All my servants were gathered there to the work."
"webme","16","5","17","Moreover there were at my table, of the Jews and the rulers, one hundredfifty men, besides those who came to us from among the nations that werearound us. "
"webme","16","5","18","Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep.Also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days a store of all sorts ofwine. Yet for all this, I didn’t demand the governor’s pay, because thebondage was heavy on this people. "
"webme","16","5","19","Remember to me, my God, for good, all that I have done for this people."
"webme","16","6","1","Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian,and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that there wasno breach left in it; (though even to that time I had not set up the doors inthe gates;) "
"webme","16","6","2","Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together inthe villages in the plain of Ono.” But they intended to harm me."
"webme","16","6","3","I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that Ican’t come down. Why should the work cease, while I leave it, and come down toyou?” "
"webme","16","6","4","They sent to me four times like this; and I answered them the same way."
"webme","16","6","5","Then Sanballat sent his servant to me the same way the fifth time with anopen letter in his hand, "
"webme","16","6","6","in which was written, “It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu saysit, that you and the Jews intend to rebel. Because of that, you are buildingthe wall. You would be their king, according to these words."
"webme","16","6","7","You have also appointed prophets to proclaim of you at Jerusalem, saying,‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now it will be reported to the king according tothese words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.”"
"webme","16","6","8","Then I sent to him, saying, “There are no such things done as you say,but you imagine them out of your own heart.”"
"webme","16","6","9","For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will beweakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, strengthen my hands."
"webme","16","6","10","I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel,who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’shouse, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for theywill come to kill you. Yes, in the night will they come to kill you.”"
"webme","16","6","11","I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I,would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”"
"webme","16","6","12","I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced thisprophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him."
"webme","16","6","13","He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they mighthave material for an evil report, that they might reproach me."
"webme","16","6","14","“Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works,and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would haveput me in fear.” "
"webme","16","6","15","So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-twodays. "
"webme","16","6","16","When all our enemies heard of it, all the nations that were around uswere afraid, and they lost their confidence; for they perceived that this workwas done by our God. "
"webme","16","6","17","Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah,and Tobiah’s letters came to them. "
"webme","16","6","18","For there were many in Judah sworn to him, because he was the son-in-lawof Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter ofMeshullam the son of Berechiah as wife."
"webme","16","6","19","Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words tohim. Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear."
"webme","16","7","1","Now when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the portersand the singers and the Levites were appointed,"
"webme","16","7","2","I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, incharge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many."
"webme","16","7","3","I said to them, “Don’t let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sunis hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them:and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch,with everyone near his house.” "
"webme","16","7","4","Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and thehouses were not built. "
"webme","16","7","5","My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers,and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book ofthe genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written init: "

"webme","17","2","9","The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quicklygave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens whowere to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens tothe best place in the women’s house. "

"webme","18","2","4","Satan answered the LORD, and said, “Skin for skin. Yes, all that a manhas he will give for his life. "

"webme","18","30","27","My heart is troubled, and doesn’t rest.Days of affliction have come on me."
"webme","18","30","28","I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help."
"webme","18","30","29","I am a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches. "

"webme","18","31","27","and my heart has been secretly enticed,and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,"
"webme","18","31","28","this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;for I should have denied the God who is above."
"webme","18","31","29","“If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,or lifted up myself when evil found him;"

"webme","18","31","32","(the foreigner has not camped in the street,but I have opened my doors to the traveler);"
"webme","18","31","33","if like Adam I have covered my transgressions,by hiding my iniquity in my heart, "
"webme","18","31","34","because I feared the great multitude,and the contempt of families terrified me,so that I kept silence, and didn’t go out of the door—"
"webme","18","31","35","oh that I had one to hear me! (behold, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me);let the accuser write my indictment!"
"webme","18","31","36","Surely I would carry it on my shoulder;and I would bind it to me as a crown."
"webme","18","31","37","I would declare to him the number of my steps.as a prince would I go near to him."
"webme","18","31","38","If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together; "

"webme","18","32","1","So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in hisown eyes. "
"webme","18","32","2","Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family ofRam, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justifiedhimself rather than God. "
"webme","18","32","3","Also his wrath was kindled against his three friends, because they hadfound no answer, and yet had condemned Job."
"webme","18","32","4","Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job, because they were elder than he."
"webme","18","32","5","When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men,his wrath was kindled. "
"webme","18","32","6","Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered,“I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion."
"webme","18","32","7","I said, ‘Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’"
"webme","18","32","8","But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding."
"webme","18","32","9","It is not the great who are wise, nor the aged who understand justice."
"webme","18","32","10","Therefore I said, ‘Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.’ "
"webme","18","32","11","“Behold, I waited for your words,and I listened for your reasoning, while you searched out what to say."
"webme","18","32","12","Yes, I gave you my full attention,but there was no one who convinced Job,or who answered his words, among you."
"webme","18","32","13","Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom,God may refute him, not man;’ "
"webme","18","32","14","for he has not directed his words against me;neither will I answer him with your speeches."
"webme","18","32","15","“They are amazed. They answer no more.They don’t have a word to say. "
"webme","18","32","16","Shall I wait, because they don’t speak,because they stand still, and answer no more?"
"webme","18","32","17","I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion. "
"webme","18","32","18","For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me."
"webme","18","32","19","Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent;like new wineskins it is ready to burst."
"webme","18","32","20","I will speak, that I may be refreshed.I will open my lips and answer. "
"webme","18","32","21","Please don’t let me respect any man’s person,neither will I give flattering titles to any man."

"webme","18","33","1","“However, Job, please hear my speech,and listen to all my words. "

"webme","18","33","3","My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart.That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely."
"webme","18","33","4","The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life."
"webme","18","33","5","If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up."
"webme","18","33","6","Behold, I am toward God even as you are.I am also formed out of the clay. "
"webme","18","33","7","Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid,neither shall my pressure be heavy on you."
"webme","18","33","8","“Surely you have spoken in my hearing,I have heard the voice of your words, saying,"

"webme","18","33","10","Behold, he finds occasions against me.He counts me for his enemy. "
"webme","18","33","11","He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’ "
"webme","18","33","12","“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just,for God is greater than man. "
"webme","18","33","13","Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?"
"webme","18","33","14","For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention."
"webme","18","33","15","In a dream, in a vision of the night,when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed; "
"webme","18","33","16","Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, "
"webme","18","33","17","That he may withdraw man from his purpose,and hide pride from man. "
"webme","18","33","18","He keeps back his soul from the pit,and his life from perishing by the sword."
"webme","18","33","19","He is chastened also with pain on his bed,with continual strife in his bones;"
"webme","18","33","20","So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food. "
"webme","18","33","21","His flesh is so consumed away, that it can’t be seen.His bones that were not seen stick out."
"webme","18","33","22","Yes, his soul draws near to the pit,and his life to the destroyers. "
"webme","18","33","23","“If there is beside him an angel,an interpreter, one among a thousand,to show to man what is right for him;"
"webme","18","33","24","then God is gracious to him, and says,‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,I have found a ransom.’ "
"webme","18","33","25","His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s.He returns to the days of his youth."
"webme","18","33","26","He prays to God, and he is favorable to him,so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness."
"webme","18","33","27","He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,and it didn’t profit me. "
"webme","18","33","28","He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit.My life shall see the light.’ "
"webme","18","33","29","“Behold, God does all these things,twice, yes three times, with a man,"

"webme","18","33","31","Mark well, Job, and listen to me.Hold your peace, and I will speak. "
"webme","18","33","32","If you have anything to say, answer me.Speak, for I desire to justify you."
"webme","18","33","33","If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”"
"webme","18","34","1","Moreover Elihu answered, "
"webme","18","34","2","“Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge."
"webme","18","34","3","For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food. "
"webme","18","34","4","Let us choose for us that which is right.Let us know among ourselves what is good."
"webme","18","34","5","For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,God has taken away my right: "

"webme","18","34","7","What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water, "
"webme","18","34","8","Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,and walks with wicked men? "
"webme","18","34","9","For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothingthat he should delight himself with God.’"
"webme","18","34","10","“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding:far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity."
"webme","18","34","11","For the work of a man he will render to him,and cause every man to find according to his ways."
"webme","18","34","12","Yes surely, God will not do wickedly,neither will the Almighty pervert justice."
"webme","18","34","13","Who put him in charge of the earth?or who has appointed him over the whole world?"
"webme","18","34","14","If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,"
"webme","18","34","15","all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again to dust. "
"webme","18","34","16","“If now you have understanding, hear this.Listen to the voice of my words. "
"webme","18","34","17","Shall even one who hates justice govern?Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?—"
"webme","18","34","18","Who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’? "
"webme","18","34","19","Who doesn’t respect the persons of princes,nor respects the rich more than the poor;for they all are the work of his hands."
"webme","18","34","20","In a moment they die, even at midnight.The people are shaken and pass away.The mighty are taken away without a hand."
"webme","18","34","21","“For his eyes are on the ways of a man.He sees all his goings. "
"webme","18","34","22","There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves."
"webme","18","34","23","For he doesn’t need to consider a man further,that he should go before God in judgment."
"webme","18","34","24","He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out,and sets others in their place. "
"webme","18","34","25","Therefore he takes knowledge of their works.He overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed."
"webme","18","34","26","He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others; "
"webme","18","34","27","because they turned aside from following him,and wouldn’t pay attention to any of his ways,"
"webme","18","34","28","so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him.He heard the cry of the afflicted. "
"webme","18","34","29","When he gives quietness, who then can condemn?When he hides his face, who then can see him?Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,"
"webme","18","34","30","that the godless man may not reign,that there be no one to ensnare the people."
"webme","18","34","31","“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more."
"webme","18","34","32","Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?"
"webme","18","34","33","Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it?For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know. "
"webme","18","34","34","Men of understanding will tell me,yes, every wise man who hears me: "
"webme","18","34","35","‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’ "
"webme","18","34","36","I wish that Job were tried to the end,because of his answering like wicked men."
"webme","18","34","37","For he adds rebellion to his sin.He claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.”"
"webme","18","35","1","Moreover Elihu answered, "

"webme","18","35","4","I will answer you, and your companions with you. "

"webme","19","78","34","When he killed them, then they inquired after him.They returned and sought God earnestly."
"webme","19","78","35","They remembered that God was their rock,the Most High God, their redeemer. "

"webme","19","78","40","How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness,and grieved him in the desert! "
"webme","19","78","41","They turned again and tempted God,and provoked the Holy One of Israel."
"webme","19","78","42","They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;"
"webme","19","78","43","how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan, "
"webme","19","78","44","he turned their rivers into blood,and their streams, so that they could not drink."

"webme","19","78","49","He threw on them the fierceness of his anger,wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil. "
"webme","19","78","50","He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death,but gave their life over to the pestilence,"
"webme","19","78","51","and struck all the firstborn in Egypt,the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham."
"webme","19","78","52","But he led out his own people like sheep,and guided them in the wilderness like a flock."
"webme","19","78","53","He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid,but the sea overwhelmed their enemies."
"webme","19","78","54","He brought them to the border of his sanctuary,to this mountain, which his right hand had taken."
"webme","19","78","55","He also drove out the nations before them,allotted them for an inheritance by line,and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents."
"webme","19","78","56","Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God,and didn’t keep his testimonies; "
"webme","19","78","57","but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers.They were turned aside like a deceitful bow."
"webme","19","78","58","For they provoked him to anger with their high places,and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images."
"webme","19","78","59","When God heard this, he was angry,and greatly abhorred Israel; "
"webme","19","78","60","So that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh,the tent which he placed among men;"
"webme","19","78","61","and delivered his strength into captivity,his glory into the adversary’s hand."
"webme","19","78","62","He also gave his people over to the sword,and was angry with his inheritance."
"webme","19","78","63","Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song. "
"webme","19","78","64","Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep. "
"webme","19","78","65","Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep,like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine."
"webme","19","78","66","He struck his adversaries backward.He put them to a perpetual reproach."
"webme","19","78","67","Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph,and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,"
"webme","19","78","68","But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved. "
"webme","19","78","69","He built his sanctuary like the heights,like the earth which he has established forever."
"webme","19","78","70","He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; "
"webme","19","78","71","from following the ewes that have their young,he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people,and Israel, his inheritance. "
"webme","19","78","72","So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart,and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands."
"webme","19","79","1","God, the nations have come into your inheritance.They have defiled your holy temple.They have laid Jerusalem in heaps. "
"webme","19","79","2","They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birdsof the sky, the flesh of your holy ones to the animals of the earth."
"webme","19","79","3","Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem.There was no one to bury them. "
"webme","19","79","4","We have become a reproach to our neighbors,a scoffing and derision to those who are around us."
"webme","19","79","5","How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? "
"webme","19","79","6","Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you;on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name;"
"webme","19","79","7","For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland. "
"webme","19","79","8","Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,for we are in desperate need. "
"webme","19","79","9","Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake."
"webme","19","79","10","Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes,that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out."
"webme","19","79","11","Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you.According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentencedto death. "
"webme","19","79","12","Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosomtheir reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord."

"webme","21","7","2","It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house offeasting: for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this toheart. "
"webme","21","7","3","Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heartis made good. "
"webme","21","7","4","The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of foolsis in the house of mirth. "
"webme","21","7","5","It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear thesong of fools. "
"webme","21","7","6","For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of thefool. This also is vanity. "
"webme","21","7","7","Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys theunderstanding. "
"webme","21","7","8","Better is the end of a thing than its beginning."
"webme","21","7","9","Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosomof fools. "
"webme","21","7","10","Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do notask wisely about this. "
"webme","21","7","11","Wisdom is as good as an inheritance. Yes, it is more excellent for thosewho see the sun. "
"webme","21","7","12","For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellencyof knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it."
"webme","21","7","13","Consider the work of God, for who can make that straight, which he hasmade crooked? "
"webme","21","7","14","In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversityconsider; yes, God has made the one side by side with the other, to the endthat man should not find out anything after him."
"webme","21","7","15","All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man whoperishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in hisevildoing. "
"webme","21","7","16","Don’t be overly righteous, neither make yourself overly wise. Why shouldyou destroy yourself? "
"webme","21","7","17","Don’t be too wicked, neither be foolish. Why should you die before yourtime? "
"webme","21","7","18","It is good that you should take hold of this. Yes, also from that don’twithdraw your hand; for he who fears God will come out of them all."
"webme","21","7","19","Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in acity. "
"webme","21","7","20","Surely there is not a righteous man on earth, who does good and doesn’tsin. "
"webme","21","7","21","Also don’t take heed to all words that are spoken, lest you hear yourservant curse you; "

"webme","21","7","23","All this have I proved in wisdom. I said, “I will be wise”; but it wasfar from me. "
"webme","21","7","24","That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?"
"webme","21","7","25","I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and toseek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness isstupidity, and that foolishness is madness."
"webme","21","7","26","I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and traps,whose hands are chains. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her; but thesinner will be ensnared by her. "

"webme","21","8","1","Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? Aman’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed."
"webme","21","8","2","I say, “Keep the king’s command!” because of the oath to God."
"webme","21","8","3","Don’t be hasty to go out of his presence. Don’t persist in an evil thing,for he does whatever pleases him, "

"webme","21","8","5","Whoever keeps the commandment shall not come to harm, and his wise heartwill know the time and procedure. "
"webme","21","8","6","For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the miseryof man is heavy on him. "

"webme","21","8","9","All this have I seen, and applied my mind to every work that is doneunder the sun. There is a time in which one man has power over another to hishurt. "
"webme","21","8","10","So I saw the wicked buried. Indeed they came also from holiness. Theywent and were forgotten in the city where they did this. This also is vanity."
"webme","21","8","11","Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."
"webme","21","8","12","Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yetsurely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverentbefore him. "
"webme","21","8","13","But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he lengthen dayslike a shadow; because he doesn’t fear God."
"webme","21","8","14","There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteousmen to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there arewicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I saidthat this also is vanity. "
"webme","21","8","15","Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun,than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him inhis labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun."
"webme","21","8","16","When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that isdone on the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night sees sleepwith his eyes), "
"webme","21","8","17","then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that isdone under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet hewon’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, hewon’t be able to find it. "
"webme","21","9","1","For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that therighteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether itis love or hatred, man doesn’t know it; all is before them."
"webme","21","9","2","All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and tothe wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices,and to him who doesn’t sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he whotakes an oath, as he who fears an oath."
"webme","21","9","3","This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is oneevent to all: yes also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, andmadness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead."
"webme","21","9","4","For to him who is joined with all the living there is hope; for a livingdog is better than a dead lion. "
"webme","21","9","5","For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything,neither do they have any more a reward; for their memory is forgotten."

"webme","21","9","12","For man also doesn’t know his time. As the fish that are taken in anevil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sonsof men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them."
"webme","21","9","13","I have also seen wisdom under the sun in this way, and it seemed greatto me. "
"webme","21","9","14","There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king cameagainst it, besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it."
"webme","21","9","15","Now a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered thecity; yet no man remembered that same poor man."
"webme","21","9","16","Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poorman’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard."
"webme","21","9","17","The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him whorules among fools. "
"webme","21","9","18","Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good."

"webme","26","8","11","There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house ofIsrael; and in the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, everyman with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense wentup. "
"webme","26","8","12","Then he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of thehouse of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? for theysay, the LORD doesn’t see us; the LORD has forsaken the land."
"webme","26","8","13","He said also to me, You shall again see yet other great abominationswhich they do. "
"webme","26","8","14","Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which wastoward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz."
"webme","26","8","15","Then he said to me, Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again seeyet greater abominations than these. "
"webme","26","8","16","He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house; and see, at thedoor of the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, were abouttwenty-five men, with their backs toward the LORD’s temple, and their facestoward the east; and they were worshiping the sun toward the east."
"webme","26","8","17","Then he said to me, Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thingto the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commithere? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again toprovoke me to anger: and behold, they put the branch to their nose."
"webme","26","8","18","Therefore will I also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neitherwill I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will Inot hear them. "
"webme","26","9","1","Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause those who arein charge of the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon inhis hand. "
"webme","26","9","2","Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies towardthe north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man in themiddle of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. Theywent in, and stood beside the bronze altar."
"webme","26","9","3","The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon itwas, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen,who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side."
"webme","26","9","4","The LORD said to him, Go through the middle of the city, through themiddle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh andthat cry over all the abominations that are done within it."
"webme","26","9","5","To the others he said in my hearing, Go through the city after him, andstrike: don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity;"
"webme","26","9","6","kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and littlechildren and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark: and beginat my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house."
"webme","26","9","7","He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain.Go out!” "
"webme","26","9","8","While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried,and said, “Ah Lord GOD! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in yourpouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”"
"webme","26","9","9","Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah isexceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full ofperversion: for they say, ‘the LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORDdoesn’t see.’ "
"webme","26","9","10","As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but Iwill bring their way on their head.” "
"webme","26","9","11","Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side,reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”"
"webme","26","10","1","Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of thecherubim there appeared above them as it were asapphire + or, lapis lazuli  stone, as the appearance of the likeness ofa throne. "
"webme","26","10","2","He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between thewhirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals offire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. He went in asI watched. "
"webme","26","10","3","Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man wentin; and the cloud filled the inner court."
"webme","26","10","4","the LORD’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the thresholdof the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was fullof the brightness of the LORD’s glory. "
"webme","26","10","5","The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court,as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks."
"webme","26","10","6","It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Takefire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he wentin, and stood beside a wheel. "
"webme","26","10","7","The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the firethat was between the cherubim, and took of it, and put it into the hands ofhim who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out."
"webme","26","10","8","There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man’s hand under theirwings. "
"webme","26","10","9","I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel besideone cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of thewheels was like a beryl stone. "
"webme","26","10","10","As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheelwithin a wheel. "
"webme","26","10","11","When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn’t turn asthey went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; theydidn’t turn as they went. "
"webme","26","10","12","Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, andthe wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four ofthem had. "
"webme","26","10","13","As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels."
"webme","26","10","14","Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, andthe second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion,and the fourth the face of an eagle. "
"webme","26","10","15","The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by theriver Chebar. "
"webme","26","10","16","When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when thecherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels alsodidn’t turn from beside them. "
"webme","26","10","17","When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted upwith them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them."
"webme","26","10","18","the LORD’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house, andstood over the cherubim. "
"webme","26","10","19","The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in mysight when they went out, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at thedoor of the east gate of the LORD’s house; and the glory of the God of Israelwas over them above. "
"webme","26","10","20","This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by theriver Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim."
"webme","26","10","21","Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness ofthe hands of a man was under their wings."
"webme","26","10","22","As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw bythe river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every onestraight forward. "
"webme","26","11","1","Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of theLORD’s house, which looks eastward: and see, at the door of the gatetwenty-five men; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiahthe son of Benaiah, princes of the people."
"webme","26","11","2","He said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and whogive wicked counsel in this city; "
"webme","26","11","3","who say, The time is not near to build houses: this is the cauldron, andwe are the meat. "
"webme","26","11","4","Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, son of man."
"webme","26","11","5","the LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, Speak, the LORD says:Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into yourmind. "
"webme","26","11","6","You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled itsstreets with the slain. "
"webme","26","11","7","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Your slain whom you have laid in themiddle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you shall bebrought out of the middle of it. "
"webme","26","11","8","You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you, says theLord GOD. "
"webme","26","11","9","I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the handsof strangers, and will execute judgments among you."
"webme","26","11","10","You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel;and you shall know that I am the LORD. "
"webme","26","11","11","This shall not be your cauldron, neither shall you be the meat in themiddle of it; I will judge you in the border of Israel;"
"webme","26","11","12","and you shall know that I am the LORD: for you have not walked in mystatutes, neither have you executed my ordinances, but have done after theordinances of the nations that are around you."
"webme","26","11","13","When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down onmy face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! will you make afull end of the remnant of Israel?” "
"webme","26","11","14","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","11","15","“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of yourrelatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, to whom the inhabitantsof Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been givento us for a possession.’” "
"webme","26","11","16","Therefore say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Whereas I have removed them faroff among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries,yet will I be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries wherethey have come. "
"webme","26","11","17","Therefore say, Thus says the Lord GOD: I will gather you from thepeoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered,and I will give you Eretz-Israel. "
"webme","26","11","18","They shall come there, and they shall take away all the detestablethings of it and all its abominations from there."
"webme","26","11","19","I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; andI will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart offlesh; "
"webme","26","11","20","that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them:and they shall be my people, and I will be their God."
"webme","26","11","21","But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestablethings and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads, saysthe Lord GOD. "
"webme","26","11","22","Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were besidethem; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above."
"webme","26","11","23","the LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on themountain which is on the east side of the city."
"webme","26","11","24","The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit ofGod into Kasdimah, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seenwent up from me. "
"webme","26","11","25","Then I spoke to them of the captivity all the things that the LORD hadshown me. "
"webme","26","12","1","the LORD’s word also came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","12","2","Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who haveeyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for theyare a rebellious house. "
"webme","26","12","3","Therefore, you son of man, prepare your stuff for moving, and move by dayin their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in theirsight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house."
"webme","26","12","4","You shall bring out your stuff by day in their sight, as stuff formoving; and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when mengo out into exile. "
"webme","26","12","5","Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your stuff out that way."
"webme","26","12","6","In their sight you shall bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out inthe dark; you shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land: for Ihave set you for a sign to the house of Israel."
"webme","26","12","7","I did so as I was commanded: I brought out my stuff by day, as stuff forremoving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought itout in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight."
"webme","26","12","8","In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","12","9","Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said toyou, What are you doing? "
"webme","26","12","10","Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: This burden concerns the prince inJerusalem, and all the house of Israel among whom they are."
"webme","26","12","11","Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done to them;they shall go into exile, into captivity."
"webme","26","12","12","The prince who is among them shall bear on his shoulder in the dark, andshall go out: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shallcover his face, because he shall not see the land with his eyes."
"webme","26","12","13","My net also will I spread on him, and he shall be taken in my snare; andI will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Kasdim; yet shall he not seeit, though he shall die there. "
"webme","26","12","14","I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, andall his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them."
"webme","26","12","15","They shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall disperse them among thenations, and scatter them through the countries."
"webme","26","12","16","But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, andfrom the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among thenations where they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
"webme","26","12","17","Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","12","18","Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water withtrembling and with fearfulness; "
"webme","26","12","19","and tell the people of the land, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning theinhabitants of Jerusalem, and Eretz-Israel: They shall eat their bread withfearfulness, and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate,and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwelltherein. "
"webme","26","12","20","The cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall bea desolation; and you shall know that I am the LORD."
"webme","26","12","21","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","12","22","Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in Eretz-Israel, saying,The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?"
"webme","26","12","23","Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord GOD: I will make this proverb tocease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but tell them,The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision."
"webme","26","12","24","For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divinationwithin the house of Israel. "
"webme","26","12","25","For I am the LORD; I will speak, and the word that I speak will beperformed. It will be no more deferred: for in your days, rebellious house,will I speak the word, and will perform it, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","12","26","Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","12","27","Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that hesees is for many day to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off."
"webme","26","12","28","Therefore tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD: None of my words shall bedeferred any more, but the word which I shall speak shall be performed, saysthe Lord GOD. "
"webme","26","13","1","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","13","2","Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and sayto those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the LORD’s word:"
"webme","26","13","3","Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their ownspirit, and have seen nothing! "
"webme","26","13","4","Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places."
"webme","26","13","5","You have not gone up into the gaps, neither built up the wall for thehouse of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD."
"webme","26","13","6","They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, the LORD says;but the LORD has not sent them: and they have made men to hope that the wordwould be confirmed. "
"webme","26","13","7","Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lyingdivination, in that you say, the LORD says; but I have not spoken?"
"webme","26","13","8","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have spoken falsehood, andseen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","13","9","My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and whodivine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall theybe written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enterinto Eretz-Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","13","10","Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; andthere is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it withwhitewash: "
"webme","26","13","11","tell those who plaster it with whitewash, that it shall fall: thereshall be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, shall fall; and astormy wind shall tear it. "
"webme","26","13","12","Behold, when the wall has fallen, shall it not be said to you, Where isthe plaster with which you have plastered it?"
"webme","26","13","13","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will even tear it with a stormy windin my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in my anger, and greathailstones in wrath to consume it. "
"webme","26","13","14","So will I break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash,and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation shall be uncovered;and it shall fall, and you shall be consumed in the middle of it: and youshall know that I am the LORD. "
"webme","26","13","15","Thus will I accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who haveplastered it with whitewash; and I will tell you, The wall is no more, neitherthose who plastered it; "
"webme","26","13","16","to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, andwho see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","13","17","You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, whoprophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,"
"webme","26","13","18","and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the women who sew pillows on allelbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to huntsouls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive foryourselves? "
"webme","26","13","19","You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and forpieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the soulsalive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies."
"webme","26","13","20","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your pillows,with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear themfrom your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls whom you hunt tomake them fly. "
"webme","26","13","21","Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand,and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know that Iam the LORD. "
"webme","26","13","22","Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom Ihave not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he shouldnot return from his wicked way, and be saved alive:"
"webme","26","13","23","Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination.I will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am theLORD. "
"webme","26","14","1","Then came certain of the elders of Israel to me, and sat before me."
"webme","26","14","2","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","14","3","Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and putthe stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquiredof at all by them? "
"webme","26","14","4","Therefore speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Every manof the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts thestumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; Ithe LORD will answer him therein according to the multitude of his idols;"
"webme","26","14","5","that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they areall estranged from me through their idols."
"webme","26","14","6","Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Return, andturn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all yourabominations. "
"webme","26","14","7","For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live inIsrael, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, andputs the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to theprophet to inquire for himself of me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:"
"webme","26","14","8","and I will set my face against that man, and will make him anastonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among mypeople; and you shall know that I am the LORD."
"webme","26","14","9","If the prophet is deceived and speak a word, I, the LORD, have deceivedthat prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him fromamong my people Israel. "
"webme","26","14","10","They shall bear their iniquity: the iniquity of the prophet shall beeven as the iniquity of him who seeks him;"
"webme","26","14","11","that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defilethemselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be mypeople, and I may be their God, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","14","12","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","14","13","Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and Istretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread, and send famineon it, and cut off from it man and animal;"
"webme","26","14","14","though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they shoulddeliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","14","15","If I cause evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it,and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of theanimals; "
"webme","26","14","16","though these three men were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, theyshould deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only should be delivered, butthe land should be desolate. "
"webme","26","14","17","Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, go through the land;so that I cut off from it man and animal;"

"webme","26","14","19","Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath on it inblood, to cut off from it man and animal;"
"webme","26","14","20","though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD,they should deliver neither son nor daughter; they should but deliver theirown souls by their righteousness. "
"webme","26","14","21","For thus says the Lord GOD: How much more when I send my four severejudgments on Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil animals, andthe pestilence, to cut off from it man and animal!"
"webme","26","14","22","Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be carried out,both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come out to you, and you shall seetheir way and their doings; and you shall be comforted concerning the evilthat I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought onit. "
"webme","26","14","23","They shall comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; and youshall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saysthe Lord GOD. "
"webme","26","15","1","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","15","2","Son of man, what is the vine tree more than any tree, the vine-branchwhich is among the trees of the forest?"
"webme","26","15","3","Will wood be taken of it to make anything? Will men take a pin of it tohang any vessel on it? "
"webme","26","15","4","Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire has devoured both itsends, and the middle of it is burned: is it profitable for any work?"

"webme","26","15","6","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: As the vine tree among the trees of theforest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give theinhabitants of Jerusalem. "
"webme","26","15","7","I will set my face against them; they shall go out from the fire, but thefire shall devour them; and you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set myface against them. "
"webme","26","15","8","I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass,says the Lord GOD. "
"webme","26","16","1","Again the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","16","2","Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations;"
"webme","26","16","3","and say, Thus says the Lord GOD to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birthis of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your motherwas a Hittite. "
"webme","26","16","4","As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut,neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren’t salted at all,nor swaddled at all. "
"webme","26","16","5","No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassionon you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person wasabhorred, in the day that you were born."
"webme","26","16","6","When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you,Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in yourblood, live. "
"webme","26","16","7","I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and youincreased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breastswere fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare."
"webme","26","16","8","Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was thetime of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes,I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, andyou became mine. "
"webme","26","16","9","Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your bloodfrom you, and I anointed you with oil. "
"webme","26","16","10","I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin,and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk."
"webme","26","16","11","I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and achain on your neck. "
"webme","26","16","12","I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautifulcrown on your head. "
"webme","26","16","13","Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of finelinen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil;and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate."
"webme","26","16","14","Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it wasperfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","16","15","But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because ofyour renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; hisit was. "
"webme","26","16","16","You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places deckedwith various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shall not come,neither shall it be. "
"webme","26","16","17","You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which Ihad given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitutewith them; "
"webme","26","16","18","and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oiland my incense before them. "
"webme","26","16","19","My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, withwhich I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so itwas, says the Lord GOD. "
"webme","26","16","20","Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you haveborne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was yourprostitution a small matter, "
"webme","26","16","21","that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing themto pass through the fire to them? "
"webme","26","16","22","In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not rememberedthe days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing inyour blood. "
"webme","26","16","23","It has happened after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you! says theLord GOD), "
"webme","26","16","24","that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have madeyourselves a lofty place in every street."
"webme","26","16","25","You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have madeyour beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passedby, and multiplied your prostitution. "
"webme","26","16","26","You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, yourneighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provokeme to anger. "
"webme","26","16","27","See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and havediminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you,the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way."
"webme","26","16","28","You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you wereinsatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’tsatisfied. "
"webme","26","16","29","You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants,to Kasdimah; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this."
"webme","26","16","30","How weak is your heart, says the Lord GOD, since you do all thesethings, the work of an impudent prostitute;"
"webme","26","16","31","in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and makeyour lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in thatyou scorn pay. "
"webme","26","16","32","A wife who commits adultery! who takes strangers instead of her husband!"
"webme","26","16","33","They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all yourlovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for yourprostitution. "
"webme","26","16","34","You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no onefollows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire isgiven to you, therefore you are different."
"webme","26","16","35","Therefore, prostitute, hear the LORD’s word:"
"webme","26","16","36","Thus says the Lord GOD, Because your filthiness was poured out, and yournakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because ofall the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, thatyou gave to them; "
"webme","26","16","37","therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have takenpleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated;I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover yournakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness."
"webme","26","16","38","I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged;and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy."
"webme","26","16","39","I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down yourvaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you ofyour clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you nakedand bare. "
"webme","26","16","40","They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone youwith stones, and thrust you through with their swords."
"webme","26","16","41","They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you inthe sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing theprostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more."
"webme","26","16","42","So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shalldepart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry."
"webme","26","16","43","Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have ragedagainst me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your wayon your head, says the Lord GOD: and you shall not commit this lewdness withall your abominations. "
"webme","26","16","44","Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you,saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter."
"webme","26","16","45","You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and herchildren; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbandsand their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite."
"webme","26","16","46","Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and herdaughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodomand her daughters. "
"webme","26","16","47","Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done after theirabominations; but, soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways."
"webme","26","16","48","As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she norher daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters."
"webme","26","16","49","Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness ofbread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did shestrengthen the hand of the poor and needy."
"webme","26","16","50","They were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I tookthem away when I saw it. "
"webme","26","16","51","Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multipliedyour abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all yourabominations which you have done. "
"webme","26","16","52","You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment foryour sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable thanthey, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear yourshame, in that you have justified your sisters."
"webme","26","16","53","I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and herdaughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivityof your captives among them; "
"webme","26","16","54","that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all thatyou have done, in that you are a comfort to them."
"webme","26","16","55","Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their formerestate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; andyou and your daughters shall return to your former estate."
"webme","26","16","56","For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of yourpride, "
"webme","26","16","57","before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach ofthe daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of thePhilistines, who do despite to you all around."
"webme","26","16","58","You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says the LORD."
"webme","26","16","59","For thus says the Lord GOD: I will also deal with you as you have done,who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant."

"webme","26","17","1","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","17","2","Son of man, tell a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;"
"webme","26","17","3","and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: A great eagle with great wings and longfeathers, full of feathers, which had various colors, came to Lebanon, andtook the top of the cedar: "
"webme","26","17","4","he cropped off the topmost of the young twigs of it, and carried it to aland of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants."
"webme","26","17","5","He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil;he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a willow tree."
"webme","26","17","6","It grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branchesturned toward him, and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, andproduced branches, and shot out sprigs."
"webme","26","17","7","There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers:and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot out its branchestoward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it."
"webme","26","17","8","It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might producebranches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine."
"webme","26","17","9","Say, Thus says the Lord GOD: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up itsroots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither; that all its fresh springingleaves may wither? and not by a strong arm or many people can it be raisedfrom its roots. "
"webme","26","17","10","Yes, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterlywither, when the east wind touches it? it shall wither in the beds where itgrew. "
"webme","26","17","11","Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","17","12","Say now to the rebellious house, Don’t you know what these things mean?tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king,and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon:"
"webme","26","17","13","and he took of the royal offspring, + or,seed and made a covenant with him; he also brought him under an oath, andtook away the mighty of the land; "
"webme","26","17","14","that the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, butthat by keeping his covenant it might stand."
"webme","26","17","15","But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, thatthey might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? shall he escapewho does such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?"
"webme","26","17","16","As I live, says the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwellswho made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, evenwith him in the middle of Babylon he shall die."
"webme","26","17","17","Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company help him inthe war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many persons."
"webme","26","17","18","For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, hehad given his hand, and yet has done all these things; he shall not escape."
"webme","26","17","19","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: As I live, surely my oath that he hasdespised, and my covenant that he has broken, I will even bring it on his ownhead. "
"webme","26","17","20","I will spread my net on him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and Iwill bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for histrespass that he has trespassed against me."
"webme","26","17","21","All his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and thosewho remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I,the LORD, have spoken it. "
"webme","26","17","22","Thus says the Lord GOD: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar,and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tenderone, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain:"
"webme","26","17","23","in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shallproduce boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shalldwell all birds of every wing; in the shade of its branches shall they dwell."
"webme","26","17","24","All the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, have broughtdown the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree,and have made the dry tree to flourish; I, the LORD, have spoken and have doneit. "
"webme","26","18","1","the LORD’s word came to me again, saying,"
"webme","26","18","2","What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning Eretz-Israel,saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are seton edge? "
"webme","26","18","3","As I live, says the Lord GOD, you shall not use this proverb any more inIsrael. "
"webme","26","18","4","Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soulof the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die."
"webme","26","18","5","But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,"
"webme","26","18","6","and has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes to theidols of the house of Israel, neither has defiled his neighbor’s wife, neitherhas come near to a woman in her impurity,"
"webme","26","18","7","and has not wronged any, but has restored to the debtor his pledge, hastaken nothing by robbery, has given his bread to the hungry, and has coveredthe naked with a garment; "
"webme","26","18","8","he who has not lent on interest, neither has taken any increase, who haswithdrawn his hand from iniquity, has executed true justice between man andman, "
"webme","26","18","9","has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; heis just, he shall surely live, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","18","10","If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does anyone of these things, "
"webme","26","18","11","or who does not do any of those things, but even has eaten on themountains, and defiled his neighbor’s wife,"
"webme","26","18","12","has wronged the poor and needy, has taken by robbery, has not restoredthe pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to the idols, has committedabomination, "
"webme","26","18","13","has lent on interest, and has taken increase; shall he then live? heshall not live: he has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; hisblood shall be on him. "
"webme","26","18","14","Now, behold, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father’s sins, whichhe has done, and fears, and does not such like;"
"webme","26","18","15","who has not eaten on the mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes tothe idols of the house of Israel, has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,"
"webme","26","18","16","neither has wronged any, has not taken anything to pledge, neither hastaken by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered thenaked with a garment; "
"webme","26","18","17","who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who has not received interestnor increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shallnot die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live."
"webme","26","18","18","As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, anddid that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in hisiniquity. "
"webme","26","18","19","Yet you say, Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father? Whenthe son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes,and has done them, he shall surely live."
"webme","26","18","20","The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity ofthe father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; therighteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of thewicked shall be on him. "
"webme","26","18","21","But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keepall my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live,he shall not die. "
"webme","26","18","22","None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be rememberedagainst him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live."
"webme","26","18","23","Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord GOD; andnot rather that he should return from his way, and live?"
"webme","26","18","24","But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commitsiniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does,shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall beremembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he hassinned, in them shall he die. "
"webme","26","18","25","Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, house ofIsrael: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?"
"webme","26","18","26","When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commitsiniquity, and dies therein; in his iniquity that he has done shall he die."
"webme","26","18","27","Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he hascommitted, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soulalive. "
"webme","26","18","28","Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that hehas committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die."
"webme","26","18","29","Yet the house of Israel says, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” Houseof Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair?"
"webme","26","18","30","Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to hisways, says the Lord GOD. Return, and turn yourselves from all yourtransgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin."
"webme","26","18","31","Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you havetransgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will youdie, house of Israel? "
"webme","26","18","32","For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord GOD:therefore turn yourselves, and live. "
"webme","26","19","1","Moreover, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,"
"webme","26","19","2","and say, What was your mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in themiddle of the young lions she nourished her cubs."
"webme","26","19","3","She brought up one of her cubs: he became a young lion, and he learned tocatch the prey; he devoured men. "
"webme","26","19","4","The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and theybrought him with hooks to the land of Egypt."
"webme","26","19","5","Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then shetook another of her cubs, and made him a young lion."
"webme","26","19","6","He went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and helearned to catch the prey; he devoured men."
"webme","26","19","7","He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land wasdesolate, and its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring."
"webme","26","19","8","Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; andthey spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit."
"webme","26","19","9","They put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king ofBabylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more beheard on the mountains of Israel. "
"webme","26","19","10","Your mother was like a vine, in your blood, planted by the waters: itwas fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters."
"webme","26","19","11","It had strong rods for the scepters of those who bore rule, and theirstature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their heightwith the multitude of their branches. "
"webme","26","19","12","But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and theeast wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered;the fire consumed them. "
"webme","26","19","13","Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land."
"webme","26","19","14","Fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it has devoured its fruit,so that there is in it no strong rod to be a scepter to rule. This is alamentation, and shall be for a lamentation."
"webme","26","20","1","In the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, someof the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me."
"webme","26","20","2","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","20","3","Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, Thus says theLord GOD: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says the LordGOD, I will not be inquired of by you. "
"webme","26","20","4","Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to knowthe abominations of their fathers; "
"webme","26","20","5","and tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD: In the day when I chose Israel,and swore to the offspring + or, seed of the house of Jacob, and mademyself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I amthe LORD your God; "
"webme","26","20","6","in that day I swore to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt intoa land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which isthe glory of all lands. "
"webme","26","20","7","I said to them, Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, anddon’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the LORD your God."
"webme","26","20","8","But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they eachdidn’t throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake theidols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplishmy anger against them in the middle of the land of Egypt."
"webme","26","20","9","But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in thesight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myselfknown to them, in bringing them out of the land of Egypt."
"webme","26","20","10","So I caused them to go out of the land of Egypt, and brought them intothe wilderness. "
"webme","26","20","11","I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a mandoes, he shall live in them. "
"webme","26","20","12","Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them,that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them."
"webme","26","20","13","But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: theydidn’t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a mankeep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then Isaid I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them."
"webme","26","20","14","But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in thesight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out."
"webme","26","20","15","Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bringthem into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, whichis the glory of all lands; "
"webme","26","20","16","because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, andprofaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols."
"webme","26","20","17","Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them, neither didI make a full end of them in the wilderness."
"webme","26","20","18","I said to their children in the wilderness, Don’t walk in the statutesof your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves withtheir idols. "
"webme","26","20","19","I am the LORD your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, anddo them; "
"webme","26","20","20","and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you,that you may know that I am the LORD your God."
"webme","26","20","21","But the children rebelled against me; they didn’t walk in my statutes,neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live inthem; they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath onthem, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness."
"webme","26","20","22","Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that itshould not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I broughtthem out. "
"webme","26","20","23","Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter themamong the nations, and disperse them through the countries;"
"webme","26","20","24","because they had not executed my ordinances, but had rejected mystatutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after theirfathers’ idols. "
"webme","26","20","25","Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances inwhich they should not live; "
"webme","26","20","26","and I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused all thatopens the womb to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate, tothe end that they might know that I am the LORD."
"webme","26","20","27","Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, Thussays the Lord GOD: In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in thatthey have committed a trespass against me."
"webme","26","20","28","For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give tothem, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offeredthere their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of theiroffering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out theretheir drink offerings. "
"webme","26","20","29","Then I said to them, What does the high place where you go mean? So itsname is called Bamah to this day. "
"webme","26","20","30","Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Do youpollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? and do you play the prostituteafter their abominations? "

"webme","26","23","1","the LORD’s word came again to me, saying,"
"webme","26","23","2","Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:"
"webme","26","23","3","and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute intheir youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosomof their virginity. "
"webme","26","23","4","Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and theybecame mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria isOholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah. "
"webme","26","23","5","Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on herlovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,"
"webme","26","23","6","who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirableyoung men, horsemen riding on horses. "
"webme","26","23","7","She gave herself as a prostitute to them, the choicest men of Assyria allof them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself."
"webme","26","23","8","Neither has she left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in heryouth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and theypoured out their prostitution on her. "
"webme","26","23","9","Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand ofthe Assyrians, on whom she doted. "
"webme","26","23","10","These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; andher they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for theyexecuted judgments on her. "
"webme","26","23","11","Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her dotingthan she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of hersister. "
"webme","26","23","12","She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothedmost gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men."
"webme","26","23","13","I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way."
"webme","26","23","14","She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall,the images of the Kasdim portrayed with vermilion,"
"webme","26","23","15","dressed with girdles on their waists, with flowing turbans on theirheads, all of them princes to look on, after the likeness of the Babyloniansin Kasdim, the land of their birth. "
"webme","26","23","16","As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to theminto Kasdimah. "
"webme","26","23","17","The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled herwith their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul wasalienated from them. "
"webme","26","23","18","So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then mysoul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister."
"webme","26","23","19","Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth,in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt."
"webme","26","23","20","She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys,and whose issue is like the issue of horses."
"webme","26","23","21","Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling ofyour bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth."
"webme","26","23","22","Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise upyour lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bringthem against you on every side: "
"webme","26","23","23","the Babylonians and all the Kasdim, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all theAssyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them,princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses."
"webme","26","23","24","They shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and witha company of peoples; they shall set themselves against you with buckler andshield and helmet all around; and I will commit the judgment to them, and theyshall judge you according to their judgments."
"webme","26","23","25","I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you infury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shallfall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and yourresidue shall be devoured by the fire. "
"webme","26","23","26","They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautifuljewels. "
"webme","26","23","27","Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitutionfrom the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, norremember Egypt any more. "
"webme","26","23","28","For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hand ofthem whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;"
"webme","26","23","29","and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all yourlabor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of yourprostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution."
"webme","26","23","30","These things shall be done to you, because you have played theprostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols."
"webme","26","23","31","You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore will I give her cupinto your hand. "
"webme","26","23","32","Thus says the Lord GOD: You will drink of your sister’s cup, which isdeep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much."
"webme","26","23","33","You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup ofastonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria."
"webme","26","23","34","You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the brokenpieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it, says the LordGOD. "
"webme","26","23","35","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have forgotten me, andcast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and yourprostitution. "
"webme","26","23","36","The LORD said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah andOholibah? then declare to them their abominations."
"webme","26","23","37","For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and withtheir idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused theirsons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured."
"webme","26","23","38","Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary inthe same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths."
"webme","26","23","39","For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they camethe same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, thus have they donein the middle of my house. "
"webme","26","23","40","Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messengerwas sent, and behold, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint youreyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,"
"webme","26","23","41","and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon youset my incense and my oil. "
"webme","26","23","42","The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of thecommon sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put braceletson their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads."
"webme","26","23","43","Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now they will play theprostitute with her, and she with them."
"webme","26","23","44","They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in toOholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women."
"webme","26","23","45","Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses,and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses,and blood is in their hands. "
"webme","26","23","46","For thus says the Lord GOD: I will bring up a company against them, andwill give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed."
"webme","26","23","47","The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with theirswords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up theirhouses with fire. "
"webme","26","23","48","Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women maybe taught not to do after your lewdness."
"webme","26","23","49","They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sinsof your idols; and you shall know that I am the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","24","1","Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of themonth, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","24","2","Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylondrew close to Jerusalem this same day. "
"webme","26","24","3","Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, Thus says theLord GOD, Set on the cauldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:"
"webme","26","24","4","gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and theshoulder; fill it with the choice bones."
"webme","26","24","5","Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones underthe cauldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled within it."
"webme","26","24","6","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldronwhose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! take out of itpiece after piece; No lot is fallen on it."
"webme","26","24","7","For her blood is in the middle of her; she set it on the bare rock; shedidn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust."
"webme","26","24","8","That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set herblood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered."
"webme","26","24","9","Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also willmake the pile great. "
"webme","26","24","10","Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thickthe broth, and let the bones be burned."
"webme","26","24","11","Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its brass mayburn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may beconsumed. "
"webme","26","24","12","She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leaveher. "
"webme","26","24","13","In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and youweren’t cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more,until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest."
"webme","26","24","14","I, the LORD, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I willnot go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to yourways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord GOD."
"webme","26","24","15","Also the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","24","16","Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyeswith a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tearsrun down. "
"webme","26","24","17","Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdresson you, and put your shoes on your feet, and don’t cover your lips, and don’teat men’s bread. "
"webme","26","24","18","So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at evening my wife died;and I did in the morning as I was commanded."
"webme","26","24","19","The people said to me, Won’t you tell us what these things are to us,that you do so? "
"webme","26","24","20","Then I said to them, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"
"webme","26","24","21","Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I willprofane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, andthat which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you haveleft behind shall fall by the sword. "

"webme","26","24","27","In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and youshall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and theyshall know that I am the LORD. "
"webme","26","25","1","the LORD’s word came to me, saying,"

The king answered, Belteshazzar, don’t let thedream, or the interpretation, trouble you. Belteshazzar answered, My lord, thedream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your adversaries."
"webme","27","4","20","The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reachedto the sky, and its sight to all the earth;"
"webme","27","4","21","whose leaves were beautiful, and its fruit much, and in it was food forall; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches thebirds of the sky had their habitation: "
"webme","27","4","22","it is you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatnessis grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the earth."
"webme","27","4","23","Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky,and saying, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump ofits roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tendergrass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let hisportion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him;"
"webme","27","4","24","this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the MostHigh, which has come on my lord the king:"
"webme","27","4","25","that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with theanimals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall bewet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until youknow that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomeverhe will. "
"webme","27","4","26","Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; yourkingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shall have known that the heavensdo rule. "
"webme","27","4","27","Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break offyour sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor;if there may be a lengthening of your tranquility."
"webme","27","4","28","All this came on the king Nebuchadnezzar."
"webme","27","4","29","At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace ofBabylon. "
"webme","27","4","30","The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have builtfor the royal dwelling place, by the might of my power and for the glory of mymajesty? "
"webme","27","4","31","While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice came from the sky,saying, “O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departedfrom you. "
"webme","27","4","32","You shall be driven from men; and your dwelling shall be with theanimals of the field. You shall be made to eat grass as oxen. Seven timesshall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom ofmen, and gives it to whomever he will.”"
"webme","27","4","33","This was fulfilled the same hour on Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven frommen, and ate grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky,until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’claws. "
"webme","27","4","34","At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven,and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and Ipraised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlastingdominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation."
"webme","27","4","35","All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he doesaccording to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of theearth; and no one can stay his hand, or ask him, What are you doing?"
"webme","27","4","36","At the same time my understanding returned to me; and for the glory ofmy kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned to me; and my counselors and mylords sought to me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellentgreatness was added to me. "
"webme","27","4","37","Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven;for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those who walk in pridehe is able to abase. "
"webme","27","5","1","Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, anddrank wine before the thousand. "
"webme","27","5","2","Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden andsilver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the templewhich was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and hisconcubines, might drink from them. "
"webme","27","5","3","Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple ofGod’s house which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives andhis concubines, drank from them. "
"webme","27","5","4","They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass,of iron, of wood, and of stone. "
"webme","27","5","5","In the same hour, the fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote near thelamp stand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace. The king saw thepart of the hand that wrote. "
"webme","27","5","6","Then the king’s face was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him;and the joints of his thighs were loosened, and his knees struck one againstanother. "
"webme","27","5","7","The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Kasdim, and thesoothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shallread this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed withpurple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third rulerin the kingdom. "
"webme","27","5","8","Then came in all the king’s wise men; but they could not read thewriting, nor make known to the king the interpretation."
"webme","27","5","9","Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his face was changed inhim, and his lords were perplexed. "
"webme","27","5","10","The queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into thebanquet house: the queen spoke and said, O king, live forever; don’t let yourthoughts trouble you, nor let your face be changed."
"webme","27","5","11","There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods;and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like thewisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar yourfather, the king, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters,Kasdim, and soothsayers; "
"webme","27","5","12","because an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding,interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving ofdoubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Nowlet Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."
"webme","27","5","13","Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said toDaniel, Are you that Daniel, who are of the children of the captivity ofJudah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?"
"webme","27","5","14","I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and thatlight and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you."
"webme","27","5","15","Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, thatthey should read this writing, and make known to me its interpretation; butthey could not show the interpretation of the thing."
"webme","27","5","16","But I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations, and dissolvedoubts; now if you can read the writing, and make known to me itsinterpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of goldabout your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"webme","27","5","17","Then Daniel answered before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, andgive your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to theking, and make known to him the interpretation."
"webme","27","5","18","You, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father thekingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:"
"webme","27","5","19","and because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations,and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he killed, andwhom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he wouldhe put down. "
"webme","27","5","20","But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that hedealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his gloryfrom him: "
"webme","27","5","21","and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like theanimals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys; he was fed with grasslike oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew thatthe Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over itwhomever he will. "
"webme","27","5","22","You, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knewall this, "
"webme","27","5","23","but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they havebrought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, yourwives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them; and you have praised thegods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, norhear, nor know; and the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are allyour ways, you have not glorified. "
"webme","27","5","24","Then was the part of the hand sent from before him, and this writing wasinscribed. "
"webme","27","5","25","This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."
"webme","27","5","26","This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God has numbered yourkingdom, and brought it to an end; "
"webme","27","5","27","TEKEL; you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting."
"webme","27","5","28","PERES; your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."
"webme","27","5","29","Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and puta chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that heshould be the third ruler in the kingdom."
"webme","27","5","30","In that night Belshazzar the Kasdian King was slain."
"webme","27","5","31","Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old."
"webme","27","6","1","It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred twenty satraps, whoshould be throughout the whole kingdom;"
"webme","27","6","2","and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that thesesatraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage."
"webme","27","6","3","Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps,because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him overthe whole realm. "
"webme","27","6","4","Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion againstDaniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault,because he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him."
"webme","27","6","5","Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel,except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."
"webme","27","6","6","Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, andsaid thus to him, King Darius, live forever."
"webme","27","6","7","All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, thecounselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royalstatute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of anygod or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into theden of lions. "
"webme","27","6","8","Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it not bechanged, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter."
"webme","27","6","9","Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree."
"webme","27","6","10","When Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house(now his windows were open in his room toward Jerusalem) and he kneeled on hisknees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he didbefore. "
"webme","27","6","11","Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition andsupplication before his God. "
"webme","27","6","12","Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king’sdecree: Haven’t you signed an decree, that every man who shall make petitionto any god or man within thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be castinto the den of lions? The king answered, The thing is true, according to thelaw of the Medes and Persians, which doesn’t alter."
"webme","27","6","13","Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of thechildren of the captivity of Judah, doesn’t respect you, O king, nor thedecree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."
"webme","27","6","14","Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased, and sethis heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored until the going down of thesun to rescue him. "
"webme","27","6","15","Then these men assembled together to the king, and said to the king,Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree norstatute which the king establishes may be changed."
"webme","27","6","16","Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into theden of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Your God whom you servecontinually, he will deliver you. "
"webme","27","6","17","A stone was brought, and laid on the mouth of the den; and the kingsealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothingmight be changed concerning Daniel. "
"webme","27","6","18","Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neitherwere instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him."
"webme","27","6","19","Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste to theden of lions. "
"webme","27","6","20","When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentablevoice; the king spoke and said to Daniel, Daniel, servant of the living God,is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?"
"webme","27","6","21","Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever."
"webme","27","6","22","My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they havenot hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also beforeyou, O king, have I done no hurt. "
"webme","27","6","23","Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should takeDaniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kindof harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God."
"webme","27","6","24","The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel,and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and theirwives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, beforethey came to the bottom of the den. "
"webme","27","6","25","Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, whodwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you."
"webme","27","6","26","I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble andfear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfastforever, His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shallbe even to the end. "
"webme","27","6","27","He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and inearth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
"webme","27","6","28","So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign ofCyrus the Persian. "
"webme","27","7","1","In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream andvisions of his head on his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum ofthe matters. "
"webme","27","7","2","Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the fourwinds of the sky broke out on the great sea."
"webme","27","7","3","Four great animals came up from the sea, diverse one from another."
"webme","27","7","4","The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I saw until its wingswere plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand on twofeet as a man; and a man’s heart was given to it."
"webme","27","7","5","Behold, another animal, a second, like a bear; and it was raised up onone side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth: and they saidthus to it, Arise, devour much flesh. "
"webme","27","7","6","After this I saw, and behold, another, like a leopard, which had on itsback four wings of a bird; the animal had also four heads; and dominion wasgiven to it. "
"webme","27","7","7","After this I saw in the night visions, and, behold, a fourth animal,awesome and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; itdevoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and itwas diverse from all the animals that were before it; and it had ten horns."
"webme","27","7","8","I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them anotherhorn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up bythe roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and amouth speaking great things. "
"webme","27","7","9","I saw until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat: hisclothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; histhrone was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire."
"webme","27","7","10","A fiery stream issued and came out from before him: thousands ofthousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood beforehim: the judgment was set, and the books were opened."
"webme","27","7","11","I saw at that time because of the voice of the great words which thehorn spoke; I saw even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, andit was given to be burned with fire. "
"webme","27","7","12","As for the rest of the animals, their dominion was taken away: yet theirlives were prolonged for a season and a time."
"webme","27","7","13","I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds ofthe sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, andthey brought him near before him. "
"webme","27","7","14","There was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all thepeoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is aneverlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that whichshall not be destroyed. "
"webme","27","7","15","As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved within my body, and the visionsof my head troubled me. "
"webme","27","7","16","I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truthconcerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of thethings. "
"webme","27","7","17","These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise outof the earth. "
"webme","27","7","18","But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, andpossess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever."
"webme","27","7","19","Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which wasdiverse from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, andits nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residuewith its feet; "
"webme","27","7","20","and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other hornwhich came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, anda mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows."
"webme","27","7","21","I saw, and the same horn made war with the holy ones, and prevailedagainst them; "
"webme","27","7","22","until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the holy onesof the Most High, and the time came that the holy ones possessed the kingdom."
"webme","27","7","23","Thus he said, The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the wholeearth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces."
"webme","27","7","24","As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: andanother shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, andhe shall put down three kings. "
"webme","27","7","25","He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the holyones of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; andthey shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time."
"webme","27","7","26","But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, toconsume and to destroy it to the end. "
"webme","27","7","27","The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms underthe whole sky, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High:his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obeyhim. "
"webme","27","7","28","Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts muchtroubled me, and my face was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart."
"webme","27","8","1","In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared tome, even to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first."
"webme","27","8","2","I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadelof Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I wasby the river Ulai. "
"webme","27","8","3","Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before theriver a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one washigher than the other, and the higher came up last."
"webme","27","8","4","I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and noanimals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out ofhis hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself."
"webme","27","8","5","As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west over thesurface of the whole earth, and didn’t touch the ground: and the goat had anotable horn between his eyes. "
"webme","27","8","6","He came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing beforethe river, and ran on him in the fury of his power."
"webme","27","8","7","I saw him come close to the ram, and he was moved with anger against him,and struck the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ramto stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled on him;and there was no one who could deliver the ram out of his hand."
"webme","27","8","8","The male goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, thegreat horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable hornstoward the four winds of the sky. "
"webme","27","8","9","Out of one of them came out a little horn, which grew exceeding great,toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land."
"webme","27","8","10","It grew great, even to the army of the sky; and some of the army and ofthe stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled on them."
"webme","27","8","11","Yes, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the army; and it tookaway from him the continual burnt offering, and the place of his sanctuary wascast down. "
"webme","27","8","12","The army was given over to it together with the continual burnt offeringthrough disobedience; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did itspleasure and prospered. "
"webme","27","8","13","Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to thatcertain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision about the continual burntoffering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuaryand the army to be trodden under foot? "
"webme","27","8","14","He said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings;then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. "
"webme","27","8","15","When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it;and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man."
"webme","27","8","16","I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, andsaid, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision."
"webme","27","8","17","So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, andfell on my face: but he said to me, Understand, son of man; for the visionbelongs to the time of the end. "
"webme","27","8","18","Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my facetoward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright."
"webme","27","8","19","He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter timeof the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end."
"webme","27","8","20","The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings ofMedia and Persia. "
"webme","27","8","21","The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that isbetween his eyes is the first king. "
"webme","27","8","22","As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, fourkingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power."
"webme","27","8","23","In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come tothe full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall standup. "
"webme","27","8","24","His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shalldestroy wonderfully, and shall prosper in what he does; and he shall destroythe mighty ones and the holy people. "
"webme","27","8","25","Through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and heshall magnify himself in his heart, and he shall destroy many in theirsecurity. He shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shallbe broken without hand. "
"webme","27","8","26","The vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true: butseal up the vision; for it belongs to many days to come."
"webme","27","8","27","I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and didthe king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but no one understood it."
"webme","27","9","1","In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of theoffspring + or, seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm ofthe Kasdim, "
"webme","27","9","2","in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books thenumber of the years about which the LORD’sword + When rendered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, “LORD” or “GOD” is thetranslation of God’s Proper Name.  came to Jeremiah the prophet, for theaccomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years."
"webme","27","9","3","I set my face to the Lord God, to seek by prayer and petitions, withfasting and sackcloth and ashes. "
"webme","27","9","4","I prayed to the LORD my God, and made confession, and said, Oh, Lord, thegreat and dreadful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those wholove him and keep his commandments, "
"webme","27","9","5","we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, andhave rebelled, even turning aside from your precepts and from your ordinances;"
"webme","27","9","6","neither have we listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in yourname to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of theland. "
"webme","27","9","7","Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as it istoday; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to allIsrael, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where youhave driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed againstyou. "
"webme","27","9","8","Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, andto our fathers, because we have sinned against you."
"webme","27","9","9","To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelledagainst him; "
"webme","27","9","10","neither have we obeyed the LORD our God’s voice, to walk in his laws,which he set before us by his servants the prophets."
"webme","27","9","11","Yes, all Israel have transgressed your law, turning aside, that theyshould not obey your voice: therefore the curse and the oath written in theTorah of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us; for we havesinned against him. "
"webme","27","9","12","He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us, and against ourjudges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil; for under the whole sky,such has not been done as has been done to Jerusalem."
"webme","27","9","13","As it is written in the Torah of Moses, all this evil has come on us:yet have we not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, that we should turnfrom our iniquities, and have discernment in your truth."
"webme","27","9","14","Therefore has the LORD watched over the evil, and brought it on us; forthe LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does, and we have notobeyed his voice. "

"webme","40","25","43"," I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’tclothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visitme.’ "
"webme","40","25","44"," “Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see youhungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn’thelp you?’ "
"webme","40","25","45"," “Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Most certainly I tell you,because you didn’t do it to one of the least of these, you didn’t do it tome.’  "
"webme","40","25","46"," These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous intoeternal life.” "
"webme","40","26","1","When Yeshua had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,"
"webme","40","26","2"," “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son ofMan will be delivered up to be crucified.”"
"webme","40","26","3","Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people weregathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas."
"webme","40","26","4","They took counsel together that they might take Yeshua by deceit, andkill him. "
"webme","40","26","5","But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among thepeople.” "
"webme","40","26","6","Now when Yeshua was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,"
"webme","40","26","7","a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment,and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table."
"webme","40","26","8","But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why thiswaste? "
"webme","40","26","9","For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.”"
"webme","40","26","10","However, knowing this, Yeshua said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? Because she has done a good work for me. "
"webme","40","26","11"," For you always have the poor with you; but you don’t always haveme.  "
"webme","40","26","12"," For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare mefor burial.  "
"webme","40","26","13"," Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached inthe whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorialof her.” "
"webme","40","26","14","Then one of the twelve, who was called Judah Iscariot, went to the chiefpriests, "
"webme","40","26","15","and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him toyou?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver."
"webme","40","26","16","From that time he sought opportunity to betray him."
"webme","40","26","17","Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Yeshua,saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”"
"webme","40","26","18","He said,  “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘TheRabbi says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house withmy disciples.”’” "
"webme","40","26","19","The disciples did as Yeshua commanded them, and they prepared thePassover. "
"webme","40","26","20","Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelvedisciples. "
"webme","40","26","21","As they were eating, he said,  “Most certainly I tell you that one ofyou will betray me.” "
"webme","40","26","22","They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’tme, is it, Lord?” "
"webme","40","26","23","He answered,  “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the samewill betray me.  "
"webme","40","26","24"," The Son of Man goes, even as it is written of him, but woe to thatman through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that manif he had not been born.” "
"webme","40","26","25","Judah, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?”"
"webme","40","26","26","As they were eating, Yeshua took bread, gave thanksfor + TR reads “blessed” instead of “gave thanksfor” it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” "
"webme","40","26","27","He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,  "
"webme","40","26","28"," for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out formany for the remission of sins.  "
"webme","40","26","29"," But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine fromnow on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” "
"webme","40","26","30","When they had sung the Hallel, they went out to the Mount of Olives."
"webme","40","26","31","Then Yeshua said to them,  “All of you will be made to stumblebecause of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and thesheep of the flock will be scattered.’ + Zechariah13:7 "
"webme","40","26","32"," But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.” "
"webme","40","26","33","But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because ofyou, I will never be made to stumble.” "
"webme","40","26","34","Yeshua said to him,  “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, beforethe rooster crows, you will deny me threetimes.” "
"webme","40","26","35","Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.”All of the disciples also said likewise."
"webme","40","26","36","Then Yeshua came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to hisdisciples,  “Sit here, while I go there andpray.” "
"webme","40","26","37","He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to besorrowful and severely troubled. "
"webme","40","26","38","Then he said to them,  “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even todeath. Stay here, and watch with me.”"
"webme","40","26","39","He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me;nevertheless, not what I desire, but what youdesire.” "
"webme","40","26","40","He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour? "
"webme","40","26","41"," Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spiritindeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”"
"webme","40","26","42","Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, yourdesire be done.”  "
"webme","40","26","43","He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy."
"webme","40","26","44","He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the samewords. "
"webme","40","26","45","Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and theSon of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. "
"webme","40","26","46"," Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.” "
"webme","40","26","47","While he was still speaking, behold, Judah, one of the twelve, came, andwith him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests andelders of the people. "
"webme","40","26","48","Now he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he isthe one. Seize him.” "
"webme","40","26","49","Immediately he came to Yeshua, and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed him."
"webme","40","26","50","Yeshua said to him,  “Friend, why are youhere?” Then they came and laid hands on Yeshua, and took him."
"webme","40","26","51","Behold, one of those who were with Yeshua stretched out his hand, anddrew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off hisear. "
"webme","40","26","52","Then Yeshua said to him,  “Put your sword back into its place, forall those who take the sword will die by the sword. "
"webme","40","26","53"," Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would evennow send me more than twelve legions of angels? "
"webme","40","26","54"," How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?” "
"webme","40","26","55","In that hour Yeshua said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me?I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. "
"webme","40","26","56"," But all this has happened, that the Scriptures of the prophetsmight be fulfilled.” "
"webme","40","26","57","Those who had taken Yeshua led him away to Caiaphas the high priest,where the scribes and the elders were gathered together."
"webme","40","26","58","But Peter followed him from a distance, to the court of the high priest,and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end."
"webme","40","26","59","Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought falsetestimony against Yeshua, that they might put him to death;"
"webme","40","26","60","and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, theyfound none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,"
"webme","40","26","61","and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, andto build it in three days.’” "
"webme","40","26","62","The high priest stood up, and said to him, “Have you no answer? What isthis that these testify against you?” "
"webme","40","26","63","But Yeshua held his peace. The high priest answered him, “I adjure youby the living God, that you tell us whether you are the Messiah, the Son ofGod.” "
"webme","40","26","64","Yeshua said to him,  “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you,after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, andcoming on the clouds of the sky.” "
"webme","40","26","65","Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spokenblasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard hisblasphemy. "
"webme","40","26","66","What do you think?” "
"webme","40","26","67","Then they spit in his face and beat him with their fists, and someslapped him, "
"webme","40","26","68","saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you?”"
"webme","40","26","69","Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him,saying, “You were also with Yeshua, the Galilean!”"
"webme","40","26","70","But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you aretalking about.” "
"webme","40","26","71","When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said tothose who were there, “This man also was with Yeshua of Nazareth.”"
"webme","40","26","72","Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”"
"webme","40","26","73","After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surelyyou are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”"
"webme","40","26","74","Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!”"
"webme","40","26","75","Peter remembered the word which Yeshua had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me threetimes.” He went out and wept bitterly."
"webme","40","27","1","Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of thepeople took counsel against Yeshua to put him to death:"
"webme","40","27","2","and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to PontiusPilate, the governor. "
"webme","40","27","3","Then Judah, who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, feltremorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests andelders, "
"webme","40","27","4","saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.”"
"webme","40","27","5","He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. Hewent away and hanged himself. "
"webme","40","27","6","The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawfulto put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”"
"webme","40","27","7","They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to burystrangers in. "
"webme","40","27","8","Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day."
"webme","40","27","9","Then that which was spoken throughJeremiah + some manuscripts omit “Jeremiah” the prophet was fulfilled,saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver,the price of him upon whom a price had been set,whom some of the children of Israel priced,"
"webme","40","27","10","and they gave them for the potter’s field,as the Lord commanded me.” + Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19:1-13;32:6-9 "
"webme","40","27","11","Now Yeshua stood before the governor: and the governor asked him,saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?”"
"webme","40","27","12","When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answerednothing. "
"webme","40","27","13","Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testifyagainst you?” "
"webme","40","27","14","He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveledgreatly. "
"webme","40","27","15","Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitudeone prisoner, whom they desired. "
"webme","40","27","16","They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas."
"webme","40","27","17","When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whomdo you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Yeshua, who is called Messiah?”"
"webme","40","27","18","For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up."
"webme","40","27","19","While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying,“Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many thingstoday in a dream because of him.” "
"webme","40","27","20","Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask forBarabbas, and destroy Yeshua. "
"webme","40","27","21","But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me torelease to you?” "
"webme","40","27","22","Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Yeshua, who is calledMessiah?” "
"webme","40","27","23","But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?”"
"webme","40","27","24","So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that adisturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before themultitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. Yousee to it.” "
"webme","40","27","25","All the people answered, “May his blood be on us, and on our children!”"
"webme","40","27","26","Then he released to them Barabbas, but Yeshua he flogged and deliveredto be crucified. "
"webme","40","27","27","Then the governor’s soldiers took Yeshua into the Praetorium, andgathered the whole garrison together against him."
"webme","40","27","28","They stripped him, and put a scarlet robe on him."
"webme","40","27","29","They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in hisright hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail,King of the Jews!” "
"webme","40","27","30","They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head."
"webme","40","27","31","When they had mocked him, they took the robe off of him, and put hisclothes on him, and led him away to crucify him."
"webme","40","27","32","As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and theycompelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross."
"webme","40","27","33","When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The placeof a skull,” "
"webme","40","27","34","they gave him sour wine + or, vinegar to drink mixed with gall.When he had tasted it, he would not drink."

"webme","40","27","36","and they sat and watched him there."
"webme","40","27","37","They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS ISYESHUA, THE KING OF THE JEWS.” "
"webme","40","27","38","Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right handand one on the left. "
"webme","40","27","39","Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,"
"webme","40","27","40","and saying, “You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days,save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”"
"webme","40","27","41","Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, thePharisees, + TR omits “the Pharisees” and the elders, said,"

"webme","40","27","44","The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the samereproach. "
"webme","40","27","45","Now from the sixth hour + noon there was darkness over all the landuntil the ninth hour. + 3:00 P. M."
"webme","40","27","46","About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima + TR reads “lama” instead of“lima”  sabachthani?”  That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsakenme?” + Psalm 22:1 "
"webme","40","27","47","Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man iscalling Elijah.” "
"webme","40","27","48","Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it withvinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink."
"webme","40","27","49","The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”"
"webme","40","27","50","Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit."
"webme","40","27","51","Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to thebottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split."
"webme","40","27","52","The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the holy ones who had fallenasleep were raised; "
"webme","40","27","53","and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered intothe holy city and appeared to many. "
"webme","40","27","54","Now the centurion, and those who were with him watching Yeshua, whenthey saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly,saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”"
"webme","40","27","55","Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Yeshua fromGalilee, serving him. "
"webme","40","27","56","Among them were Miriam Magdalene, Miriam the mother of Jacob and Yosi,and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. "
"webme","40","27","57","When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, whohimself was also Yeshua’s disciple came."
"webme","40","27","58","This man went to Pilate, and asked for Yeshua’s body. Then Pilatecommanded the body to be given up. "

"webme","40","27","61","Miriam Magdalene was there, and the other Miriam, sitting opposite thetomb. "
"webme","40","27","62","Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, thechief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,"

"webme","40","28","9","As they went to tell his disciples, behold, Yeshua met them, saying, “Rejoice!” "
"webme","40","28","10","Then Yeshua said to them,  “Don’t be afraid. Go tell my brothers + The word for “brothers” here may be also correctly translated“brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that they should go into Galilee, and there they will seeme.” "
"webme","40","28","11","Now while they were going, behold, some of the guards came into thecity, and told the chief priests all the things that had happened."

"webme","41","1","28","The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region ofGalilee and its surrounding area. "
"webme","41","1","29","Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into thehouse of Simon and Andrew, with Jacob and Yochanan."
"webme","41","1","30","Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately theytold him about her. "
"webme","41","1","31","He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her,and she served them. "
"webme","41","1","32","At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick,and those who were possessed by demons."
"webme","41","1","33","All the city was gathered together at the door."
"webme","41","1","34","He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out manydemons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him."
"webme","41","1","35","Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out,and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there."
"webme","41","1","36","Simon and those who were with him followed after him;"
"webme","41","1","37","and they found him, and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”"
"webme","41","1","38","He said to them,  “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I mayproclaim there also, because I came out for thisreason.” "
"webme","41","1","39","He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, proclaiming andcasting out demons. "
"webme","41","1","40","A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying tohim, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”"
"webme","41","1","41","Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him,and said to him,  “I want to. Be madeclean.” "
"webme","41","1","42","When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and hewas made clean. "
"webme","41","1","43","He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,"
"webme","41","1","44","and said to him,  “See you say nothing to anybody, but go showyourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Mosescommanded, for a testimony to them.”"
"webme","41","1","45","But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about thematter, so that Yeshua could no more openly enter into a city, but was outsidein desert places: and they came to him from everywhere."
"webme","41","2","1","When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard thathe was in the house. "
"webme","41","2","2","Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room,not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them."
"webme","41","2","3","Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him."
"webme","41","2","4","When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roofwhere he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that theparalytic was lying on. "
"webme","41","2","5","Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”"
"webme","41","2","6","But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in theirhearts, "
"webme","41","2","7","“Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins butGod alone?” "
"webme","41","2","8","Immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned withinthemselves, said to them,  “Why do you reason these things in your hearts? "
"webme","41","2","9"," Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ orto say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ "
"webme","41","2","10"," But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth toforgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—"
"webme","41","2","11"," “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” "
"webme","41","2","12","He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of themall; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never sawanything like this!” "
"webme","41","2","13","He went out again by the seaside. All the multitude came to him, and hetaught them. "
"webme","41","2","14","As he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Halfai, sitting at the taxoffice, and he said to him,  “Followme.” And he arose and followed him."
"webme","41","2","15","He was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors andsinners sat down with Yeshua and his disciples, for there were many, and theyfollowed him. "
"webme","41","2","16","The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with thesinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, “Why is it that he eats anddrinks with tax collectors and sinners?”"
"webme","41","2","17","When Yeshua heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who aresick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners torepentance.” "
"webme","41","2","18","Yochanan’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came andasked him, “Why do Yochanan’s disciples and the disciples of the Phariseesfast, but your disciples don’t fast?” "
"webme","41","2","19","Yeshua said to them,  “Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom iswith them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they can’t fast. "
"webme","41","2","20"," But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away fromthem, and then will they fast in that day. "
"webme","41","2","21"," No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or elsethe patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole ismade.  "
"webme","41","2","22"," No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine willburst the skins, and the wine pours out, and the skins will be destroyed; butthey put new wine into fresh wineskins.”"
"webme","41","2","23","He was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and hisdisciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain."
"webme","41","2","24","The Pharisees said to him, “Behold, why do they do that which is notlawful on the Sabbath day?” "
"webme","41","2","25","He said to them,  “Did you never read what David did, when he hadneed, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him? "
"webme","41","2","26"," How he entered into God’s house when Abiathar was high priest, andate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, andgave also to those who were with him?”"
"webme","41","2","27","He said to them,  “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for theSabbath.  "
"webme","41","2","28"," Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of theSabbath.” "
"webme","41","3","1","He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who hadhis hand withered. "
"webme","41","3","2","They watched him, whether he would heal him on the Sabbath day, that theymight accuse him. "
"webme","41","3","3","He said to the man who had his hand withered, “Stand up.” "
"webme","41","3","4","He said to them,  “Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or todo harm? To save a life, or to kill?” But they were silent."
"webme","41","3","5","When he had looked around at them with anger, being grieved at thehardening of their hearts, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.”  He stretched it out, and his hand wasrestored as healthy as the other. "
"webme","41","3","6","The Pharisees went out, and immediately conspired with the Herodiansagainst him, how they might destroy him."
"webme","41","3","7","Yeshua withdrew to the sea with his disciples, and a great multitudefollowed him from Galilee, from Judea, "
"webme","41","3","8","from Jerusalem, from Idumaea, beyond the Jordan, and those from aroundTyre and Sidon. A great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came tohim. "
"webme","41","3","9","He spoke to his disciples that a little boat should stay near him becauseof the crowd, so that they wouldn’t press on him."
"webme","41","3","10","For he had healed many, so that as many as had diseases pressed on himthat they might touch him. "
"webme","41","3","11","The unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, andcried, “You are the Son of God!” "
"webme","41","3","12","He sternly warned them that they should not make him known."
"webme","41","3","13","He went up into the mountain, and called to himself those whom hewanted, and they went to him. "
"webme","41","3","14","He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might sendthem out to proclaim, "
"webme","41","3","15","and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:"
"webme","41","3","16","Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;"
"webme","41","3","17","Jacob the son of Zebedee; Yochanan, the brother of Jacob, and he calledthem Benei-Regesh, which means, Sons of Thunder;"
"webme","41","3","18","Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; Jacob, the son of Halfai;Taddai; Simon the Zealot; "
"webme","41","3","19","and Judah Iscariot, who also betrayed him."
"webme","41","3","20","The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eatbread. "
"webme","41","3","21","When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said,“He is insane.” "
"webme","41","3","22","The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul,” and,“By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons.”"
"webme","41","3","23","He summoned them, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? "
"webme","41","3","24"," If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. "
"webme","41","3","25"," If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. "
"webme","41","3","26"," If Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he can’tstand, but has an end.  "
"webme","41","3","27"," But no one can enter into the house of the strong man to plunder,unless he first binds the strong man; and then he will plunder his house. "
"webme","41","3","28"," Most certainly I tell you, all sins of the descendants of man willbe forgiven, including their blasphemies with which they may blaspheme; "
"webme","41","3","29"," but whoever may blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never hasforgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.” + NU reads, guilty ofan eternal sin.  "
"webme","41","3","30","—because they said, “He has an unclean spirit.”"
"webme","41","3","31","His mother and his brothers came, and standing outside, they sent tohim, calling him. "
"webme","41","3","32","A multitude was sitting around him, and they told him, “Behold, yourmother, your brothers, and your sisters + TR omits “yoursisters” are outside looking for you.”"
"webme","41","3","33","He answered them,  “Who are my mother and mybrothers?” "
"webme","41","3","34","Looking around at those who sat around him, he said, “Behold, my mother and my brothers! "
"webme","41","3","35"," For whoever does the will of God, the same is my brother, and mysister, and mother.” "
"webme","41","4","1","Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered tohim, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All themultitude were on the land by the sea. "
"webme","41","4","2","He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,"
"webme","41","4","3"," “Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow, "
"webme","41","4","4"," and as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and thebirds + TR adds “of the air”  came and devoured it. "
"webme","41","4","5"," Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, andimmediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil. "
"webme","41","4","6"," When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root,it withered away.  "
"webme","41","4","7"," Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it,and it yielded no fruit.  "
"webme","41","4","8"," Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up andincreasing. Some produced thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundredtimes as much.” "
"webme","41","4","9","He said,  “Whoever has ears to hear, let himhear.” "
"webme","41","4","10","When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked himabout the parables. "
"webme","41","4","11","He said to them,  “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, butto those who are outside, all things are done in parables, "
"webme","41","4","12"," that ‘seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they mayhear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should turn again, and their sinsshould be forgiven them.’” + Isaiah6:9-10 "
"webme","41","4","13","He said to them,  “Don’t you understand this parable? How will youunderstand all of the parables?  "
"webme","41","4","14"," The farmer sows the word. "
"webme","41","4","15"," The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and whenthey have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which hasbeen sown in them.  "
"webme","41","4","16"," These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places,who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. "
"webme","41","4","17"," They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. Whenoppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately theystumble.  "
"webme","41","4","18"," Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those whohave heard the word,  "
"webme","41","4","19"," and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and thelusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. "
"webme","41","4","20"," Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear theword, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, andsome one hundred times.” "
"webme","41","4","21","He said to them,  “Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket + literally, a modion, a dry measuring basket containing about a peck(about 9 liters)  or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand? "
"webme","41","4","22"," For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known;neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. "
"webme","41","4","23"," If any man has ears to hear, let himhear.” "
"webme","41","4","24","He said to them,  “Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure youmeasure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you who hear. "
"webme","41","4","25"," For whoever has, to him will more be given, and he who doesn’thave, even that which he has will be taken away fromhim.” "
"webme","41","4","26","He said,  “God’s Kingdom is as if a man should cast seed on theearth,  "
"webme","41","4","27"," and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should springup and grow, he doesn’t know how.  "
"webme","41","4","28"," For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then thefull grain in the ear.  "
"webme","41","4","29"," But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts in the sickle,because the harvest has come.” "
"webme","41","4","30","He said,  “How will we liken God’s Kingdom? Or with what parable willwe illustrate it?  "
"webme","41","4","31"," It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in theearth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, "
"webme","41","4","32"," yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all theherbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodgeunder its shadow.” "
"webme","41","4","33","With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able tohear it. "
"webme","41","4","34","Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his owndisciples he explained everything. "
"webme","41","4","35","On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.”"
"webme","41","4","36","Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in theboat. Other small boats were also with him."
"webme","41","4","37","A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much thatthe boat was already filled. "
"webme","41","4","38","He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke himup, and told him, “Rabbi, don’t you care that we are dying?”"
"webme","41","4","39","He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm."
"webme","41","4","40","He said to them,  “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have nofaith?” "
"webme","41","4","41","They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this,that even the wind and the sea obey him?”"
"webme","41","5","1","They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of theGadarenes. "
"webme","41","5","2","When he had come out of the boat, immediately a man with an uncleanspirit met him out of the tombs. "
"webme","41","5","3","He lived in the tombs. Nobody could bind him any more, not even withchains, "
"webme","41","5","4","because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chainshad been torn apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Nobody had thestrength to tame him. "
"webme","41","5","5","Always, night and day, in the tombs and in the mountains, he was cryingout, and cutting himself with stones. "
"webme","41","5","6","When he saw Yeshua from afar, he ran and bowed down to him,"
"webme","41","5","7","and crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have I to do with you,Yeshua, you Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, don’t torment me.”"
"webme","41","5","8","For he said to him,  “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” "
"webme","41","5","9","He asked him,  “What is your name?”"
"webme","41","5","10","He begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country."
"webme","41","5","11","Now on the mountainside there was a great herd of pigs feeding."
"webme","41","5","12","All the demons begged him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, that we mayenter into them.” "
"webme","41","5","13","At once Yeshua gave them permission. The unclean spirits came out andentered into the pigs. The herd of about two thousand rushed down the steepbank into the sea, and they were drowned in the sea."
"webme","41","5","14","Those who fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the country."
"webme","41","5","15","They came to Yeshua, and saw him who had been possessed by demonssitting, clothed, and in his right mind, even him who had the legion; and theywere afraid. "
"webme","41","5","16","Those who saw it declared to them what happened to him who was possessedby demons, and about the pigs. "
"webme","41","5","17","They began to beg him to depart from their region."
"webme","41","5","18","As he was entering into the boat, he who had been possessed by demonsbegged him that he might be with him. "
"webme","41","5","19","He didn’t allow him, but said to him, “Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things theLord has done for you, and how he had mercy onyou.” "
"webme","41","5","20","He went his way, and began to proclaim in Decapolis how Yeshua had donegreat things for him, and everyone marveled."
"webme","41","5","21","When Yeshua had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a greatmultitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea."
"webme","41","5","22","Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; andseeing him, he fell at his feet, "
"webme","41","5","23","and begged him much, saying, “My little daughter is at the point ofdeath. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy,and live.” "
"webme","41","5","24","He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressedupon him on all sides. "
"webme","41","5","25","A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years,"
"webme","41","5","26","and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all thatshe had, and was no better, but rather grew worse,"
"webme","41","5","27","having heard the things concerning Yeshua, came up behind him in thecrowd, and touched his clothes. "
"webme","41","5","28","For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.”"
"webme","41","5","29","Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her bodythat she was healed of her affliction. "
"webme","41","5","30","Immediately Yeshua, perceiving in himself that the power had gone outfrom him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” "
"webme","41","5","31","His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you,and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” "
"webme","41","5","32","He looked around to see her who had done this thing."
"webme","41","5","33","But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her,came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth."
"webme","41","5","34","He said to her,  “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go inpeace, and be cured of your disease.”"
"webme","41","5","35","While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’shouse saying, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Rabbi any more?”"
"webme","41","5","36","But Yeshua, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to theruler of the synagogue,  “Don’t be afraid, onlybelieve.” "
"webme","41","5","37","He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, Jacob, and Yochanan thebrother of Jacob. "
"webme","41","5","38","He came to the synagogue ruler’s house, and he saw an uproar, weeping,and great wailing. "
"webme","41","5","39","When he had entered in, he said to them, “Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but isasleep.” "
"webme","41","5","40","They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father ofthe child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where thechild was lying. "
"webme","41","5","41","Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha cumi!”  which means, being interpreted, “Girl, I tell you, get up!”  "
"webme","41","5","42","Immediately the girl rose up and walked, for she was twelve years old.They were amazed with great amazement. "
"webme","41","5","43","He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commandedthat something should be given to her to eat."
"webme","41","6","1","He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciplesfollowed him. "
"webme","41","6","2","When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and manyhearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?”and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty workscome about by his hands? "
"webme","41","6","3","Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Miriam, and brother of Jacob, Yosi,Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” They were offended at him."
"webme","41","6","4","Yeshua said to them,  “A prophet is not without honor, except in hisown country, and among his own relatives, and in his ownhouse.” "
"webme","41","6","5","He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a fewsick people, and healed them. "
"webme","41","6","6","He marveled because of their unbelief."
"webme","41","6","7","He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two;and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits."
"webme","41","6","8","He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, excepta staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,"
"webme","41","6","9","but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics."
"webme","41","6","10","He said to them,  “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there untilyou depart from there.  "
"webme","41","6","11"," Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart fromthere, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony againstthem. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrahin the day of judgment than for that city!”"
"webme","41","6","12","They went out and preached that people should repent."
"webme","41","6","13","They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, andhealed them. "
"webme","41","6","14","King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said,“Yochanan the Immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers areat work in him.” "
"webme","41","6","15","But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or likeone of the prophets.” "
"webme","41","6","16","But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is Yochanan, whom I beheaded.He has risen from the dead.” "
"webme","41","6","17","For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan, and bound him inprison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had marriedher. "
"webme","41","6","18","For Yochanan said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have yourbrother’s wife.” "
"webme","41","6","19","Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but shecouldn’t, "
"webme","41","6","20","for Herod feared Yochanan, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man,and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard himgladly. "
"webme","41","6","21","Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper forhis nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee."
"webme","41","6","22","When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleasedHerod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask mewhatever you want, and I will give it to you.”"
"webme","41","6","23","He swore to her, “Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up tohalf of my kingdom.” "
"webme","41","6","24","She went out, and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?”"
"webme","41","6","25","She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, “I want youto give me right now the head of Yochanan the Immerser on a platter.”"
"webme","41","6","26","The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and ofhis dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her."
"webme","41","6","27","Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded tobring Yochanan’s head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,"
"webme","41","6","28","and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; andthe young lady gave it to her mother. "
"webme","41","6","29","When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, andlaid it in a tomb. "
"webme","41","6","30","The emissaries gathered themselves together to Yeshua, and they told himall things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught."

"webme","42","14","11"," For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoeverhumbles himself will be exalted.” "
"webme","42","14","12","He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor yourbrothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might alsoreturn the favor, and pay you back. "

"webme","43","3","26","They came to Yochanan, and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with youbeyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, the same immerses, andeveryone is coming to him.” "
"webme","43","3","27","Yochanan answered, “A man can receive nothing, unless it has been givenhim from heaven. "
"webme","43","3","28","You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah,’ but, ‘I havebeen sent before him.’ "
"webme","43","3","29","He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of thebridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of thebridegroom’s voice. This, my joy, therefore is made full."
"webme","43","3","30","He must increase, but I must decrease."
"webme","43","3","31","He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongsto the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all."
"webme","43","3","32","What he has seen and heard, of that he testifies; and no one receiveshis witness. "
"webme","43","3","33","He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God istrue. "
"webme","43","3","34","For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives theSpirit without measure. "
"webme","43","3","35","The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand."
"webme","43","3","36","One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys + The same word can be translated “disobeys” or “disbelieves” in thiscontext. the Son won’t see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”"
"webme","43","4","1","Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Yeshua wasmaking and immersing more disciples than Yochanan"
"webme","43","4","2","(although Yeshua himself didn’t immerse, but his disciples),"
"webme","43","4","3","he left Judea, and departed into Galilee."
"webme","43","4","4","He needed to pass through Samaria."
"webme","43","4","5","So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of groundthat Jacob gave to his son, Joseph. "
"webme","43","4","6","Jacob’s well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey,sat down by the well. It was about the sixthhour. + noon "
"webme","43","4","7","A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, “Give me a drink.” "
"webme","43","4","8","For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food."
"webme","43","4","9","The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being aJew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealingswith Samaritans.) "
"webme","43","4","10","Yeshua answered her,  “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is whosays to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would havegiven you living water.” "
"webme","43","4","11","The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the wellis deep. So where do you get that living water?"
"webme","43","4","12","Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drankof it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?”"
"webme","43","4","13","Yeshua answered her,  “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirstagain,  "
"webme","43","4","14"," but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will neverthirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well ofwater springing up to eternal life.”"
"webme","43","4","15","The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t getthirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”"
"webme","43","4","16","Yeshua said to her,  “Go, call your husband, and come here.” "
"webme","43","4","17","The woman answered, “I have no husband.” "
"webme","43","4","18"," for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is notyour husband. This you have said truly.”"
"webme","43","4","19","The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet."
"webme","43","4","20","Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that inJerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”"
"webme","43","4","21","Yeshua said to her,  “Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neitherin this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father. "
"webme","43","4","22"," You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which weknow; for salvation is from the Jews. "
"webme","43","4","23"," But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers willworship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be hisworshipers.  "
"webme","43","4","24"," God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit andtruth.” "
"webme","43","4","25","The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah comes, he who is calledMessiah. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”"
"webme","43","4","26","Yeshua said to her,  “I am he, the one who speaks toyou.” "
"webme","43","4","27","At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with awoman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak withher?” "
"webme","43","4","28","So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and saidto the people, "
"webme","43","4","29","“Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be theMessiah?” "
"webme","43","4","30","They went out of the city, and were coming to him."
"webme","43","4","31","In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”"
"webme","43","4","32","But he said to them,  “I have food to eat that you don’t knowabout.” "
"webme","43","4","33","The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought himsomething to eat?” "
"webme","43","4","34","Yeshua said to them,  “My food is to do the will of him who sent me,and to accomplish his work.  "
"webme","43","4","35"," Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they arewhite for harvest already.  "
"webme","43","4","36"," He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life;that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. "
"webme","43","4","37"," For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’ "
"webme","43","4","38"," I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others havelabored, and you have entered into theirlabor.” "
"webme","43","4","39","From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of theword of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I did.”"
"webme","43","4","40","So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them.He stayed there two days. "
"webme","43","4","41","Many more believed because of his word."
"webme","43","4","42","They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking;for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, theSavior of the world.” "
"webme","43","4","43","After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee."
"webme","43","4","44","For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his owncountry. "
"webme","43","4","45","So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seenall the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went tothe feast. "
"webme","43","4","46","Yeshua came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the waterinto wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum."
"webme","43","4","47","When he heard that Yeshua had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went tohim, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was atthe point of death. "
"webme","43","4","48","Yeshua therefore said to him,  “Unless you see signs and wonders, youwill in no way believe.” "
"webme","43","4","49","The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”"
"webme","43","4","50","Yeshua said to him,  “Go your way. Your sonlives.” The man believed the word that Yeshua spoke to him, and he wenthis way. "
"webme","43","4","51","As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying“Your child lives!” "
"webme","43","4","52","So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They saidtherefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventhhour, + 1:00 P. M. the fever left him.”"
"webme","43","4","53","So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Yeshua said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house."
"webme","43","4","54","This is again the second sign that Yeshua did, having come out of Judeainto Galilee. "
"webme","43","5","1","After these things, there was a Jewish festival, and Yeshua went up toJerusalem. "
"webme","43","5","2","Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called inHebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches."
"webme","43","5","3","In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, orparalyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;"
"webme","43","5","4","for an angel went down at certain times into the pool, and stirred up thewater. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed ofwhatever disease he had. + NU omits from “waiting” in verse 3 to the end ofverse 4. "
"webme","43","5","5","A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years."
"webme","43","5","6","When Yeshua saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for along time, he asked him,  “Do you want to be madewell?” "
"webme","43","5","7","The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the poolwhen the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down beforeme.” "
"webme","43","5","8","Yeshua said to him,  “Arise, take up your mat, andwalk.” "
"webme","43","5","9","Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked."
"webme","43","5","10","So the Judeans said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is notlawful for you to carry the mat.” "
"webme","43","5","11","He answered them, “He who made me well, the same said to me, ‘Take up your mat, and walk.’” "
"webme","43","5","12","Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat, and walk’?” "
"webme","43","5","13","But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Yeshua had withdrawn,a crowd being in the place. "
"webme","43","5","14","Afterward Yeshua found him in the temple, and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens toyou.”  "
"webme","43","5","15","The man went away, and told the Judeans that it was Yeshua who had madehim well. "
"webme","43","5","16","For this cause the Judeans persecuted Yeshua, and sought to kill him,because he did these things on the Sabbath."
"webme","43","5","17","But Yeshua answered them,  “My Father is still working, so I amworking, too.” "
"webme","43","5","18","For this cause therefore the Judeans sought all the more to kill him,because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father,making himself equal with God. "
"webme","43","5","19","Yeshua therefore answered them,  “Most certainly, I tell you, the Soncan do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whateverthings he does, these the Son also does likewise. "
"webme","43","5","20"," For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all thingsthat he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you maymarvel.  "
"webme","43","5","21"," For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so theSon also gives life to whom he desires. "
"webme","43","5","22"," For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to theSon,  "
"webme","43","5","23"," that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He whodoesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who senthim. "
"webme","43","5","24"," “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes himwho sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passedout of death into life.  "
"webme","43","5","25"," Most certainly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when thedead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live. "
"webme","43","5","26"," For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Sonalso to have life in himself.  "
"webme","43","5","27"," He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a sonof man.  "
"webme","43","5","28"," Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are inthe tombs will hear his voice,  "
"webme","43","5","29"," and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection oflife; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. "
"webme","43","5","30"," I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment isrighteous; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father whosent me. "
"webme","43","5","31"," “If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid. "
"webme","43","5","32"," It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimonywhich he testifies about me is true. "
"webme","43","5","33"," You have sent to Yochanan, and he has testified to the truth. "
"webme","43","5","34"," But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I saythese things that you may be saved. "
"webme","43","5","35"," He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing torejoice for a while in his light.  "
"webme","43","5","36"," But the testimony which I have is greater than that of Yochanan,for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that Ido, testify about me, that the Father has sent me. "
"webme","43","5","37"," The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You haveneither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. "
"webme","43","5","38"," You don’t have his word living in you; because you don’t believehim whom he sent. "
"webme","43","5","39"," “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you haveeternal life; and these are they which testify about me. "
"webme","43","5","40"," Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. "
"webme","43","5","41"," I don’t receive glory from men. "
"webme","43","5","42"," But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves. "
"webme","43","5","43"," I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. Ifanother comes in his own name, you will receive him. "
"webme","43","5","44"," How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and youdon’t seek the glory that comes from the onlyGod? "
"webme","43","5","45"," “Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one whoaccuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope. "
"webme","43","5","46"," For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote aboutme.  "
"webme","43","5","47"," But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe mywords?” "
"webme","43","6","1","After these things, Yeshua went away to the other side of the sea ofGalilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias."
"webme","43","6","2","A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he didon those who were sick. "
"webme","43","6","3","Yeshua went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples."
"webme","43","6","4","Now the Passover, the Jewish festival, was at hand."
"webme","43","6","5","Yeshua therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitudewas coming to him, said to Philip,  “Where are we to buy bread, that thesemay eat?” "
"webme","43","6","6","This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do."
"webme","43","6","7","Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is notsufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little.”"
"webme","43","6","8","One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,"
"webme","43","6","9","“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but whatare these among so many?” "
"webme","43","6","10","Yeshua said,  “Have the people sitdown.” Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, innumber about five thousand. "
"webme","43","6","11","Yeshua took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to thedisciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also ofthe fish as much as they desired. "
"webme","43","6","12","When they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing belost.” "
"webme","43","6","13","So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken piecesfrom the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten."
"webme","43","6","14","When therefore the people saw the sign which Yeshua did, they said,“This is truly the Prophet who comes into the world.”"
"webme","43","6","15","Yeshua therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take himby force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself."
"webme","43","6","16","When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,"
"webme","43","6","17","and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea toCapernaum. It was now dark, and Yeshua had not come to them."
"webme","43","6","18","The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing."
"webme","43","6","19","When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, + 25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4miles they saw Yeshua walking on thesea, + see Job 9:8 and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid."
"webme","43","6","20","But he said to them,  “It is I. + or, IAM  Don’t be afraid.” "
"webme","43","6","21","They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediatelythe boat was at the land where they were going."
"webme","43","6","22","On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the seasaw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his discipleshad embarked, and that Yeshua hadn’t entered with his disciples into the boat,but his disciples had gone away alone. "
"webme","43","6","23","However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate thebread after the Lord had given thanks. "
"webme","43","6","24","When the multitude therefore saw that Yeshua wasn’t there, nor hisdisciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seekingYeshua. "
"webme","43","6","25","When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him,“Rabbi, when did you come here?” "
"webme","43","6","26","Yeshua answered them,  “Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, notbecause you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled. "
"webme","43","6","27"," Don’t work for the food which perishes, but for the food whichremains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God theFather has sealed him.” "
"webme","43","6","28","They said therefore to him, “What must we do, that we may work the worksof God?” "
"webme","43","6","29","Yeshua answered them,  “This is the work of God, that you believe inhim whom he has sent.” "
"webme","43","6","30","They said therefore to him, “What then do you do for a sign, that we maysee, and believe you? What work do you do?"

"webme","43","6","33"," For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, andgives life to the world.” "
"webme","43","6","34","They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”"
"webme","43","6","35","Yeshua said to them,  “I am the bread of life. He who comes to mewill not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. "
"webme","43","6","36"," But I told you that you have seen me, and yet you don’t believe. "
"webme","43","6","37"," All those whom the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes tome I will in no way throw out.  "
"webme","43","6","38"," For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but thewill of him who sent me.  "
"webme","43","6","39"," This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has givento me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day. "

"webme","43","6","41","The Judeans therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, “I am the bread which came down out ofheaven.” "
"webme","43","6","42","They said, “Isn’t this Yeshua, the son of Joseph, whose father andmother we know? How then does he say,  ‘I have come down out of heaven?’” "
"webme","43","6","43","Therefore Yeshua answered them,  “Don’t murmur among yourselves. "
"webme","43","6","44"," No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, andI will raise him up in the last day. "
"webme","43","6","45"," It is written in the Prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God.’  + Isaiah 54:13  Therefore everyone who hears from the Father,and has learned, comes to me.  "

"webme","43","6","47"," Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. "
"webme","43","6","48"," I am the bread of life. "
"webme","43","6","49"," Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. "

"webme","43","6","51"," I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eatsof this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for thelife of the world is my flesh.” "
"webme","43","6","52","The Judeans therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can thisman give us his flesh to eat?” "
"webme","43","6","53","Yeshua therefore said to them,  “Most certainly I tell you, unlessyou eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have lifein yourselves.  "
"webme","43","6","54"," He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and Iwill raise him up at the last day. "

"webme","43","6","59","He said these things in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum."
"webme","43","6","60","Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is ahard saying! Who can listen to it?” "
"webme","43","6","61","But Yeshua knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, saidto them,  “Does this cause you to stumble? "
"webme","43","6","62"," Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he wasbefore?  "
"webme","43","6","63"," It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. Thewords that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. "
"webme","43","6","64"," But there are some of you who don’tbelieve.” For Yeshua knew from the beginning who they were who didn’tbelieve, and who it was who would betray him."
"webme","43","6","65","He said,  “For this cause have I said to you that no one can come tome, unless it is given to him by my Father.”"
"webme","43","6","66","At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."
"webme","43","6","67","Yeshua said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, doyou?” "
"webme","43","6","68","Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the wordsof eternal life. "

"webme","43","7","16","Yeshua therefore answered them,  “My teaching is not mine, but hiswho sent me.  "
"webme","43","7","17"," If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching,whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. "
"webme","43","7","18"," He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeksthe glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. "
"webme","43","7","19"," Didn’t Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keeps theTorah? Why do you seek to kill me?”"
"webme","43","7","20","The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”"
"webme","43","7","21","Yeshua answered them,  “I did one work, and you all marvel because ofit.  "
"webme","43","7","22"," Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but ofthe fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. "
"webme","43","7","23"," If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Torah ofMoses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a mancompletely healthy on the Sabbath? "
"webme","43","7","24"," Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” "
"webme","43","7","25","Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seekto kill? "
"webme","43","7","26","Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be thatthe rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?"
"webme","43","7","27","However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes,no one will know where he comes from.” "
"webme","43","7","28","Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself,but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know. "
"webme","43","7","29"," I know him, because I am from him, and he sentme.” "
"webme","43","7","30","They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him,because his hour had not yet come. "
"webme","43","7","31","But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiahcomes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”"
"webme","43","7","32","The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him,and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him."
"webme","43","7","33","Then Yeshua said,  “I will be with you a little while longer, then Igo to him who sent me.  "
"webme","43","7","34"," You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’tcome.” "
"webme","43","7","35","The Judeans therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man gothat we won’t find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and teachthe Greeks? "
"webme","43","7","36","What is this word that he said,  ‘You will seek me, and won’t findme; and where I am, you can’t come’?”"
"webme","43","7","37","Now on the last and greatest day of thefeast + Known today as Hoshana Rabbah., Yeshua stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! "
"webme","43","7","38"," He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within himwill flow rivers of living water.” "
"webme","43","7","39","But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were toreceive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua wasn’t yetglorified. "
"webme","43","7","40","Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said,“This is truly the Prophet.” "
"webme","43","7","41","Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some said, “What, does theMessiah come out of Galilee? "
"webme","43","7","42","Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of theoffspring + or, seed of David,  + 2 Samuel7:12 and from Bethlehem, + Micah 5:2 the village where David was?”"
"webme","43","7","43","So there arose a division in the multitude because of him."
"webme","43","7","44","Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him."
"webme","43","7","45","The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and theysaid to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”"
"webme","43","7","46","The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”"
"webme","43","7","47","The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, areyou? "
"webme","43","7","48","Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?"
"webme","43","7","49","But this multitude that doesn’t know the Torah is accursed.”"
"webme","43","7","50","Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,"
"webme","43","7","51","“Does our Torah judge a man, unless it first hears from him personallyand knows what he does?” "
"webme","43","7","52","They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that noprophet has arisen out of Galilee.” + See Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:13-16. "
"webme","43","7","53","Everyone went to his own house, "
"webme","43","8","1","but Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives."
"webme","43","8","2","Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all thepeople came to him. He sat down, and taught them."
"webme","43","8","3","The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Havingset her in the middle, "
"webme","43","8","4","they told him, “Rabbi, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act."
"webme","43","8","5","Now in our Torah, Moses commanded us to stone suchwomen. + Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy22:22 What then do you say about her?”"
"webme","43","8","6","They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse himof. "
"webme","43","8","7","But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.” "
"webme","43","8","8","Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground."
"webme","43","8","9","They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went outone by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Yeshua was left alonewith the woman where she was, in the middle."
"webme","43","8","10","Yeshua, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemnyou?” "
"webme","43","8","11","She said, “No one, Lord.” no more.” + NU includes, but brackets as less certain, Yochanan7:53–Yochanan 8-11. "
"webme","43","8","12","Again, therefore, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. + Isaiah60:1  He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have thelight of life.” "
"webme","43","8","13","The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Yourtestimony is not valid.” "
"webme","43","8","14","Yeshua answered them,  “Even if I testify about myself, my testimonyis true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’tknow where I came from, or where I am going. "
"webme","43","8","15"," You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. "
"webme","43","8","16"," Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but Iam with the Father who sent me.  "
"webme","43","8","17"," It’s also written in your Torah that the testimony of two people isvalid. + Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15"

"webme","43","8","19","They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?”you would know my Father also.” "
"webme","43","8","20","Yeshua spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple.Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come."
"webme","43","8","21","Yeshua said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins.Where I go, you can’t come.”  "
"webme","43","8","22","The Judeans therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”"

"webme","43","8","27","They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father."
"webme","43","8","28","Yeshua therefore said to them,  “When you have lifted up the Son ofMan, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as myFather taught me, I say these things. "
"webme","43","8","29"," He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for Ialways do the things that are pleasing tohim.” "

"webme","43","8","41"," You do the works of your father.”Father, God.” "
"webme","43","8","42","Therefore Yeshua said to them,  “If God were your father, you wouldlove me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself,but he sent me.  "

"webme","43","9","18","The Judeans therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had beenblind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him whohad received his sight, "

"webme","44","15","21","For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaimhim, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”"
"webme","44","15","22","Then it seemed good to the emissaries and the elders, with the wholeassembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch withPaul and Barnabas: Judah called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among thebrothers.  + The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows mayalso be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or“siblings.” "

"webme","44","15","41","He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies."

"webme","44","19","40","For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot,there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account ofthis commotion.” "
"webme","44","19","41","When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly."

"webme","44","23","7","When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees andSadducees, and the crowd was divided. "

"webme","44","23","12","When it was day, some of the Judeans banded together, and boundthemselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink untilthey had killed Paul. "
"webme","44","23","13","There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy."
"webme","44","23","14","They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have boundourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul."

"webme","44","23","16","But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came andentered into the barracks and told Paul."
"webme","44","23","17","Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, “Bring this young man tothe commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”"
"webme","44","23","18","So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said,“Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you,who has something to tell you.” "
"webme","44","23","19","The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked himprivately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”"

"webme","44","23","29","I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to becharged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment."
"webme","44","23","30","When I was told that the Judeans lay in wait for the man, I sent him toyou immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations againsthim before you. Farewell.” "
"webme","44","23","31","So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him bynight to Antipatris. "

"webme","44","24","1","After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain eldersand an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul."

"webme","44","24","4","But, that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a fewwords. "
"webme","44","24","5","For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrectionsamong all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of theNazarenes. "

"webme","44","24","9","The Judeans also joined in the attack, affirming that these things wereso. "
"webme","44","24","10","When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “BecauseI know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfullymake my defense, "
"webme","44","24","11","seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days sinceI went up to worship at Jerusalem. "
"webme","44","24","12","In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up acrowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city."
"webme","44","24","13","Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me."

"webme","44","24","22","But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferredthem, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decideyour case.” "

"webme","44","25","17","When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on thenext day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought."
"webme","44","25","18","Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge ofsuch things as I supposed; "

"webme","44","25","20","Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whetherhe was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning thesematters. "

"webme","45","3","20","Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in hissight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin."
"webme","45","3","21","But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed,being testified by the Torah and the Prophets;"
"webme","45","3","22","even the righteousness of God through faith in Yeshua the Messiah to alland on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,"
"webme","45","3","23","for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
"webme","45","3","24","being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is inMessiah Yeshua; "

"webme","45","3","27","Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Ofworks? No, but by a law of faith. "
"webme","45","3","28","We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from theworks of the law. "
"webme","45","3","29","Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes,of Gentiles also, "
"webme","45","3","30","since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith,and the uncircumcised through faith. "

"webme","45","4","1","What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found accordingto the flesh? "

"webme","45","4","4","Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but assomething owed. "
"webme","45","4","5","But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies theungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness."

"webme","45","4","9","Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on theuncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham forrighteousness. "
"webme","45","4","10","How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or inuncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision."
"webme","45","4","11","He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of thefaith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the fatherof all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, thatrighteousness might also be accounted to them."
"webme","45","4","12","He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of thecircumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our fatherAbraham, which he had in uncircumcision."
"webme","45","4","13","For the promise to Abraham and to hisoffspring + or, seed that he should be heir of the world wasn’t throughthe law, but through the righteousness of faith."
"webme","45","4","14","For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and thepromise is made of no effect. "

"webme","45","4","17","As it is written, “I have made you a father of manynations.” + Genesis 17:5 This is in the presence of him whom he believed:God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as thoughthey were. "

"webme","45","4","21","and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able toperform. "
"webme","45","4","22","Therefore it also was “credited to him forrighteousness.” + Genesis 15:6 "
"webme","45","4","23","Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,"
"webme","45","4","24","but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in himwho raised Yeshua, our Lord, from the dead,"
"webme","45","4","25","who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for ourjustification. "
"webme","45","5","1","Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through ourLord Yeshua the Messiah; "

"webme","45","5","3","Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing thatsuffering produces perseverance; "
"webme","45","5","4","and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope:"
"webme","45","5","5","and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured outinto our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
"webme","45","5","6","For while we were yet weak, at the right time Messiah died for theungodly. "
"webme","45","5","7","For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteousperson someone would even dare to die. "
"webme","45","5","8","But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yetsinners, Messiah died for us. "
"webme","45","5","9","Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved fromGod’s wrath through him. "
"webme","45","5","10","For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through thedeath of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life."
"webme","45","5","11","Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Yeshua theMessiah, through whom we have now received the reconciliation."
"webme","45","5","12","Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and deaththrough sin; and so death passed to all men, because all sinned."
"webme","45","5","13","For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged whenthere is no law. "
"webme","45","5","14","Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whosesins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who wasto come. "
"webme","45","5","15","But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of theone the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the graceof the one man, Yeshua the Messiah, abound to the many."
"webme","45","5","16","The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by oneto condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification."
"webme","45","5","17","For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; somuch more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift ofrighteousness reign in life through the one, Yeshua the Messiah."
"webme","45","5","18","So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so throughone act of righteousness, all men were justified to life."
"webme","45","5","19","For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, evenso through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous."
"webme","45","5","20","The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sinabounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;"
"webme","45","5","21","that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign throughrighteousness to eternal life through Yeshua the Messiah our Lord."
"webme","45","6","1","What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?"
"webme","45","6","2","May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?"
"webme","45","6","3","Or don’t you know that all we who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua wereimmersed into his death? "
"webme","45","6","4","We were buried therefore with him through immersion into death, that justas Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so wealso might walk in newness of life. "
"webme","45","6","5","For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, wewill also be part of his resurrection; "
"webme","45","6","6","knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body ofsin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin."
"webme","45","6","7","For he who has died has been freed from sin."
"webme","45","6","8","But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him;"
"webme","45","6","9","knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death nomore has dominion over him! "
"webme","45","6","10","For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life thathe lives, he lives to God. "
"webme","45","6","11","Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God inMessiah Yeshua our Lord. "
"webme","45","6","12","Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obeyit in its lusts. "
"webme","45","6","13","Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments ofunrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, andyour members as instruments of righteousness to God."
"webme","45","6","14","For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, butunder grace. "
"webme","45","6","15","What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace?May it never be! "
"webme","45","6","16","Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obeysomeone, you are the servants of whomever you obey; whether of sin to death,or of obedience to righteousness? "
"webme","45","6","17","But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, youbecame obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you weredelivered. "
"webme","45","6","18","Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness."
"webme","45","6","19","I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as youpresented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness uponwickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness forsanctification. "
"webme","45","6","20","For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard torighteousness. "
"webme","45","6","21","What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you arenow ashamed? For the end of those things is death."
"webme","45","6","22","But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God,you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life."
"webme","45","6","23","For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal lifein Messiah Yeshua our Lord. "
"webme","45","7","1","Or don’t you know, brothers + The word for “brothers” here and wherecontext allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or“siblings.” (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hasdominion over a man for as long as he lives?"
"webme","45","7","2","For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while helives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband."
"webme","45","7","3","So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, shewould be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from thelaw, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man."
"webme","45","7","4","Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through thebody of Messiah, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raisedfrom the dead, that we might produce fruit to God."
"webme","45","7","5","For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through thelaw, worked in our members to bring out fruit to death."
"webme","45","7","6","But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that inwhich we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not inoldness of the letter. "
"webme","45","7","7","What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, Iwouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have knowncoveting, unless the law had said, “You shall notcovet.” + Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21"
"webme","45","7","8","But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me allkinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead."
"webme","45","7","9","I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sinrevived, and I died. "
"webme","45","7","10","The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;"
"webme","45","7","11","for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, andthrough it killed me. "
"webme","45","7","12","Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, andrighteous, and good. "
"webme","45","7","13","Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! Butsin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through thatwhich is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedinglysinful. "
"webme","45","7","14","For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin."
"webme","45","7","15","For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire todo; but what I hate, that I do. "
"webme","45","7","16","But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it isgood. "
"webme","45","7","17","So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me."
"webme","45","7","18","For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. Fordesire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good."
"webme","45","7","19","For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’tdesire, that I practice. "
"webme","45","7","20","But if what I don’t desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, butsin which dwells in me. "
"webme","45","7","21","I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil ispresent. "
"webme","45","7","22","For I delight in God’s Torah after the inward man,"
"webme","45","7","23","but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of mymind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in mymembers. "
"webme","45","7","24","What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of thisdeath? "
"webme","45","7","25","I thank God through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord! So then with the mind,I myself serve God’s Torah, but with the flesh, the sin’s law."

"webme","45","8","2","For the law of the Spirit of life in Messiah Yeshua made me free from thelaw of sin and of death. "
"webme","45","8","3","For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Goddid, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, hecondemned sin in the flesh; "
"webme","45","8","4","that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk notafter the flesh, but after the Spirit. "
"webme","45","8","5","For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the thingsof the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of theSpirit. "
"webme","45","8","6","For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is lifeand peace; "
"webme","45","8","7","because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is notsubject to God’s Torah, neither indeed can it be."
"webme","45","8","8","Those who are in the flesh can’t please God."
"webme","45","8","9","But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that theSpirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit ofMessiah, he is not his. "
"webme","45","8","10","If Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit isalive because of righteousness. "
"webme","45","8","11","But if the Spirit of him who raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells inyou, he who raised up Messiah Yeshua from the dead will also give life to yourmortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."
"webme","45","8","12","So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after theflesh. "
"webme","45","8","13","For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit youput to death the deeds of the body, you will live."
"webme","45","8","14","For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God."
"webme","45","8","15","For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but youreceived the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry,“Abba! + Abba is an Aramaic word for “Father” or “Daddy”, which can be usedaffectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father inheaven. Father!” "
"webme","45","8","16","The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children ofGod; "
"webme","45","8","17","and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Messiah;if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him."
"webme","45","8","18","For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthyto be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us."
"webme","45","8","19","For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God tobe revealed. "
"webme","45","8","20","For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, butbecause of him who subjected it, in hope"
"webme","45","8","21","that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage ofdecay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God."
"webme","45","8","22","For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain togetheruntil now. "
"webme","45","8","23","Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of theSpirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, theredemption of our body. "
"webme","45","8","24","For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For whohopes for that which he sees? "
"webme","45","8","25","But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it withpatience. "
"webme","45","8","26","In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t knowhow to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us withgroanings which can’t be uttered. "
"webme","45","8","27","He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, becausehe makes intercession for the holy ones according to God."

"webme","45","10","1","Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that theymay be saved. "
"webme","45","10","2","For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not accordingto knowledge. "
"webme","45","10","3","For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish theirown righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God."
"webme","45","10","4","For Messiah is the fulfillment + or, completion, orend of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
"webme","45","10","5","For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, “The one who doesthem will live by them.” + Leviticus 18:5"
"webme","45","10","6","But the righteousness which is of faith says this, “Don’t say in yourheart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ + Deuteronomy30:12 (that is, to bring Messiah down);"
"webme","45","10","7","or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ + Deuteronomy30:13 (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)”"
"webme","45","10","8","But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth, and in yourheart”; + Deuteronomy 30:14 that is, the word of faith, which weproclaim: "
"webme","45","10","9","that if you will confess with your mouth that Yeshua is Lord, and believein your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
"webme","45","10","10","For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouthconfession is made unto salvation. "
"webme","45","10","11","For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in him will not bedisappointed.” + Isaiah 28:16 "
"webme","45","10","12","For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord isLord of all, and is rich to all who call on him."
"webme","45","10","13","For, “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will besaved.” + Joel 2:32 "
"webme","45","10","14","How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How willthey believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without aproclaimer? "
"webme","45","10","15","And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written:“How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim the Good News of peace,who bring glad tidings of good things!” + Isaiah52:7 "
"webme","45","10","16","But they didn’t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, whohas believed our report?” + Isaiah 53:1"
"webme","45","10","17","So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
"webme","45","10","18","But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most certainly,“Their sound went out into all the earth,their words to the ends of the world.” + Psalm19:4 "
"webme","45","10","19","But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses says,“I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation,with a nation void of understanding I will make youangry.” + Deuteronomy 32:31 "
"webme","45","10","20","Isaiah is very bold, and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek me.I was revealed to those who didn’t ask forme.” + Isaiah 65:1 "
"webme","45","10","21","But as to Israel he says, “All day long I stretched out my hands to adisobedient and contrary people.” + Isaiah65:2 "
"webme","45","11","1","I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am anIsraelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin."
"webme","45","11","2","God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know whatthe Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:"
"webme","45","11","3","“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars;and I am left alone, and they seek my life.” + 1 Kings19:10,14 "
"webme","45","11","4","But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousandmen, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” + 1 Kings19:18 "
"webme","45","11","5","Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according tothe election of grace. "
"webme","45","11","6","And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is nolonger grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work isno longer work. "
"webme","45","11","7","What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but thechosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened."
"webme","45","11","8","According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes thatthey should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.” + Deuteronomy 29:4; Isaiah 29:10 "

"webme","45","11","11","I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! Butby their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy."
"webme","45","11","12","Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the richesof the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?"
"webme","45","11","13","For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an emissary toGentiles, I glorify my ministry; "
"webme","45","11","14","if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, andmay save some of them. "
"webme","45","11","15","For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what wouldtheir acceptance be, but life from the dead?"
"webme","45","11","16","If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so arethe branches. "
"webme","45","11","17","But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wildolive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the rootand of the richness of the olive tree; "
"webme","45","11","18","don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you whosupport the root, but the root supports you."
"webme","45","11","19","You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be graftedin.” "
"webme","45","11","20","True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by yourfaith. Don’t be conceited, but fear; "
"webme","45","11","21","for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you."
"webme","45","11","22","See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell,severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwiseyou also will be cut off. "
"webme","45","11","23","They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in,for God is able to graft them in again."
"webme","45","11","24","For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree,and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more willthese, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?"
"webme","45","11","25","For I don’t desire you to be ignorant,brothers, + The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may alsobe correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or“siblings.” of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your ownconceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullnessof the Gentiles has come in, "

"webme","45","11","29","For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."
"webme","45","11","30","For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtainedmercy by their disobedience, "
"webme","45","11","31","even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown toyou they may also obtain mercy. "
"webme","45","11","32","For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy onall. "

"webme","46","1","4","I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which wasgiven you in Messiah Yeshua; "
"webme","46","1","5","that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and allknowledge; "
"webme","46","1","6","even as the testimony of Messiah was confirmed in you:"
"webme","46","1","7","so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of ourLord Yeshua the Messiah; "
"webme","46","1","8","who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our LordYeshua the Messiah. "
"webme","46","1","9","God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of hisSon, Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord. "
"webme","46","1","10","Now I beg you, brothers, + The word for “brothers” here and wherecontext allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or“siblings.” through the name of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, that you allspeak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that yoube perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
"webme","46","1","11","For it has been reported to me concerning you, my brothers, by those whoare from Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you."
"webme","46","1","12","Now I mean this, that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” “I followApollos,” “I follow Kefa + Greek: Cephas,” and, “I follow Messiah.”"
"webme","46","1","13","Is Messiah divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersedinto the name of Paul? "
"webme","46","1","14","I thank God that I immersed none of you, except Crispus and Gaius,"
"webme","46","1","15","so that no one should say that I had immersed you into my own name."
"webme","46","1","16","(I also immersed the household of Stephanas; besides them, I don’t knowwhether I immersed any other.) "
"webme","46","1","17","For Messiah sent me not to immerse, but to proclaim the Good News—not inwisdom of words, so that the cross of Messiah wouldn’t be made void."
"webme","46","1","18","For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but tous who are saved it is the power of God."
"webme","46","1","19","For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,I will bring the discernment of the discerning tonothing.” + Isaiah 29:14 "
"webme","46","1","20","Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the Torah scholar ofthis world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?"
"webme","46","1","21","For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdomdidn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of theproclaiming to save those who believe. "
"webme","46","1","22","For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,"
"webme","46","1","23","but we proclaim Messiah crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, andfoolishness to Greeks, "
"webme","46","1","24","but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the powerof God and the wisdom of God. "
"webme","46","1","25","Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness ofGod is stronger than men. "
"webme","46","1","26","For you see your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according tothe flesh, not many mighty, and not many noble;"
"webme","46","1","27","but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shamethose who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might putto shame the things that are strong; "
"webme","46","1","28","and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that aredespised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing thethings that are: "
"webme","46","1","29","that no flesh should boast before God."
"webme","46","1","30","Because of him, you are in Messiah Yeshua, who was made to us wisdomfrom God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:"
"webme","46","1","31","that, according as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in theLord.” + Jeremiah 9:24 "
"webme","46","2","1","When I came to you, brothers, I didn’t come with excellence of speech orof wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God."
"webme","46","2","2","For I determined not to know anything among you, except Yeshua theMessiah, and him crucified. "
"webme","46","2","3","I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling."
"webme","46","2","4","My speech and my proclaiming were not in persuasive words of humanwisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,"
"webme","46","2","5","that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power ofGod. "
"webme","46","2","6","We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdomnot of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing."
"webme","46","2","7","But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden,which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,"
"webme","46","2","8","which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it,they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory."
"webme","46","2","9","But as it is written, “Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,which didn’t enter into the heart of man,these God has prepared for those who lovehim.” + Isaiah 64:4 "
"webme","46","2","10","But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searchesall things, yes, the deep things of God."
"webme","46","2","11","For who among men knows the things of a man, except the spirit of theman, which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God, except God’sSpirit. "
"webme","46","2","12","But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which isfrom God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God."
"webme","46","2","13","Which things also we speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, butwhich the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritualthings. "
"webme","46","2","14","Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for theyare foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spirituallydiscerned. "
"webme","46","2","15","But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged byno one. "
"webme","46","2","16","“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?” + Isaiah 40:13 But we have Messiah’s mind."
"webme","46","3","1","Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, asto babies in Messiah. "
"webme","46","3","2","I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed,not even now are you ready, "
"webme","46","3","3","for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, andfactions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men?"
"webme","46","3","4","For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,”aren’t you fleshly? "
"webme","46","3","5","Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom youbelieved; and each as the Lord gave to him?"
"webme","46","3","6","I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase."
"webme","46","3","7","So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God whogives the increase. "
"webme","46","3","8","Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receivehis own reward according to his own labor."
"webme","46","3","9","For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building."
"webme","46","3","10","According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise masterbuilder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man becareful how he builds on it. "
"webme","46","3","11","For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid,which is Yeshua the Messiah. "
"webme","46","3","12","But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones,wood, hay, or stubble; "
"webme","46","3","13","each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, becauseit is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work eachman’s work is. "
"webme","46","3","14","If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive areward. "
"webme","46","3","15","If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will besaved, but as through fire. "
"webme","46","3","16","Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit livesin you? "
"webme","46","3","17","If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s templeis holy, which you are. "
"webme","46","3","18","Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among youin this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise."
"webme","46","3","19","For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,“He has taken the wise in their craftiness.” + Job5:13 "
"webme","46","3","20","And again, “The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it isworthless.” + Psalm 94:11 "
"webme","46","3","21","Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,"
"webme","46","3","22","whether Paul, or Apollos, or Kefa + Greek:Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things tocome. All are yours, "
"webme","46","3","23","and you are Messiah’s, and Messiah is God’s."
"webme","46","4","1","So let a man think of us as Messiah’s servants, and stewards of God’smysteries. "
"webme","46","4","2","Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful."
"webme","46","4","3","But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, orby man’s judgment. Yes, I don’t judge my own self."
"webme","46","4","4","For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but hewho judges me is the Lord. "
"webme","46","4","5","Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who willboth bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels ofthe hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God."
"webme","46","4","6","Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself andApollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond thethings which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another."
"webme","46","4","7","For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’treceive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had notreceived it? "
"webme","46","4","8","You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come toreign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reignwith you. "
"webme","46","4","9","For, I think that God has displayed us, the emissaries, last of all, likemen sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both toangels and men. "
"webme","46","4","10","We are fools for Messiah’s sake, but you are wise in Messiah. We areweak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor."
"webme","46","4","11","Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, andhave no certain dwelling place. "
"webme","46","4","12","We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless.Being persecuted, we endure. "
"webme","46","4","13","Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, thedirt wiped off by all, even until now. "
"webme","46","4","14","I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as mybeloved children. "
"webme","46","4","15","For though you have ten thousand tutors in Messiah, yet not manyfathers. For in Messiah Yeshua, I became your father through the Good News."
"webme","46","4","16","I beg you therefore, be imitators of me."
"webme","46","4","17","Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved andfaithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are inMessiah, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly."
"webme","46","4","18","Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you."
"webme","46","4","19","But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know,not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power."
"webme","46","4","20","For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power."
"webme","46","4","21","What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and aspirit of gentleness? "
"webme","46","5","1","It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, andsuch sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one hashis father’s wife. "
"webme","46","5","2","You are puffed up, and didn’t rather mourn, that he who had done thisdeed might be removed from among you. "
"webme","46","5","3","For I most certainly, as being absent in body but present in spirit, havealready, as though I were present, judged him who has done this thing."
"webme","46","5","4","In the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, you being gathered together,and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,"
"webme","46","5","5","are to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, thatthe spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Yeshua."
"webme","46","5","6","Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens thewhole lump? "
"webme","46","5","7","Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you areunleavened. For indeed Messiah, our Passover, has been sacrificed in ourplace. "
"webme","46","5","8","Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with theyeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity andtruth. "
"webme","46","5","9","I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;"
"webme","46","5","10","yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or withthe covetous and extortionists, or with idolaters; for then you would have toleave the world. "
"webme","46","5","11","But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is calleda brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer,or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person."
"webme","46","5","12","For what have I to do with also judging those who are outside? Don’t youjudge those who are within? "
"webme","46","5","13","But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man fromamong yourselves.” + Deuteronomy 17:7; 19:19; 21:21; 22:21;24:7 "
"webme","46","6","1","Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law beforethe unrighteous, and not before the holy ones?"
"webme","46","6","2","Don’t you know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the worldis judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
"webme","46","6","3","Don’t you know that we will judge angels? How much more, things thatpertain to this life? "
"webme","46","6","4","If then, you have to judge things pertaining to this life, do you setthem to judge who are of no account in the assembly?"
"webme","46","6","5","I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among youwho would be able to decide between his brothers?"
"webme","46","6","6","But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!"
"webme","46","6","7","Therefore it is already altogether a defect in you, that you havelawsuits one with another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather bedefrauded? "
"webme","46","6","8","No, but you yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that against yourbrothers. "
"webme","46","6","9","Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom?Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, noradulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,"
"webme","46","6","10","nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, norextortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom."
"webme","46","6","11","Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. Butyou were justified in the name of the Lord Yeshua, and in the Spirit of ourGod. "
"webme","46","6","12","“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “Allthings are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power ofanything. "
"webme","46","6","13","“Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring tonothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but forthe Lord; and the Lord for the body. "
"webme","46","6","14","Now God raised up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power."
"webme","46","6","15","Don’t you know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I thentake the members of Messiah, and make them members of a prostitute? May itnever be! "
"webme","46","6","16","Or don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body?For, “The two”, he says, “will become oneflesh.” + Genesis 2:24 "
"webme","46","6","17","But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit."
"webme","46","6","18","Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin that a man does is outside the body,”but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
"webme","46","6","19","Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which isin you, which you have from God? You are not your own,"
"webme","46","6","20","for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body andin your spirit, which are God’s. "
"webme","46","7","1","Now concerning the things about which you wrote to me: it is good for aman not to touch a woman. "
"webme","46","7","2","But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, andlet each woman have her own husband. "
"webme","46","7","3","Let the husband give his wife the affection owedher, + NU and TR have “what is owed her” instead of “the affection owedher”. and likewise also the wife her husband."
"webme","46","7","4","The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband.Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but thewife. "
"webme","46","7","5","Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that youmay give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, thatSatan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control."
"webme","46","7","6","But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment."
"webme","46","7","7","Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own giftfrom God, one of this kind, and another of that kind."
"webme","46","7","8","But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if theyremain even as I am. "
"webme","46","7","9","But if they don’t have self-control, let them marry. For it’s better tomarry than to burn. "
"webme","46","7","10","But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leaveher husband "
"webme","46","7","11","(but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled toher husband), and that the husband not leave his wife."
"webme","46","7","12","But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelievingwife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her."
"webme","46","7","13","The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live withher, let her not leave her husband. "
"webme","46","7","14","For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and theunbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children wouldbe unclean, but now they are holy. "
"webme","46","7","15","Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother orthe sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace."
"webme","46","7","16","For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how doyou know, husband, whether you will save your wife?"
"webme","46","7","17","Only, as the Lord has distributed to each man, as God has called each,so let him walk. So I command in all the assemblies."
"webme","46","7","18","Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not becomeuncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not becircumcised. "
"webme","46","7","19","Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keepingof the commandments of God. "
"webme","46","7","20","Let each man stay in that calling in which he was called."
"webme","46","7","21","Were you called being a bondservant? Don’t let that bother you, but ifyou get an opportunity to become free, use it."
"webme","46","7","22","For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s freeman. Likewise he who was called being free is Messiah’s bondservant."
"webme","46","7","23","You were bought with a price. Don’t become bondservants of men."
"webme","46","7","24","Brothers, let each man, in whatever condition he was called, stay inthat condition with God. "
"webme","46","7","25","Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I givemy judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy."
"webme","46","7","26","I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is onus, that it is good for a man to be as he is."
"webme","46","7","27","Are you bound to a wife? Don’t seek to be freed. Are you free from awife? Don’t seek a wife. "
"webme","46","7","28","But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has notsinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you."
"webme","46","7","29","But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, boththose who have wives may be as though they had none;"
"webme","46","7","30","and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice,as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’tpossess; "
"webme","46","7","31","and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For themode of this world passes away. "
"webme","46","7","32","But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried isconcerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;"
"webme","46","7","33","but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how hemay please his wife. "
"webme","46","7","34","There is also a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarriedwoman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in bodyand in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world—howshe may please her husband. "
"webme","46","7","35","This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for thatwhich is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction."
"webme","46","7","36","But if any man thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward hisvirgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let himdo what he desires. He doesn’t sin. Let them marry."
"webme","46","7","37","But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no urgency, but haspower over his own will, and has determined in his own heart to keep his ownvirgin, does well. "
"webme","46","7","38","So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and hewho doesn’t give her in marriage does better."
"webme","46","7","39","A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if thehusband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only inthe Lord. "
"webme","46","7","40","But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I thinkthat I also have God’s Spirit. "
"webme","46","8","1","Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all haveknowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up."
"webme","46","8","2","But if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he doesn’t yet know as heought to know. "
"webme","46","8","3","But if anyone loves God, the same is known by him."
"webme","46","8","4","Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we knowthat no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one."
"webme","46","8","5","For though there are things that are called “gods”, whether in theheavens or on earth; as there are many “gods” and many “lords”;"
"webme","46","8","6","yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and wefor him; and one Lord, Yeshua the Messiah, through whom are all things, and welive through him. "
"webme","46","8","7","However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness ofthe idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and theirconscience, being weak, is defiled. "
"webme","46","8","8","But food will not commend us to God. For neither, if we don’t eat, are wethe worse; nor, if we eat, are we the better."
"webme","46","8","9","But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become astumbling block to the weak. "
"webme","46","8","10","For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple,won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed toidols? "
"webme","46","8","11","And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother forwhose sake Messiah died. "
"webme","46","8","12","Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience whenit is weak, you sin against Messiah. "
"webme","46","8","13","Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meatforever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble."
"webme","46","9","1","Am I not free? Am I not an emissary? Haven’t I seen Yeshua the Messiah,our Lord? Aren’t you my work in the Lord?"
"webme","46","9","2","If to others I am not an emissary, yet at least I am to you; for you arethe seal of my office of emissary in the Lord."
"webme","46","9","3","My defense to those who examine me is this."
"webme","46","9","4","Have we no right to eat and to drink?"
"webme","46","9","5","Have we no right to take along a wife who is a believer, even as the restof the emissaries, and the brothers of the Lord, andKefa + Greek: Cephas? "
"webme","46","9","6","Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?"
"webme","46","9","7","What soldier ever serves at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard, anddoesn’t eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock, and doesn’t drink from theflock’s milk? "
"webme","46","9","8","Do I speak these things according to the ways of men? Or doesn’t theTorah also say the same thing? "
"webme","46","9","9","For it is written in the Torah of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an oxwhile it treads out the grain.” + Deuteronomy25:4 Is it for the oxen that God cares,"
"webme","46","9","10","or does he say it assuredly for our sake? Yes, it was written for oursake, because he who plows ought to plow in hope, and he who threshes in hopeshould partake of his hope. "
"webme","46","9","11","If we sowed to you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap yourfleshly things? "
"webme","46","9","12","If others partake of this right over you, don’t we yet more?Nevertheless we did not use this right, but we bear all things, that we maycause no hindrance to the Good News of Messiah."
"webme","46","9","13","Don’t you know that those who serve around sacred things eat from thethings of the temple, and those who wait on the altar have their portion withthe altar? "
"webme","46","9","14","Even so the Lord ordained that those who proclaim the Good News shouldlive from the Good News. "
"webme","46","9","15","But I have used none of these things, and I don’t write these thingsthat it may be done so in my case; for I would rather die, than that anyoneshould make my boasting void. "
"webme","46","9","16","For if I proclaim the Good News, I have nothing to boast about; fornecessity is laid on me; but woe is to me, if I don’t proclaim the Good News."
"webme","46","9","17","For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my ownwill, I have a stewardship entrusted to me."
"webme","46","9","18","What then is my reward? That, when I proclaim the Good News, I maypresent the Good News of Messiah without charge, so as not to abuse myauthority in the Good News. "
"webme","46","9","19","For though I was free from all, I brought myself under bondage to all,that I might gain the more. "
"webme","46","9","20","To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those who areunder the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under thelaw; "

"webme","46","9","22","To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have becomeall things to all men, that I may by all means save some."
"webme","46","9","23","Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a jointpartaker of it. "
"webme","46","9","24","Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receivesthe prize? Run like that, that you may win."
"webme","46","9","25","Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things.Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible."
"webme","46","9","26","I therefore run like that, not aimlessly. I fight like that, not beatingthe air, "
"webme","46","9","27","but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means,after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected."
"webme","46","10","1","Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were allunder the cloud, and all passed through the sea;"

"webme","46","10","3","and all ate the same spiritual food;"
"webme","46","10","4","and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritualrock that followed them, and the rock was Messiah."
"webme","46","10","5","However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they wereoverthrown in the wilderness. "
"webme","46","10","6","Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lustafter evil things, as they also lusted."
"webme","46","10","7","Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The peoplesat down to eat and drink, and rose up toplay.” + Exodus 32:6 "

"webme","46","10","10","Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by thedestroyer. "
"webme","46","10","11","Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they werewritten for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come."

"webme","46","10","14","Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry."
"webme","46","10","15","I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say."
"webme","46","10","16","The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood ofMessiah? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Messiah?"
"webme","46","10","17","Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; forwe all partake of the one loaf of bread."
"webme","46","10","18","Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat thesacrifices participate in the altar? "
"webme","46","10","19","What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, orthat an idol is anything? "
"webme","46","10","20","But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrificeto demons, and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowshipwith demons. "

"webme","46","10","25","Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for thesake of conscience, "

"webme","46","10","28","But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it forthe sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “theearth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness.”"

"webme","46","11","2","Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and holdfirm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you."
"webme","46","11","3","But I would have you know that thehead + or, origin of every man is Messiah, and thehead + or, origin of the woman is man, and thehead + or, origin of Messiah is God."
"webme","46","11","4","Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors hishead. "
"webme","46","11","5","But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonorsher head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved."
"webme","46","11","6","For if a woman is not covered, let her hair also be cut off. But if it isshameful for a woman to be have her hair cut off or shaved, let her becovered. "
"webme","46","11","7","For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is theimage and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man."
"webme","46","11","8","For man is not from woman, but woman from man;"
"webme","46","11","9","for man wasn’t created for the woman, but woman for the man."
"webme","46","11","10","For this cause the woman ought to have authority over her own head,because of the angels. "
"webme","46","11","11","Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the manindependent of the woman, in the Lord. "
"webme","46","11","12","For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but allthings are from God. "
"webme","46","11","13","Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to Godunveiled? "
"webme","46","11","14","Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it isa dishonor to him? "

"webme","46","11","16","But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neitherdo God’s assemblies. "
"webme","46","11","17","But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you cometogether not for the better but for the worse."
"webme","46","11","18","For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear thatdivisions exist among you, and I partly believe it."
"webme","46","11","19","For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approvedmay be revealed among you. "
"webme","46","11","20","When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not the Lord’ssupper that you eat. "
"webme","46","11","21","For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry,and another is drunken. "
"webme","46","11","22","What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despiseGod’s assembly, and put them to shame who don’t have? What shall I tell you?Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you."
"webme","46","11","23","For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, thatthe Lord Yeshua on the night in which he was betrayed took bread."
"webme","46","11","24","When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory ofme.” "
"webme","46","11","25","In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink,in memory of me.” "
"webme","46","11","26","For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim theLord’s death until he comes. "
"webme","46","11","27","Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord’s cup in a wayunworthy of the Lord will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord."
"webme","46","11","28","But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, anddrink of the cup. "
"webme","46","11","29","For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgmentto himself, if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body."
"webme","46","11","30","For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep."
"webme","46","11","31","For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged."
"webme","46","11","32","But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not becondemned with the world. "
"webme","46","11","33","Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for oneanother. "
"webme","46","11","34","But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming togetherbe for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come."
"webme","46","12","1","Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to beignorant. "
"webme","46","12","2","You know that when you were heathen, + orGentiles you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led."
"webme","46","12","3","Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says,“Yeshua is accursed.” No one can say, “Yeshua is Lord,” but by the HolySpirit. "
"webme","46","12","4","Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit."
"webme","46","12","5","There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord."
"webme","46","12","6","There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works allthings in all. "
"webme","46","12","7","But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profitof all. "
"webme","46","12","8","For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to anotherthe word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;"
"webme","46","12","9","to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings,by the same Spirit; "
"webme","46","12","10","and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and toanother discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and toanother the interpretation of languages."
"webme","46","12","11","But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing toeach one separately as he desires. "
"webme","46","12","12","For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of thebody, being many, are one body; so also is Messiah."
"webme","46","12","13","For in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews orGreeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit."
"webme","46","12","14","For the body is not one member, but many."
"webme","46","12","15","If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of thebody,” it is not therefore not part of the body."
"webme","46","12","16","If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of thebody,” it’s not therefore not part of the body."
"webme","46","12","17","If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the wholewere hearing, where would the smelling be?"
"webme","46","12","18","But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just ashe desired. "
"webme","46","12","19","If they were all one member, where would the body be?"
"webme","46","12","20","But now they are many members, but one body."
"webme","46","12","21","The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the headto the feet, “I have no need for you.” "
"webme","46","12","22","No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker arenecessary. "
"webme","46","12","23","Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those webestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundantpropriety; "
"webme","46","12","24","whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed thebody together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,"
"webme","46","12","25","that there should be no division in the body, but that the membersshould have the same care for one another."
"webme","46","12","26","When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when onemember is honored, all the members rejoice with it."
"webme","46","12","27","Now you are the body of Messiah, and members individually."
"webme","46","12","28","God has set some in the assembly: first emissaries, second prophets,third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps,governments, and various kinds of languages."
"webme","46","12","29","Are all emissaries? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracleworkers? "
"webme","46","12","30","Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Doall interpret? "
"webme","46","12","31","But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellentway to you. "
"webme","46","13","1","If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love,I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal."
"webme","46","13","2","If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge;and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I amnothing. "
"webme","46","13","3","If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to beburned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing."
"webme","46","13","4","Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is notproud, "
"webme","46","13","5","doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is notprovoked, takes no account of evil; "
"webme","46","13","6","doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;"
"webme","46","13","7","bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures allthings. "
"webme","46","13","8","Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done awaywith. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there isknowledge, it will be done away with. "
"webme","46","13","9","For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;"
"webme","46","13","10","but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partialwill be done away with. "
"webme","46","13","11","When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought asa child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things."
"webme","46","13","12","For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know inpart, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known."
"webme","46","13","13","But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of theseis love. "
"webme","46","14","1","Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especiallythat you may prophesy. "
"webme","46","14","2","For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; forno one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries."
"webme","46","14","3","But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation,and consolation. "
"webme","46","14","4","He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesiesedifies the assembly. "
"webme","46","14","5","Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather thatyou would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks withother languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up."
"webme","46","14","6","But now, brothers, + The word for “brothers” here and where contextallows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you,unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or ofprophesying, or of teaching? "
"webme","46","14","7","Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if theydidn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is pipedor harped? "
"webme","46","14","8","For if the shofar + or, trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who wouldprepare himself for war? "
"webme","46","14","9","So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand,how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air."
"webme","46","14","10","There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none ofthem is without meaning. "
"webme","46","14","11","If then I don’t know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him whospeaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me."
"webme","46","14","12","So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that youmay abound to the building up of the assembly."
"webme","46","14","13","Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he mayinterpret. "
"webme","46","14","14","For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understandingis unfruitful. "
"webme","46","14","15","What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with theunderstanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with theunderstanding also. "
"webme","46","14","16","Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the placeof the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’tknow what you say? "
"webme","46","14","17","For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is notbuilt up. "
"webme","46","14","18","I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all."
"webme","46","14","19","However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with myunderstanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words inanother language. "
"webme","46","14","20","Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but inthoughts be mature. "
"webme","46","14","21","In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lipsof strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me,says the Lord.” + Isaiah 28:11-12 "
"webme","46","14","22","Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, butto the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, butto those who believe. "
"webme","46","14","23","If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak withother languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they saythat you are crazy? "
"webme","46","14","24","But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, heis reproved by all, and he is judged by all."
"webme","46","14","25","And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down onhis face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed."
"webme","46","14","26","What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has apsalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has aninterpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up."
"webme","46","14","27","If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the mostthree, and in turn; and let one interpret."
"webme","46","14","28","But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, andlet him speak to himself, and to God. "
"webme","46","14","29","Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern."
"webme","46","14","30","But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keepsilent. "
"webme","46","14","31","For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may beexhorted. "
"webme","46","14","32","The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,"
"webme","46","14","33","for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, as in all theassemblies of the holy ones. "
"webme","46","14","34","Let the women be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permittedfor them to speak except in submission, as the law alsosays, + Deuteronomy 27:9 "
"webme","46","14","35","if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands athome, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.”"
"webme","46","14","36","What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come toyou alone? "
"webme","46","14","37","If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let himrecognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment ofthe Lord. "
"webme","46","14","38","But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant."
"webme","46","14","39","Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbidspeaking with other languages. "
"webme","46","14","40","Let all things be done decently and in order."
"webme","46","15","1","Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you,which also you received, in which you also stand,"
"webme","46","15","2","by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preachedto you—unless you believed in vain. "
"webme","46","15","3","For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: thatMessiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,"
"webme","46","15","4","that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to theScriptures, "
"webme","46","15","5","and that he appeared to Kefa + Greek:Cephas, then to the twelve. "
"webme","46","15","6","Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whomremain until now, but some have also fallen asleep."
"webme","46","15","7","Then he appeared to Jacob, then to all the emissaries,"
"webme","46","15","8","and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared tome also. "
"webme","46","15","9","For I am the least of the emissaries, who is not worthy to be called anemissary, because I persecuted the assembly of God."
"webme","46","15","10","But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to mewas not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the graceof God which was with me. "
"webme","46","15","11","Whether then it is I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed."
"webme","46","15","12","Now if Messiah is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, howdo some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?"
"webme","46","15","13","But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah beenraised. "
"webme","46","15","14","If Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is in vain, andyour faith also is in vain. "
"webme","46","15","15","Yes, we are also found false witnesses of God, because we testifiedabout God that he raised up Messiah, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so thatthe dead are not raised. "
"webme","46","15","16","For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Messiah been raised."
"webme","46","15","17","If Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still inyour sins. "
"webme","46","15","18","Then they also who are fallen asleep in Messiah have perished."
"webme","46","15","19","If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all men mostpitiable. "
"webme","46","15","20","But now Messiah has been raised from the dead. He became the firstfruits of those who are asleep. "
"webme","46","15","21","For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came byman. "
"webme","46","15","22","For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive."
"webme","46","15","23","But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, then those who areMessiah’s, at his coming. "
"webme","46","15","24","Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even theFather; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power."
"webme","46","15","25","For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet."
"webme","46","15","26","The last enemy that will be abolished is death."
"webme","46","15","27","For, “He put all things in subjection under hisfeet.” + Psalm 8:6 But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”,it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him."
"webme","46","15","28","When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will alsohimself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may beall in all. "
"webme","46","15","29","Or else what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the deadaren’t raised at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?"
"webme","46","15","30","Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?"
"webme","46","15","31","I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah Yeshua ourLord, I die daily. "

"webme","46","15","33","Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”"
"webme","46","15","34","Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. Isay this to your shame. "
"webme","46","15","35","But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind ofbody do they come?” "
"webme","46","15","36","You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless itdies. "
"webme","46","15","37","That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a baregrain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind."

"webme","46","15","42","So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; itis raised imperishable. "
"webme","46","15","43","It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness;it is raised in power. "
"webme","46","15","44","It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is anatural body and there is also a spiritual body."
"webme","46","15","45","So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” + Genesis 2:7 The last Adam became a life-giving spirit."

"webme","46","15","50","Now I say this, brothers, + The word for “brothers” here and wherecontext allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or“siblings.” that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither doesthe perishable inherit imperishable. "

"webme","47","1","21","Now he who establishes us with you in Messiah, and anointed us, is God;"

"webme","47","2","1","But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again insorrow. "
"webme","47","2","2","For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is madesorry by me? "

"webme","47","2","4","For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with manytears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the lovethat I have so abundantly for you. "
"webme","47","2","5","But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but inpart (that I not press too heavily) to you all."
"webme","47","2","6","This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such aone; "

"webme","47","2","9","For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whetheryou are obedient in all things. "
"webme","47","2","10","Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I haveforgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence ofMessiah, "
"webme","47","2","11","that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are notignorant of his schemes. "
"webme","47","2","12","Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Messiah, and when a doorwas opened to me in the Lord, "
"webme","47","2","13","I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn’t find Titus, my brother,but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia."
"webme","47","2","14","Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Messiah, andreveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place."
"webme","47","2","15","For we are a sweet aroma of Messiah to God, in those who are saved, andin those who perish; "
"webme","47","2","16","to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma fromlife to life. Who is sufficient for these things?"
"webme","47","2","17","For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as ofsincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Messiah."
"webme","47","3","1","Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some,letters of commendation to you or from you?"
"webme","47","3","2","You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;"
"webme","47","3","3","being revealed that you are a letter of Messiah, served by us, writtennot with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone,but in tablets that are hearts of flesh."
"webme","47","3","4","Such confidence we have through Messiah toward God;"
"webme","47","3","5","not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as fromourselves; but our sufficiency is from God;"
"webme","47","3","6","who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of theletter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life."
"webme","47","3","7","But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory,so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Mosesfor the glory of his face; which was passing away:"
"webme","47","3","8","won’t service of the Spirit be with much more glory?"
"webme","47","3","9","For if the service of condemnation has glory, the service ofrighteousness exceeds much more in glory."
"webme","47","3","10","For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been madeglorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses."
"webme","47","3","11","For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that whichremains is in glory. "
"webme","47","3","12","Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,"
"webme","47","3","13","and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children ofIsrael wouldn’t look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away."
"webme","47","3","14","But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading ofthe old covenant the same veil remains, because in Messiah it passes away."
"webme","47","3","15","But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart."
"webme","47","3","16","But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."
"webme","47","3","17","Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there isliberty. "
"webme","47","3","18","But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in amirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as fromthe Lord, the Spirit. "
"webme","47","4","1","Therefore seeing we have this ministry, even as we obtained mercy, wedon’t faint. "
"webme","47","4","2","But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking incraftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestationof the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight ofGod. "
"webme","47","4","3","Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish;"
"webme","47","4","4","in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving,that the light of the Good News of the glory of Messiah, who is the image ofGod, should not dawn on them. "
"webme","47","4","5","For we don’t proclaim ourselves, but Messiah Yeshua as Lord, andourselves as your servants for Yeshua’s sake;"
"webme","47","4","6","seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out ofdarkness,” + Genesis 1:3 who has shone in our hearts, to give the lightof the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Yeshua the Messiah."
"webme","47","4","7","But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatnessof the power may be of God, and not from ourselves."
"webme","47","4","8","We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not todespair; "
"webme","47","4","9","pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed;"
"webme","47","4","10","always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Yeshua,that the life of Yeshua may also be revealed in our body."
"webme","47","4","11","For we who live are always delivered to death for Yeshua’s sake, thatthe life also of Yeshua may be revealed in our mortal flesh."
"webme","47","4","12","So then death works in us, but life in you."
"webme","47","4","13","But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written,“I believed, and therefore I spoke.” + Psalm116:10 We also believe, and therefore also we speak;"
"webme","47","4","14","knowing that he who raised the Lord Yeshua will raise us also withYeshua, and will present us with you. "
"webme","47","4","15","For all things are for your sakes, that the grace, being multipliedthrough the many, may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God."
"webme","47","4","16","Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yetour inward man is renewed day by day. "
"webme","47","4","17","For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more andmore exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;"
"webme","47","4","18","while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the thingswhich are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the thingswhich are not seen are eternal. "
"webme","47","5","1","For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have abuilding from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens."
"webme","47","5","2","For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with ourhabitation which is from heaven; "
"webme","47","5","3","if so be that being clothed we will not be found naked."
"webme","47","5","4","For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that wedesire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortalmay be swallowed up by life. "
"webme","47","5","5","Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us thedown payment of the Spirit. "
"webme","47","5","6","Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home inthe body, we are absent from the Lord; "
"webme","47","5","7","for we walk by faith, not by sight."
"webme","47","5","8","We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from thebody, and to be at home with the Lord. "
"webme","47","5","9","Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be wellpleasing to him. "
"webme","47","5","10","For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Messiah; thateach one may receive the things in the body, according to what he has done,whether good or bad. "
"webme","47","5","11","Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we arerevealed to God; and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences."
"webme","47","5","12","For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as givingyou occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answerthose who boast in appearance, and not in heart."
"webme","47","5","13","For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sobermind, it is for you. "
"webme","47","5","14","For the love of Messiah constrains us; because we judge thus, that onedied for all, therefore all died. "
"webme","47","5","15","He died for all, that those who live should no longer live tothemselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again."
"webme","47","5","16","Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though wehave known Messiah after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more."
"webme","47","5","17","Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old thingshave passed away. Behold, + “Behold”, from “????”, means look at, takenotice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as aninterjection. all things have become new."
"webme","47","5","18","But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Yeshuathe Messiah, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;"
"webme","47","5","19","namely, that God was in Messiah reconciling the world to himself, notreckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word ofreconciliation. "
"webme","47","5","20","We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Messiah, as though God wereentreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God."
"webme","47","5","21","For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in himwe might become the righteousness of God."
"webme","47","6","1","Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of Godin vain, "
"webme","47","6","2","for he says, “At an acceptable time I listened to you,in a day of salvation I helped you.” + Isaiah49:8 "
"webme","47","6","3","We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not beblamed, "
"webme","47","6","4","but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in greatendurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,"
"webme","47","6","5","in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, infastings; "
"webme","47","6","6","in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit,in sincere love, "
"webme","47","6","7","in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousnesson the right hand and on the left, "
"webme","47","6","8","by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, andyet true; "
"webme","47","6","9","as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; aspunished, and not killed; "
"webme","47","6","10","as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; ashaving nothing, and yet possessing all things."
"webme","47","6","11","Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged."
"webme","47","6","12","You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your ownaffections. "
"webme","47","6","13","Now in return, I speak as to my children, you also be open wide."
"webme","47","6","14","Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship haverighteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"
"webme","47","6","15","What agreement has Messiah with Belial? Or what portion has a believerwith an unbeliever? "
"webme","47","6","16","What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple ofthe living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; andI will be their God, and they will be mypeople.” + Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel37:27 "
"webme","47","6","17","Therefore “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. + Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel20:34,41 "
"webme","47","6","18","I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’7:8 "
"webme","47","7","1","Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves fromall defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God."
"webme","47","7","2","Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We tookadvantage of no one. "
"webme","47","7","3","I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are inour hearts to die together and live together."
"webme","47","7","4","Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on yourbehalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction."
"webme","47","7","5","For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but wewere afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside."
"webme","47","7","6","Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the comingof Titus; "
"webme","47","7","7","and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he wascomforted in you, while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and yourzeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more."
"webme","47","7","8","For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though Idid regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for awhile. "
"webme","47","7","9","I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorryto repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might sufferloss by us in nothing. "
"webme","47","7","10","For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings noregret. But the sorrow of the world produces death."
"webme","47","7","11","For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way,what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear,longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to bepure in the matter. "
"webme","47","7","12","So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did thewrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest carefor us might be revealed in you in the sight of God."
"webme","47","7","13","Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the moreexceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by youall. "
"webme","47","7","14","For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was notdisappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying alsowhich I made before Titus was found to be truth."
"webme","47","7","15","His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all ofyour obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him."
"webme","47","7","16","I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you."
"webme","47","8","1","Moreover, brothers, we make known to you the grace of God which has beengiven in the assemblies of Macedonia; "
"webme","47","8","2","how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and theirdeep poverty abounded to the riches of their liberality."
"webme","47","8","3","For according to their power, I testify, yes and beyond their power, theygave of their own accord, "
"webme","47","8","4","begging us with much entreaty to receive this grace and the fellowship inthe service to the holy ones. "
"webme","47","8","5","This was not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to theLord, and to us through the will of God."
"webme","47","8","6","So we urged Titus, that as he had made a beginning before, so he wouldalso complete in you this grace. "
"webme","47","8","7","But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, allearnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace."
"webme","47","8","8","I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestnessof others the sincerity also of your love."
"webme","47","8","9","For you know the grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that, though hewas rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his povertymight become rich. "
"webme","47","8","10","I give a judgment in this: for this is expedient for you, who were thefirst to start a year ago, not only to do, but also to be willing."
"webme","47","8","11","But now complete the doing also, that as there was the readiness to bewilling, so there may be the completion also out of your ability."
"webme","47","8","12","For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what youhave, not according to what you don’t have."
"webme","47","8","13","For this is not that others may be eased and you distressed,"
"webme","47","8","14","but for equality. Your abundance at this present time supplies theirlack, that their abundance also may become a supply for your lack; that theremay be equality. "
"webme","47","8","15","As it is written, “He who gathered much had nothing left over, and hewho gathered little had no lack.” + Exodus16:8 "
"webme","47","8","16","But thanks be to God, who puts the same earnest care for you into theheart of Titus. "
"webme","47","8","17","For he indeed accepted our exhortation, but being himself very earnest,he went out to you of his own accord. "
"webme","47","8","18","We have sent together with him the brother whose praise in the Good Newsis known through all the assemblies. "
"webme","47","8","19","Not only so, but who was also appointed by the assemblies to travel withus in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, andto show our readiness. "
"webme","47","8","20","We are avoiding this, that any man should blame us concerning thisabundance which is administered by us. "
"webme","47","8","21","Having regard for honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord,but also in the sight of men. "
"webme","47","8","22","We have sent with them our brother, whom we have many times provedearnest in many things, but now much more earnest, by reason of the greatconfidence which he has in you. "
"webme","47","8","23","As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker for you. As for ourbrothers, they are the emissaries of the assemblies, the glory of Messiah."
"webme","47","8","24","Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of theassemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf."
"webme","47","9","1","It is indeed unnecessary for me to write to you concerning the service tothe holy ones, "
"webme","47","9","2","for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to them ofMacedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for a year past. Your zeal hasstirred up very many of them. "
"webme","47","9","3","But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not bein vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,"
"webme","47","9","4","so that I won’t by any means, if anyone from Macedonia comes there withme and finds you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointedin this confident boasting. "
"webme","47","9","5","I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they wouldgo before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that youpromised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, andnot of greediness. "
"webme","47","9","6","Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He whosows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
"webme","47","9","7","Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; notgrudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver."
"webme","47","9","8","And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always havingall sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work."
"webme","47","9","9","As it is written, “He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor.His righteousness remains forever.” + Psalm112:9 "
"webme","47","9","10","Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply andmultiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;"
"webme","47","9","11","you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which producesthrough us thanksgiving to God. "
"webme","47","9","12","For this service of giving that you perform not only makes up for lackamong the holy ones, but abounds also through many givings of thanks to God;"
"webme","47","9","13","seeing that through the proof given by this service, they glorify Godfor the obedience of your confession to the Good News of Messiah, and for theliberality of your contribution to them and to all;"
"webme","47","9","14","while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, yearn foryou by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you."
"webme","47","9","15","Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!"
"webme","47","10","1","Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness ofMessiah; I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am boldtoward you. "
"webme","47","10","2","Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with theconfidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to bewalking according to the flesh. "
"webme","47","10","3","For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to theflesh; "
"webme","47","10","4","for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty beforeGod to the throwing down of strongholds,"
"webme","47","10","5","throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted againstthe knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to theobedience of Messiah; "
"webme","47","10","6","and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obediencewill be made full. "
"webme","47","10","7","Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? Ifanyone trusts in himself that he is Messiah’s, let him consider this againwith himself, that, even as he is Messiah’s, so also we are Messiah’s."
"webme","47","10","8","For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority,(which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I willnot be disappointed, "
"webme","47","10","9","that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters."
"webme","47","10","10","For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodilypresence is weak, and his speech is despised.”"
"webme","47","10","11","Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letterswhen we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present."
"webme","47","10","12","For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of thosewho commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves bythemselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are withoutunderstanding. "
"webme","47","10","13","But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundarieswith which God appointed to us, which reach even to you."
"webme","47","10","14","For we don’t stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn’t reach toyou. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Messiah,"
"webme","47","10","15","not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hopethat as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphereof influence, "
"webme","47","10","16","so as to proclaim the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not toboast in what someone else has already done."
"webme","47","10","17","But “he who boasts, let him boast in theLord.” + Jeremiah 9:24  "
"webme","47","10","18","For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lordcommends. "
"webme","47","11","1","I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeedyou do bear with me. "
"webme","47","11","2","For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to onehusband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Messiah."
"webme","47","11","3","But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Havah in hiscraftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is inMessiah. "
"webme","47","11","4","For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not proclaim, orif you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different“good news”, which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough."
"webme","47","11","5","For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best emissaries."
"webme","47","11","6","But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge.No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things."
"webme","47","11","7","Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted,because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?"
"webme","47","11","8","I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you."
"webme","47","11","9","When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone,for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of myneed. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I willcontinue to do so. "
"webme","47","11","10","As the truth of Messiah is in me, no one will stop me from this boastingin the regions of Achaia. "
"webme","47","11","11","Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows."
"webme","47","11","12","But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from themthat desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even aswe. "
"webme","47","11","13","For such men are false emissaries, deceitful workers, masquerading asMessiah’s emissaries. "
"webme","47","11","14","And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light."
"webme","47","11","15","It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade asservants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."
"webme","47","11","16","I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me asfoolish, that I also may boast a little."
"webme","47","11","17","That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as infoolishness, in this confidence of boasting."
"webme","47","11","18","Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast."
"webme","47","11","19","For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise."
"webme","47","11","20","For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devoursyou, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on theface. "
"webme","47","11","21","I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet inwhatever way anyone is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also."
"webme","47","11","22","Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they theoffspring + or, seed of Abraham? So am I."
"webme","47","11","23","Are they servants of Messiah? (I speak as one beside himself) I am moreso; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes abovemeasure, in deaths often. "
"webme","47","11","24","Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one."
"webme","47","11","25","Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times Isuffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep."
"webme","47","11","26","I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers,perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city,perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;"
"webme","47","11","27","in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, infastings often, and in cold and nakedness."
"webme","47","11","28","Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on medaily, anxiety for all the assemblies. "
"webme","47","11","29","Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’tburn with indignation? "
"webme","47","11","30","If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness."
"webme","47","11","31","The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, he who is blessedforever more, knows that I don’t lie. "
"webme","47","11","32","In Damascus the governor under King Aretas guarded the city of theDamascenes desiring to arrest me. "
"webme","47","11","33","Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped hishands. "
"webme","47","12","1","It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come tovisions and revelations of the Lord. "
"webme","47","12","2","I know a man in Messiah, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don’tknow, or whether out of the body, I don’t know; God knows), such a one caughtup into the third heaven. "
"webme","47","12","3","I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don’tknow; God knows), "
"webme","47","12","4","how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which itis not lawful for a man to utter. "
"webme","47","12","5","On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will notboast, except in my weaknesses. "
"webme","47","12","6","For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speakthe truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that whichhe sees in me, or hears from me. "
"webme","47","12","7","By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I shouldnot be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, amessenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively."
"webme","47","12","8","Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might departfrom me. "
"webme","47","12","9","He has said to me,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power ismade perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in myweaknesses, that the power of Messiah may rest on me."
"webme","47","12","10","Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, inpersecutions, in distresses, for Messiah’s sake. For when I am weak, then am Istrong. "
"webme","47","12","11","I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to havebeen commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very bestemissaries, though I am nothing. "
"webme","47","12","12","Truly the signs of an emissary were worked among you in all patience, insigns and wonders and mighty works. "
"webme","47","12","13","For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of theassemblies, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive methis wrong. "
"webme","47","12","14","Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will notbe a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the childrenought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children."
"webme","47","12","15","I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you moreabundantly, am I loved the less? "
"webme","47","12","16","But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caughtyou with deception. "
"webme","47","12","17","Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?"
"webme","47","12","18","I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take anyadvantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in thesame steps? "
"webme","47","12","19","Again, do you think that we are excusing ourselves to you? In the sightof God we speak in Messiah. But all things, beloved, are for your edifying."
"webme","47","12","20","For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not theway I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire; that byany means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions,slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;"
"webme","47","12","21","that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I wouldmourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of theuncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed."
"webme","47","13","1","This is the third time I am coming to you. “At the mouth of two or threewitnesses shall every word be established.” + Deuteronomy19:15 "
"webme","47","13","2","I have said beforehand, and I do say beforehand, as when I was presentthe second time, so now, being absent, I write to those who have sinned beforenow, and to all the rest, that, if I come again, I will not spare;"
"webme","47","13","3","seeing that you seek a proof of Messiah who speaks in me; who toward youis not weak, but is powerful in you. "
"webme","47","13","4","For he was crucified through weakness, yet he lives through the power ofGod. For we also are weak in him, but we will live with him through the powerof God toward you. "
"webme","47","13","5","Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your ownselves. Or don’t you know as to your own selves, that Yeshua the Messiah is inyou?—unless indeed you are disqualified."
"webme","47","13","6","But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified."
"webme","47","13","7","Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved,but that you may do that which is honorable, though we are as reprobate."
"webme","47","13","8","For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth."
"webme","47","13","9","For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. And this we also prayfor, even your perfecting. "
"webme","47","13","10","For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not dealsharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me forbuilding up, and not for tearing down. "
"webme","47","13","11","Finally, brothers, rejoice. Be perfected, be comforted, be of the samemind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you."
"webme","47","13","12","Greet one another with a holy kiss."
"webme","47","13","13","All the holy ones greet you. "
"webme","47","13","14","The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, God’s love, and the fellowshipof the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen."
"webme","48","1","1","Paul, an emissary (not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua theMessiah, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),"
"webme","48","1","2","and all the brothers + The word for “brothers” here and where contextallows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who are with me, to the assemblies of Galatia:"
"webme","48","1","3","Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Yeshua theMessiah, "
"webme","48","1","4","who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of thispresent evil age, according to the will of our God and Father—"
"webme","48","1","5","to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen."
"webme","48","1","6","I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in thegrace of Messiah to a different “good news”;"
"webme","48","1","7","and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you,and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah."
"webme","48","1","8","But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you any“good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed."
"webme","48","1","9","As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to youany “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed."
"webme","48","1","10","For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving toplease men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant ofMessiah. "
"webme","48","1","11","But I make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which waspreached by me, that it is not according to man."
"webme","48","1","12","For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it cameto me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah."
"webme","48","1","13","For you have heard of my way of living in time past inJudaism + or, traditional Judaism, how that beyond measure I persecutedthe assembly of God, and ravaged it. "
"webme","48","1","14","I advanced in Judaism + or, traditionalJudaism beyond many of my own age among my countrymen, being moreexceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers."
"webme","48","1","15","But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from mymother’s womb, and called me through his grace,"
"webme","48","1","16","to reveal his Son in me, that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, Ididn’t immediately confer with flesh and blood,"
"webme","48","1","17","nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were emissaries before me, butI went away into Arabia. Then I returned to Damascus."
"webme","48","1","18","Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Peter, and stayedwith him fifteen days. "
"webme","48","1","19","But of the other emissaries I saw no one, except Jacob, the Lord’sbrother. "
"webme","48","1","20","Now about the things which I write to you,behold, + “Behold”, from “????”, means look at, take notice, observe, see,or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. before God, I’m not lying."
"webme","48","1","21","Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia."
"webme","48","1","22","I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were inMessiah, "
"webme","48","1","23","but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faiththat he once tried to destroy.” "
"webme","48","1","24","And they glorified God in me. "
"webme","48","2","1","Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem withBarnabas, taking Titus also with me. "
"webme","48","2","2","I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which Iproclaim among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected,for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain."
"webme","48","2","3","But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to becircumcised. "
"webme","48","2","4","This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole into spy out our liberty which we have in Messiah Yeshua, that they might bringus into bondage; "
"webme","48","2","5","to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, thatthe truth of the Good News might continue with you."
"webme","48","2","6","But from those who were reputed to be important (whatever they were, itmakes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man)—they, I say,who were respected imparted nothing to me,"
"webme","48","2","7","but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with theGood News for the uncircumcision, even as Peter with the Good News for thecircumcision "
"webme","48","2","8","(for he who appointed Peter to be an emissary of the circumcisionappointed me also to the Gentiles); "
"webme","48","2","9","and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, Jacob andKefa + Greek: Cephas and Yochanan, they who were reputed to be pillars,gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to theGentiles, and they to the circumcision."
"webme","48","2","10","They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was alsozealous to do. "
"webme","48","2","11","But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because hestood condemned. "
"webme","48","2","12","For before some people came from Jacob, he ate with the Gentiles. Butwhen they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were ofthe circumcision. "
"webme","48","2","13","And the rest of the Jewish believers joined him in his hypocrisy; sothat even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy."
"webme","48","2","14","But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth ofthe Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live asthe Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles tolive as the Jews do? "
"webme","48","2","15","“We, being Jews by birth, and not Gentile sinners,"
"webme","48","2","16","yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law butthrough faith in Yeshua the Messiah, even we believed in Messiah Yeshua, thatwe might be justified by faith in Messiah, and not by the works of the law,because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law."
"webme","48","2","17","But if, while we sought to be justified in Messiah, we ourselves alsowere found sinners, is Messiah a servant of sin? Certainly not!"
"webme","48","2","18","For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself alaw-breaker. "
"webme","48","2","19","For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God."
"webme","48","2","20","I have been crucified with Messiah, and it is no longer I that live, butMessiah lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faithin the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me."
"webme","48","2","21","I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through thelaw, then Messiah died for nothing!” "
"webme","48","3","1","Foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you not to obey the truth, beforewhose eyes Yeshua the Messiah was openly portrayed among you as crucified?"
"webme","48","3","2","I just want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by theworks of the law, or by hearing of faith?"
"webme","48","3","3","Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now completed inthe flesh? "
"webme","48","3","4","Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?"
"webme","48","3","5","He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and does miracles among you,does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?"
"webme","48","3","6","Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him forrighteousness.” "
"webme","48","3","7","Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children ofAbraham. "
"webme","48","3","8","The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you all the nationswill be blessed.” + Genesis 12:3; 18:18;22:18 "
"webme","48","3","9","So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham."
"webme","48","3","10","For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it iswritten, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that arewritten in the scroll of the Torah, to dothem.” + Deuteronomy 27:26 "
"webme","48","3","11","Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “Therighteous will live by faith.” + Habakkuk2:4 "
"webme","48","3","12","The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live bythem.” + Leviticus 18:5 "
"webme","48","3","13","Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse forus. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on atree,” + Deuteronomy 21:23 "
"webme","48","3","14","that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through MessiahYeshua; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
"webme","48","3","15","Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant,yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it."
"webme","48","3","16","Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to hisoffspring. + or, seed He doesn’t say, “Todescendants + or, seeds”, as of many, but as of one, “To youroffspring + or, seed”, + Genesis 12:7; 13:15;24:7 which is Messiah. "
"webme","48","3","17","Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Messiah, thelaw, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to makethe promise of no effect. "
"webme","48","3","18","For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but Godhas granted it to Abraham by promise. "
"webme","48","3","19","What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until theoffspring + or, seed should come to whom the promise has been made. Itwas ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator."
"webme","48","3","20","Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one."
"webme","48","3","21","Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if therehad been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousnesswould have been of the law. "
"webme","48","3","22","But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise byfaith in Yeshua the Messiah might be given to those who believe."
"webme","48","3","23","But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confinedfor the faith which should afterwards be revealed."
"webme","48","3","24","So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Messiah, that wemight be justified by faith. "
"webme","48","3","25","But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."
"webme","48","3","26","For you are all children of God, through faith in Messiah Yeshua."
"webme","48","3","27","For as many of you as were immersed into Messiah have put on Messiah."
"webme","48","3","28","There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man,there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Messiah Yeshua."
"webme","48","3","29","If you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’soffspring + or, seed and heirs according to promise."
"webme","48","4","1","But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from abondservant, though he is lord of all; "
"webme","48","4","2","but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by thefather. "
"webme","48","4","3","So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under theelemental principles of the world. "
"webme","48","4","4","But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to awoman, born under the law, "
"webme","48","4","5","that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receivethe adoption of children. "
"webme","48","4","6","And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son intoyour hearts, crying, “Abba, + Abba is a Greek spelling for the Aramaic wordfor “Father” or “Daddy” used in a familiar, respectful, and loving way. Father!” "
"webme","48","4","7","So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heirof God through Messiah. "
"webme","48","4","8","However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those whoby nature are not gods. "
"webme","48","4","9","But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, whydo you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, towhich you desire to be in bondage all over again?"
"webme","48","4","10","You observe days, months, seasons, and years."
"webme","48","4","11","I am afraid for you, that I might have wasted my labor for you."
"webme","48","4","12","I beg you, brothers, become as I am, for I also have become as you are.You did me no wrong, "
"webme","48","4","13","but you know that because of weakness of the flesh I preached the GoodNews to you the first time. "
"webme","48","4","14","That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn’t despise norreject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Messiah Yeshua."
"webme","48","4","15","What was the blessing you enjoyed? For I testify to you that, ifpossible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me."
"webme","48","4","16","So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?"
"webme","48","4","17","They zealously seek you in no good way. No, they desire to alienate you,that you may seek them. "
"webme","48","4","18","But it is always good to be zealous in a good cause, and not only when Iam present with you. "
"webme","48","4","19","My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Messiah isformed in you— "
"webme","48","4","20","but I could wish to be present with you now, and to change my tone, forI am perplexed about you. "
"webme","48","4","21","Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don’t you listen to thelaw? "
"webme","48","4","22","For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the servant, and oneby the free woman. "
"webme","48","4","23","However, the son by the servant was born according to the flesh, but theson by the free woman was born through promise."
"webme","48","4","24","These things contain an allegory, for these are two covenants. One isfrom Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar."
"webme","48","4","25","For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to the Jerusalemthat exists now, for she is in bondage with her children."
"webme","48","4","26","But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all."
"webme","48","4","27","For it is written, “Rejoice, you barren who don’t bear.Break out and shout, you that don’t travail.For more are the children of the desolate than of her who has a husband.” + Isaiah 54:1 "
"webme","48","4","28","Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise."
"webme","48","4","29","But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him whowas born according to the Spirit, so also it is now."
"webme","48","4","30","However what does the Scripture say? “Throw out the servant and her son,for the son of the servant will not inherit with the son of the freewoman.” + Genesis 21:10 "
"webme","48","4","31","So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant, but of the freewoman. "
"webme","48","5","1","Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Messiah has made us free,and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
"webme","48","5","2","Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Messiah willprofit you nothing. "
"webme","48","5","3","Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is adebtor to do the whole law. "
"webme","48","5","4","You are alienated from Messiah, you who desire to be justified by thelaw. You have fallen away from grace. "
"webme","48","5","5","For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness."
"webme","48","5","6","For in Messiah Yeshua neither circumcision amounts to anything, noruncircumcision, but faith working through love."
"webme","48","5","7","You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obeythe truth? "
"webme","48","5","8","This persuasion is not from him who calls you."
"webme","48","5","9","A little yeast grows through the whole lump."
"webme","48","5","10","I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no otherway. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is."
"webme","48","5","11","But I, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why am I stillpersecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed."
"webme","48","5","12","I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off."
"webme","48","5","13","For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedomfor gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another."
"webme","48","5","14","For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall loveyour neighbor as yourself.” + Leviticus19:18 "
"webme","48","5","15","But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’tconsume one another. "
"webme","48","5","16","But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of theflesh. "
"webme","48","5","17","For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against theflesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the thingsthat you desire. "
"webme","48","5","18","But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law."
"webme","48","5","19","Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexualimmorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, "
"webme","48","5","20","idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger,rivalries, divisions, heresies, "
"webme","48","5","21","envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which Iforewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice suchthings will not inherit God’s Kingdom. "
"webme","48","5","22","But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,goodness, faith, + or, faithfulness"
"webme","48","5","23","gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
"webme","48","5","24","Those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passionsand lusts. "
"webme","48","5","25","If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit."
"webme","48","5","26","Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying oneanother. "
"webme","48","6","1","Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritualmust restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so thatyou also aren’t tempted. "
"webme","48","6","2","Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the Torah of Messiah."
"webme","48","6","3","For if a man thinks himself to be something when he is nothing, hedeceives himself. "
"webme","48","6","4","But let each man examine his own work, and then he will have reason toboast in himself, and not in someone else."
"webme","48","6","5","For each man will bear his own burden."
"webme","48","6","6","But let him who is taught in the word share all good things with him whoteaches. "
"webme","48","6","7","Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that hewill also reap. "
"webme","48","6","8","For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. Buthe who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."
"webme","48","6","9","Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if wedon’t give up. "
"webme","48","6","10","So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men,and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith."
"webme","48","6","11","See with what large letters I write to you with my own hand."
"webme","48","6","12","As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to becircumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Messiah."
"webme","48","6","13","For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves,but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh."
"webme","48","6","14","But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Yeshuathe Messiah, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to theworld. "
"webme","48","6","15","For in Messiah Yeshua neither is circumcision anything, noruncircumcision, but a new creation. "
"webme","48","6","16","As many as walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’sIsrael. "
"webme","48","6","17","From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks ofthe Lord Yeshua branded on my body. "
"webme","48","6","18","The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit, brothers."

"webme","49","1","15","For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshuawhich is among you, and the love which you have toward all the holy ones,"
"webme","49","1","16","don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,"
"webme","49","1","17","that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, maygive to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;"

"webme","49","1","20","which he worked in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and madehim to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,"
"webme","49","1","21","far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and everyname that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come."
"webme","49","1","22","He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be headover all things for the assembly, "
"webme","49","1","23","which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all."
"webme","49","2","1","You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,"
"webme","49","2","2","in which you once walked according to the course of this world, accordingto the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in thechildren of disobedience; "
"webme","49","2","3","among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing thedesires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath,even as the rest. "
"webme","49","2","4","But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,"
"webme","49","2","5","even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive togetherwith Messiah (by grace you have been saved),"
"webme","49","2","6","and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenlyplaces in Messiah Yeshua, "
"webme","49","2","7","that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his gracein kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua;"
"webme","49","2","8","for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not ofyourselves; it is the gift of God, "
"webme","49","2","9","not of works, that no one would boast."
"webme","49","2","10","For we are his workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works,which God prepared before that we would walk in them."
"webme","49","2","11","Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who arecalled “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision”, (in the flesh,made by hands); "
"webme","49","2","12","that you were at that time separate from Messiah, alienated from thecommonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise,having no hope and without God in the world."
"webme","49","2","13","But now in Messiah Yeshua you who once were far off are made near in theblood of Messiah. "
"webme","49","2","14","For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wallof partition, "

"webme","49","2","17","He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who werenear. "
"webme","49","2","18","For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father."
"webme","49","2","19","So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellowcitizens with the holy ones, and of the household of God,"

"webme","49","4","1","I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of thecalling with which you were called, "

"webme","50","1","16","The former insincerely proclaim Messiah from selfish ambition, thinkingthat they add affliction to my chains; "

"webme","50","2","1","If there is therefore any exhortation in Messiah, if any consolation oflove, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,"

"webme","50","2","5","Have this in your mind, which was also in Messiah Yeshua,"
"webme","50","2","6","who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God athing to be grasped, "

"webme","50","2","8","And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient todeath, yes, the death of the cross. "
"webme","50","2","9","Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which isabove every name; "

"webme","50","2","19","But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you soon, that I alsomay be cheered up when I know how you are doing."
"webme","50","2","20","For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you."
"webme","50","2","21","For they all seek their own, not the things of Yeshua the Messiah."
"webme","50","2","22","But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so heserved with me in furtherance of the Good News."
"webme","50","2","23","Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will gowith me. "
"webme","50","2","24","But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly."
"webme","50","2","25","But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother,fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your emissary and servant of my need;"
"webme","50","2","26","since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you hadheard that he was sick. "
"webme","50","2","27","For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; andnot on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow."
"webme","50","2","28","I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see himagain, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful."
"webme","50","2","29","Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,"
"webme","50","2","30","because for the work of Messiah he came near to death, risking his lifeto supply that which was lacking in your service toward me."

"webme","50","3","2","Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the falsecircumcision. "
"webme","50","3","3","For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoicein Messiah Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh;"
"webme","50","3","4","though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other manthinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:"
"webme","50","3","5","circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe ofBenjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;"
"webme","50","3","6","concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousnesswhich is in the law, found blameless. "
"webme","50","3","7","However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss forMessiah. "
"webme","50","3","8","Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for theexcellency of the knowledge of Messiah Yeshua, my Lord, for whom I sufferedthe loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gainMessiah "
"webme","50","3","9","and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which isof the law, but that which is through faith in Messiah, the righteousnesswhich is from God by faith; "

"webme","50","3","11","if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead."
"webme","50","3","12","Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but Ipress on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was takenhold of by Messiah Yeshua. "
"webme","50","3","13","Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thingI do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to thethings which are before, "
"webme","50","3","14","I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God inMessiah Yeshua. "
"webme","50","3","15","Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anythingyou think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you."
"webme","50","3","16","Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walkby the same rule. Let us be of the same mind."
"webme","50","3","17","Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way,even as you have us for an example. "
"webme","50","3","18","For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping,as the enemies of the cross of Messiah,"
"webme","50","3","19","whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is intheir shame, who think about earthly things."

"webme","50","3","21","who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the bodyof his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject allthings to himself. "
"webme","50","4","1","Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, sostand firm in the Lord, my beloved. "
"webme","50","4","2","I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in theLord. "
"webme","50","4","3","Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they laboredwith me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellowworkers, whose names are in the book of life."
"webme","50","4","4","Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”"
"webme","50","4","5","Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand."

"webme","50","4","7","And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard yourhearts and your thoughts in Messiah Yeshua."
"webme","50","4","8","Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things arehonorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever thingsare lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and ifthere is any praise, think about these things."
"webme","50","4","9","The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do thesethings, and the God of peace will be with you."
"webme","50","4","10","But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revivedyour thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lackedopportunity. "
"webme","50","4","11","Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whateverstate I am, to be content in it. "
"webme","50","4","12","I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everythingand in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to behungry, both to abound and to be in need."

"webme","52","4","3","For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain fromsexual immorality, "

"webme","52","5","1","But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need thatanything be written to you. "
"webme","52","5","2","For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thiefin the night. "
"webme","52","5","3","For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destructionwill come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in noway escape. "

"webme","52","5","10","who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live togetherwith him. "
"webme","52","5","11","Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you alsodo. "
"webme","52","5","12","But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and areover you in the Lord, and admonish you,"
"webme","52","5","13","and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake."
"webme","52","5","14","We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage thefaint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all."

"webme","57","1","4","I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,"
"webme","57","1","5","hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the LordYeshua, and toward all the holy ones; "
"webme","57","1","6","that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledgeof every good thing which is in us in Messiah Yeshua."
"webme","57","1","7","For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of theholy ones have been refreshed through you, brother."
"webme","57","1","8","Therefore though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that whichis appropriate, "
"webme","57","1","9","yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, butalso a prisoner of Yeshua the Messiah. "
"webme","57","1","10","I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains,Onesimus,  + Onesimus means “useful”."
"webme","57","1","11","who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me."
"webme","57","1","12","I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,"
"webme","57","1","13","whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me inmy chains for the Good News. "
"webme","57","1","14","But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodnesswould not be as of necessity, but of free will."
"webme","57","1","15","For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that youwould have him forever, "
"webme","57","1","16","no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother,especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in theLord. "
"webme","57","1","17","If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me."
"webme","57","1","18","But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to myaccount. "
"webme","57","1","19","I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention toyou that you owe to me even your own self besides)."
"webme","57","1","20","Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart inthe Lord. "
"webme","57","1","21","Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that youwill do even beyond what I say. "
"webme","57","1","22","Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayersI will be restored to you. "
"webme","57","1","23","Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Messiah Yeshua, greets you,"
"webme","57","1","24","as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers."
"webme","57","1","25","The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit. Amen."
"webme","58","1","1","God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets atmany times and in various ways, "
"webme","58","1","2","has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointedheir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds."
"webme","58","1","3","His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance,and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himselfpurified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;"
"webme","58","1","4","having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a moreexcellent name than they have. "
"webme","58","1","5","For to which of the angels did he say at any time,“You are my Son. Today have I become your father?” + Psalm2:7 “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” + 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles17:13 "
"webme","58","1","6","When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let allthe angels of God worship him.” + Deuteronomy 32:43LXX "
"webme","58","1","7","Of the angels he says, “Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.” + Psalm104:4 "
"webme","58","1","8","But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom."
"webme","58","1","9","You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness aboveyour fellows.” + Psalm 45:6-7 "
"webme","58","1","10","And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.The heavens are the works of your hands."
"webme","58","1","11","They will perish, but you continue.They all will grow old like a garment does."
"webme","58","1","12","You will roll them up like a mantle,and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail.” + Psalm102:25-27 "
"webme","58","1","13","But which of the angels has he told at any time,“Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of yourfeet?” + Psalm 110:1 "
"webme","58","1","14","Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake ofthose who will inherit salvation? "
"webme","58","2","1","Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that wereheard, lest perhaps we drift away. "
"webme","58","2","2","For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and everytransgression and disobedience received a just recompense;"
"webme","58","2","3","how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the firsthaving been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;"
"webme","58","2","4","God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by variousworks of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?"
"webme","58","2","5","For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels."
"webme","58","2","6","But one has somewhere testified, saying,“What is man, that you think of him?Or the son of man, that you care for him?"
"webme","58","2","7","You made him a little lower than the angels.You crowned him with glory and honor. + TR adds “and set him over theworks of your hands” "
"webme","58","2","8","You have put all things in subjection under hisfeet.” + Psalm 8:4-6  subject to him. But now we don’t see all things subjected to him, yet."
"webme","58","2","9","But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Yeshua,because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by thegrace of God he should taste of death for everyone."
"webme","58","2","10","For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are allthings, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of theirsalvation perfect through sufferings. "
"webme","58","2","11","For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all fromone, for which cause he is not ashamed to call thembrothers, + The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may alsobe correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or“siblings.” "
"webme","58","2","12","saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers.Among of the congregation I will sing yourpraise.” + Psalm 22:22 "
"webme","58","2","13","Again, “I will put my trust in him.” + Isaiah8:17 Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has givenme.” + Isaiah 8:18 "
"webme","58","2","14","Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himselfin the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring tonothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,"
"webme","58","2","15","and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all theirlifetime subject to bondage. "
"webme","58","2","16","For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help tothe offspring + or, seed of Abraham."
"webme","58","2","17","Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers,that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertainingto God, to make atonement for the sins of the people."
"webme","58","2","18","For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to helpthose who are tempted. "
"webme","58","3","1","Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider theEmissary and High Priest of our confession, Yeshua;"
"webme","58","3","2","who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all hishouse. "
"webme","58","3","3","For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, because he whobuilt the house has more honor than the house."
"webme","58","3","4","For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God."
"webme","58","3","5","Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimonyof those things which were afterward to be spoken,"
"webme","58","3","6","but Messiah is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, ifwe hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end."
"webme","58","3","7","Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says,“Today if you will hear his voice, "
"webme","58","3","8","don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,"
"webme","58","3","9","where your fathers tested me by proving me,and saw my deeds for forty years. "
"webme","58","3","10","Therefore I was displeased with that generation,and said, ‘They always err in their heart,but they didn’t know my ways;’ "
"webme","58","3","11","as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” + Psalm95:7-11 "
"webme","58","3","12","Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heartof unbelief, in falling away from the living God;"
"webme","58","3","13","but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lestany one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin."
"webme","58","3","14","For we have become partakers of Messiah, if we hold fast the beginningof our confidence firm to the end: "
"webme","58","3","15","while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in therebellion.” + Psalm 95:7-8 "
"webme","58","3","16","For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out ofEgypt by Moses? "
"webme","58","3","17","With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those whosinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?"
"webme","58","3","18","To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but tothose who were disobedient? "
"webme","58","3","19","We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief."
"webme","58","4","1","Let us fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to havecome short of a promise of entering into his rest."
"webme","58","4","2","For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did,but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faithby those who heard. "
"webme","58","4","3","For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said,“As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into myrest”; + Psalm 95:11  although the works were finished from thefoundation of the world. "
"webme","58","4","4","For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on theseventh day from all his works”; + Genesis2:2 "
"webme","58","4","5","and in this place again, “They will not enter into myrest.” + Psalm 95:11 "
"webme","58","4","6","Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they towhom the good news was before preached failed to enter in because ofdisobedience, "
"webme","58","4","7","he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long atime afterward (just as has been said),“Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.” + Psalm95:7-8 "
"webme","58","4","8","For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward ofanother day. "
"webme","58","4","9","There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God."
"webme","58","4","10","For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from hisworks, as God did from his. "
"webme","58","4","11","Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyonefall after the same example of disobedience."
"webme","58","4","12","For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edgedsword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints andmarrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
"webme","58","4","13","There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things arenaked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account."
"webme","58","4","14","Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens,Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession."
"webme","58","4","15","For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling ofour infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yetwithout sin. "
"webme","58","4","16","Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that wemay receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need."
"webme","58","5","1","For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for menin things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices forsins. "
"webme","58","5","2","The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and goingastray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness."
"webme","58","5","3","Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, aswell as for himself. "
"webme","58","5","4","Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just likeAaron was. "
"webme","58","5","5","So also Messiah didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but itwas he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.” + Psalm2:7 "
"webme","58","5","6","As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” + Psalm110:4 "
"webme","58","5","7","He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitionswith strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, andhaving been heard for his godly fear, "
"webme","58","5","8","though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which hesuffered. "
"webme","58","5","9","Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him theauthor of eternal salvation, "
"webme","58","5","10","named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek."
"webme","58","5","11","About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing youhave become dull of hearing. "
"webme","58","5","12","For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to havesomeone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations ofGod. You have come to need milk, and not solid food."
"webme","58","5","13","For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word ofrighteousness, for he is a baby. "
"webme","58","5","14","But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of usehave their senses exercised to discern good and evil."
"webme","58","6","1","Therefore leaving the teaching of the first principles of Messiah, let uspress on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from deadworks, of faith toward God, "
"webme","58","6","2","of the teaching of immersions + or,washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and ofeternal judgment. "
"webme","58","6","3","This will we do, if God permits. "
"webme","58","6","4","For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenlygift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,"
"webme","58","6","5","and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,"
"webme","58","6","6","and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance;seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to openshame. "
"webme","58","6","7","For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, andproduces a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receivesblessing from God; "
"webme","58","6","8","but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near beingcursed, whose end is to be burned. "
"webme","58","6","9","But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things thataccompany salvation, even though we speak like this."
"webme","58","6","10","For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor oflove which you showed toward his name, in that you served the holy ones, andstill do serve them. "
"webme","58","6","11","We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to thefullness of hope even to the end, "
"webme","58","6","12","that you won’t be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith andpatience inherited the promises. "
"webme","58","6","13","For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no onegreater, he swore by himself, "
"webme","58","6","14","saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I willmultiply you.” + Genesis 22:17 "
"webme","58","6","15","Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise."
"webme","58","6","16","For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirsthe oath is final for confirmation. "
"webme","58","6","17","In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirsof the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;"
"webme","58","6","18","that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie,we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold ofthe hope set before us. "
"webme","58","6","19","This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure andsteadfast and entering into that which is within the veil;"
"webme","58","6","20","where as a forerunner Yeshua entered for us, having become a high priestforever after the order of Melchizedek."
"webme","58","7","1","For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who metAbraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,"
"webme","58","7","2","to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, byinterpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, whichmeans “king of peace”; "
"webme","58","7","3","without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neitherbeginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains apriest continually. "
"webme","58","7","4","Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch,gave a tenth out of the best plunder. "
"webme","58","7","5","They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have acommandment to take tithes of the people according to the Torah, that is, oftheir brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,"
"webme","58","7","6","but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes fromAbraham, and has blessed him who has the promises."
"webme","58","7","7","But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater."
"webme","58","7","8","Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whomit is testified that he lives. "
"webme","58","7","9","We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paidtithes, "
"webme","58","7","10","for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him."
"webme","58","7","11","Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for underit the people have received the law), what further need was there for anotherpriest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after theorder of Aaron? "
"webme","58","7","12","For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change madealso in the law. "
"webme","58","7","13","For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, fromwhich no one has officiated at the altar."
"webme","58","7","14","For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about whichtribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood."
"webme","58","7","15","This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness ofMelchizedek there arises another priest,"
"webme","58","7","16","who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but afterthe power of an endless life: "
"webme","58","7","17","for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” + Psalm110:4 "
"webme","58","7","18","For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of itsweakness and uselessness "
"webme","58","7","19","(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope,through which we draw near to God. "
"webme","58","7","20","Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath"
"webme","58","7","21","(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with anoath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” + Psalm110:4 "
"webme","58","7","22","By so much, Yeshua has become the collateral of a better covenant."
"webme","58","7","23","Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered fromcontinuing by death. "
"webme","58","7","24","But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable."
"webme","58","7","25","Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw nearto God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession forthem. "
"webme","58","7","26","For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled,separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"
"webme","58","7","27","who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily,first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did thisonce for all, when he offered up himself."
"webme","58","7","28","For the Torah appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but theword of the oath which came after the Torah appoints a Son forever who hasbeen perfected. "
"webme","58","8","1","Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We havesuch a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of theMajesty in the heavens, "
"webme","58","8","2","a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lordpitched, not man. "
"webme","58","8","3","For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices.Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer."
"webme","58","8","4","For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing thereare priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah;"
"webme","58","8","5","who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses waswarned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, youshall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on themountain.” + Exodus 25:40 "
"webme","58","8","6","But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he isalso the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has beengiven as Torah. "
"webme","58","8","7","For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would havebeen sought for a second. "
"webme","58","8","8","For finding fault with them, he said,“Behold, + “Behold”, from “????”, means look at, take notice, observe,see, or gaze at. It is often used as aninterjection. the days come”, says the Lord,“that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with thehouse of Judah; "
"webme","58","8","9","not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers,in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land ofEgypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant,and I disregarded them,” says the Lord."
"webme","58","8","10","“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind,I will also write them on their heart.I will be their God, and they will be my people. "
"webme","58","8","11","They will not teach every man his fellowcitizen, + TR reads “neighbor” instead of “fellowcitizen” and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’for all will know me, from their least to their greatest."
"webme","58","8","12","For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness.I will remember their sins and lawless deeds nomore.” + Jeremiah 31:31-34 "
"webme","58","8","13","In that he says, “A new covenant”, he has made the first old. But thatwhich is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away."
"webme","58","9","1","Now indeed even the first + TR adds“tabernacle” covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthlysanctuary. "
"webme","58","9","2","For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, thetable, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place."
"webme","58","9","3","After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy ofHolies, "
"webme","58","9","4","having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid onall sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rodthat budded, and the tablets of the covenant;"
"webme","58","9","5","and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of whichthings we can’t speak now in detail. "
"webme","58","9","6","Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continuallyinto the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,"
"webme","58","9","7","but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not withoutblood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people."
"webme","58","9","8","The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Placewasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;"
"webme","58","9","9","which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices areoffered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiperperfect; "
"webme","58","9","10","being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshlyordinances, imposed until a time of reformation."
"webme","58","9","11","But Messiah having come as a high priest of the coming good things,through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that isto say, not of this creation, "
"webme","58","9","12","nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his ownblood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternalredemption. "
"webme","58","9","13","For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifersprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of theflesh: "
"webme","58","9","14","how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spiritoffered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead worksto serve the living God? "
"webme","58","9","15","For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death hasoccurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the firstcovenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of theeternal inheritance. "
"webme","58","9","16","For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be thedeath of him who made it. "
"webme","58","9","17","For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never inforce while he who made it lives. "
"webme","58","9","18","Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood."
"webme","58","9","19","For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the peopleaccording to the Torah, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, withwater and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and allthe people, "
"webme","58","9","20","saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commandedyou.” + Exodus 24:8 "
"webme","58","9","21","Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministryin the same way with the blood. "
"webme","58","9","22","According to the Torah, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, andapart from shedding of blood there is no remission."
"webme","58","9","23","It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavensshould be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with bettersacrifices than these. "
"webme","58","9","24","For Messiah hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which arerepresentations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in thepresence of God for us; "
"webme","58","9","25","nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entersinto the holy place year by year with blood not his own,"

"webme","58","10","1","For the Torah, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image ofthe things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offercontinually, make perfect those who draw near."
"webme","58","10","2","Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers,having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?"
"webme","58","10","3","But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins."
"webme","58","10","4","For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take awaysins. "
"webme","58","10","5","Therefore when he comes into the world, he says,“Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire,but you prepared a body for me. "
"webme","58","10","6","You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin."

"webme","58","10","10","by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the bodyof Yeshua the Messiah once for all. "
"webme","58","10","11","Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering thesame sacrifices, which can never take away sins,"

"webme","58","10","25","not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, butexhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."
"webme","58","10","26","For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of thetruth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,"
